God of War 5 Ragnarok - THOR Vs Kratos Boss Fight

God of War Ragnarök is a 2022 action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released worldwide on November 9, 2022, for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, marking the first cross-generation release in the God of War series, and was released for Windows on September 19, 2024. It is the ninth installment in the series, the ninth chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game is set in ancient Scandinavia and features series protagonist, Kratos, and his now teenage son, Atreus. Concluding the Norse era of the series, the story follows Kratos and Atreus' efforts to prevent the nine realms from being destroyed by Ragnarök, the eschatological event which is central to Norse mythology and was foretold to happen in the previous game after Kratos killed the Aesir god Baldur. The gameplay is similar to the previous 2018 installment. It features combo-based combat, as well as puzzle and role-playing elements. Improvements and additions include Kratos's main weapons: a magical battle axe and his double-chained blades, and a new magical spear; his shield has become more versatile, with different types of shields that have differing offensive and defensive abilities. His son Atreus, as well as some other characters, provide assistance in combat and can be passively controlled, though as a new feature in the series, Atreus is fully controllable in specific story segments. Thor (Old Norse: Þórr, Nordic: ᚦᛟᚱ), also known as Thor Odinson (Translation: Thor, son of Odin) was the Norse Aesir God of Thunder, Lightning, Storms, Wrestling, Strength, Consecration, the Sky, War, Hallowing and the Champion of the Aesir. Head of a family of strong warriors, he was the son of Odin and Fjörgyn and step-son of Frigg, nephew of Vili and Vé, husband of Sif, older half-brother of Baldur, as well as the father of Magni, Modi and Thrúd. First born of Odin, Thor grew up in a violent environment and was raised in fear and obedience of the All-Father, who destined him to become the figurehead of the Aesir family as well as his primary enforcer. Hatred of the Giants was instilled in him, yet another part of Odin's plan to break his son's spirit and make it more malleable. Following his mother's death, Thor progressively rejected his maternal heritage and fully embraced his destiny as the Champion of the Aesir. After being bestowed Mjölnir, the half-giant-half-God Thor made a name for himself for the infamous genocide he committed across the Nine Realms against the Jötnar, a race he hated with a passion. This hatred reached its climax when the Aesir confronted the gigantic Jörmungandr in Midgard in a brutal slugging match. Destined to kill the World Serpent during Ragnarök, Thor was widely considered as the most powerful of Odin's sons and the infamous symbol of the Aesir's rampage. Serving as Odin's right-hand and primary henchmen, he was typically sent as the All-Father's envoy when intimidation was required. Thor is introduced for the first time in God of War (2018), where he makes a cameo appearance in the secret ending. Although Thor is never met in person, he is often mentioned throughout the journey by the main protagonists and various characters, which further emphasizes his particular importance across the Nine Realms. His life took an even darker turn when he suddenly lost his sons at the hands of Kratos and Atreus, making him more miserable than ever and prompt to fall back in his old ways. Following the onset of Fimbulwinter, Thor was tasked by Odin to come with him negotiate with Kratos, hoping to cut a deal with the Spartan with the goal of preventing Ragnarök.
