The Eyes of Odin

Reward

There are 51 Ravens flying or perched around the environment in God of War. These guys are often hard to spot, but they make a distinct sound. Anytime you hear their call, look around the environment to find the bird. Hit each one with your axe to gain 100 XP. Dispatch 15, 30, and 51 to earn bonus XP, as stated in our accompanying table.

1 The River Pass

In the ruins, just after defeating the Heavy Draugr, find this Raven perched on a rock above the location of the two Projectile Draugr.

2 The River Pass

After the sand puzzle, follow the right path until you see daylight to the right. Sitting atop the uppermost rock is another Raven.

3 The River Pass

After meeting Brok and cutting through the two caves, just after finding the first boar tracks, you run into a Troll. A Raven is perched high above on the partial arch.

4 The River Pass

After killing the Troll, you come across an abandoned village as you search for a boar. Perched on the right hut is a Raven.

5 Foothills

Climb and follow the trails, or simply ride Sindri’s lift, up to the base of the Mountain. Turn toward the lift and look up on the rocky cliff on the left. A Raven dances on the edge.

6 Alfheim (Light Elf Shore)

Paddle northwest at the Lake of Light to find the hidden beach Light Elf Shore. Disembark and step toward the water to get the right angle. Turn southeast and spot the Light Elf pedestal and a Raven.

7 Mountain (Dark Caves)

Just after dispelling the Black Breath and completing “Light of Alfheim,” you enter the dark caves of the Mountain. Defeat the Revenant Summoner, then move to the far side of the hole in the bridge. Look back under the bridge to find a Raven perched on the beam.

8 Mountain (The Heart of the Mountain)

Traversing the dark caves leads Kratos and Atreus to the Heart of the Mountain. Find the tunnel entrance on the northeast side that leads to Brok. Follow the cliff ledge and look to the right to spot a Raven flying around.

9 Mountain (The Heart of the Mountain)

After running into Brok, you find a big cart that can be pushed along the tracks. Push it just past a bridge and drop the two sides so that you can cross to the east side of the cavern. Head north to find a Raven at the next corner.

10 River Pass

On your return visit to the Witch with Mimir’s head, you must climb out of the cavern to reach her front yard. Climb the chain on the north side and look east to find a Raven perched on the ledge.

11 Thamur’s Corpse

Debark at the northern dock near Thamur’s Corpse and look left. Spot the Raven as it dances around on the edge of the stone structure. Aim high to get the distance needed to hit it.

12 Helheim

Look for the arch that forms a ring above the bridge. A Raven is perched on the inside of the ring, on the north side.

13 Helheim

After fighting the Hel-Viken in the lower pit, Hel’s Bramble must be torched in order to dislodge a pillar—allowing you to continue toward the Guardian. Before climbing up that pillar, though, look north to find a stationary Raven.

14 Helheim

After fighting the Hel-Viken in the lower pit, walk over to the southeast ledge and look below to spot a Raven flying around in a circle. Toss Leviathan ahead of its path to get it.

15 Helheim (Return with Atreus)

Return to Helheim with Atreus, follow the bridge through a small tunnel, and climb onto the narrow footbridge just ahead. Detonate the Shatter Crystal to the right to find a chest and coffin. A Raven is also inside the small room.

Fling the axe in front of the bird to hit it in flight. This Raven can also be hit from the upper cliff of Stone Falls.

21 Forgotten Caverns

Look for the spindle that holds the three rune bells next to the Nornir Chest. Perched on top is another Raven.

23 Isle of Death

After the second water drop, a Raven sits under the shipwreck on the lower level of the Isle of Death. Peek through the two rock formations to find it.

24 Iron Cove

A Raven flies above the rocky outcropping near the southern shipwreck. It’s visible from atop the Isle of Death, but you must get within range. After the water drops a second time, slide from the top of the Isle of Death to Iron Cove, and make your way onto the right portion of the shipwreck. Now you’re close enough to hit the Raven to the left with an axe throw.

25 Niflheim Realm Tower

After the second water drop, ride the right elevator to the top of the Niflheim Tower and look over the far side. A Raven sits in the front half of the shipwreck below. Aim high with your axe to hit it.

34 Fáfnir’s Storeroom

From the Lake of Nine, find Fáfnir’s Ravine in the northwest corner and follow the waterway all the way back to a beach. Ride the lift up, step off, and look above to find a Raven sitting on top of the lift.

35 Fáfnir’s Storeroom

Visit Sindri’s Shop just inside Fáfnir’s Storeroom, and look up to find a Raven flying in a circle.

After you visit Sindri’s shop and squeeze through the narrow crevice, but before you fight the Reavers, a Raven sits on a branch of a fallen tree on the left side of the footpath.

37 Fáfnir’s Storeroom

Perched on a beam at the far end of the forest area, just left of the big waterfall, the Raven overlooks the exit from Fáfnir’s Storeroom. Get this bird during the “Fáfnir’s Hoard” or “Time Heals All Wounds” Favor.

Navigate back to the Reaver ship and look west from the bow. A Raven sits on the grill on the other side of the waterway.

41 Konùnsgard Stronghold

After talking to Sindri, follow the path and turn left at the first intersection. Hit the Scorn Pole with your axe and then take out the Hel-Walker in your way. A coffin sits at the dead end; beware, as another enemy emerges from inside. The Raven is perched on the cliff on the other side of the waterfall ahead.

42 Konùnsgard Stronghold

On your way to the northern entry stone, kill the Ogre and climb the cliff next to the stream. Turn southeast and hop across the busted bridge. At the corner, back away from the cliff and spot the Raven to the south. It may be easier to spot from the balanced rocks. Toss Leviathan above its head to kill it.

43 Konùnsgard Stronghold

Find the anchor that holds Reginn in place, and look across the canyon to spot a Raven perched under an open gate. Aim Leviathan above its head to get the collectible.
