Kratos will rip out Atlas' ballsack with his pinky in the cutscenes but needs to solve a dumbass puzzle to open a door he can't break. Everything on this game was made to pad out the run time which was also true to the first, but this one is a constant reminder that you are playing a slightly more refined GoW1 with less iconic bosses, worse level design and writing for 10 hours to undo the first half our of the game's events. It's probably the most inconsequential story ever made for a video game.
