Upon his failure, the Gods forced him to guard the temple's entrance and set fire to it the bodies of everyone who failed to conquer Pandora's Temple. Kratos asked Zeus to release Pandora, but Zeus refused and mocked Kratos' obsession with saving Pandora which was actually nothing more than an object. By the time of God of War III, Kratos is so blinded by rage and obsessed with killing Zeus that he does not notice, or care, that he is destroying entire Greece in his quest for revenge, coldly ignoring the warnings of Athena, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus himself that his murdering of the gods would bring about the end of life on the Grecian world. After defeating more enemies, the trio overhears voices of the demigods Modi and Magni. Without hesitation, they ask Brok and Sindri about it, but Sindri was unable to finish his part because of his germophobia, so Brok says that they stored Mimir's other eye in a vault in a statue of Thor; that which the World Serpent had eaten. After the fall of Ares, the Blades were never seen again, but Kratos was soon granted the similar Blades of Athena. In addition, while he admitted that he doesn't like it when Sindri talks about his brother, he was nevertheless absolutely disapproving and reprimanding of Atreus when he coldly told Sindri to shut up about it, even going as far as to look almost apologetic to the Dwarf.

Armed with this knowledge, Kratos reaches the horse Steeds of Time and realized that in order to control the horses, a special key, Horse, was needed Keeper's Key kept by the keeper of Theseus' horses. But only there, he realized that the soldier he wounded was the last Spartan he had previously commanded back to the city of Sparta.

Kratos thinks this is Athena's doing. It is also revealed that Faye originally wanted to name their son Loki, but Kratos preferred Atreus, which was the name of an honourable Spartan Comrade. As a result, Kratos is understandably angered by the revelation that Atreus has been sneaking out without his permission, even though, as the latter points out, he had been hypocritically keeping secrets from him for most of his life. The troll began to attack both father and his son, first, by grabbing the deer's dead corpse. He also noted that as the Valkyries are so strong, they are useful for his and Atreus' growth in skill.

In the Norse Realm, Kratos still maintains his resistance, able to take blows from Baldur and Thor along with falls of massive heights, though a full on hit from Mjlnir to Kratos' skull was actually able to make him fall unconscious (almost killing him) but Thor awaken him with the shock from his hammer. Watching the Basilisk move from place to place, climb the walls, and burning the city of Attica, Kratos chases him, but in the middle of this chase, he accidentally met the King of Persia who was threatening helpless women in prison cells. Stranded in the Underworld and now betrayed by both the Olympians and Titans, Kratos also then learned from the spirit of Athena, that he needed to find the Flame of Olympus, which is the key to defeating Zeus. Descending into the depths of the Underworld, Kratos meets Hephaestus, the God of Blacksmiths, who is in despair and blames Kratos for his exile to the Underworld. It was quite slow, but also did more damage to enemies than the Blades of Chaos.

Unknown to him, Atreus had already taken note of Kratos image on a piece of the broken vase on the floor. The magic power that came along with it was similar to Cronos' Rage. It was at this point that Gaia revealed her true colors- that she saw Kratos as nothing more than a pawn who had lost its usefulness and told Kratos that Zeus was no longer his concern, that was their war, not his, after which she purposely let him fall off the mountain into the underworld.
