The Merciless Kratos: How Many People Has He Killed?
Kratos, the legendary Greek God of War, has killed an unprecedented number of individuals throughout his tumultuous existence. The question that continues to puzzle fans is how many people has Kratos slaughtered during his unyielding conquests. According to various sources, we’ll explore the gruesome estimate and dissect the numbers further.
Pre- God of War 1: Before embarking on a life of vengeance against Zeus and other gods, Kratos already had a brutal reputation. As a skilled warrior under the command of Ares, he left a trail of death in his wake. The games themselves rarely provide a numerical account, but fans speculate that this period may account for at least 10,000 to 50,000 deceased souls.
God of War (2005) to God of War 3: The main God of War series, covering from Kratos’ earliest struggles against the gods to his revenge against Zeus and his Olympian allies. According to various estimates:
• God of War (2005): 200-500 Titans, gods, and mortals.
• God of War II (2007): 400-1000 Demi-Gods, demons, and monsters.
• God of War 3 (2010): 5000-10000 Zeus’ loyalists, Atlanteans, and giants.
Combining these rough estimates yields a total count of around 7000-14,500 lives extinguished by Kratos during this period.
God of War: Chains of Olympus: The game’s story arc spans two years, between 12,000 B.C. and 12,000 B.C., during which 3000-6000 mercenaries, Titans, and demons fell at the blade of Kratos. Additional encounters may have taken this toll into the range of 12,000 to 20,000 total deaths.
God of War: Battle at Hera’s Gate (2022): A single battle that reportedly killed 100-400 people.
Adding Up the Numbers: Consider the below table, using a generous estimate of lower values, to grasp the scale of Kratos’ slaughter:
| Period/Event | Estimated Deaths | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pre- GoW 1 | 10,000 | Estimated lives lost as Kratos under Ares. |
| GoW, GOWII & 3 | 7000– 14,500 | Combining games from GoW (2005) to GoW 3 (2010). |
| GoW: Chains of Olympus | 12,000 – 20,000 | Estimates from GoW: CoO. |
| God of War (2022) | 100-400 | Single battle mentioned above. |
**The grand total, excluding this most recent event: 28,100-40,900 estimated deaths by Kratos.
When we include the mentioned 100-400 recent deaths, Kratos has 28,200-41,300 bodies on his résumé.
Keep in mind that these numbers remain approximate and may not entirely capture Kratos’ comprehensive destruction throughout his career.
Kratos’ brutality leaves little to no room for survivors. This staggering number gives you a glimpse into his insatiable craving for victory, tempered by an inherent ferocity that cannot be matched by any other anti-hero.
