Kratos called Atreus ‘Boy’ so many times in God of War (2018) that it became a meme, but the sequel is far more selective in using this phrase. 
PLEASE NOTE: This article takes great care to avoid SPOILERs as much as possible, but given the nature of Boy’s usage, fans may still find spoilery details below. God of War (2018) saw Kratos call Atreus “boy” so much that it became a meme. Many would mimic Kratos by shouting “Boy!” in his voice, while others would sometimes call the game “Boy of War.” Because of this, the fact that Kratos only calls Atreus “Boy” ONCE in God of War Ragnarok comes as a big surprise.
In total, it’s only used four times, with one of those simply being a passing joke. This storytelling choice no doubt reflects how Kratos sees his son. In God of War, Atreus had a lot of growing up to do, was immature as they come, and was unprepared for the fights that came his way. Atreus, by the time of God of War Ragnarok, has grown a lot—physically, but more importantly, mentally.
He is no longer the annoying kid that fans knew, as Kratos and Atreus spent the majority of Fimbulwinter training, This change in how Kratos sees Atreus is evident throughout the game, even if Kratos still struggles with seeing his son on his own path, and this gives the handful of times “Boy” is used extra meaning.

Why doesn t Kratos call Atreus boy?
Kratos Won’t Call Atreus “Boy” in God of War Ragnarok The 2018 release of God of War might have won game awards and become one of Sony’s best PlayStation games but it also spawned its own “Boy” meme. Kratos had very little respect for his son in the 2018 God of War and like a lieutenant, would often refer to Atreus as “Boy”.
When Kratos reprimanded him it was “Boy”, when Kratos wanted him to do something, it was also “Boy”. Even right up to the end of the game, Kratos refused to say his name. However, in God of War Ragnarok that is changing. According to Sony Santa Monica Studios’ Eric Williams, Kratos and Atreus’ relationship has grown a lot since the last game.
Kratos now calls the boy by his real name, Atreus. Williams says that the decision to drop the boy reference was mainly due to the strides Kratos has made to respect his son a lot more than before. Kratos feels like it is no longer time to baby the child and that Atreus has grown enough to no longer be treated like a kid.
- Sony Santa Monica Studios also approached the game with an open mind as to include both parents and their kids in the emotional exploration of the relationship between Kratos and Atreus.
- It’s that idea that we really wanted it to be this feeling of like ‘oh, I can find a way into this story, whether I’m a parent or a child, or I’m somewhere in between, or I remember both sides of it’.
There’s a way in for everyone. The last game you had Atreus just always being told what to do by adults. Anybody asks a question and they never give him an answer. But we wanted to be a lot more grey” I already saw in my early hands-on with the game that Kratos is really trying hard to be a more supportive, protective father.
I reference a specific line where Kratos and Atreus are arguing about something the boy wants to do. Kratos refuses to support this decision and Atreus screams at him saying “stop thinking like a father for a change and start thinking like a lieutenant”. God of War Ragnarok releases on 8 November for PS4 and PS5.

Does Kratos tell Atreus he’s a God?
God of War (2018) – Atreus first appears to be helping Kratos collect tree’s for Faye’s funeral, witnessing his father chopping the last one with his mother’s handprint. The two return to the boat with the log, and go home to burn Faye’s body into ashes, and to take them to the highest peak of the realms.
Atreus says his final prayers, and takes his mother’s knife despite burning his hand due to the flames. Kratos tells Atreus that they are hunting deer, and go into the wildwoods to hunt to see if he was ready. Atreus is startled by the deer, and accidently fires his arrow, causing the animal to run off and have his guard.
Kratos yells at his son, but calms himself to continue hunting the deer without his bow. Eventually finding the deer, Atreus shoots the animal, and has to give the final blow with the aid of Kratos. The two are attacked by a Troll, and Atreus assists his father in the battle, ending with the latter killing the troll with a neck snap.
