In Scandinavian mythology, Ragnarök is a series of events and catastrophes that will ultimately lead to the end of the world. Ragnarök culminates in a final battle between the gods and the demons and giants, ending in the death of the gods.
The ending of God of War Ragnarok concludes the end of the Norse saga in that yes, Ragnarok does in fact come, Asgard is destroyed and characters like Odin and Thor are dead, albeit not butchered by Kratos like the Greek pantheon were. Thor is killed by Odin for disobeying his orders.
Surviving gods
Hoenir, Magni, Modi, Njord, Vidar, Vali, and the daughter of Sol are all stated to survive Ragnarok.
Fenrir swallows Odin, though immediately afterwards his son Víðarr kicks his foot into Fenrir's lower jaw, grips the upper jaw, and rips apart Fenrir's mouth, killing the great wolf. Loki fights Heimdallr and the two kill each other. Surtr covers the earth in fire, causing the entire world to burn.
In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is the end of days. It's the apocalyptic moment when the entire cosmos, including the gods, will be destroyed. Its meaning in Old Norse couldn't be more apt, literally translating as 'Fate of the Gods'.
Thor drops his hammer and says he won't be Odin's killing machine anymore -- which prompts Odin to fatally impale Thor, his son, with a spear. Odin gets very stabby at Ragnarok's end. That kicks off the final battle against Odin, a two-part boss fight in which Kratos, Atreus and Freya are victorious.
Even though they are enemies, Saxa has a lot of sexual attraction towards Magne, culminating in them sleeping together in the later half of season 2. She has a lot of belligerent sexual tension with Magne.
There is a reflection of Kratos within Thor, one that does not see the righteous path until it is too late. Thor is killed by Odin after refusing to do what his father ordered. Thor decides to stand up for himself, and in doing so, is stabbed and killed by Odin in God of War: Ragnarok.
Like almost all of the Norse gods, Thor is doomed to die at Ragnarök, the end of the world and twilight of the gods, but falls only after killing the great serpent with his powerful hammer Mjollnir, dying to its poison; his sons Magni and Modi survive Ragnarök along with a small number of other gods and inherit his ...
Is Brok gone forever? With his soul incomplete, there is no way of bringing Brok back or even an afterlife for him. Truly a bittersweet ending for a character who grew on us throughout our journey towards Ragnarok. Sindri takes Brok's lifeless body with him and leaves the house.
long story short, yes, God of War Ragnarök does have a secret ending. To get the secret ending in God of War Ragnarök, after the final battle, you need to return to Sindri's House (the magical inter-dimensional hub that Kratos has called home throughout the game).
In Norse mythology, Lif and Lifthrasir (also spelled Life and Leifthrasir) were two people designated to be the sole human survivors after Ragnarok, the battle at the end of the world. In the battle of Ragnarok, all the gods were doomed to be destroyed, but the forces of evil would also be killed.
Thor kills Jörmungandr but succumbs to the serpent's poison after taking only nine steps after the battle and falls dead. Loki and the god Heimdall kill each other, Freyr is killed by Surtr, Týr and Garmr wind up killing each other, and the gods Mani and Solveig are slain by Sköll and Hati.
God of War Ragnarok is a multi-dimensional game. It doesn't just have one ending. There is a second ending to the game that you can access right after completing the main ending. In the secret ending, you get to witness Brok's funeral and pay your respects to him before his body is set alight at sea.
The young Jotnar took the father and son to one final hidden Jotnar prophecy. Faye hid this one before the events of God of War Ragnarok so that Atreus would not know his real fate. They wound up making their own path, writing their own story. Atreus made the tough decision to say goodbye and find his own path.
In the aftermath, Atreus finds Freya in Midgard, who thanks him for his actions and accepts him as part of her family, giving him back his necklace as a sign of his warrior spirit. After Kratos and Atreus separate, she and Mimir agree to help him in rebuilding the Nine Realms in the aftermath of Ragnarök.
Inheritors of Mjolnir
Both Magni and Modi could wield the legendary Mjolnir, their father Thor's hammer. It was foretold by the giant Vafþrúðnir to Odin that Magni and Modi would survive the Ragnarok that would spell the end of gods and men.
Loki and Heimdall kill each other
The rivalry comes to a head in Ragnarok when Heimdall kills Loki. Loki manages to kill Heimdall right back, a lot of mutual killing goes on at Ragnarok. Still, that's one fight I would love to see, whether in seal or in human form.
Loki has always delighted in cheating death, manipulating others into believing he was dead in order to hatch his next scheme. At the end of Thor, he apparently took his own life — but Loki survived death by plunging into one of the many portals he knew could be found in Yggdrasil.
Magni is subsequently killed by Kratos later in a battle, with Modi fleeing. Modi is later beaten by an enraged Thor for allowing his brother to perish, and is later killed by Kratos' son Atreus. In the 2022 sequel God of War Ragnarök Thor pursues Kratos to avenge Magni.
It is implied that much like Zeus, he has an intense fear of Kratos. Unlike the Olympian, however, Odin's fear was tempered by his knowledge of Kratos' power, not only being aware of the fate of the Greek pantheon, but also of him having faced and killed Modi, Magni, and Baldur.
Odin, the god of wisdom, death, battle magic and more is neither entirely good nor is he fully evil in Norse mythology. Odin is a warmonger and as such a bringer of death on the battlefield. In contrast, Odin created the first humans from which all life was on Midgard (Earth).
Járnsaxa (/jɑːrnˈsæksə/; Old Norse: [ˈjɑːrnˌsɑksɑ], "iron dagger") is a jötunn in Norse mythology. In Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, she is portrayed as Thor's lover and as the mother of Magni, a three-year-old boy with prodigious force.
In Norse mythology, Magni is the prodigious son of the Aesir god Thor and his lover, the jötunn Járnsaxa. Through his father he is the elder half-brother of Móði (referred to in game as "Modi") and Þrúðr (referred to in dialogue as "Thrud"), and through his mother is the half-brother of Heimdallr.
Think of Netflix's Ragnarok as a modern day retelling of the mythological story of Magne and Ragnarok. Instead of being Thor's son, Magne is a powerful teenager who uses his special abilities to fight the Jutul family and save Edda from destruction.
