Trivia[]
- The Boy's Axe was added with v1.2, aka Rise of the Giant Update in March 2019.
- Given the name and item description, this is probably a reference to God of War (2018).
- The reference is that the main character Kratos keeps calling his son Atreus “Boy”, which has turned into a meme.
- The axe's design and function is also reminiscent of Kratos’ Leviathan Axe in the God of War game, except it actually freezes enemies instead of simply rooting them in place.
