God Of War Ragnarok :) Main Story Part I In Midgard, three years after Fimbulwinter began, as Kratos and Atreus were returning home after a hunt, they were attacked by Freya, who then failed to kill Kratos. When the duo reach their home, Fenrir, one of their wolves, is close to dying; Atreus recites a funerary chant before asking his father to let him grieve for and bury the wolf. Kratos accepts and falls asleep at the house. Kratos dreams about his beloved wife, Faye but is awoken by Mimir, who is worried since Atreus hasn't returned home from burying Fenrir. While searching for his son, Kratos and Mimir are attacked by a bear named Bjorn. Kratos strangles the bear until it shape-shifts back to Atreus, who suddenly developed his bear powers from his intense emotions. Atreus and Kratos argue about the former's intent to learn more his "Loki" identity before returning home again. While both father and son were asleep, they were awoken by Thor, the God of Thunder, who asks to talk with Kratos. Odin, the King of Asgard, follows soon after, and makes an offer to the God of War: in exchange for him and Atreus not antagonizing the Aesir Gods, Odin and Thor would also not do the same, in order to maintain peace. After they reveal that Atreus has been secretly searching for Týr, the apparently dead Nordic God of War, and after Mimir chastises Odin, Kratos coldly refuses the deal. Odin allows Thor to assault Kratos as retribution for killing Baldur, Magni, and Modi. Kratos dies from head trauma but is revived by Thor, who repeatedly tries to goad Kratos' rage so he can see the "Ghost of Sparta". When Thor boasts of Odin's "plans" for Atreus, Kratos punches Thor with his full might, and the satisfied God of Thunder departs, claiming "[I'll] be seeing 'ya". Brok and Sindri encounter a wounded Kratos, who asks them for help going back to his home since Odin is still with Atreus and Mimir. Deducing that Kratos' magical protection stave is broken, Brok offers him, his son, and the head refuge in Sindri's house. Returning home, Kratos is relieved to find Atreus safe, but is angered by how the boy hid the fact that he was researching on Tyr and Loki on his own. However, seeing that this path helps in ensuring safety for Atreus, Kratos accompanies him to Sköll and Hati's Jötunn mural, which actually has a secret room inside that reveals the real fate of the two Giant wolves. The mural and Atreus' secret explorations hint in Kratos, him, and Mimir having to go to Svartalfheim, the Realm of the Dwarves, to free Týr, who is potentially still alive. After Sindri leads the trio to his home in the Realm Between Realms, he, Brok, and Mimir modifies their Bifröst Lamp for a travel door as a new (and only way) of Realm travel. The Huldra Brothers, after learning of the trio's plans to explore Svartalfheim to find and free Týr, suggests that they go to Niðavellir, the realm's capital city, to find a government official and ex-rebel Durlin. In the Dwarf's Realm, after Durlin finds out that his former disgraced comrade and Kratos' wife, Faye, has already passed away, he secretly gives Atreus directions to the Jarnsmida Pitmines to find Týr. Týr turns out to be alive, but has developed poor mental health and has made a vow against violence after years of torture. After Kratos yells at him to join the group, Týr tags along, not as a soldier but at least as someone with information. They all return to Sindri's house.
