"God of War Raganarok" begins with Kratos and Atreus heading home after spreading the ashes of Faye (the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus) on the highest mountain in Jotunheim. Fimbulwinter has brought on prolonged cold temperatures so the two utilize their wolves to pull them on a sled through the snow.