Atreus lets his rage on the monster, slicing it with his mother’s knife while insulting the corpse. Kratos stops him, but states that Atreus is not ready for their journey, angering the child. At home, Atreus is challenged by his father on his anger, but a stranger knocks on their door, causing the child to have to hide as Kratos handles it.
Atreus hears a fight ensue between Kratos and the stranger, and is surprised to see is father return despite hearing the destruction. Seeing that their home was no longer safe, Kratos and Atreus decided to go on their journey despite the child not being ready, and his sickness.
- When reaching up the mountain on the River Pass, Atreus notices that their home was protected by magical grove trees, and that Kratos broke it when cutting them down.
- After dealing with Draugr, Revenants, and Hel-Walkers (who were humans that Kratos previously killed moments before), the two meet Brok, a dwarf who co-created Leviathan (Kratos’ axe).
While traveling, they encounter a boar, but Atreus notices that it’s magical, and has thickened skin. He successfully wounds the boar, but runs in a fog as Kratos picks up his knife that he drop before. Atreus catches up to the boar, but meets a woman who states that the boar was her friend.
Ratos meets wit the two, and helps the Witch get her friend into her home, which is Chaurli, a giant turtle. After helping to heal the animal, the Witch shows them a secret passage to get to the Lake of the Nine. At the lake, the two summon Jörmungandr, the world serpent that lowers the water to get them on land.
The two go through one of the realm towers and meet Sindri, Brok’s brother, at the Foothills, and he upgrades the axe after learning of Faye’s death. Making up to the mountain, the duo find themselves unable to go through the mouth due to the Black Breath, power dark magic that the Witch of the Woods can’t break.
She takes them to the Bifrost, and Kratos activates the machine to Alfheim, the realm of the Elves. Once entering the realm, the Witch notices that the light is gone, and orders them to fix the problem before being sent back to Midgard. The father and son soon enter a battle against the Dark Elves, who have won the war against the Light Elves, and are taking over the light.
Atreus begins to hear voices asking for help, and believes that he heard Faye in the midst, but Kratos rebuffs the idea. After getting rid of the roots over the light, Kratos enters while Atreus waits with his father’s axe. According to Atreus, Kratos was in the light for a long time, and he had to fight countless waves of Dark Elves until he grabbed his father out.
- Despite being angered that he believed Kratos didn’t care for him, Atreus gains the ability to shoot light arrows from Faye’s bow string, and defeats the chief Dark Elf Svartáljǫfurr.
- Atreus becomes frustrated with his father, believing not to care about him or Faye, and only needing for simple tasks.
Kratos reveals that he is suffering from grief, but differently, and learns that for his father, moments pass while in the light. Returning to Midgard, the expel the Black Breath and continue their journey to the highest peak of the mountain. The two are attacked by the dragon Hræzlyr in the mines, with the result going outside where Sindri is attacked.
- Atreus begs his father to help Sindri, and the two are able to defeat the dragon by using the sap and crane.
- Sindri thanks the two by embedding Atreus’ bow string with the dragon’s tooth, and is given mistletoe arrows.
- On the way to the top, Kratos stops Atreus and places a mistletoe tip arrow to his strap, and hear the stranger talking to a man.
Atreus identifies them the stranger as Baldur, who is with his nephews Magni and Modi, and meet Mimir, the smartest man alive. Mimir reveals to the duo that the highest peak in all the realms is in Jötunheim, and states that he will help them. But first, Mimir tells Kratos to cut off his head (since the branches couldn’t be damaged by Mjolnir itself), and take his head to the witch so that she can revive him.
- Taking him to the Witch, but she orders Atreus to get rid of the mistletoe arrows, calling them “wicked”.
- She then orders him to destroy any that he finds, and then revives Mimir before spitting on his face.
- Mimir reveals that the witch is Freya, the former queen of the Vanir, which angers Kratos (since she didn’t tell this earlier).
