How old is Kratos in God of War Ragnarok? His age explained? ›

In God of War Ragnarök, it's likely that Kratos is around 1,055 years old. He's something of an old man, but as a demigod, he is still more than young enough to hold his own and then some in battle. Unfortunately, this is based on maths and educated guesses. Kratos's age is never told in the games.

Fimbulwinter lasts three years, so by the time Ragnarök takes place, which is when the game will be set, Atreus will be 14 years old. So if 14 is then added to the Ghost of Sparta's age, Kratos is ~1064 years old in God of War Ragnarök.

While it is never explicitly stated how old Kratos is, estimations put the former Greek God of War at between 200 to 1000 plus years old.

During the mission “A Realm Beyond”, Freya says the following line regarding Tyr's Temple: “This temple has been asleep, underwater, for almost a hundred and fifty winters.” That means that the temple has been submerged for approximately 150 years.

Kratos can't really die. Kratos as a born demigod turned god is virtually immortal, but furthermore is cursed for his sins to never be able to die, henceforth how he survived his suicide with the Blade of Olympus.

Because he's only 14, Atreus is still very young, and thus still has a lot to learn, as is discussed in Newsweek's God of War: Ragnarök review. But being that young doesn't make him useless. In fact, Kratos has spent the last three years of Atreus' life training him to be a better, stronger fighter.

So with the temple being 'asleep' for 150 years, the vase has been there for the same amount of time, possibly longer, So this is showing that Kratos is at the very least 150 years old.

Kratos is eventually revealed to be a demigod and the son of Zeus, who later betrays him.

As a demigod, time and aging do not have the same effect on Kratos, who looks only a little older in the reboot game and its sequel. This is good, because an awful lot of time could well have passed between God of War III (2010) and God of War (2018). By an awful lot of time, we mean over hundreds of years.

Answer and Explanation: Odin is thousands of years old, and there's no way to tell exactly how old he is or was when he died. Odin and the rest of the Norse gods and goddesses age much slower than mortals, and in the case of Odin, he was present at the beginning of time.

What race is Kratos? ›

Kratos was a Spartan who spent his live ONLY knowing war and violence. His son, Atreus, who was mostly raised by his mother, Faye, was gentle and wise, but taught him survival skills.

This means Baldur was at least 101 years old (though likely older) when he fought and died to Kratos. Freya, being Baldur's mother, was an adult by the time she had Baldur, though we don't know how old she is or was when she married Odin, we know she's more than 100 years old, likely a couple hundred years old.

He meets so many humans during his journey, if he was 8 feet tall then they all would be really tall. I would personally put him between 2 - 2.1 m (6'7" - 6'11"). EDIT/Conclusion: Kratos was 2.34 m (7'8¼") in the previous games and 1.94 m (6'4½") now (Starting with God of War 2018).

Some God of War Ragnarok players also cited a text from Atreus's journal that says Kratos is more than a thousand years old. On the other hand, some fans say that 1,000 could be an exaggerated figure but agree that Kratos is at least a couple of centuries old.

Later, Kratos would become a god himself as the God of War, but after he was (apparently) stripped of his godly powers and killed by Zeus, there was no one else to take the title of God of War.

Thus, in Thor: Ragnorak (2017) Thor would have been 1,499 years old, and Loki would be 1,052 years old.

Kratos isn't older than all the Norse gods. He may be older than say Baldur, Magni, and Modi. But there are definitely Norse gods that are older than him. For example, we know Odin was born during the time of Ymir, before the creation of the world, making him far older than Kratos.

It is documented that Greek gods grow stronger with age, and audiences have seen that with the sheer power and invulnerability of Old Kratos. As such, Old Kratos would win based on age.
