![]() Thor is not responsible for the death of Faye, so then what is? We may never know, a truly frustrating capstone as Faye continued to be a driving force in God of War Ragnarok for both her husband and son. Thor is the giant killer his rage at the behest of Odin laid waste to most of Jotunheim and killing Faye would have been just another notch on his girthy belt. The ONLY reason I can see for it being intentionally omitted is that it would have pushed Kratos and Atreus’s entire “ We Must Be Better” mindset to the brink as it’s difficult to imagine Kratos not reverting to his old self with the killer of his wife running free for years. If Faye did die as a result of hypothetical injuries to Thor, Sony Santa Monica’s writing team had no reason to keep it secret as it would only serve to add to the narrative. Thor is not responsible for the death of Faye, so then what is?” “Thor is the giant killer his rage at the behest of Odin laid waste to most of Jotunheim and killing Faye would have been just another notch on his girthy belt. If Faye was mortally wounded during her confrontation with the God of Thunder wouldn’t this have been brought up at some point?Īs I covered in my previous critique of the game, we lack the necessary reason and motivation to be in conflict with Thor and this would surely have given us more than a reason to hate him, killing two birds with one narrative stone. Faye chose to isolate herself after this, where she met Kratos, according to the prophecy. Was Faye there in defense of the Vanir? God of War Ragnarok informs us that Faye has the Jotun power of foresight, but doesn’t explain how she intended to use this to her advantage, here or in the long term. ![]() Odin dammed the waters essentially starving the Vanir gods out. ![]() We are told specifically that Thor was incredibly drunk during this affair, likely a nod as to why Faye could stand against him, but why were they arguing? We learn here The Crater was home to the Vanir and when the conflict between them and the Aesir gods grew. They argued, which led to their fight, leaving us with no answer as to a victor. The encounter as we understand it goes: Faye and Thor were drinking heavily, indicating they knew each other in some capacity prior. Other than this insight and vague tidbits by quest givers strewn about the Crater details are fuzzy. This Crater bears witness to their battle, scarring the land and leaving behind the telltale frozen bolt of lightning our encounter with Thor creates at the onset of God of War Ragnarok’s story. Here we are given our only insight into Faye’s life before Kratos’s arrival in Midgard and the revelation that her axe met the God of Thunder’s Mjolnir in battle some time ago. One of Ragnarok’s pleasant surprises comes in the form of a massive open area in Vanaheim called The Crater. Was Faye ill? Did she die of natural causes, or was she killed by something, or someone? For a death that acts as a catalyst to our story, we are given puzzlingly no explanation as to how it occurred. This entire journey began in Midgard with the mysterious passing of Kratos’ wife and Atreus’s mother, Faye, and a request for her ashes to be scattered from the highest peak in all the realms.
