God of War Ragnarok: You haven't seen The Last of Tyr in Niflheim
Meeting the real Tyr in Niflheim in Ragnarok left more questions than answers, but luckily there are other places to chat with the Norse god of war.
[Warning: The following article contains spoilers for God of War Ragnarok.]
Tyr can be found outside of Niflheim after completing Ragnarok. After the match, players can lead Kratos through the Nine Realms and learn how everyone, including Therud, Sif, and Hildisweeney, dealt with the aftermath of Ragnarok. Tyr can also be found in the remains of the Aesir Prison that fell from Asgard into Niflheim.
^ The meeting with Tyr, the god of war from Norse mythology, is highly anticipated in the story of Ragnarok. Knowing that Odin had been defeated and peace was being restored to the Nine Realms, Tyr fell into deep thought. While he's happy to see Freya and Mimir again, it's clear that Tyr's time in prison has caused him to reflect on the nature of war itself. However, neither Kratos nor the player was given any further insight, as Till abruptly left shortly after being released. Thankfully, Tyr can be interacted with more by finding him in various locations throughout the game.
After freeing Tyr, players can now find him in every other realm of Ragnarok, contemplating the sacrifices made in Ragnarok. in the sparks of muspelheim In the world, Tyr sat cross-legged, gazing into the void left by Surt's sacrifice. Kratos explained the events of Ragnarok, and despite leaving behind a sad Simmara, Tyr wanted Surt to find peace in death. In the strong area of Alfheim, Tyr assumed a stoic thinking pose. He laments the temporary peace that Frey has established and wishes to have time alone to honor Frey's sacrifice—an understandable reaction given the magnitude of the events he missed.

In other areas, Tyr looks at the achievements of Kratos and his allies as the player completes the main story of God of War Ragnarok. In Svartalheim, Tyr kneels in front of a watchtower overlooking the whale that Kratos had previously freed. He praised Kratos for this move, noting the importance of symbolically releasing the Beast, even though it chose to stay. In Vanaheim, Tyr does tai chi at Freyr's camp while acknowledging Freya's role in uniting Vanir against Odin. Tyr believed that Freya's devotion to Vanaheim had created an unbreakable bond between her people, turning the tide of battle, though initially returning to them in disgrace.

In other realms of God of War, Tyr remains silent. In Midgard, Tyr can be found near Jotunheim Tower struggled to understand what was happening. Both his statue and the gate to Jotunheim were destroyed in Ragnarok, and Tyr needed time to deal with the problem alone. In the realm of Helheim in Ragnarok, Tyr makes communicative gestures to Hel, the great bird of Hel's Perch. While he didn't speak verbally, Freya told Kratos that Tyr must have been talking to Hale - presumably to thank her for her help in Ragnarok. Since both Tyr and Hel are giants, the two have a special bond.
The fact that Tyr received so much attention after the game may indicate that he will play a larger role in the God of War sequel. The range of cultures represented by Tyr's various animations and poses refer to his backstory, in which Tyr has traveled to faraway lands and even other myths. Perhaps Tyr will act as Kratos' shepherd, guiding him to a new land with a different pantheon. Given that Tyr is as much a god of war as Kratos, perhaps he and his Greek counterpart will embark on a journey to bring peace to all other lands after the events of Ragnarok, the god of war.
