Hello, gamers of Hive. I hope you are doing well.
Today, I will share my progress in GOW Ragnarok in the hardest difficulty and will further update about the monstrocity that existed in Ironwood.
Without further ado, let's begin!
We reach the home of Gryla, Angrboda's grandmother. She said that she uses these animals to feel what they felt during their lives, the emotions of where to eat and sleep, the winds in their fur, their bond with their soulmate.
Gryla's home was of a true giantess. Every aspect of material was huge as it should be. Angrboda warned of her grandmother but Atreus shrugs it off, said that they were not going to die to her according to the prophecy and so they made it to where she keeps her used animals... sounds wrong.
Atreus took one giant's marble and with the help of her, they put its soul in the snake. As soon as it came into life, it slithered off the place... as if it knew where it had to go.
They left the backroom as it was and as they were about to leave, Gryla entered and muttered how the pain of the poor wolf was about to end. Angrboda made a plan to destroy the cauldron that would contain the soul of the wolf. Without it, she would do no one any harm. But... they got caught... she caught Atreus like a house fly.
Angrboda saved Atreus and so they escaped to underneath the furniture. Almost how we are like roaches, she chased the two, until they had a big showdown with her grandmother. They eventually broke her pot and she had a real potty mouth. She said a lot about Angrboda's parents and Loki's father.
To lift up her mood, Loki challenged her for a race to get back to her home. She was hesitant at first but then agreed and so they gleefully raced. She rode a magic fox while he turned into a wolf.
Once back, Atreus asked what she was gonna do since her part in all this is done. She said that she will continue to do what she has been doing. He later asked her how to get back home... she said just saying that he wanted to get home would transfer him. But... he made it to his home in Midgard with multiple hel-draugrs.
Once they were dealt with he quickly opened up the doorway only to find Kratos coming in from the other side. Kratos asked him where he was for 2 days straight... Atreus wouldn't answer and said that he needed to keep it a secret. Just then... more hel-draugrs showed up.
As soon as those were dealt with, an uncanny Valkyrie swooped in and started to beat down Kratos. Poor guy cannot seem to catch a break. Mimir suggested that Odin may have finally brought in his finest Valkyrie queen.
Once the mask was pulled down, we find that it was none other than the vengeful lady Freya. She gave some thought... after almost getting mauled by Atreus's bear form... and told that for the moment she will deal with Odin first and then Kratos. Atreus goes back with Sindri to the realm between realms and Brok helps them get to Vanaheim and joins the crew.
That's all for today's journey. My god, so much had happened to Atreus in these 2 days and I can see how the journey of Kratos and Freya may turn once they join forces in battle. The difficulty will keep that excitement in check though.
