While many fans of God of War: Ragnarok are searching for collectibles, secret areas, or hidden lore in the game, few are asking more simple questions, such as how tall Kratos is. Kratos has incredible superhuman strength and is capable of facing legendary beings much larger than his body size. As a result, it can be tricky for players to estimate Kratos’s height in God of War: Ragnarok by solely using the environment around him, as the setting is naturally different from the real-life world. Nevertheless, many in the community have already speculated a solid estimate with concrete evidence to support their claim.
Measuring Kratos’s Height in God of War: Ragnarok
As an answer to fans’ inquiry about the protagonist’s height, Kratos is about 193 centimeters tall in God of War: Ragnarok. In terms of American measurement, this height converts to six feet and four inches, slightly taller than the average male in most countries, varying by diet and other environmental factors.

According to research by Twinfinite, Kratos’s height in God of War: Ragnarok is actually shorter than how tall he was in the previous titles of the franchise released before the 2018 reboot. Fans claim that Kratos used to be around seven foot and six inches but has since shrunk into the older and more mature variation he is now. This change was performed to give him more realistic proportions, making him a more believable character in the players’ eyes. Of course, one could argue that the world is completely fabricated from fairy tales and legends. However, it is likely the idea that Kratos can appeal as a character more “human” than “god,” which might help fans relate to and appreciate the beloved bearded protagonist of God of War: Ragnarok.
Fans get a clearer glimpse of Kratos’s height in comparison to other notable characters in God of War: Ragnarok when the towering Tyr appears, who is over eight feet tall. Of course, Kratos has taken down beasts and giants much larger than Tyr could ever be, so such an increase in height compared to his own is practically nothing worth his concern.
God of War: Ragnarok is available exclusively on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
