God of War Ragnarök

Automatic during Surviving Fimbulwinter. Defeat Björn and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Stay just outside the bear's swipe chain, then punish its recovery with a short attack sequence. Evade red-ring attacks instead of trying to block them.

Automatic during Surviving Fimbulwinter. Defeat Thor and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Follow the fight through every phase and the prompted interactions. A scripted interruption is part of the encounter, not a failed trophy attempt.

Automatic during The Lost Sanctuary. Defeat Vanadis and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Complete the confrontation after returning from Ironwood. Keep moving away from hazardous patches and react to the attack rings.

Automatic during The Reckoning. Defeat Níðhögg and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Use Freya's prompts to expose the boss and continue through the arena transitions. The companion-assisted puzzle attacks are required to advance the fight.

Automatic during The Lost Sanctuary. Defeat Grýla and complete the encounter's final interactions.

As Atreus, aim at the glowing cauldron opening when it is exposed. Use Angrboda's assistance when prompted to create another damage opportunity.

Automatic during Reunion. Defeat Garm and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Continue the pursuit beyond the first apparent victory. Use the spear on the glowing weak spots when the later phase teaches that response.

Automatic during Creatures of Prophecy. Defeat Heimdall and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Use the Draupnir Spear to build the opening the encounter teaches. Detonate embedded spears with , then follow the stagger prompt. Keep fighting through the later phase rather than expecting the first stun to finish it.

Automatic during The Summoning. Defeat Hrist and Mist and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Complete the paired Valkyrie encounter, including the rescue prompts. Watch both opponents and avoid spending a long Runic animation while the other is preparing an attack.

Automatic during The Realms at War. Defeat Odin and complete the encounter's final interactions.

Finish the final confrontation and its concluding scenes. Use the companion prompts and change weapons when an elemental shield makes your current attacks ineffective. Continue into the postgame for the remaining favors.

Collect these nine flowers. Despite the description, they span eight realms: Niflheim has two, and Asgard has none. After the story, collect Ratatoskr's extra realm seeds at Sindri's House.

Use the Nine Realms in Bloom favor to check which flowers remain.

After the main ending, speak to Lunda at a shop to start A Viking Funeral. Visit the tavern in Nidavellir and interact with Brok.

Then travel to Sverd Sands. From Aurvangar Wetlands, use the ferry that connects to the mine entrance. Alternatively, return through the Applecore route. Join the group on the shore and interact with Brok again to begin the ceremony. Let the concluding scene finish.

After Forging Destiny, speak to Durlin near the Nidavellir Beach gateway or later in the tavern to accept Spirit of Rebellion.

Sail to Dragon Beach, climb its chain and use the spear vent to reach the upper walkway. Read the runic slate beside the giant statue. It lifts the statue's hammer, exposing the chest containing Durlin's hammer.

Return the hammer to Durlin in Nidavellir's tavern. If the funeral has moved him to Sverd Sands, finish that favor and return afterwards. Opening the chest alone is not the hand-in.

After The Reckoning, talk to Lunda at Freyr's Camp and accept The Mysterious Orb. Head into the River Delta by day. If vines block the river beside Freyr's Camp gateway, use its Celestial Altar to change night to day.

At Cliffside Ruins, climb and cross the elevated platforms until you can reach the bramble holding a chain. Link Sigil arrows to the bramble and ignite them with the Blades. Climb the released chain and use the runic mechanism above to open the river gate.

Row toward Goddess Falls and turn into the Veiled Passage cave. The orb is on the ground at its first landing beach. Pick it up, then return it to Lunda at a shop. Her three broken armor pieces are useful extra finds, but you do not need them for this trophy.

Finish both Hafgufa favors in Alfheim.

Secret of the Sands: after Groa's Secret, enter the Canyon and speak to Sindri. Take the sled into the Barrens and descend into the eastern cave, The Below. Follow the underground route to the Hafgufa. Cut the red hive bindings by lining up axe throws through their weak points, using Twilight Stone reflections where necessary. Clear ore with nearby explosive vessels. Leave through the new passage, then open the marked hive cage on the surface.

Song of the Sands: after The Reckoning, enter the Forbidden Sands and descend into the Burrows. Use Sonic arrows to open the temporary hive barriers, then throw the axe through the exposed binding lines. Move between the ledges to line up each group. Once all bindings are cut, follow the exit and open the surface cage west of it.

The underground rescue is only half of each favor. Both creatures must be released at the surface. Clearing them also removes the desert storms.

Land on Lyngbakr Island in Svartalfheim's Bay of Bounty to begin The Weight of Chains. Shoot the explosive pots to clear the rock barriers, destroy the nests and follow the wall-climbing route to the lift.

Lower the lift with its wheel, then throw the axe into the gear to hold it down. Leave the axe there while you climb around the side wall onto the lift. Recall it with to ride up. From the raised lift, face the marked floor and use the prompted drop attack to smash through. Defeat the enemy below and open the chest for the key. If you recall the axe before boarding, lower and freeze the lift again.

Take that key to the Watchtower, unlock the door and strike the gong. Return to the island and release both fins and the tail. At each binding, destroy the restraint, then throw the axe at the exposed chain. Fire bombs clear the gold debris and open the next dock. Use the zipline for the tail section.

