It is also implied that he has an intense fear of Kratos as well, as he knows nothing about him except for the fact that he's extremely powerful and having fought and killed one of his sons, Baldur and his two grandsons, Magni and Modi in battle.
Firstly, Odin calls Kratos guilty of the murder of Magni, Modi, and Baldur and then comes up with quite a surprising offer. He asks Kratos to not get in his way, and in return, Odin will not bother him.
When the Spartan threatened him with his newly forged spear, Odin reveals to him that Atreus is in Asgard and is doing well. After letting Durlin go, Odin tries to tell Kratos that he also wants peace as much as he does and that they could find it together.
In the Novelization of God Of War by J.M Barlog it was stated that Odin Ravens spied the entire journey of Kratos and Atreus till the top of the mountain which obviously states Odin knows about Kratos wreaking Havoc in Midgard.
Odin has been handling and manipulating enraged killers his entire life, Kratos going full rage mode would just play into Odins hands. The point of much of the story is how Kratos changing or controlling his nature is what allows him to succeed.
While it is true that the hammer would have been an incredible asset for the player, it cannot be wielded or even picked up by Kratos (nor Atreus) for several reasons.
4 Saitama Can Literally Beat Kratos With A Single Punch
Saitama does not get excited about battle anymore, and that is because he has become the strongest known being in the universe. Like Kratos, Saitama possesses inhuman strength and endurance, but unlike the God of War, he has unparalleled speed and reflexes.
Odin Was Right Next To Kratos The Entire Time
The first thing Odin tells Kratos he wants is peace, and Tyr persistently demonstrates how he has left behind his ways of war and now wants peace more than anything.
Odin allows it. But with Heimdall dead, Atreus decides he should return to Asgard. Odin will soon figure out that Kratos killed Heimdall, and that will surely lead to war.
The main task that Odin gave to Atreus was to find missing pieces of a broken mask and put them together. This mask was a very important object in God of War: Ragnarok, and Odin's obsession with it is what motivated him throughout the game.
Odin's soul is trapped by Kratos, Freya and Atreus in a frenetic final battle, but ultimately destroyed by Sindri, taking revenge for the death of Brok when Odin was posing as Tyr.
Fatherhood and losing a second wife have also taken a toll on Kratos, limiting his once-legendary strength to a fraction of its potential.
It is documented that Greek gods grow stronger with age, and audiences have seen that with the sheer power and invulnerability of Old Kratos. As such, Old Kratos would win based on age.
Freya is upset with Kratos at the beginning of God of War Ragnarök because she believes Kratos killed her beloved son Baldur in cold blood. Kratos actually killed Baldur to stop what felt like a seemingly endless cycle of gods killing their parents and family members.
He hates Ares for tricking him into killing his wife and daughter. He hates Zeus for attempting to kill him, but I always thought that was a little muddy motive. Zeus was justified for trying to stop Kratos as he was murdering everyone to begin with.
Is Kratos Stronger than Odin? A. The blades Kratos uses are more powerful than Odin's magic. His blades can create flames in Helheim, an impossible feat for even Odin's magic.
Likewise, thanks to centuries of relying on his powers of foresight to win, Heimdall was unable to properly wield his sword Hofuð to achieve victory, using it more to shield and bat away Kratos and his attacks.
To hurt him, Kratos must detonate the spear while Heimdall is holding it, which will stagger him for a brief moment. Sadly, it will be impossible to land any direct hits on Heimdall until his stagger meter has been filled, so players will need to repeat this process a few times.
Kratos is equipped with the Draupnir spear, a new weapon in God of War: Ragnarok that overwhelms Heimdall's precognition and dazes him. While it may seem silly that Heimdall falls for the same trick multiple times, it suits his character: He refuses to accept that he can be hurt.
Odin, also known as the All-Father, is the main antagonist of the Norse Era of the God of War video game franchise, serving as the unseen overarching antagonist of the 2018 video game God of War and the main antagonist of its 2022 sequel God of War Ragnarök.
Baldur is sent by Odin to find to investigate a lone home in the Wildwoods, which is the start of the game. While it is thought initially that Baldur's target is Kratos for being a god from another land, it is revealed that Baldur is seeking a giant living in Midgard.
Baldur's final word, "snow", might have a dual meaning. It can either mean that Baldur has one last happiness by feeling the snow once more or that Baldur is happy to know that, despise his death, Kratos, Atreus and Freya will all suffer during Ragnarok.
Ares, the original god of war, unless Kratos unseats him off of his throne and title. This was no easy feat and his boss fight is a testament to that. The battle between Ares and Kratos is one of the first truest combats between two gods.
He's killed 19 Full blooded Gods.
You can't level up endlessly in God of War Ragnarok, though. Eventually, you'll hit a level cap on both your gear and Kratos himself. The level cap in God of War Ragnarok is level 9 - this applies to weapons, armour, and Kratos.
