Telling his sons he loved them, Odin finally died and his spirit ascended to Valhalla. Upon his death, Hela was finally freed from her banishment.
Due to his exile by Loki, Odin's power had been slowly draining, so after telling Thor that he loved him, Odin died in a manner fitting a god: his disintegrated into pure energy (the Odinforce) and entered Valhalla.
Contrary to popular belief, entering Vahalla has not necessarily required individuals to die in battle. Odin died peacefully in Thor: Ragnarok and was still able to ascend to Valhalla.
With Odin not technically dead, as his soul is trapped inside Atreus' marble, Kratos hands it over to Freya, explaining that he would never rob her of the choice between life and death again, leaving Odin's fate in Freya's hands. No longer needing Odin's death to make her whole, she hands the marble back to Atreus.
Another theme found in the myths of Odin is the inability to escape destiny—the notion that future events have already been determined and cannot be changed. Odin gains the ability to see the future and knows that he and the other gods of the Aesir will die at Ragnarok, but nothing he can do will change that fate.
Moreover, Mimir had warned Kratos time and again about Odin's treachery. Thus, Kratos decided that it was in their best interests to not get into any kind of agreement with Odin, having had his fair share of ill experiences with other gods.
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.
Odin is the final boss fight in God of War: Ragnarok's story. It's a challenging boss fight, but one that ends in the resolution of the All-Father's demise. Atreus shows his compassion as he places Odin's soul into a marble.
The gods fail and most are killed, including Odin, Thor, Tyr, and Heimdall, but order is preserved, and a new world emerges from the destruction of the old.
Kratos discovers that the shrine has another side. He takes a look, and finds a recap of his own recent history — he sees himself leaving the Greek pantheon behind and raising a son in the Norse universe instead.
It's revealed by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) that only those who die on the battlefield can go to Valhalla. As he stands over Sif, a fellow Asgardian warrior, he tells her that she must die...
With the axe unequipped, Odin loses his control over Eivor.
Valhalla players need only to run towards Sigurd, to end this fight and trigger a cutscene.
If you are talking about movies, Old Odin can be defeated by Surtur, Dormammu, Hela, Strange, Ancient One and IW Thanos. But Odin in his prime was undefeated, unchallenged throughout the nine realms and beyond. This is been confirmed by Hela, Loki, Frigga, Laufey and Thor.
After the gods were killed in Ragnarok, Thor set out to restore them to life... all except for Odin, who the God of Thunder decided not to resurrect. While Thor may always have honored Odin as the ruler of Asgard, the All-Father was also the one god Thor didn't want to resurrect following Ragnarok.
The Æsir gods Höðr and Balder, who had previously died and gone to Hel, are resurrected after the events of Ragnarök. It is prophesied that the Vanir god Njörðr, another Æsir hostage after the Æsir-Vanir War, will return 'home among the wise Vanir'.
Every ninth year there is a blót of nine days, a common feast for everyone in Sweden. Then they sacrifice nine males of each species, even men, and the bodies are hung from the branches of a grove near the temple. No one is exempt from this blót and everyone sends gifts to the shrine, even the kings.
Surviving gods
Hoenir, Magni, Modi, Njord, Vidar, Vali, and the daughter of Sol are all stated to survive Ragnarok.
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.
Wotan Wagner (portrayed by Bjørn Sundquist) is a recurring character in the Netflix Original Series Ragnarok. He is the reincarnation of Odin, the King of the Gods, and he and Magne lead the other Gods in the fight against the giants who are destroying the world. He is also Magne's new father figure in the series.
Who is older, Zeus or Odin? Since Odin is credited with having a hand in creating the world itself, it is safe to say that he is older than Zeus. However, the first written accounts of Zeus are much earlier than the first ones we have of Odin.
Odin's self-sacrifice
He sacrificed his eye in Mimir's well and he threw himself on his spear Gungnir in a kind of symbolic, ritual suicide. He then hanged himself in Yggdrasil, the tree of life, for nine days and nine nights in order to gain knowledge of other worlds and be able to understand the runes.
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.
Loki – Thor's archenemy and adoptive brother. The son of Laufey, ruler of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, one of the "Nine Worlds" of the Asgardian cosmology. He is a master of spellcasting and trickery.
Based on the analysis of powers, speed, strength, durability, and combat, we can safely say that Odin is stronger than Thanos and outmatches him in almost every aspect. Thanos might be among the most feared villains in the Marvel Universe, but he comes nowhere near when compared to All-Father Odin.
Before the creation of the world, Búri, the forefather of the gods, appeared out of the ice, and his son Borr and the giant-daughter Bestla sired Odin and his brothers (usually named Vili and Vé).
