Many players are wondering whose soul is in the Knife of Atreus in God of War Ragnarok. While playing, you may have noticed that his knife feels a little different. And when you get to the later part of the story, you will know why. So, in this guide, find out whose soul is in the Knife of Atreus in GoW Ragnarok.
Whose soul is in Atreus’ knife in God of War Ragnarok?
Atreus’ knife contains Fenrir’s soul. Before we get into the details, there are a few spoilers ahead. You must complete at least 15 minutes to half an hour of the initial part of the game. As for spoilers related to the mid and late game, I won’t explain them in detail. So, if you’ve all made it through the good part of the game, here’s what you should know about the Atreus knife.
At the start of the game, Freya attacks Kratos and Atreus. After the duo manage to escape her, they reach the point where Fenrir dies in Atreus’ arms. And in the last moments of the wolf, Atreus utters a few words. “Sofna, upp fra dessu, sofna hedon, sofna, sofna, sofna…”. And while he repeats these words, we see how the eyes of the wolf turn white and begin to glow. In the end, we see how the soul leaves the body of the wolf. It is divided into 4 fragments. While all three are swimming away, one of the pieces gets inside the Knife of Atreus. And with him, the wolf.
You need to know that it wasn’t just a miracle. Atreus learns from an NPC that he used this spell on Fenrir. This allows the caster to take the soul and store it in some object.
