Entering a dark, circular room, Kratos and Atreus come face-to-face with a wooden mural, much like the ones they've seen throughout their journeys through the Nine Realms. Opening up the mural, the two see paintings of Faye -- Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother -- who seems to be fighting against her own people.
Once Kratos is by himself, he walks behind the mural to discover another side to it. He opens the doors to see his battles with Thor and Odin during Ragnarök, with the final section showing a gilded Kratos being worshiped and the once-stoic Ghost of Sparta is visibly emotional. It's a real tear-jerker of a moment.
At the end of the 2018 title, in Jotunheim, Kratos sees a mural on a wall that depicts what looks like him dying with his head in Atreus' lap, with something escaping through his mouth along with his final breath.
A mural, that shows their past, present, and future, all playing out at once. From the first time Kratos and Atreus met The World Serpent, to their fight with Baldur -- Atreus entire life is displayed on the wall. Faye was a Giant, meaning that Atreus is part Greek God, and part Giant.
At the end of 2018's God of War, Kratos saw a prediction of his own death, something Atreus also finds out in the new game and works tirelessly to prevent. Much of Ragnarok's themes revolve around Kratos and Atreus' complex relationship and Kratos learning to trust his son and allow him to be his own man.
This final mural has a pretty clear interpretation, that Kratos has finally been redeemed, and that he'll be revered by mortals for the god he is. Upon seeing this final panel, Kratos gets immediately emotional, clearly overwhelmed with the feeling that he's finally done something worthy of his title.
The previous God of War ended with Kratos seeing a Giant's prophecy that he would die at Ragnarok. Kratos scoffs at such predictions, and says that we make our own fate. Just to be sure, however, Kratos, Faye and Mimir visit the Norns, the masters of fate.
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.
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.
Years later, Kratos visited his mother and attempted to discover the identity of his anonymous father. Before she could reveal to him who his father was, she changed into a horrific monster. Driving his blade through his once mother, with her last breath Kratos is told his father was Zeus.
This final mural has a pretty clear interpretation, that Kratos has finally been redeemed, and that he'll be revered by mortals for the god he is. Upon seeing this final panel, Kratos gets immediately emotional, clearly overwhelmed with the feeling that he's finally done something worthy of his title.
A Viking Funeral is a Side Quest Favor in God of War Ragnarok that can only be unlocked after the completion of the main storyline. This side quest acts as the true ending to the game, as upon its completion, the screen will fade to black, and the final credits will roll.
Kratos discovers another set of prophecies on the other side of the shrine that Faye painted, in which she writes for him a path to something he has never imagined possible: to become a god that people appreciate and pray to.
Odin reveals himself as Tyr, the Norse god of war that he has been disguised as throughout the entire game. However, his appearance as Tyr is an illusion, rather than the possession of his entire body.
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. This giant turns out to be Faye, Kratos' wife, Atreus' mother, and one of the last living giants of Jotunheim.
Ragnarök, also known as Ragnarøkkr (Old Norse for Twilight of the Gods), is a major event first prophesied by the Jötunn Gróa that foresees the ultimate battle that results in the death of many gods, including Odin and Thor, as well as the "rebirth" of the world through submersion into water.
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.
Odin has pretty clearly been shown to be demonstrable more powerful than the other gods. Odin's Odinforce has far outstripped anything Zeus's magical lightning bolts have ever done.
Icelandic stories tell how the gods amused themselves by throwing objects at him, knowing that he was immune from harm. The blind god Höd, deceived by the evil Loki, killed Balder by hurling mistletoe, the only thing that could hurt him.
Believing she had done everything possible, Frigga neglected the lowly mistletoe. The gods rejoiced to know that Balder was invulnerable and invented a game in which everyone threw things at him. Loki was intensely jealous of Balder and resolved to destroy him.
Kratos did not intend to initiate Ragnarok when he killed Baldur; the Spartan was only trying to save Freya. However, Baldur's death sparked the beginning of the end for the Norse Gods, an event that the Jotunn Groa prophesied.
Athena is the number one person that Kratos did not mean to kill, and showed great regret upon doing so. When he met her in the Underworld, he seemed dearly sorry that he had impaled her. Also, she seemed to be the only god he would listen to, save Hephestaus.
However, Kratos did not kill all the gods, and there are close to a dozen Olympians that managed to survive Kratos' path of destruction.
None other than Athena herself. It seems that even when Fallen God concludes, Athena will still haunt Kratos. Perhaps the curse seen plaguing Kratos is not lifted by the time of the 2018 game, which is why she only appears in that game when he retrieves the Blades.
