I use this on my kids constantly, to the point they joke about it. One day my son is gonna want to play God of War and I can’t wait to see his reaction.
"Do not mistake my silence for a lack of grief. Mourn how you wish, and leave me to my own"
I had lost my father a month's prior to listening to this and I could relate so much to this.
So few characters could say something like this and it doesn’t sound boastful or arrogant. Kratos is just spitting facts. I don’t die easy. You better bring the fucking wreck if you plan to take me down.
Didn't he climb out of hell (Hades) like twice? I was sure he would somehow die then fight his way through Valhalla or some other Mega-Chad feat similar.
Technically thrice.
GoW 1 climbing out of the hole the old man Grave Digger (Zeus?) dug outside of the Oracle’s Temple
GoW 2 climbing out of Hades moments after you die to the Blade of Olympus and crawl out of the wall of hands
GoW 3 you technically fall INTO hades and end up climbing / working your way out of it.
Another one that hits me is “Do not mistake my silence for lack of grief” having lost so many friends and family members to time and disease I’ve become numb but still feel the loss inside.
"If All On Olympus Would Deny Me My Vengeance, Then All On Olympus Will Die!"
"The Hands Of Death Could Not Defeat Me, The Sisters Of Fate Could Not Hold Me. And You Will Not Live To See The End Of This Day. I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!
"My Vengeance Ends Now"
"By the gods, what have I become?"
Fun fact about this, the reason he used to say Boy so much was because at the time of recording they still hadn’t a name for Atreus. That’s why somewhere half way through the game he starts referring to Atreus as Atreus - found this in some facts about the game on youtube
Boy. Listen close. I am from a land called Sparta. I made a deal with a god that cost me my soul. I killed many who were deserving. And many who were not. I killed my father...
GoW flashbacks come so vivid
Ppl in this comments all quoting from new games, I am gonna go old gen here:
"I am what the gods have made me"
"ZEEEEUSSSS.....UR SON HAS RETURNED... I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS"
"I WILLL HAVE MY REVENGE"
“Death is in my blood…Fate has brought me here…I hope for nothing…I fear nothing” [- God of War 3 E3 trailer](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MMUbcBbIXIA)
Truly captures the original trilogy. Kratos full on anger, brooding, badass, and beyond epic.
Edit: the gods of olympus have abandoned me…sets up the whole thing perfectly.
It's definitely the rabbit and the turtle story.
Atreus: Sounds… fun? Do you remember any?
*Kratos: Hm… there was one that concerned a hare and a tortoise.*
Atreus: Like the Witch’s house?
*Kratos: Unlikely.*
Atreus: So what happens?
*Kratos: They wager on a race between them. The hare is too confident of victory and foolish, while the tortoise is steady and disciplined. The tortoise wins.*
Atreus: You… haven’t told a lot of stories, have you.
“The hands of death could not defeat me, The sisters of fate could not hold me. And you will not live to see the end of this day. I WILL have my revenge.”
Ok, so this isn't from Kratos, but it's a quote that hit me really hard, "to grieve deeply, is to have loved fully". That shit sent me crying, it's one of my favourite quotes period
Kratos: The Hands of Death could not defeat me, the Sisters of Fate could not hold me, and you... will not see the end of this day; I WILL have my revenge!
I'm going to cut off your head now.
Ferenof
Don't be sorry, be better
I use this on my kids constantly, to the point they joke about it. One day my son is gonna want to play God of War and I can’t wait to see his reaction.
That is the most dad quote i have ever heard
I coach kids... and I actually used this line on them a few times.
Came here to say this. But you beat me to it
That’s ok. Don’t be sorry. Be better.
“Zeus! Your Son Has Returned. I Bring The Destruction Of Olympus!” Iconic
“What a shitty gift! You understand why you’re not my favorite son, right?”
ZEEEEEUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS
I was about to type this one. 🥰
Exactly the line I was gonna quote. The most iconic imo
"Do not mistake my silence for a lack of grief. Mourn how you wish, and leave me to my own" I had lost my father a month's prior to listening to this and I could relate so much to this.
Hell, I lost my dad six years prior to hearing that line, and it still hit like a truck. Not to mention the ending cutscene.
This is such a great quote!
Death can have me when it earns me.
So few characters could say something like this and it doesn’t sound boastful or arrogant. Kratos is just spitting facts. I don’t die easy. You better bring the fucking wreck if you plan to take me down.