The two asked for information on how to get to Jötunheim, and Mimir states they have to ask the world serpent, and he can speak his dead language. After talking to the serpent, Mimir tells them they have to get Thamur’s chisel, which can open the lock doors they have encountered.
- Reaching to Thamur’s corpse, Kratos successfully destroyed the ice above the chisel, and the two are confronted by Magni and Modi.
- The two defeat the brothers, and Kratos kills Magni to stop Modi from hurting Atreus, shocking the God.
- Atreus shoots arrows at Modi as he runs away, causing his fever to return as he was becoming angry at the Norse God’s insults about his mother.
After getting the chisel, Mimir tells them to go Tyr’s vault, but are ambushed by Modi before they could below the area. The Norse Gods shocks Kratos with lighting, as Atreus becomes angry with Modi’s insults. Atreus lets out his Spartan Rage, but falls into a coma, as Kratos beats the cowardly Modi.
- Mimir suggests that Kratos take him to Freya, and she states that Atreus’ god side is fighting with his mortal side (since he doesn’t know of his godhood).
- She instructs Kratos to go Helheim to collect the heart of the bride keeper, but states he will weapons not of Norse, as his axe will be useless on the dead.
Kratos returns home and collects the Blades of Chaos, and kills the bridge keeper while getting the aid of Brok to get out of Hel. After reviving Atreus, he remains quiet until he questioned by his father. He reveals that he is cursed, and believes that Kratos doesn’t want him, but is instead told that he is a god alongside his father.
After learning of his godhood, Atreus becomes arrogant, cocky, and reckless, boasting that they can do whatever they want. After leaving Tyr’s temple with the rune, Atreus becomes more arrogant, yelling at Sindri for constantly talking of brother; referring to them as “little problems”. In addition, Atreus begins to attack enemies against his father’s orders, and even starts a fight against the Ice Ancient.
His notable act is killing a beaten Modi against his father’s wishes, causing the two to be hostile toward each other. When reaching the mountain, they open the gate for Jötunheim, but are attacked by Baldur. Atreus shoots his father with a shock arrow, believing himself to be ready to fight the Norse God of light, but is grabbed and taken.
- Ratos successfully saves Atreus from Baldur, but at the cost of sending the three into the lowest part of Helheim.
- Ratos reprimands Atreus for his behavior and actions, and states that their conversation was far from over.
- While going through Hel, Atreus sees his self killing Modi, despite saying that wasn’t him.
The two also see Baldur watch his past of him arguing against his mother Freya for casting the spell that made him invulnerable. While riding the boat, Atreus sees his father fight a man, and later states that he didn’t see the phantom. After escaping from Hel, the trio learn that Tyr had secretly placed the Jötunheim tower into the realm between realms, and return it back to Midgard.
- Once entering the Bifrost, they realize that the tower has no crystal, and will need both of Mimir’s eyes to enter the land of the giants.
- Going to the Dwarves, they learn that the eye was in the statue that the world serpent ate earlier.
- Mimir speaks with Jörmungandr, and he allows them to enter his stomach to collect the eye, and do so before being launched out unexpectedly.
Being returned to Thamur’s corpse, they meet Freya, who is looking for her son (stating the woods speak of him on Midgard). Baldur reveals himself, stating that he knew upsetting the snake would get them out in the open. After seeing his mother, Baldur attempts to attack her, but Kratos and Atreus battle him.
When caught in Freya’s plants, Atreus protects his father from Baldur, who punches the child into the chest. The mistletoe on Atreus’ strap breaks Baldur’s curse, causing Freya to control Thamur and send the group to the other side of the land. Atreus and Kratos continue their fight against Baldur, and beat him and Freya with the aid of Jörmungandr.
Atreus reminds his father that he is beaten, and leaves until Baldur begins to choke Freya. Kratos kills Baldur, causing Freya to swear vengeance despite Atreus stating he saved her life. Atreus then learns that Kratos came from Sparta, and admits that he sole his life to a god, and killed his father Zeus.
