As Kratos fights the giant, he gains Spartan Rage, and goes APE on the giant.

Dauthamunni discovered comes across, written like Norse runes. Yes, the boy calls Kratos “Father.” They continue hunting the deer, and this time his son hits it dead on. Kratos tells his son to deal the killing blow with the knife of his mother, and he again hesitates. Kratos helps him guide the knife in.
“Now you are ready,” Kratos says. “For what?” asks his son. “A new beginning.” It pans out, and a dragon flies by them. God of War is coming from Santa Monica Studio.
