Athena then strikes a deal with Kratos: Kill Ares, and she’ll strip him of the memories which have broken him. Which works well enough until Kratos gets fed up with serving the gods, due to the fact that he still suffers from the nightmares that he wishes to rid himself of. Persephone soon falls, Atlas is chained to the Pillar of the World and Kratos spends the next decade serving Athena. Tasked with stopping the queen of the dead and the Greek god Atlas, Kratos is forced to forsake his family in the underworld so that all life can be saved. Slightly peeved that she rules over a kingdom of the dead in her forced marriage to the god of the underworld, Persephone plots to disrupt the balance of the world by destroying the pillar that supports all life. Kratos’ first mission finds him tangling with the wife of Hades, Persephone. Now deadset on removing these memories once again, Kratos pledges his loyalty to Athena as he embarks on a quest to topple the Greek Pantheon. With the death of the gentle oath-keeper, Kratos finally uncovers his true memories, plunging into despair as he remembers with vivid detail how he murdered his family. To do just that, Kratos is tasked with killing not only the Furies but also Orkos. Giving Kratos a mission to find the Oracle of Delphi and rediscover his true memories. Hunted down and captured by the trio of Furies, Katos finds his mind tampered with and his memories altered when he encounters the Orkos the keeper of oaths. Right, so Ares wasn’t too pleased with Kratos renouncing his name and then decided to unleash the power of the Furies on him. But Ares would not forgive God of War Ascension Furious and hellbent on revenge, Kratos would renounce his loyalty to Ares and embark on a quest to slay the war god. Tricked by Ares who wished to sever all Earthly attachments from his chosen avatar, Kratos found himself cursed and forced to wear the ashes of his slain family. UNTIL ONE DAY! Slaughtering his way through a village of Athena’s followers, Kratos awakens from his blood rage to discover that he has done the unthinkable: He has murdered his wife and daughter. It sounds like a bargain deal, as Kratos serves Ares and starts a new campaign of war in servitude to the god. Obliging the bloodthirsty warrior, Ares wipes the battlefield clean of enemies and binds the blades of Chaos to Kratos. Outnumbered and about to be slain by the superior Barbarian hordes of General Alrik, Spartan warrior Kratos strikes a deal with the Greek god of war Ares:ĪRES! DESTROY MY ENEMIES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS! The beginningĪn ancient battlefield, drenched in the blood of thousands. If you needed a quick refresher course on God of War ahead of his return to PlayStation, then buckle up and wrap the chains of chaos around your arms as we descend into the underworld history of one the most savage heroes in video game history. Just who is Kratos? Why is his skin paler than a Batman villain? Just where did he get that magnificent beard from?Īt least two of those questions will be answered below, in a condensed summary of the infamous Ghost of Sparta. This year’s God of War may be a fresh start for the series that made deicide popular, but it’s a game that still has plenty of history attached to it even if it doesn’t explicitly mention it.
