TheGod of Warvideo game series is loosely based on Greek and Norse mythology.
Many of the gods were introduced early in the series and recur throughout many games.
How do the God of War games play out chronologically?
Let’s find out.
Although inconsistent with Greek and Norse mythology at times, Kratos' hatred for gods evolves throughout the story.
Stabbed through the chest with a weapon forged by gods, Ares finally perishes.
Now, the new God of War, Kratos, is considered a god with extraordinary abilities.
Clotho fights Kratos individually and ends up with a blade passing through her skull.
However, Athena tries to stop Kratos from fighting Zeus for save Olympus.
In a struggle where she tries to grasp Kratos' blade, Kratos accidentally impales her.
Kratos exclaims, “Why do you sacrifice yourself?”
and she responds in a noble manner with “To save Olympus.”
Persephone, however, joined Hades as the Queen of the Underworld.
The fight between Kratos and Persephone is an epic battle.
It takes place at the end of God of War: Chains of Olympus as the final boss fight.
Persephone uses flight for enhanced maneuvering and conjures sizable rocks to hurl at Kratos.
The battle concludes with Kratos pulverizing Persephone to death using the Gauntlet of Zeus.
In fact, he is the first boss you fight in the game.
Being the God of the Sea, Poseidon carries with him a plethora of devastating powers and abilities.
His boss battle version also has horses, animals he created.
However, the battle isn’t nearly as wild as the one Kratos had with Ares.
Though redesigned after the first game, all iterations of Hades terrify and intimidate.
There are also other differences, such as the way he fights Kratos in the game.
For starters, Hades is obsessed with trying to steal Kratos' soul in the games.
Does this mean Kratos is also technically the God of the Underworld?
He might not look like much, but Helios is one of the most powerful gods in existence.
The death of Helios was a brutal one, and you control Kratos throughout the ordeal.
You tear Helios' head off of his body entirely.
Helios screams in agony after his head is detached from his body.
He proves to be the fastest one, making Kratos run in circles.
However, Kratos is a general and knows what he’s doing.
He hits Hermes with a catapult, hindering him and making him slow enough for a proper fight.
Kratos kills him after such an attempt, first by electrocuting him and then impaling him through the heart.
In traditional Greek mythology, Hera is Zeus' jealous wife.
Truly well-written characters will take you on a storytelling journey you never thought possible.
We list those who stand out as the best.
While in a drunken stupor, Hera makes a fatal mistake by calling Pandora “that little whore.”
In a blinding rage, Kratos snaps Hera’s neck so she may never speak again.
That’s a grim ending for a goddess that fans didn’t really get to know at all.
