I'm not sure of the significance of this detail, but Faye's soul appears to be golden whereas every other soul we see, belonging to Giants, Gods, or otherwise, is blue.

Anybody have any ideas?

I also find it very interesting that her soul doesn't appear to leave her body until after her body is burned and essentially laid to rest, whereas Odin's soul leaves him immediately, as well as Fenrir's. Granted, Atreus was using the same spell on both.

I'm not sure if Norse mythos requires a funeral for the soul to exit the body, but Faye was presumably dead for some time leading up to it, as Kratos and Atreus are already preparing her funeral by the start of the game. She is wrapped in a shroud and adorned with flowers as well.

We also know that Norse souls have 4 parts, and that each part IS required for passage into the afterlife. So that would mean that it's impossible for any part of her to be in the light of Alfheim, or bound to Leviathan, as some old theories suggest. Otherwise, she couldn't go to the Everywhen. That is unless the rules for getting into the Everywhen are somehow different, of course...

Maybe here you don't need all your soul bits, as it's not dictated by the rules of any one singular mythos, but is instead a combination of them all?

What do y'all think?

Genuinely so excited to hear Bear McCreary's rendition of the Greek Saga soundtrack

Hasn't taken off these musty dusty ass old boots in three years 😭

Honestly, when I first watched the Laufey trailer, I thought she might be in Fólkvangr.

The flower enemies and wildlife seemed very reminiscent of the stuff we see throughout Vanaheim. All the critters and hostile plant life really had me thinking I was on to something.

It is the only Norse afterlife we have yet to see, after all. I don't even think there's any mention of it, if I recall correctly?

But the pink flower enemies also reminded me of the ones back in Greece that we saw during Sons of Sparta, that shoot poison at you.

Idk. No big theory here or anything. Just an observation I made.

Faye will have a falcon form like Freya's in her game.

This logo shows up repeatedly in the promotional material, and Faye is represented by the falcon in the Jötnar edition pin set.

AND as stated by Angrboða, the Vanir learned some of their magic from the Jötnar.

Atreus can transform, so why not Faye, too?

Really excited if this turns out to be true! Always thought it'd be cool if we got more forms to play as during the Atreus parts of Ragnarök.

The lead writer of GoW:L states that ALL gods go to the Everywhen when they die.

So how come Odin didn't? He was dead for 9 days and still came back obsessed with knowing what would happen to him after his death.

Unless, and I have a theory so bear with me here, the Yggdrasil and the Everywhen are linked more than you'd think.

Of course, they are definitely connected. The Everywhen is supposed to be the birthplace of all magic, as well as the place to which all magic eventually returns. But I recall Freya saying something very very similar about the World Tree, when we first enter the Realm Travel Room in Týr's Temple...

I've been wondering what Begtse was saying in the gameplay trailer. I was able to isolate the voice audio from the background with CapCut, but I can't find a reliable translation tool. Captions just read "speaking Mongolian"

Not sure how to tag this one. Does anyone know if these quests happen to be bugged? I've been grinding rivalries for the Brella since the season is almost up and I'm not getting them.

I've tried restarting my game. No luck. :/ Playing on PS5 if that makes any difference.

Any help is appreciated.