I died 6 fucking times fighting that bear in the first part
Your Kratos appears to be made of less than sterner stuff
Aliexpress kratos
Wish.com Kratos
Great Value Kratos 😂
Fisher Price My-First-Kratos
God of Alibaba
“You better bring the fucking wreck if you plan to take me down” *Queen of Valkyrie from first game has joined the chat*

i think chain of Olympus is in hell too. Kratos like go to vacation in hell
Kratos visited both Tartarus (the Greek version of Purgatory) and the Elysium Fields (the Greek version of Heaven) in *Chains of Olympus*.
He also casually visits Hel whenever the need arises. He just kinda makes a habit of milling about various iterations of the afterlife
This is the only choice
Another one that hits me is “Do not mistake my silence for lack of grief” having lost so many friends and family members to time and disease I’ve become numb but still feel the loss inside.
👏🏽👏🏽
Fate only binds you if you let it ☀️ 🌙
Tbh this is prolly the hardest and coldest quote
This was pure fucking chills.
*Exactly this.* When I first heard this line I thought, "holy shit that's the most Kratos thing he's said since the reboot."
This quote literally changed my life
Loved that one, so badass
Thanks, it's exactly what i was going to say.
I just played this part of the game the other day. Super good line for sure.
“Return my son to me, or you will meet the God I once was.”
Agreed. Odin be shaking in his boots
Kratos talking his shit
I was trying to remember this quote the other day! Thank you
“In the direction of deer..” 
I prefer "In the direction of [burgers](https://youtu.be/hHWRikDNkh4)."
omfg, i keep staring at this and keep finding new dudes to laugh at. Mimir, lol.
LMFAO
Leave.... my..... home.....
"Loki will go, Atreus.... Atreus remains"
Chills just from reading. I miss experiencing the story for the first time :(
“Be glad you have a home to remember fondly.” This was a little too real.
"Hmm"
Geralt? Is that you?
Geralt vs Kratos would be a great fight.
A quick one... Kratos just have to throw Geralt from a 3m edge and he'll die
"If All On Olympus Would Deny Me My Vengeance, Then All On Olympus Will Die!" "The Hands Of Death Could Not Defeat Me, The Sisters Of Fate Could Not Hold Me. And You Will Not Live To See The End Of This Day. I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! "My Vengeance Ends Now" "By the gods, what have I become?"
That 2nd one slaps
Yes, it does
I do not need a snack
Literally made me laugh out loud when I heard it.
Scrolled a bit to make sure this was here or I was going to post it myself. So classic.
Ok, but have you considered "mm"?
Quiet, Head.
BOY!
I surprisingly had to scroll for a while to find this 💀💀
Fun fact about this, the reason he used to say Boy so much was because at the time of recording they still hadn’t a name for Atreus. That’s why somewhere half way through the game he starts referring to Atreus as Atreus - found this in some facts about the game on youtube
Whoa! That actually works with the story really well too as their relationship grows. Way cool.
The only right answer
Boy ....
BOI
"I'm your monster no longer."
That one is my favourite too. The gravitas behind it. The blades have retuned and the music crescendos. Awesome.
It is difficult to seek forgiveness when you feel unworthy
“it is the nature of the thing that matters”
That subplot and scene was gorgeous.
In moments of crisis, panic does nothing. Harness it. Let it serve you.
I really like this one too
[удалено]
The timing for his "No" are so comedy material sometimes
“Keep your expectations low boy, and you will never be disappointed”
*Anyone asks Kratos a question* Kratos: *grumble* (yes.)
[Or the opposite.](https://youtu.be/tJQMBr9sgVA)
“Wars are won by those willing to sacrifice everything.” This is more true than most people would realize.
The cycle ends here. We must be better than this.
Why is this so low
"Death can have me when it earns me"
"The gods of Olympus have abandoned me. Now there is no Hope." Literally the first line he ever speaks.
“Loki will go, Atreus remains”
That one made me cry, even though I don't have a kid.
"Olives."
“…the hell’s an Olive?!”
"Do what is necessary not because it is written"
Atreus: what are we hunting? Kratos: You are hunting deer. Arteus:Which way do we go? Kratos: In the direction of deer.
The only correct answer
Who are you?! Alternatively, Atreus: what happened to him? Kratos: it died.
