Kratos in God of War is known as The Ghost of Sparta, is the main protagonist in the game. Do you know him well enough? Let’s discover more!
God of War Ragnarök is currently in development for a 2022 release on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Kratos also appears as the protagonist of the 2010 and 2018 comic series, as well as three novels that retell the events of three of the games.
He is a power-hungry Spartan saving his life but eventually forced to serve the Olympian god Ares. In a murderous rampage, Kratos accidentally killed his wife and child.
Kratos renounced Ares, became a tormented soul, and served the gods for ten years in hopes of becoming free of the nightmares. He eventually killed Ares and became the God of War, but was betrayed by his father, Zeus.
He attempted to free himself from the influence of the gods and Titans, culminating in a final confrontation with Zeus, ending in the god’s death and the reign of the Olympian Gods.
In the afterlife, Athena appeared and Kratos sacrificed himself to prevent her from becoming the supreme goddess of the world.
He is a god to Atreus.
Many years later, surviving his fatal sacrifice, Kratos now lives in the world of the Norse gods in Midgard where he now has a son in the name of Atreus.
Following the death of his second wife Faye, he and Atreus journey to the highest peak of the nine realms to live up to her promise and spread her ashes there.
During their journey, Kratos eventually reveals that he is a god to Atreus, and after defeating Baldur and in turn becoming an enemy of the Norse gods, he finally reveals his troubled past to his son and that they should learn from past mistakes.
However, in God of War (2018), Kratos does age physically, although at a slower rate than a mortal.
This does not prevent his body from being physically wounded, although most wounds that would kill a mortal man are much less fatal to him.
Some impressive feats of Kratos include using his bare hands and raw strength to prevent the Titans Atlas and Cronos from crushing him, managing to wrestle and subdue many large and powerful beasts.
When fighting against Hercules, Kratos was capable of stopping his charges, forcing him back and enduring his powerful bear-hugs without any ill-effects.
In Norway, Kratos could push the 1 million ton bridge surrounding Tyr’s Temple with little to no effort. What a surprise!
He is very good at climbing mountains and buildings, jumping at great heights, and swinging over a big gap.
Also, he is capable of withstanding falls from great heights and walking away unharmed, getting crushed, stabbed, beaten, blasted, and burned by various enemies and traps without any damages.
This factor allows him to heal & regenerate from injuries at a fast rate. Although he can rapidly heal from injuries caused by godly weapons, there was a scar left on his body. Due to his regenerative healing factor, he can resist attacks and regenerate even being impaled by the Blade of Olympus.
Kratos is very fast, with speed of lightning.
His speed is the major factor in his victories, as shown by how he used his superior speed to kill Magni before his reaction.
This is further improved when he gained Boots of Hermes, Although he is physically slower than Baldur, his reflexes and reaction speed are enough to block his attacks.
In addition, he has the innate ability to absorb any power from any beings he has killed, which gives him more powers used on his quests.
Kratos gains a higher level of intelligence, being able to solve complex puzzles created by some of the best Greek architects.
His wisdom has carried over in the Norse era, solving several problems in ancient ruins and temples during his journey.
He has done what most in the Greek and Norse pantheon have considered impossible, such as killing a god, obtaining Pandora’s box, escaping from the Underworld, changing his fate, and killing Zeus.
This helps him to break free from the Furies’ illusions, stop Hades from ripping his soul, and resist Aphrodite’s seduction. Kratos’ will is deeply thrived from his need for vengeance, never giving up until killing those who wronged him.
In general, Kratos’ years of training made him a dangerous fighter in both armed and unarmed combat, he is particularly excellent at wrestling and close combat, using his high physical prowess and Spartan technique to make up for his lack of superhuman powers that other gods possess.
He is a master of using Hammer, Axe, chain and shield, too.
His age did not affect his skill at all, allowing him to hunt monsters and proved capable of overpowering the likes of Magni and Baldur in battle.
Also, He is a master of using Hammer, Axe, chain and shield, too.
He lusted for vengeance, which has made him reckless, destructive, and negligent.
His vengeance made his mind or reasoning lull, as he killed innocent people or destroyed numerous cities.
This weakness was against him, such as being a pawn of Gaia to get her revenge on the Olympians, a pawn of Athena’s plan to become queen following Zeus’ death, or being easily provoked by Zeus when he was taunted.
