The builder, suspecting the trick, protests and seeks retaliation. Loki lure’s the builder’s horse away by transforming into one himself and thus the builder is unable to carry the stones needed for the defenses himself and fails to finish, by just a few stones short. The Aesir, not wanting to fulfill their side, trick the builder. In return, he asks for Freya’s hand in marriage. He is given impossible time constraints but thanks to his magical horse, he makes surprisingly good progress.

In Norse mythology, there is the story of a master builder who is tasked with building Asgard’s defenses. As Atreus is set to play a larger role in the next God of War, perhaps his final fight will be in line with the mythology. It is Heimdall who will blow the Gjallarhorn to wake the gods at the start of Ragnarok. Another key player is Heimdall, Odin’s son and watcher of Asgard. In the story of Ragnarok, he fights in the great final battle, which I will detail later. He is only briefly mentioned in God of War emphasising his role in the Aesir-Vanir War and how he is a friend of the light elves of Alfheim. Frey, Freya’s brother, is another Vanir god and an expert in farming and nature. There are more gods that play a role in Ragnarok but have yet to be seen and have only ever been briefly mentioned in the games. Odin is cunning, manipulative, and determined and will surely be a formidable foe. Maybe he is first known by another name and even helps Kratos and Atreus, but then the truth could be revealed in a shocking twist. So perhaps in the game the first time we meet Odin we might not know it is him. Odin is known to travel the nine realms disguised as a tall, cloaked traveller. You can’t close out the Norse saga without Kratos coming up against the king of the gods. Odin has also been confirmed to feature in the game, although we have yet to see him. He defends Asgard and Midgard with his super-weapon Mjolnir – a hammer crafted by Brok and Sindri, with his magical belt, Megingjord, which doubles his strength. Thor Odinson is described as brutish, incredibly strong, and often shockingly violent, he often ends up murdering a bunch of giants as his temper gets the better of him. However, his look is very much accurate to the mythology. We do know that he will be in the game and his appearance has been revealed in a character poster, to some controversy. If any character is as famous as Odin, it is Thor, god of thunder.

This is one of the most significant events involving Tyr, so one would expect Tyr to lose his hand in some way in the events of God of War Ragnarok, fulfilling the mythology. This results in Tyr losing his hand due to the broken trust between the two. In the story of the giant wolf Fenrir, Loki’s son (which we’ll get into later), it is Tyr who helps to convince the wolf to allow the gods to bind him. He often works closely with him and the other god to solve problems. In mythology, Tyr is one of Odin closest advisors and friends. Tyrįirst up is the Norse god of War, Tyr. All of them have significant roles to play when Ragnarok comes. There are several characters from the mythology that are expected to be introduced in God of war Ragnarok, and other that might make an appearance.
