Overview

This video is a theory breakdown of God of War: Ragnarok / Laufey content, focusing on:

  • Why Faye (Fey) picked up a strange sword
  • How Faye dies
  • What the mysterious realm “Everywhen” actually is

Main Plot / Core Mysteries

Why Faye grabbing the sword matters

The host argues the sword isn’t a normal weapon. It’s presented as the “strangest most lethal” item in the God of War franchise, and it’s key to understanding Faye’s fate.

How Faye died

Faye is shown waking up in Everywhen, saying she never got the chance to say goodbye—suggesting her death happened suddenly, despite the Giants’ supposed foresight.

Where “Frank” comes from & what Everywhen is

  • Everywhen is framed as an afterlife/realm connected to gods and magic.
  • “Frank” is mentioned as another mystery introduced in earlier content, though its meaning remains unclear in the video.

Big Theory #1: Faye + the Mask of Creation → Everywhen

The host proposes:

  1. Faye died attempting to destroy/scatter the Mask of Creation (or a similar mask)
    • The goal would be to prevent Odin from regaining it.
  2. Only Loki can translate the mask’s writing
    • The host claims Loki was taught those languages by Laufey/Faye beforehand.
  3. Faye being found with a shard of wood is treated as evidence she had a mask fragment
    • This ties her death to mask-related magic.

What Everywhen is (and why it’s messy)

The video argues Everywhen isn’t a simple “gods-only heaven”:

  • Gods
  • Magic users
  • Legendary beings
  • Even soldiers

all appear there.

The host theorizes Everywhen may be:

  • A temporary bridge or containment space for beings who haven’t fully “crossed over” yet.
  • A realm with a sealed gateway that might allow souls to return to the living.
  • A place where powerful figures are trying to force that gateway open.

Highlights / Villain-Like Activity in Everywhen

Ominous gameplay details are used as evidence:

  • Powerful beings are rounding up magic users and mystical objects
  • They drain blood from magical creatures into barrels
    • The host interprets this as harvesting valuable magic, because Everywhen is described as tied to the birthplace of magic
  • The host frames the behavior as very “God of War”-style:
    • stubborn
    • ruthless
    • willing to seize control of a chaotic domain

Phranque + Rue + the Cube (“Metatron’s Cube”) Debate

  • A blue cube is discussed, with internet speculation that it’s Christianity-related
  • The host rejects a narrow reading and instead connects the cube to Plato’s Theory of Forms
    • where geometry symbolizes a deeper “true reality”

Phranque’s role

Phranque is interpreted as a stabilizing guiding figure—calming Faye and helping her regain unstable magic.

  • The host likens this to a “guiding angel”
  • The intended destination is framed as rest/oblivion, with a quick wording mix-up corrected immediately.

The Sword: What It Really Is and Why It Terrifies Enemies

The video emphasizes:

  • The sword has ancient script with no clear Norse/Greek origin
  • A serpent/dragon motif (plus Rue’s background) makes some assume Chinese mythology
    • the host argues that’s incorrect

Sword candidates considered

The host considers and dismisses:

  • Sword of Vishnu (Nandaka)
  • Excalibur

Both are said to not quite match the sword’s apparent role in the game.

Final Sword Theory: A “Necrosword”-Style Curse

The host argues the sword is modeled after Marvel’s Necrosword (Knull lore):

  • It doesn’t just empower the wielder—it feeds on/corrupts them
  • Characters appear afraid when it shows up
  • It’s locked away not by “chosen one” logic
    • the host claims the access rules don’t fit (Rue can’t control it; Phranque can’t simply take it)

Instead, it’s framed as a “Story-Killer” weapon:

  • It could erase gods from reality
  • The host predicts the sword’s curse will ultimately consume Laufey from the inside
    • draining her magic until she disappears forever

Ending Hook / Emotional Payoff Question

The video ends with a direct question:

  • Will Laufey get a happy ending, or will she be erased/disappear as the curse completes its work?

Key Jokes / Standout Lines (as Reactions)

  • Repeated framing of the theory process as serious vs. “at least making theories”
  • Mocking common assumptions, including:
    • “jelly cube” sword access logic
    • correcting the internet’s Christianity cube speculation
    • dismissing Chinese mythology guesses
  • A brief slip where the host mixes up the intended “peace/oblivion” destination, then quickly corrects it
