How did Kratos get to Midgard in God of War Ragnarok?
God of War Ragnarok might've quelled a lot of questions from the previous installment, but the reason behind Kratos' arrival at Midgard remains unanswered. The series' shift from Greek mythology to Norse, although a bit jarring for veteran God of War fans, was intentional.
Developer Santa Monica Studio wanted to refresh the series with a soft-reboot, giving players a brand new mythological setting to explore while keeping Kratos' character intact.
With God of War Ragnarok being the final chapter in Kratos' Norse saga, fans were expecting to get a definite insight into his arrival in the Norse lands. However, there isn't one.
While there are a few hints throughout the story, which culminate towards a somewhat definite answer, nothing is concrete.
There is also a tie-in novella for 2018's God of War, written by J.M. Barlog, that sheds some light on how Kratos might've made his way to the Norse realms. However, it is also only surface-level information and nothing concrete.
Although neither God of War Ragnarok nor God of War (2018) specifically answers the question, there are plenty of clues to work with.
