Kratos is a Slave to These

To you, the Blades of Chaos are the coolest weapons in gaming history. To Kratos, they are a leash.

In this video, we dig into the horrifying lore behind Kratos's signature weapons and why he literally cannot get rid of them. This isn't just about a cool fire attack; it's about a curse, a blood oath with Ares, and a pair of chains that are permanently seared into his nervous system.

We analyze why Kratos hates them, how he tried to throw them away (and failed), and the tragic reason why he finally dug them up again in the Norse saga. He isn't holding the weapon. The weapon is holding him.
