No wonder the man was as insufferable as he was in later titles!Īnyway, Orkos’ death freed Kratos from his bonds. Orkos revealed to Kratos that he had been made, once more, Spartan’s Oath Keeper by the Furies before their death, and as a result, Kratos had to kill Orkos – what a sad realisation! However, Kratos, who did not like Ares one bit, killed Orkos anyway after Orkos accepted his death in honour of their friendship. Having killed all Furies, Kratos returned home to Sparta where he and Orkos met up once more. Fortunately, Kratos eventually saw through their illusion and killed both Furies. Hey, hot Geek Goddesses are hard to say no to, okay. They managed to do this by taking on the visage of Lysandra. Kratos then fled and eventually came head-to-head with Tisiphone and Alecto, who attempted to lure the Spartan back to Ares’ servitude once more. Kratos, the nimble bugger that he was at the time, dodged Aehaeons attack and the Fury accidentally killed Magaera instead. Kratos retaliated, and Magaera, the Fury, summoned her parasitic brood to return Aegaeon to life, another Fury. One Fury had an exceptional grudge on Kratos for severing her arm in a struggle before the capture and attacked him, unintentionally breaking his chains. On the journey, Kratos was ambushed and imprisoned once more. After slaying Pollux and Castor, two prophets who had imprisoned the Oracle, it was revealed that Kratos needed to slay the Furies to be free of his bond. He thus betrayed the Furies and helped Kratos by informing the Spartan that the answer to his freedom could be found in Delphi, with the Oracle Aletheia. Orkos, who was still kind of bummed out that he could not aid his parents, instead aided Kratos. They succeeded in doing so by casting illusions and weakening the Spartan’s mind. Kratos refused Ares, and as a result, became the ire of the god of war’s anger.Īres ordered the Furies to capture Kratos. As a last-ditch effort, Ares employed Kratos, who at the time, was a mumbling mess and emotional wreck. Alecto, the Fury Queen, mated with Ares in the hopes of creating this warrior, but unfortunately the result of this pairing, Orkos, kind of sucked. The Furies have formed a plot to overtake Olympus, and all they need now is a “perfect warrior” to help them in their plot. In the prologue we learn that the Furies, who have dealigned with the current god of war Ares, have become ruthless under Ares’ guidance. While technically the seventh instalment in the franchise, it serves as the “first chapter” in the series.Īscension, which predates Kratos’ entire reign as the god of war, takes place around six months after he unintentionally kills his wife and daughter. The game is set six months before “that fateful day”, when Kratos unintentionally killed his wife and daughter. God of War: AscensionĪscension is undoubtedly the very youngest Kratos will ever be playable in the franchise. That said, and without further ado, let the breakdown begin. While playing the game in chronological order would make much more sense, it does spoil something best left intended to find out as the developers wanted it to (much like Star Wars). The time has come to go on a wild ride of god slaying action, betrayal, and the revelations pertinent to one demigod’s journey to find himself and seek revenge on those who wronged him.įor reference, here is the original release order of the games: Although I still recommend playing through the franchise as the developers intended (in release order), I will be offering a brief chronological breakdown of each part of Kratos’ saga. However, Kratos’ journey is a complicated one. Personally, I would always recommend playing a series in the order it was released. With that said, there are many folks out there who have either not yet played a God of War game, or who have only now become interested in the franchise. As such, there are quite a few people who simply want a rundown of what is going on, and why. Everyone’s favourite God of War is back! This time in a brand-new instalment that took Sony Santa Monica over five years to create.