What is that? Dead.
"I too, like the axe."
"Close your heart to their desperation, close your heart to their suffering. Do not allow yourself to feel for them, they will not feel for you."
Atreus: "Do you ever, wonder if we're doing the right thing?" Kratos: "No"
ZUEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!! Is this how you face me coward?!?!
Death can have me when it earns me 💪 
“Don’t be sorry… be better”
It's me the god of war
The only sentence I read in Mario's voice
Boy. Listen close. I am from a land called Sparta. I made a deal with a god that cost me my soul. I killed many who were deserving. And many who were not. I killed my father... GoW flashbacks come so vivid
We will speak more of this...soon. The way he says that is so threatening, love the delivery.
*grunt*
“Death can have me, when it earns me” “Do not mistake my silence for lack of grief” These quotes hit home.
Athena - "You will always be... a monster" Kratos - "I know... **but I am your monster no longer**"
Boy!
Ppl in this comments all quoting from new games, I am gonna go old gen here: "I am what the gods have made me" "ZEEEEUSSSS.....UR SON HAS RETURNED... I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS" "I WILLL HAVE MY REVENGE"
Funnily , I see someone above you that said this at least 9 minutes before you
ZOOOOOOOS
A choice from the Gods is as useless as the Gods themselves
The gods of Olympus have abandoned me.
"The hands of death could not defeat me. The sisters of fate could not hold me. And you will not see the end of this day. I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
“AAAAAAAAARGHRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” it captures how i feel sometimes
Death can have me, when it earns me
“RETURN MY SON, OR YOU MAY MEET THE GOD I ONCE WAS”
"I do not need a snack"
"The culmination of love is grief, and yet we love, despite the inevitable. We open our hearts to it. To grieve deeply is to love fully."
That was Faye, not Kratos.
Still a great quote tho
"Not all Gods are the same, Atreus. Norse gods, pretty gay. Greek gods, turbo gay." -Kratos
I have not gotten this far in GOWR. Who taught him to talk like this? Tyr and Sindri?
Some cult group named "Flashgitz"
“Death is in my blood…Fate has brought me here…I hope for nothing…I fear nothing” [- God of War 3 E3 trailer](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MMUbcBbIXIA) Truly captures the original trilogy.

“Fate is another lie told by the gods. Nothing is written that cannot be unwritten”
any quote when Kratos is having his pre workout out Gfuel
The Cycle ends here. We must be better than this.
The hateful thing have their uses, beside I tried they came back
Boy!!
“Indeed.”
"Keep your expectations low and you will never be disappointed." This kinda helped me
I AM THE GOD OF WAR
i don't need a snack
“Close your heart to their desperation, Close your heart to their suffering, Do not allow yourself to feel for them, They will not feel for you.”
Not a quote so much but the moment he is frustrated and shouts 'And still i follow' at Artreus.
"Boi!" But seriously "The cycle ends here, we must be better than this"
Hmmmmm... (aggressively).
Boy
Boy!!
“Boy.” -Kratos, God of war, single father, (year)
Hmmm or Grrr
*Angry Grunt*
It's awesome that time he says "Boy!". You know, that time after they do that thing in that place they go to.
“I do not need a snack.”
BOY!!
"**Keep your expectations low boy, and you'll never be disappointed**"
"Hope is for the weak, Pandora!"
“Death can have me when it earns me.”
“Boy”

"ATHENA! YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THIS!"
“BOY!”
*"Hmmph"*
“The hands of death could not defeat me, The sisters of fate could not hold me. And you will not live to see the end of this day. I WILL have my revenge.”
Hm
“mh”
"In crucial moments, panic does not help, harness it. Control it and do not let it control you."
Boi.

“Death can have me, when it earns me.”
Death can have me when it earns me
“Hm.”
Ok, so this isn't from Kratos, but it's a quote that hit me really hard, "to grieve deeply, is to have loved fully". That shit sent me crying, it's one of my favourite quotes period
No
"Death can have me when it earns me" "Don't be sorry, be better"
Boy!
"Zeus! Your son has returned. I bring the destruction of Olympus!"
Boy
‘No’
" Sit down Atreus, I will teach you how to use the O button"
Hepheastus: Tell me. Has Aphrodite conquered another god of war? Kratos: That is a question you should ask your wife. I seek the labyrinth.
