A player in God of War Ragnarok recently uncovered a hidden dialogue from Heimdall if they choose to alter their equipment during the intense battle. It's important to note that this version of Heimdall, unlike the portrayal in the MCU, is depicted as an arrogant and disdainful character, making it easy for players to develop a strong dislike towards him.
God of War Ragnarok spoilers AHEAD! As a result, many players find great satisfaction in showing no mercy towards Heimdall during the boss fight in God of War Ragnarok. This particular battle with Heimdall involves a unique mechanic where players must utilize the Draupnir Spear to trigger secondary explosions and weaken the character. Once players figure out this strategy, the fight becomes relatively straightforward. However, those who decide to modify their equipment will be met with Heimdall's disapproval.
Heimdall's secret dialogue, revealed by Reddit user PredatorAvPFan in the clip below, adds an interesting element to the game. The voice actor's delivery effectively mocks the player, aligning with Heimdall's character and potentially fueling the player's dislike towards him. Additionally, this fourth-wall break serves as a humorous gameplay mechanic, as it is clear that Kratos is not actually changing costumes in front of Heimdall. This clever inclusion not only elicits a chuckle but also serves a purpose from a gameplay perspective. It telegraphs to players that their collection of powerful armor in God of War Ragnarok may not be advantageous in this particular fight. While this ties into a common complaint about the game's AI characters being too reactive and instructive, it also adds a touch of cockiness to Heimdall's character.
God of War Ragnarok, available for both PS4 and PS5, is filled with intricate details that add depth to its characters. A notable example is the portrayal of Thor, who is shown abstaining from alcohol in the game's opening as he is depicted as a recovering alcoholic. However, later in the story, he relapses for important reasons, effectively highlighting the significant role alcoholism plays within a family dynamic.
