Kratos' Throne Room, (originally known as Ares' Throne Room) was the chamber on Mount Olympus where the God of War would reign, watching over all conflicts in their homeland. The throne used to belong to Ares, firstborn son of Zeus and Hera. However, after he was slain by Kratos, he took the throne for himself and would reign as the new God of War for the next thirteen years, until unfortunate circumstances caused him to ultimately seek to destroy all of Olympus.

God of War[]

That Throne Room could be seen at the end of God of War as Ares' old chamber. Within it were the Statue of Ares, the Hydra's head above the throne, and the Statue of Pandora's Guardian. By destroying the two statues a Secret Message could be unlocked, which displayed a phone number to call. The statues, along with the Hydra skin behind the throne, were most likely a reminder of the most challenging enemies that Kratos faced to become the new God of War.

In the Secret Message, it was noted that a room that contained Ares' soul was held in the Throne Room that was invisible to all but Kratos.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta[]

In Ghost of Sparta, Kratos' Throne Room was redesigned, and the Statues of Ares, Pandora's Guardian, and the Hydra were no longer present.

God of War II[]

In God of War II, Kratos' Throne Room was again redesigned, but fit Kratos' personality. It was also much larger and there was a place where Kratos kept much of his weapons and anything else that he had collected from the previous game as seen in the Treasures Option of the aforementioned game.

The Throne of War

Kratos' Throne was located on Olympus, and served as his vantage point over all of Greece. The throne was flanked by a statue of Ares and Pandora's Guardian respectively on either side, and had the Hydra Skin adorned behind it. Kratos could be seen sitting on it as he watched over the Siege of Rhodes, with concubines by his side. At that point, the throne was also decorated with the skulls of fallen foes. He also changed its arm rests to demonic faces with curling horns.

The Throne reappears in Valhalla as symbolism for a position that Kratos is considering taking up again given Freya's proposition for a council dedicated to peace in order to replace the warmongering ways of Odin's reign as the "All-Father". Initially, Kratos rejects the symbol and refers to it as a "seat of monsters", seeing it as a perfect symbol of how he was after stealing office from Ares and hitting his lowest point as a former Olympian himself. However, by talking with both Mimir and Týr, they told him that the throne itself was a matter of perspective: that both the seat and office were only as much as he, the occupant, brought to them - saying that a symbol shouldn't be rejected or destroyed, but instead reclaimed and redefined.

At the end of his journey of self-discovery in Valhalla, Kratos finally speaks to his younger self who sits on the throne of war and accepts his past after which an old tattered throne appears in place of the Greek throne on which Kratos decides to sit accepting Freya's offer to become God of War of the Norse lands.

Trivia[]

  • The statue of Ares and the Pandora's Guardian in the throne room can be destroyed, though it would take 400 hits. When each of them gets destroyed, several numbers can be discovered. If put together, they are revealed to be phone numbers: (888) 447-5564 and 1 888–447–5. If dialed through one of them, those that dialed the number on their phone can hear a secret message from Kratos himself while the other secret message for the other phone number features both Kratos and game director David Jaffe himself.
