Does Kratos ever kill Odin?

Kratos does not directly kill Odin, as the All-Father’s demise is ultimately caused by Sindri, who seeks revenge for the death of Brok. However, Kratos plays a significant role in the events leading up to Odin’s death, as he, along with Freya and Atreus, engage in a fierce battle against the All-Father.

Background and Context

To understand the circumstances surrounding Odin’s death, it is essential to delve into the storyline of God of War: Ragnarok. The game’s narrative explores the complex relationships between the characters and the motivations behind their actions. Kratos, the protagonist, is driven by his desire to protect his son Atreus and prevent the impending Ragnarok.

Odin’s Demise

The final battle against Odin is a pivotal moment in the game, as Kratos, Freya, and Atreus combine their strength to take down the All-Father. Although they successfully trap Odin’s soul, it is Sindri who ultimately destroys it, avenging the death of his brother Brok. This outcome raises questions about the dynamics between the characters and the consequences of their actions.
