Draugr is the enemy Kratos encounters most in the story of God of War, according to Nordic myths, these are undead rotting wandering on the ground and attacking anyone they encounter. The Dragoons in God of War are of the same type, but are in the same shape as the warriors in their lives, with torn armor, decaying bodies and characteristic reddening eyes.

• Draugrs do not belong to any factions and appear everywhere in the Nine Worlds but most in Midgar, it is important to distinguish Draugr from the Reaver - often the Draugr will represent the fire attribute in game, suffered the most from Leviathan.*

draugr in the story

After coming out of the forest, Kratos and Atreus meet an annoying dwarf who is stuck on a hanging bridge with his belongings. This mouthful is Brok, a dwarf blacksmith, and one of them. The Leviathan that Kratos is using is the Leviathan. Brok recognized his work and offered to upgrade the Leviathan ax to Kratos, the evil dwarf, and another brother who helped create the ax called Sindri. everyone has gone long.

In the story of God of War, the Brok and Sindir blacksmiths are called the Huldra Brothers, they are the great blacksmiths in the Nine Worlds. Besides the Leviathan, Huldra also made Thor's Mjolnir hammer. and many other toys for Odin.

the blacksmith for a lot of things

Farewell Brok, father and son Kratos continue the journey and lost in a rugged mountain when Atreus chasing a wild boar. Here Kratos and Atreus meet a mysterious sorcerer who protects the wild pig, who blames the two for wanting to kill the creature if not for survival. Eventually the sorcerer decides to lead his father Kratos to his home, as well as the two rescue the pig severely injured by the arrow of Atreus.

The sorceress's residence lies secretly in an area underneath a giant tortoise, a strange thing about it that has a climate like spring in the sunshine, unlike the cold snow outside. After chasing Atreus away by telling the boy to look for the medicine, she says she knows Kratos is a god, a non-partisan alien, as well as the mysterious identity of Atreus himself. do not know too.

The sorcerer warns Kratos about the difficulties that will be encountered, as the gods soon find their way to their father and son. Kratos has denied these warnings and said that it was not her concern, but the sorceress was still helping her father and son by offering a spell that would hide their whereabouts and open them. Take a clear path through the boat to make the journey more comfortable.

mysterious witch

Leaving the mysterious sorcerer's house, Kratos and Atreus find the underground passageway with a boat ready. This path leads to a huge lake, while not knowing what to do next, then Atreus accidentally read an ancient line on the statue in the middle of the lake, with content that implies who wants to open the way forward. To sacrifice a weapon in hand. Since the Leviathan can be summoned from anywhere, Kratos threw it in the middle of the lake.

This action of Kratos seems to have touched the creature lying under the lake and made it rise, a giant serpent appeared in front of their father and son but fortunately it was not malicious, The snake also tries to communicate with those who have awakened themselves. Unfortunately, both Kratos and Atreus do not understand what the ancients say.

Atreus recognizes this as Jormungand, the giant creature of the entire Nine Dynasty, by the rising of the lake below, revealing the statue of Thor and, most importantly, Giant gold in the middle of the lake.

In the Norse mythology, Jormungand is a giant snake - so large that its head and tail can surround a circle around the world. Jormungand is Loki's son, a symbol of disaster and a strong tide that can engulf anything. At the Ragnarok event, Jormungand finally got up and made the heavens wobble, each of its breaths lurking in venom, each time its movement caused the sea to rise and release the Naglfar. giant floods to destroy the world.

Jormungand's image is often associated with Thor, and during the Ragnarok event they both fought fiercely and finally Thor killed Jormungand, but the god also fell after nine steps by venom. of this beast.

In the story of God of War, Jormungand is more gentle and friendly, it is the last in his species and speaks a little ancient language. Jormungand is said to be able to go back in time, as it has since returned to its birth and witnessed the end of Ragnarok. Jormungand sees Kratos as his "past" version, but the snake has no way of telling others the result of Ragnarok because no one knows what it is.

