Quotes 

• [Kratos, Atreus and Mimir travel into the Midgard Serpent's gullet] 

  Mimir : Well, brothers, I've been to many strange places, but this will be a new one.

  Atreus : Heh... yeah, I've never been in a giant's belly, either. How about you, father?

  Kratos : Never one that was not trying to eat me.

  Mimir : We really should expect that sort of response at this point...

• Mimir : I'm dangling from the hip of the bloody Ghost of Sparta!

  Kratos : Do NOT call me that.

  Mimir : Don't mistake me, brother. From what I heard, the pantheon had it coming. But it's still a bit to take in. I knew you hate gods, but you really can't stay away from them, can you?

  Kratos : You must say nothing to the boy. He must never know.

  Mimir : Bollocks, brother! Respectfully, bollocks. He has to know. He'll never be whole without the truth. Look, I get it: you hate the gods, ALL gods. It's no accident that includes yourself. And it includes your boy, don't you see that? He feels that. He can't help what he is - he can't begin to help it, because you haven't even told him! It's all connected, man.

  Kratos : You... will tell him nothing.

  Mimir : Very well.

• Mimir : [looks at his decapitated body]  Well, that's a sight no man should ever see. Thanks for that.

• Mimir : Aye... so you value your privacy more than your son?

  Kratos : I'm going to cut off your head now.

  Mimir : Fair enough.

  [Kratos cuts off Mimir's head] 

• Mimir : In fact, we would do well to sit here in silence for the next few moments and reflect on Odin's capacity for cruelty.

  [long pause] 

  Mimir : And so...

  Kratos : Reflect longer.

• Mimir : Ah, a sgian dubh from my homeland. Used to have one of my own back in the day.

  [to Atreus] 

  Mimir : You should take it, boy.

  Kratos : Yes, boy. Take it. We may need to butter bread somewhere on our travels.

  Mimir : [to Kratos]  This is why no one likes you.

• Mimir : [after discovering that the witch of the woods is the goddess Freya]  Some people value their privacy. Best not to judge, brother.

  Kratos : When I require your counsel, head, I will ask.

  Mimir : Fair enough.

• [Kratos walks through Hel] 

  Zeus : [appears]  Kratos.

  Kratos : Zeus...

  Mimir : Zeus?

  Kratos : My father...

  Mimir : Your father was Zeus? That explains a lot.

  [Zeus fades away] 

  Kratos : [to Mimir]  What is that place?

  Mimir : NEVER go there. Understand?

• Atreus : Hey Sindri, have you met Mimir?

  Sindri : If you mean the severed head that keeps blinking at me, please keep it away. There is no possible way that's hygienic.

  Mimir : Ach, that's nice. Lovely to see you too, Sindri!

  [pause] 

  Mimir : Knob.
