God of War: Ragnarök guide – where to find all artifacts

We tell you how to find all the artifacts in the game and get the Antiquary achievement

There are several varieties of collectibles in God of War: Ragnarök, and artifacts are one of them. They are divided into certain sets, and in accordance with this classification they will be divided into separate sections in our guide. But if you collect all 38 artifacts, you can unlock the Antiquary achievement. Let’s figure out how to find them.

It is noteworthy that all the artifacts that you find in the game are hidden only in four worlds – Svartalfheim, Vanaheim, Alfheim and Midgard. And the details of many sets are found in only one world: “Abandoned Things” – in Svartalfheim, “Offerings to Freyr” and “Family Emblems” – in Vanaheim, “Stolen Treasures” – in Midgard. But the “Poems of Kvasir” are scattered across all four worlds.

How to find the “Abandoned Things” set

1. Svartalfheim, Marshes of Aurvanga. Armlet of Hreidmar (1/6). We swim to the indicated place until we run into a water wheel blocking the path further. We moor to the shore and find two geysers. Both need to be frozen. Be sure to climb the mountain on the right side to find a corpse with this artifact.
2. Svartalfheim, Nidavellir. Firebomb Grape (2/6). We pass inside the mine, located on the left side of the blacksmith shop of Sindri and Brock. After entering, we leave to the left side and look for another mine. We move deep into it and at the very end we find another artifact. He will lie on the ground.
3. Svartalfheim, Forge. If you left the Forge and went further along the storyline, you can return to this location at any time using the trolley at the mystical gate “Coast of Nidavellir”. Bari grenade (3/6). After leaving the trolley, we go down the wooden blind area and see a small ledge ahead. We climb onto it and go around the box, behind which lies another artifact.
4. Svartalfheim, Jarnsmead Mines. To return to the Yarnsmead Mines location after the storyline, you will have to teleport to the Core. We move to the mystical gates of the “Aurvang Swamp” and board the ferry leading to the Sands of Sverd. In this place there is an elevator that will take us straight to the Core. Following this route, we move back. We went here according to the plot, and we go the same way, but in the opposite direction, until we find ourselves in the mines of Yarnsmida. Sharpener Lofnheid (4/6). Having got to the desired location, according to the plot or after (according to the plot, we will get here after a trip on the second trolley), we move down and find water. We go down to the water, using the chain, and look for another artifact in this place.
5. Svartalfheim, Core. To re-enter the Core, we move to the mystical gates of the “Aurvanga Swamp” and board the ferry leading to the Sands of Sverd. In this place there is an elevator that will take us straight to the Core. Statuette of Altjof (5/6). In a room with a puzzle connected to the lift, we are looking for a passage that is blocked by a lot of debris. We throw the ax at the red burning jug, which will explode, clearing the way further. We move on, open a huge door and climb to the ledge on the left side. There lies the artifact.
6. Svartalfheim, Core. To re-enter the Core, we move to the mystical gates of the “Aurvanga Swamp” and board the ferry leading to the Sands of Sverd. In this place there is an elevator that will take us straight to the Core. Stone statue of Darin (6/6). When we find the first relic according to the plot of the game, we do not rush to go down the rope, but instead, when we move past the large door leading to the draugr pit, we cling to the ceiling with a hook and move to the other side. The hook point is near the waterfall. We ask Atreus to shoot at the accumulation of trash in the corner, and we select the last artifact from the set.

How to find the Poems of Kvasir set

1. Svartalfheim, Marshes of Aurvanga. Dawn window (1/14). When we get to the pier at the end of the level, we pull two chains that open the gate. Next to the second chain is a table on which lies the first poem.
2. Svartalfheim, Nidavellir. Large society of the sphere, spectacle (2/14). When we get to Nidavellir, the city of dwarves, we continue the story until Sindri hands Atreus sound (green) arrows. We return to the pier and blow up a bunch of trash on the left side of the pier to find a red chest. Next to it lies the second poem of Kvasir.
3. Svartalfheim, Lyngbackr Island. In order for Lyngbakra’s Isle to spawn, you’ll need to complete the “Heavy Chains” side quest related to Mimir. After that, we sail to the island from the south side and find the pier. This place is located next to a large geyser. We go through a side task to completely raise the island. Only then can we find Kvasir’s poem. One of the remaining, part two (3/14). When we break the chain from the first fin of Lungbackr, we climb up the chain. On the left side, you can climb a high wall that leads to the top. We move there and at the very end we find a red chest with the third poem of Kvasir.
4. Svartalfheim, Jarnsmead Mines. To return to the Yarnsmead Mines location after the storyline, you will have to teleport to the Core. We move to the mystical gates of the “Aurvang Swamp” and board the ferry leading to the Sands of Sverd. In this place there is an elevator that will take us straight to the Core. Following this route, we move back. We went here according to the plot, and we go the same way, but in the opposite direction, until we find ourselves in the mines of Yarnsmida. Tool and clang (4/14). We can find this poem at the end of the location. If we move along the plot, then at the right time, Sindri will give Kratos a lantern (turns on automatically). On the right side of the passage into the shaft connected to the Core, there is a place for blades. Use them and turn the water chute. Thanks to this, we will have a huge stone block in front of us. We climb onto it and freeze the water flow so that the block moves back with us. Thanks to this, we will be on the other side and will be able to pick up another poem by Kvasir.
5. Svartalfheim, Core. To re-enter the Core, we move to the mystical gates of the “Aurvanga Swamp” and board the ferry leading to the Sands of Sverd. In this place there is an elevator that will take us straight to the Core. Bloodied (5/14). In any case, you won’t be able to get this poem the first time you visit the location. You need the spear Draupnir, which you will receive after completing the story mission “Forge of Your Destiny”. Near the mystical gates of the “Marsh of Aurvanga”, we board the ferry and sail on it to the Sands of Sverd. There we find an elevator, on which we get to the Core. We move forward until we find another mystical gate. There is a rope near this gate. We get down on it down and follow through the tunnel ahead. At the very end, we throw a spear into the hole to climb up. We destroy a rock with a yellow spot by throwing a spear at it,

9. Alfheim, Plains. After completing the Secret of Groa story mission on the territory of the world of Alfheim, a huge hole will appear on the right side of the Strand mystical gate leading to the Canyons. Having overcome the Canyons, we will find ourselves on the huge Plains, where the side task “The Secret of the Sands” will automatically start. Before exploring the Plains, I strongly recommend that you go through this request: go down to the Dungeon and complete all the objectives to get rid of the sandstorm in the Plains territory. Heavenly construction (9/14). We move to the right side of this place (on the map) and find a hefty skeleton of some creature. We climb inside it and look for the legendary chest, near which the artifact is lying.