- Atreus responds by revealing that he saw the phantom in Hel, and questions is that being a god is killing mothers and fathers.
- After Kratos reconciles this belief that they can be better, the two return to the Bifrost and open the gate to Jötunheim.
- Mimir stays behind with the dwarves as the two walk through the land, learning that the place is dead and only shrines are left.
Atreus touches a wall, which reveals that Faye was a giant, and planned the entire journey with other shrines showing the duo fighting Baldur, and doing the stonemason. Making to the top of the peak, the two spread Faye’s ashes, but Atreus questions why the shrines kept calling him “Loki”, and learns that his mother wanted to name him that.
- Returning back to the Bifrost, the two learn that Fimbulwinter has begun, constant snow for three summers that will kick off Ragnarok.
- In addition, Mimir reveals that Freya came to him to find where Odin stored her Valkyrie wings, and states that the cycle of vengeance will continue.
- After the journey, the trio return home and rest, with Atreus stating he’s sleeping through winter.
He then has a vision of him, Kratos, and Mimir being confronted by Thor, the god of Thunder. Waking in present day, and warns his father of the dream, but Kratos states that they will wait tomorrow and train today. If the game is 100%, Atreus and Kratos will go the other realms, free three dragons, and save the Valkyrie’s from Odin’s corruption, and defeat the Sigrun, the Valkyrie Queen.

Why did Kratos say boy so much?
God of War Ragnarok: The Important Use of ‘Boy’ – 
Thor calls Kratos “Boy” in the initial boss fight Kratos yells out “Boy” when Atreus runs away Brok says “boy style” when on Kratos’ back Thor calls Atreus “Boy” when he is drunk
To get it out of the way, Brok will use the word as a joke at one point in the game. This is just a simple reference to God of War 2018, while Thor will call Kratos “boy” in his initial boss fight. This is used to discourage Kratos, though it doesn’t exactly accomplish that, but Thor is suggesting the experience between them is vastly different.
Thor is basically belittling Kratos as a god, and it serves as showing how Thor and Kratos are two sides of the same coin in God of War Ragnarok, This is obviously more malicious than how Kratos used it with Atreus, but it serves an important purpose: the use of Boy in the franchise is mostly familial but also an indicator of experience differences.
The other two uses are far more important. When Atreus runs away from Sindri’s house, Kratos stands at the door and shouts “Boy” at the top of his lungs. Here, it can be argued that it’s largely due to Atreus’ inexperience and rash decision-making, but the familial ties are far more important.
- Atreus is setting out on a path that scares Kratos, something that he doesn’t think Atreus is ready for or should do, and it’s an emotionally heart-breaking sequence.
- It sets the emergency and tone that follows, but this single use of it by Kratos throughout the entirety of God of War Ragnarok shows how important Atreus is to him.
Finally, God of War Ragnarok ‘s Thor will call Atreus “Boy” when he—the former—is drunk at a bar. Atreus protests and is quite angry by the word, but it also goes a long way in establishing the parallels between Atreus and Thor. What’s ultimately clear is how important the word “boy” is in God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarok.
With this major usage shift, that’s only reinforced and goes even further in showing Kratos’ relationship with Atreus and how Atreus operates with the surrounding gods. Indeed, in Ragnarok, Atreus earns the respect of his father, proves worthy of his namesake, and forges his own identity as a warrior, distinct from his father.

Why does Kratos not tell his son?
How God of War Explains Atreus’ Sickness – 
At first glance, it may appear as though God of War didn’t properly address what was making Atreus sick – but there is an explanation. For the majority of the game, Kratos is haunted by his past. He’s afraid to tell his son what he did to his own family before coming to the Norse universe, and as such, this also prevents him from telling Atreus that he’s really Loki – and a half-god.
By the end of God of War, however, Kratos can see how much holding back the truth is harming his son. Not only was it making Atreus defiant, and pushing the father and son away from each other, but it was physically taking a toll on the boy. Since Atreus couldn’t understand his powers, he wasn’t able to control them.
