God of War 4 - Kratos finds the Blades of Chaos and meets Athena's ghost

Kratos finds Chaos Blades and meets Athena cutscene in God of War 4.

[XxAdizeroxX]

The fact that the actor cried while doing this scene, and later said, " this is a love letter to my children" makes it more sentimental to me.

"I am your monster no longer."
So badass.

The very blades that were once used to accidentally murder his old family, are now the blades to save his only family, his son. This scene is so iconic, and it also emphasizes the importance of the father.
That's why even after finishing this game on Give Me God of War, this scene is still my favorite

[blitzkrieg]

Really appreciate that Mimir stays quiet through this cutscene; it's like he knows there is a power and weighted existence behind what Kratos is doing in this moment.

When a video game incorporates fanservice into the story without creating confusing plot points or leaving things unknown, but instead makes a powerful scene with great importance to our hero. Take notes Cinema. Take notes

[MrJAILERZ]

I've cried three times in my life, this was two of them.

[Samiju]

The way he reacts when she mentions him "pretending to be a father", the soundtrack, the cinematography... goosebumps.

This scene right here had be at the edge of my bed when I saw it last night.

Santa Monica definitely swerved us saying the blades of Chaos weren't in this game.

[adamburgess]

This is my favourite scene in video games ever.

[ElronHumpperdink]

That snap when she calls him out on being a father. He may be a wild-ass monster, but he’s got those dad vibes.

[ultimate-task-gamer]

This scene is iconic. The music fits and when the both spoke. Amazing bit was when he said i am no longer your monster anymore. Amazing scene.

[jerospal]

The sound of his fingers rubbing on the metal of the blades I beautiful!

You can always imagine hearing Gaia in the background

"He slowly enters his weight of a thousand worlds on his back. He walks to the place in the floorboard, where the last remnants of a long lost past lay hidden and he hoped they would stay forever. Kratos kneels down, lifts up the loose board....and removes the bundle of cloth that lays underneath. As he starts to unravel the layers, it all floods back. The thousands that fell to his rage. The blood of his enemies turning the earth he walked upon flowing red. The God's that were cut down for his souls of his wife and daughter from a another life he himself destroyed."

"He removes the final layer and sees what stares back at him. The cold steel, the chains that once binded his arms, the blood that was spilled from every battle he fought and innocents he took."

"The Blades of

"As Kratos wraps the chains back to where they once held to him, a spark flies up, then another, then 10, 50, and soon life breathes back into what was once dormant and hidden away. As if they sensed there master coming to them once again they flare alive again as if they were just used the day before."

"As the memories came flooding back as he stood up, the inevitable had happened. The Ghost of Sparta....had returned."

[RaTrooper]

The "I know" is so sad and hits right in the heart

[jboogie]

Oh man believe me when this scene was playing I was almost in tears I was hyped up

[devynwiesner]

I had goosebumps when I played through and got to this 👀

[jasonbourne]

I completely loved this part of the game. When EA was moving away from single player campaign based games God of War stuck tightly on course and created an extremely cinematic art piece. EA can rott in hell.

[badash]

I cant describe how pleased I was to see and get my hands on those blades again while playing this game! lol

[drewatwood]

Perhaps my favorite scene of the whole game. The Blades of Chaos could never leave him according to the book. But sometimes you can't beat the most iconic of weapons. Not to mention the Hades flames they imbue look incredible in such high definition. I honestly wondered if there would be chain blades in this game. Now to save Atreus...
