God of War Laufey: 5 Secret Lore Facts You Need to Know
- Laufey is actually Faye, Kratos’ wife and Atreus’ mother—her real name was hidden to protect the family from Odin’s all-seeing ravens.
- She was a legendary Frost Giant, making Atreus a half-Giant hybrid, which explains his prophetic visions and shape-shifting abilities.
- Laufey’s axe, the Leviathan Axe, was forged by the Huldra brothers specifically to counter Thor’s hammer Mjolnir before she met Kratos.
- She foresaw Kratos’ entire journey in the snowy wilderness and secretly marked the trees and paths to guide him through the realms.
- Her death was not natural—defiled shrines and Odin’s curse confirm she was assassinated by agents of Asgard for defying the Aesir’s genocide against the Giants.
