With the upcoming God of War for PS4, we see series protagonist Kratos taking on a new

mythological foe, so we here at Suggestive Gaming figured now would be a good time to

go over Kratos' first set of opposition: the greek pantheon.

So strap yourself in, because this is What You Need to Know about the entire original

Our story begins with the Primordials, the very first beings to come into existence,

fighting for control of their creation, Earth.

This war ravished the world, and eventually the three Furies were born from the rage and

The Furies were then tasked to honor oaths between the various beings of Earth.

Their first victim was the Hecatonchires, Aegaeon, who had broken an oath to one of

To make an example of Aegaeon, the Furies petrify his body into The Prison of the Damned

for anyone who dared to break an oath in the future.

Eventually the Furies began to take guidance from the God of War, Ares, who convinced them

Believing their forces to be too weak, the queen of the Furies, Alecto, birthed a son

with Ares hoping to create a powerful warrior.

This warrior, Orkos, proved to be a failure in Ares' eyes, and was disowned; however,

the Furies decided to use him as their oath-keeper.

With Ares still in search for his warrior to help take over Olympus, Zeus hears of a

prophecy foretelling his death at the hands of one of his sons, a  'marked warrior'.

Ares is tasked to find and dispose of this threat.

Ares discovers Deimos, a young Spartan who bore a birthmark all over his body, and storms

During the kidnapping, Deimos' brother, another young Spartan by the name of Kratos,

attempts to stop the God, but he is struck down, leaving a scar over his right eye.

Ares attempts to kill Kratos for this, but his sister, Athena, the goddess of war, convinces

Deimos is then taken to the god of death, Thanatos, to prevent the prophecy and protect Zeus.

Kratos, tortured by his inability to save his brother, vows to never fail like that

again, and tattoos a replica of Deimos' birthmark on himself in remembrance.

Kratos' rage and pain remained with him as he became a leading member of the Spartan

army, eventually marrying a Spartan woman named Lysandra, and the two have a daughter

Calliope unfortunately contracts a plague, which infects her skin and causes the Spartan

authorities to decide for her to be thrown into a chasm and left to die.

Kratos then sets off to find the cure for her disease, a mysterious element with exceptional

Unbeknownst to Kratos, the Gods had a wager in which they selected various heroes whom

they believed would first obtain the Ambrosia.

Kratos was chosen by Ares, likely due to their prior run-in in which Kratos displayed his

After battling the other Gods' selected heroes, Kratos fights a climactic battle with

an army of Barbarians and their leader Alrik, who was trying to retrieve the Ambrosia to

Kratos eventually bests Alrik, and captures the Ambrosia, but at the cost of many of his men.

Upon returning to Sparta, Kratos heals his daughter, and the King of Sparta bestows on

As captain of the Spartan army, Kratos leads his men to many victorious battles, often

slaying scores of enemies with an increasing hunger for power, despite the wishes of his

Eventually, Kratos comes across a familiar enemy, the barbarian king Alrik who still

Kratos and his army are no match to the rebuilt Barbarian army, and Kratos, moments away from

death at the hands of Alrik, calls out to Ares in desperation.

Ares, seeing a candidate to overthrow Olympus, accepts Kratos's offer of loyalty, and kills

He then gives Kratos the Blades of Chaos, symbolizing his servitude to the God of War.

Under Ares' loyalty, Kratos slays many innocents, razes villages, and spreads chaos in the name

Under Ares' influence, Kratos slowly loses his humanity with every battle fought for

Soon, Kratos is tasked to raid a village of Athena's followers due to Ares' jealously

of Athena, whom their father Zeus favored.

There, he encounters an oracle, who warns Kratos of dark things awaiting him inside

Kratos ignores this warning, and enters the temple, blindly slaughtering those inside.

However, afterwards, Kratos comes to realize that those inside the temple were none other

than his beloved wife Lysandra and daughter Calliope.

Ares reveals that he had transported them there secretly in order to sever Kratos's

human ties and create the perfect warrior.

Kratos leaves the bodies of his family inside the temple to burn, and as he exits, the oracle

curses him, binding the ashes of his wife and child to Kratos's skin, forcing him

to wear another reminder of his failures, and turning him into the Ghost of Sparta.

Kratos then renounces his allegiance to Ares, and breaks his oath, causing the Furies to

hunt him down and torture him with endless illusions.

Kratos then finds himself trapped in an illusion of his former home in Sparta.

Orkos appears before him and helps him break the illusion using Lysandra's necklace and

Orkos then convinces Kratos to seek out Aletheia, the Oracle at Delphi.

He finds the Oracle captured, but is unable to prevent her from being mortally wounded.

Before her death, she informs Kratos that the only way he can be free of his oath to

Ares would be to slay the oath's enforcers: the Furies.

Kratos returns to Orkos who informs him of Ares' true intentions all along to use him

With this knowledge, Kratos travels to Delos to slay the Furies.

Upon his arrival, however, he is ambushed and captured by them, and they proceed to

After two weeks of torture, one of the Furies leaves an opening for Kratos to exploit and

After various battles and illusions, Kratos is able to outsmart and outfight the Furies,

After the death of the Furies, Kratos returns to his home in Sparta where he finds Orkos,

who reveals to Kratos that while he killed the Furies, they transferred Kratos' oath

to him, keeping the bond with Ares' intact.

Orkos hands Kratos his blade, and asks him for an honorable death in order to permanently

Kratos complies, killing Orkos, and burning his home with the former oath-keeper's body still inside.

No longer under servitude to Ares, Kratos dedicates his life to serving the Gods of
