This video, "God of War Ragnarök dlc part 1 kratos past," details Kratos and Mimir's journey into Valhalla, a place that draws from the memories of those who enter. Here's a summary of the events: Entering Valhalla (0:51-3:01): Kratos and Mimir arrive at the black sand shore described in an invitation to a "challenge" in Valhalla. They experience an unsettling feeling upon entering, described as plunging into a dream. Initial Challenges and Valhalla's Nature (4:32-5:03): Kratos feels weaker upon entering, and they face unexpected foes, learning that the place offers choices. Freya's Role and Kratos's Avoidance (6:45-7:14): Mimir suggests Freya could have aided them, but Kratos admits he's avoiding her, a point Mimir emphasizes by mentioning Kratos went to Valhalla to avoid her. The Invitation and Freya's Warning (8:01-9:04): Freya confronts Kratos for breaching Valhalla, revealing that the entrance is secret and was only known to Odin and them. Kratos explains he found an invitation nailed to a door. Freya warns him that Valhalla draws from the memories of those who enter and that the threat of death is real if he doesn't play by its rules (25:47-26:00). Valhalla's Rules and Kratos's Past (11:57-12:55): Freya's sister explains that Valhalla's challenge is about mastering one's own powers and varying one's approach to combat to demonstrate full mastery.