Kratos and Atreus anchored the boat into the temple, realizing that this was an abandoned place connected to the mountain they wanted to visit. In a way that the blacksmith Brok is here, Brok gives Kratos father and son a very valuable gift, which is the stone that opens up the gate to the branch of the god Yggdrasil. , which allows the possessor to be able to switch off through different spatial dimensions, provided that there is a corresponding portal.

After receiving the portal stone from Brok, Kratos continues to climb the mountain through the large door of the deserted temple. This time they continue to face another dwarf blacksmith, Sindri - brother of Brok and one of the two forging the Leviathan ax. After a short talk, Sindri agrees to upgrade the Leviathan ax as a kind of repayment to Krishos' wife, Faye. However, the dwarf appears to be extremely upset because Brok has already touched his forehand.

blacksmith Sindri

On the way up the mountain, the father and son recognize the architecture they encountered on the road built by the Giants - a race that has been drained from the Nine Worlds for a long time, but it is not clear what they were created for. When they reached the halfway line, they were blocked by a black dew that made it impossible to move on.

While wondering, the mysterious sorceress reappears, saying that the black mist is a curse and only a pure stream of light from Alfheim can purify it. Sorcerer suggested Kratos return to the deserted temple, then explained that this place was the temple of Tyr, built with the help of the giants and the passage between the Nine kingdoms.

Since the temple was severely damaged, the sorceress instructed Kratos to go down and reassemble its gears so that the bridges between the gates could resume operation. After Kratos had finished, the sorceress led the two of them into the room behind the temple, which was the only place in the world that could help the user navigate between the Nine Worlds. The witch gives Kratos the key to Bifrost, which re-activates the portal.

abandoned temple

Here we speak a little bit about this translucent room as well as the Nine in the God of War story, according to the Norse mythology, the world was created on the trunk of Yggdrasil, its roots radiating out. Many branches and connect the Nine world together. Human world - Midgard is located in the center, surrounded by dwarf worlds, giants, elves and gods.

The plot of God of War follows quite a mythological origin, especially the simulated Nine-Tails and Yggdrasil goddess, in which the Nine-Tails in the game is described as nearly as original as:

Midgard: A place where people live, located in the center of the world, this is the starting point of God of War.

Niflheim: Land of poison gas and fog, it is so poisonous that even the gods can not survive here for so long.

Helheim: *A land of eternal glaciers, the hells of Nordic mythology, where souls after death gather.

Muspelheim: Land of fire and lava, the abode of the giant Surt - the enemy of the gods.

Asgard:* The residence of the gods and the seat of the Valhalla shrine - where the bravest warriors after death are honored.*

Vanaheim: *It is also home to the gods, but unlike Asgard, Vanaheim is the home of the Vanir - ancient gods who support fertility, riches and talents.

Svartalfheim: The Dark Elf, in contrast to the Light Elf, the Dark Elf hates sunlight. In the story of God of War, the two species are fighting each other.

Alfheim: The place of the Light Elves, where there is always light.

Jotunheim: The home of the Giants called Jotun, in the God of War storyline, the nearest to the time the giant clan has almost disappeared from the Nine World.

There are three unreachable Kratos worlds, Vanaheim, Svartalfheim, and Asgard. The reason for this is that they have been blocked by Odin, the rest of the world is unlocked by plotting or by taking the ancient rune. In the story of God of War, it is only a glimpse of the forbidden worlds, most likely to appear in later games.

land of fire
After Kratos and the Bifrost key open the door to Alfheim, the Bifrost key is also drained of energy and the only way to recharge it is to expose it to pure beam from Alfheim, so the current Kratos Considered as being stuck in this world. As soon as he had stepped out of the door, the sorcerer had been forced by some unspoken force to stop him from entering Alfheim, so the next itinerary was entirely his father Kratos's.