All the Greek Gods after fighting Kratos
He also believed he was a mortal and had come to despise the gods, not realizing he was one of them. The inner turmoil and lack of ability to control his powers made them overwhelming, particularly when he started feeling enraged, causing Atreus to be sick in God of War,
Ratos, on the other hand, was trained like a Spartan in childhood. This means he would’ve had the proper training on how to control his powers, particularly his Spartan rage, and thus wouldn’t become as sick as his son did. Players will notice that once Kratos tells Atreus where he comes from, Atreus no longer feels sick, but is rather able to tap into his godly powers when the moment calls for it, potentially leading to some exciting gameplay and combat for God of War Ragnarök,
When Kratos and Atreus finally get to Jotunheim, with Atreus now fully aware of who his father is, it’s revealed that he’s not half-god, half-mortal like was believed. Rather, it becomes clear to the father and son that Faye was actually a giant, making God of War’s Atreus half-god, half-giant.
It’s also revealed in God of War’s ending that the giants call Atreus by the name Loki, which Kratos said his mother originally wanted to call him, thereby solidifying Atreus’ place in Norse mythology and paving the way for the events in God of War Ragnarök, So, while Atreus’ sickness may be perplexing for the majority of God of War, it does provide an explanation that ties into the boy’s secret identity and explains why Atreus was so sick at the beginning of the game.

What are the scars on Atreus face?
Home Gaming News God of War Fan Points Out Interesting Similarity Between Kratos and Atreus
A God of War Ragnarok player notices a curious detail regarding Kratos’ son Atreus that doesn’t have an obvious explanation. 
A God of War Ragnarok player recently drew attention to a detail regarding Atreus’ scars that has been a source of much confusion going back to 2018’s God of War, There are many interesting details about both Kratos and Atreus. Obviously, players have spent a lot of time with Kratos and know the story behind many of his features, including his pale skin and face markings.
Atreus is more of a mystery, however, with God of War Ragnarok players having to fill in the gaps in his backstory themselves. The tattoo on Kratos’ face and head was a significant plot device in the original God of War trilogy, though in the first game it was likely just cosmetic. Starting in God of War: Ghost of Sparta a prophecy regarding the “marked warrior” destroying Olympus was retconned in.
This led to Ares and Athena capturing Deimos, Kratos’ brother, for his facial birthmark. Kratos would then tattoo his face in a similar design to Deimos’ birthmark in his brother’s memory. What Reddit user Fancy_Fuel15 notices is that Atreus has a pattern of scars over his left eye that’s eerily reminiscent of Kratos’ face tattoo,
- That is, Atreus’ scars look like a line moving from above his eye to his temple, and then below his eye toward his jaw.
- The implication is that the scars were a result of Kratos’ tattoo due to one reason or another.
- There is, however, no canon explanation for Atreus scars, so only the developers at Santa Monica Studio know the truth.
To be clear, the scars over Atreus’ eye are not new in God of War Ragnarok, They were there in the 2018 God of War reboot, too. There are even similar threads on Reddit from God of War fans asking if the scars are related to Kratos’ tattoo. If Atreus appears in a future game, more questions could arise regarding his scars.
Theories regarding the scars are surprisingly similar, shared between players of both God of War and God of War Ragnarok, The leading theories include the possibility of Deimos’ birthmark being genetic and Atreus’ scars being related, as well as possible self-scarification as a young Atreus was trying to look more like his father.
Alternatively, it’s just a coincidence, and Atreus got his scars in an accident or fight. That there’s no answer to the question of Atreus’ scars is probably for the best. Not everything needs to have a backstory, nor does it need to serve a purpose in the plot.
It simply gives Atreus more personality and hints that there’s been more to his life than what’s seen in the God of War games. It makes the games richer through an absence of an explanation. It would be pretty interesting if Atreus ended up being Deimos reborn or something, though. Maybe Santa Monica Studio has that planned for the future.
