God of War Ragnarok Odin’s Ravens locations guide: Where to find all 48

God of War Ragnarök re-introduces the obnoxious, chirping Odin’s Ravens from God of War (2018). There are 48 total Odin’s Ravens in Ragnarök, scattered throughout most of the game’s nine explorable realms.

Unlike the first game, however, you don’t collect Odin’s Ravens simply for the sake of collecting Odin’s Ravens. No, every vivid green bird you track down contributes toward an ongoing side-quest called “The Eyes of Odin.” In Niflheim, there are six chests that hold special items and can only be opened when you’ve killed a certain number of Odin’s Ravens.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to find all of Odin’s Ravens in God of War Ragnarök and complete “The Eyes of Odin” quest.

Notification: This guide will show you all the Odin’s Ravens you can get during your first visits to Svartalfheim and Alfheim. As you might expect, you’ll be back to both of these locations later in the game and be able to access previously inaccessible areas with new equipment. If you reach the end of one of the sections in this guide and still notice you’re missing an Odin’s Raven or two, it means you simply can’t get it yet. We’ll update this guide to include information about the rest of the game’s Ravens by the time you can reach them.

Tips for hitting Odin’s Ravens

If you played God of War (2018), you know that Odin’s Ravens are a big pain in the ass to take down. They can be difficult to find and strike for giant glowing birds. These birds can be found in the following: God of War Ragnarök, you’re in for more of the same in this regard. Two quick tips will help make things a bit easier.

Listen close for a raven’s caw

Odin’s Ravens seem to be a bit louder this time around, and are much easier to find with your ears than before. If you’re hunting for ravens (first, we recommend you consult our helpful images and descriptions below!) Your ears are more important than your eyes. The shrill chirp of the ravens usually means they’re somewhere where you can see them. Be sure to keep your eyes open and listen for the sounds if they are nearby.

You can always come back later

The battle for ravens does not end with finding them. God of War RagnarökYou actually need to strike the suckers. By design, the Leviathan Axe can be slow and heavy. It’s great for cutting up baddies, but it is not great at sniping birds while they fly through the air. If you’re having trouble hitting a bird who’s flying or far away, we have some advice: wait and remember.

We won’t spoil anything for you, but about halfway through the game you’ll unlock a tool that will make killing these ravens significantly easier if they’re either flying or are far away. You can bookmark the guide to help you remember where ravens are and return when that tool is available.

Niflheim

Niflheim is home to a big white tree filled with ravens, which is where all of Odin’s Ravens go when you destroy them in the other realms. As you progress through the raven quest, you’ll be able to open more and more chests, each with their own goodies.

We’ve listed out the six chests below, how many ravens you’ll need to open them, and what rewards you’ll earn from each one.

Chests

6 Ravens – Girdle of Raven Tears
12 Ravens-Bracers of Raven Tears
18 Ravens-Cuirasso of Raven Tears
28 Ravens-Breath of Thamur Heavy Ranic Attack
38 Ravens Meteoric Slam Heavy Runic Attack
48 Ravens: The Finger of Ruin: Heavy Runic Attack

Svartalfheim

Svartalfheim refers to the land of the Dwarves. God of War Ragnarök, and the first area you’ll encounter Odin’s Ravens. There are 13 total Ravens here, but you’ll only be able to access nine on your first visit to the realm.

Aurvangar Wetlands Raven

The first Odin’s Raven in Svartalfheim is located in the Aurvangar Wetlands, almost immediately after you leave the Mystic Gateway.

After you have left the Gateway, enter the map and move to the right until you find a small campsite. While facing the camp, turn right and you’ll see the Odin’s Raven perched atop a volcanic rock. Use your Leviathan Axe to take it out.

Nidavellir raven

There is only one Raven in the dwarven city of Nidavellir, and it’s in the town square with the statue of Odin — meaning you’ll need to backtrack if you use the Nidavellir Mystic Gateway.

In the town square, to the left of Sindri’s shop, you’ll see Odin’s Raven perched on the house with the waterwheel on it, sitting comfortably above the blue awning.

The Watchtower

The Watchtower — the dividing island in the Bay of Bounty — houses another one of Odin’s Ravens, which you can actually see on your boat ride over.

Make your way up to The Watchtower and walk behind it to the deck — the same location where the Draugr Hole is. You will then be able to see Nidavellir from there. Eventually, you’ll see the green Odin’s Raven fly into view. You can take aim, and then kill the bird with an ax.

Radsvinn’s Rig raven

Just across the way from The Watchtower, on the same island, you’ll find Radsvinn’s Rig, home to another Odin’s Raven.

You will find the Nornir Chest to your left, just past the Mining Rig. The giant crane supports the hook. Look to your left and up. The Odin’s Raven will be lounging on the hook ready for your ax to destroy it.

Althjof’s Rig raven

Another of the Bay of Bounty’s many Odin’s Ravens is sitting at the entrance of Althjof’s Rig.

When you park your boat at the third rig site, climb the chain and you’ll spot the Raven immediately — it’s sitting behind some cracked wood. Grab your ax, and you can silence it.

