Jötnar Shrines

Find 11 Jötnar Shrines as you play through the Journey and optional content. Atreus makes sense of the scenes displayed on the board and summarizes them in the journal. Select Lore from the Codex Tab to read his entries. There are different banter and Journal entries if Mimir is with Kratos and Atreus. Earn 615 XP per shrine, and collect 1880 XP once all 11 have been discovered.
