Finding Another Way to Jotunheim
God of War Story and Ending Summary
Back in Helheim, Atreus finally starts to show some remorse for being so cocky about being a god. While trying to find a way out of Helheim, they also find Baldur once again, and we learn that Freya is actually his mother. Freya had given him the gift of immortality, and this caused Baldur to resent her. Baldur told Freya to get out of his life, but resolved to kill her if he ever saw her again.
Before heading back to Midgard, Kratos sees a vision of Zeus once again, and Atreus sees it as well. When they finally get back to Midgard, Brok and Sindri help them in making a key to access Tyr’s vault, where they try to find an alternate path to Jotunheim. They eventually figure out that they have to flip Tyr’s Tower itself in order to get a Unity Stone, which allows them to travel between realms.
While in between realms, they discover a new travel tower which can take them directly to Jotunheim. However, there’s another snag in the plan. They can’t go there quite yet as they need a travel crystal, similar to Mimir’s one eye. They talk to the World Serpent again, who tells them that he swallowed a statue which might contain a hidden compartment containing Mimir’s missing eye. Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir then sail a boat into the Serpent’s mouth to find the eye.
They manage to find the eye, but on their way out, they find that the Serpent is under attack. When they finally get out, we see that Baldur had attacked the serpent to flush them out. Freya also shows up to try to stop them from fighting.
In the end, Atreus manages to break Baldur’s immortality spell by injuring him with mistletoe, and Kratos is able to kill him before he kills Freya. However, Freya clearly isn’t happy about this. She takes Baldur’s body away, and she no longer regards Kratos as an ally. Anyway, they can finally go to Jotunheim now.