Lyngbakr Island raven

Once you raise the Lyngbakr during “The Weight of Chains” side-quest, you’ll be able to access another of Odin’s Ravens.

Progress the side quest until you’re able to access the fire bombs (just after liberating the second fin). Take the explosive you have just gotten and open the gate in front of the fire bombs. Continue on the right, carrying the explosive. You’ll come across some golden rocks. Then, break the rocks and grab onto the other side. To the right of the nearby Legendary Chest, you’ll find a hole. You can crawl through it.

To your left, you will see the hole on the opposite side. You’ll spot one of Odin’s Ravens chilling out on the Lyngbakr’s back, which really makes you wonder how long these things can hold their breath.

The Forge raven

The Forge has two Odin’s Ravens, but you’ll only be able to reach one on your first visit. You can ride the train up to stop at any time.

As soon as you’ve entered The Forge, follow the path until the volcanic rock is on your left. Wait on this walkway until you see the familiar green hue of Odin’s Raven come swooping in. Take it out with your ax before moving along to the next area, as you won’t be able to come back here and get it until much later in the game.

Jarnsmida Pitmines raven

Once you reach Jarnsmida Pitmines for the first time, once you’ve killed all the enemies, search for a rope that can be climbed down to move onto the next area. Climb the chain and you’ll reach a lower section of the mine with an Artifact and some strange fungus.

Take the Artifact, part of the Things Left Behind Collection. Look out over the bay towards the distant cranes. You’ll see one of Odin’s Ravens flying around. Use your ax to smash it.

This Raven must be obtained before entering The Applecore. If you don’t, you won’t get another chance until much later in the game.

Applecore raven

The Applecore is the final area in Svartalfheim — at least on your first visit — and it’s where you’ll rescue Tyr, the Norse god of war. Continue on the same path as before until you come to a place where Atreus and you must separate. When you reach the other side, you should see a door on your right — which leads to Tyr — and an area for you to sidle along the wall to your left.

If you continue looking left past the sidle wall, you’ll see the Raven perched on some broken wood. You can kill it using your ax. (If you’re coming through the mine the opposite direction — which you will be if you miss this Raven the first time around — you’ll be facing it as you enter this area.)

Like The Forge and the Pitmines, if you miss this Odin’s Raven you won’t be able to get it until much later in the game.

Alfheim

Alfheim is the second big realm you’ll be able to explore in God of War Ragnarök. There are a total of 10 Odin’s Ravens here, but you’ll only be able to destroy the first six on your first visit.

The Strond raven

Once you have entered Alfheim via The Strond’s Mystic Gateway, continue up the hill to the Temple of Light. Follow the path up until you reach a high point in a canyon with a little circle on the ground — near the Nornir Chest.

After you have dropped down, continue walking until you arrive at a large rock bridge with a view of the Temple of Light. In the distance, you’ll see a dead tree. There’s an Odin’s Raven sitting on it, so kill it with your ax.

Temple of Light raven 1

Keep going through the Temple of Light, until you get to the Light of Alfheim. After you reach the Temple of Light, make a left onto the spiral staircase. Continue up the spiral staircase for a short distance and jump to your left as quickly as possible. You’ll find yourself in a small area with an Artifact, a Legendary Chest, and one of Odin’s Ravens.

Once you have landed, move forward to the right and then around the corner. You’ll find the Odin’s Raven sitting behind a metal gate. You won’t be able to use the purple crystal above the Raven to hit it, so don’t even try.

Look to your right and you will see the purple crystal in the column. Position Kratos so that the blue line becomes visible. Once you’re in position, chuck your ax and it’ll kill the Raven.

Temple of Light raven 2.

Continue through the Temple of Light — just past the Nornir Chest — until you reach a circular platform with the Light of Alfheim poking up through it. The Light Elves will be killed. You can then continue forward. You’ll see a staircase flanked with purple crystals on either side. Stop.

Look to your left and you’ll see one of Odin’s Ravens perched on a distant building. Throw your ax at it to clear the Temple of Light of Odin’s creatures.

Canyons raven

Turn left at The Canyon after you have sent Tyr home through the mystic portal. Follow the path until you reach Sindri’s shop.

Once you’ve arrived at the shop, look right toward the wooden gate barring you from a rocky side area. You’ll see one of Odin’s Ravens flying around. Use your ax to kill the bird.

Barrens raven

Move to The Barrens’ giant skeleton, located in the upper-right corner. Park your sled on the right side of the beast’s skull and get out.

Aim up toward the creature’s eye socket. You’ll see Odin’s Raven just sitting there. It can be killed with an ax.

Barrens raven 2

Ride your sled to the little elven temple on the left side of The Barrens, but don’t go inside the area.

Your sled should be parked to your left near the gate which leads into the second half of Alfheim. (Which you can’t open on your first trip). You’ll notice a dead tree sticking out of the side of a rock — and, perched on the trunk, one of Odin’s Ravens. You can smash it.
