Many God of War players will think the final scene of Kratos and Atreus' journey is the two of them on the mountaintop; however, there is another moment with our two heroes that fans will want to see.
The first ending for God of War happens with the credits rolling while Kratos and Atreus walk down the mountain after scattering Faye's ashes. You can check out the ending explanation, here. But the second and final credits scene occurs when you return to a familiar location.
SPOILER ALERT! This final cutscene will spoil events of the main story and possibly the sequel. If you haven't finished the journey, turn back now.
God of War 's story includes plenty of different gods and goddesses from Norse Mythology but a very popular one makes a surprise appearance.
Here's how to get to the final cutscene and credits:
- Finish the journey and head back to your house
- Enter your house and walk over to the bed and press circle to go to sleep
- Enjoy the crazy final cutscene
The final cutscene fast forwards a few years to Kratos and Atreus waking up to a giant storm outside. The roof begins to come apart and the two run outside to see a cloaked man waiting for them. Kratos asks who he is and why is he doing this.
The man raises his arm, pulling up the cloak to reveal a giant hammer filled with electricity before the game cuts to black and the final credits. This cloaked man is Thor whose sons, Magni and Modi, died by your hand. So he is obviously looking for revenge.
After the long final credits are complete, players are returned to the present with Atreus explaining to Kratos that he had a dream about Thor. Kratos shrugs it off as just a dream but Atreus says that it felt very real, possibly setting up the next God of War.
God of War is available now for PS4.
