21 "Open Your Heart" 𒀰

Kratos telling Atreus to open his heart, in God of War Ragnarok

The impact of this line - this whole speech, really - comes from two different sources. First, it's not used just once - it's something Faye tells Kratos, and then Kratos tells Atreus. Second, and most important, is that it contradicts the mentality Kratos had earlier, which was even used in God of War 2018 promotional material, where Kratos tells Atreus to close his heart to their enemies' suffering.

Kratos admitting he was wrong, acknowledging that his son's power comes from caring for others, and telling him to open his heart to others' suffering showed how much Kratos has grown compared to his days as a servant of the Gods.

20 𝔍 "Death Can Have Me When It Earns Me"

Kratos in God of War Ragnarok.

A very powerful line, and one that indeed feels earned by the character, if🍸 you consider that he has died three times and has gone to two diffꩵerent after-lives.

The funniest part of all this is that, despite how powerful the line is, even being used for promotional material of Ragnarok, this is just something he drops during a conversation with Freya while you're traveling.

19 "This Is What 'Sorry' Looks Like"

Sindri, with blood over his armor, in God of War Ragnarok

He helped us with everything we needed. He gave all he could, even after he lost everything. Granted, it's not Kratos' nor Atreus' fault, but if losing Brok wasn't a terrible thing itself, the true tragedy of death is the pain it causes to the living.

And seeing Sindri go from an innocent, caring person to a completely broken man who wants revenge for Brok's death is just too sad to see. The line describes his state perfectly, as well as breaks our hearts.

18 "This👍 Is The Point Where I Forgive You Or I Kill You" ♚

Freya and Kratos shaking hands God of War Ragnarok

This quote also works as a silly meta joke from the developers, as most people likely thought the same when reaching this point in the story. Still, this quote marks the turning point for Freya, after she focuses her hatred on the p𒅌erson that deserves it, Odin.

Can Kratos overcome his greatest enemy?

After all, he put her through, and realizing Kratos isn't the one to blame, even if his involvement caused her pain. Thus, the Greek God of War and the Norse Goddess of, well, many things, unite in their fight against the All-Father.

17 💖 "To Catch A Fly From The As🐲s Of Zeus Is Not Worth My Time, Hermes!"

Kratos ripping Hermes' right leg in God of War 3

Leave it to Kratos to bring class and subtlety to an argument! When confron꧑ted by Hermes, the two engage in a tit-for-tat that has Kratos utter this surprisingly comedic quote before giving chase.

Kratos' words seem fitting when he finally catches up with Hermes and dispatches the snide God by cutting his legs off, thereby granting him the Boots of Hermes.

16 "Zeus! Your Son Has Returned! I Bring The Destruction Of Olympus!"ﷺ;

Kratos, wielding the Blade of Olympus, on top of Gaia's shoulder, in God of War 3

Kratos' unwavering quest for vengeance didn't stop at the original Greek God of War, especially following Zeus's betrayal. Recognizing that his true foe was the reigning God supreme of Olympus, Kratos pressed forward to his singular goal of killing his own father.

This quote sums up Kratos' focused rage and purposeful madness better than any other. In open defiance of powers theoretically far beyond his own, Kratos was ready to bet the entire farm on his own blood thirst.

15 "From This Night Forward, The Mark Of Your Terrible Deed Will Be Visible T🐓o All. The Ashes Of Your Wife And Child Will Remain Fastened To Your Skin, Never To Be Removed." 🍬

And old oracle, who cursed Kratos of carrying his family's ashes, from God of War

This quote comes courtesy of the Village Oracle, a woman in service to the Goddess Athena, whom Ares despised. He sent his young protegé ওKratos to the village to slaughter everyone in the Temple of Athe𓂃na, which would have permanent consequences.

Not only did Are⛄s trick Kratos into inadvertently murdering his own wife and child, but the ashes of the slain would permanently mark his body as a reminder of the incident, earning him the nickname, "Ghost of Sparta."

14 ﷺ "If All 🦂On Olympus Would Deny Me My Vengeance, Then All On Olympus Will Die!"

Kratos looking at Athena, who ke accidentally killed, in God of War 2

Kratos cared not for the well-being of humanit🅠y or the world at largeꦜ. He was willing to slaughter anyone or anything that got in the way of his quest for supreme vengeance against Zeus.

God of War is a franch𓂃ise that features Greek and Norse mythology, giving it quite the large roster of gods to pick and choose from.

This quote demonstrated that Kratos was willing to run the gauntlet, and face down every God of Olympus that dared to put an end to his campaign. In the end, Gods and Demigods alike fell to Kratos' unbridled rage, until only Zeus was left.

13 ꧅ &quo❀t;I Am What The Gods Have Made Me!"

Kratos and Lahkesis talking before their fight, in God of War 2

This particular quote is a reference to the timeless philosophical debate about the nature of free will, and whether we are truly in control of our own destinies. The concept would come up several times in subsequent God oꦚf War games.

Kratos' thirst for vengeance is driven by madness and obsession, with no light at the end of the tunnel, once his quest is complete. Though he would later pursue a new life in Midgard, Kratos' campaign of war against Olympus was, in many ways, a suicide run. It begs the question of who is truly responsible for his actions, even if the answer seems apparent.

12 &qu🍷ot;Boy!"

Kratos yelling "Boy!" as a joke, from a scene in God of War 2018

Okay, maybe it's not ALL serious in the God of War fandom. 2018's God of War was a most profound and emotionally turn for the series, but that didn't stop fans from turning one simple line into a meme.

Kratos often refers to his son Atreus as "boy" (father of the year right here), and he says it in an unemotional and threateningly deep voice. Fans found this absolutely hilarious for some reason, and a meme was created. Of all the God of War quotes throughout the years, "boy" is probably the most memorable, even if it isn't the most thoughtful or sincere. Such is what you get with the internet.
