Alfheim Ravens - God of War Ragnarok Guide - IGN (2024)

Odin’s Ravens are elusive specters that serve as Odin’s eyes and ears through the Nine Realms. When you reach certain milestones of Ravens hit, you’ll be able to unlock new Armor and Runic Attacks at The Raven Tree in Niflheim. This page of IGN’s Ragnarok guide reveals all Raven locations in Alfheim, the third realm you can visit.

The sections on this page are ordered by when you can visit them earliest in the game. Additionally, there are no Ravens in The Below.

Use the list below to jump to a specific region of Alfheim:

• The Strond
• Temple of Light
• The Canyons
• The Barrens
• The Forbidden Sands

The Strond - Odin’s Raven 1

The single Odin’s Raven in The Strond is located shortly before your first encounter with Twilight Stone. After climbing up the ledges early on and first catching sight of the Light of Alfheim, you’ll drop down a ledge and then run down a path to a circular doorway. To the left of this doorway is a dead tree, with the Raven perched on it.

Temple of Light - Odin’s Raven 1

This Raven can be found in a side-area just after Tyr jumps across some hanging panels to give you a way to cross a gap. Once you’re across, head right into a room with a Hacksilver Chest and a curved staircase.

Partway up this staircase will be a flat area, with a ledge on the left that you can drop down.

At the bottom, turn right to find a fork guarded by four Wretches: head right here to find the Raven hiding behind a grate. To hit the Raven, you’ll need to bounce the Axe off two Twilight Stones: one on the left-hand column, and another above the Raven. You’ll have to hit the bottom of the Twilight Stone while standing at the bottom of the ramp where the dead Light Elf is (like the screenshot above) in order to make the show.

Temple of Light - Odin’s Raven 2

The second Raven in the Temple of Light is found shortly after the bit where Kratos and Tyr push down two giant statues to form a Light Bridge. You’ll go past a Nornir Chest and then fight some Light Elves. Once you’re done, head for the curved stairs to the next room: here, look for a balcony off to your left with the Raven on it.

The Canyons - Odin’s Raven 1

This Odin’s Raven is found in the area after you climb up the cliff, where Sindri’s shop and the Gulon sled can be accessed. While it can be spotted from the earlier canyon, it’s better to climb up the cliff and then head right: you’ll see the Raven flying in a figure 8 path above a campfire.

The Barrens - Odin’s Raven 1

This Raven is found at the Elf building in the North of the Barrens, and just East of the large Elf gate. Look for a dead tree on the South-East rocks next to the building; the Raven will be perched in its branches.

The Barrens - Odin’s Raven 2

This Raven of Odin is found in the skull of the giant skeleton in the North-East area of The Barrens. Head to the East side of the skull, and you can find the Raven sitting within the skull’s eye socket.

The Forbidden Sands - Odin’s Raven 1

• Prerequisite: Complete the Song of the Sands Favor

This Raven is found just West of the dome where you free the Hafgufa: look for a long wooden fence with a ledge behind it. However, you cannot get there until you complete the Song of the Sands Favor to clear up the sand storm.

Once the storm is cleared, slip through the fence on the right-hand side, then leap up the ledge. You’ll arrive in a clearing full of Dark Elf corpses. The Lore Marker will be over on the left-hand side of the clearing.

The Forbidden Sands - Odin’s Raven 2

The second Raven in The Forbidden Sands is found in the North-West area of the desert, at the top of the light bridge leading down to the statue of Freyr. To have the best chance of striking it, stand at the top of the light bridge, then throw your Axe at the Raven as it curves around to the left.

The Forbidden Sands - Odin’s Raven 3

• Prerequisite: Complete the Song of the Sands Favor

This Odin’s Raven is found in a spot underground of The Elven Sanctum, however its entryway is blocked with sand until you clear the sandstorm in the Song of the Sands Favor.

Once you’ve completed that, head to the North-East corner of The Forbidden Sands to The Elven Sanctuary. Here, instead of leaping up to the top of the ledge, attack the broken section at the bottom: this reveals a space you can crawl through.

In the “basem*nt”, check the left-hand side of the area to spot the Raven flying about. There isn't really a spot where it curves and you can easily hit it, so you'll need to practice aiming at a specific spot of its path and throwing your Axe shortly before it passes by.

The Forbidden Sands - Odin’s Raven 4

This Raven of Odin is found just North-West of the entrance to The Forbidden Sands from The Hjarta tunnels. From the entrance, go North-West and head around the back side of the giant rock arch on your right. The Raven will be perched back here, although you will have to aim above it in order to hit it with the Axe.