After the third chain, return to the boat and approach the creature's eye for the final conversation. Leaving immediately after breaking the tail chain misses the favor's last step.

Travel the Vanaheim River Delta with Freya after The Reckoning to start Freya's Missing Peace. Use the Cliffside Ruins mechanism to open the river gate, as described under New Friends. Visit Goddess Falls during the day, climb to Vanir Shrine and let Freya open its entrance.

Defeat the Soul Eater, then open the two side routes from its courtyard:

1. Drawbridge route: throw the axe at the exposed bridge lock. Link Sigil arrows from reachable ground to the bramble hiding the other lock, then ignite a sigil with the Blades to burn the bramble. Break that lock to lower the bridge. Follow the path to Freya's first belonging, speak to her and use the rune mechanism she reveals nearby.
2. Torch-gate route: return to the courtyard and find the gate with two braziers above it. Clear the vines below the left brazier. Connect both braziers with overlapping Sigils, then ignite the connected sigils with the Blades so both torches light together. If only one lights, adjust the overlap and try again. Inside, burn the bramble blocking the upper path and kill the small healing enemy before the protected foe. Find the second belonging, speak to Freya and use the next rune mechanism.
3. Central bridge: return to the courtyard and have Freya read the revealed word. Cross the repaired bridge and enter the room with the final belonging to receive Mardöll.

For Sigil chains, aim with , place purple arrows with , then ignite a reachable sigil using the Blades' + .

Follow the route back out. Defeat the two Dreki and interact with the boat to finish the favor. The sword scene is not the final quest step.

Clear all four Kol Raider camps around Midgard's Lake of Nine: Raider Keep to the south, Raider Fort to the west, Raider Hideout to the east and Raider Stronghold near the center.

Animal Instincts begins when you clear a camp. Finish the other three, then defeat the chieftain who appears at the final camp. Double-tap close to him when blue rings signal his interruptible attack.

Return to the sled and let the interaction with the wolves play. The trophy is tied to finishing this favor, not repeatedly approaching the sled earlier.

Once you have the Draupnir Spear, speak to Ratatoskr at Sindri's House and pick up his trap. Capture the lindwyrms inside these six Yggdrasil Rifts:

Interact with each rift to catch the creature, then interact again for its remaining reward. Return all six to Ratatoskr and finish the conversation. Ordinary combat rifts do not contain lindwyrms and do not count as substitutes.

Visit the Crater, then speak to Ratatoskr and take the Yggdrasil Leaves. Feed each of the four stags so it returns through its portal.

The Summer stag is the awkward one: night changes the route, and the river must be restored. Use a Celestial Altar to make it day before returning to that island. After the fourth stag, return to Ratatoskr to close the favor.

Complete all nine hunts in Vanaheim's Crater. First follow Helka through Scent of Survival after Creatures of Prophecy. Enter the Jungle at night and finish Return of the River at the dam. The restored water opens the boat routes used by several hunts.

Check the completed Favors list if one remains. Random wildlife, the Untamed Fury and dragons outside the Crater do not replace any of these nine hunts.

Complete all 15 distinct Muspelheim trials. Repeating one challenge 15 times does not count.

To reach the Crucible, collect two Muspelheim seed halves. One is in the Legendary Chest at Modvitnir's Rig. For another, climb the spear route from Dragon Beach into Alberich Hollow and use a fire bomb to clear the gold debris covering its chest. If you already obtained a seed through a later story route, the chest may give another reward instead.

First complete both trials at each of the three small swords. Collect their reward chests and open the central Nornir Chest. Each small sword then gains a third trial. Complete these three as well.

The last six challenges appear at the central sword after completing one small trial at each of two different swords in order. The runes resemble F, N and R, on the left, middle and right paths as you face them from the central arena.

Complete the central challenge before entering the next pair. You can repeat an easy small trial to activate its sword rune.

For Flawless, fight at range and keep space behind you. For Ring Out, knock enemies into lava instead of trying to overcome their regeneration. Feed the Rift needs the dropped orbs thrown into the rift. Onslaught is survival, so preserve health rather than chase kills. In Shield Breaker, kill the lesser enemies to expose the protected target. For Phantom, stagger the core, destroy vulnerable springs and repeat.

After the story supplies the Inert Hilt at King's Grave, activate and defeat all nine other Berserker gravestones. Some contain more than one enemy.

Return to King's Grave in Midgard after those 12 Berserkers are defeated. Activate the final stone for King Hrólf.

I recommend level-9 equipment and a Resurrection Stone. Keep your camera on him, evade red-ring attacks and double-tap nearby for blue-ring interrupts. Throw at hovering projectiles before they reach you. When he rises to charge an arena-wide attack, interrupt him with a thrown axe or spear. Change to the opposing weapon element when he gains an elemental shield.

Take short openings instead of trying to empty every Runic attack at once. Pick up the rewards afterwards, including the Hilt of Skofnung for Collector.

After the main story, travel to Muspelheim's Crucible. Take the small side opening east of the central arena, then follow the grapple route to the separate platform. Pick up the object there to begin Defend Your Valor.

Bring upgraded gear, a Resurrection Stone and a prepared Freya. I would defeat Hrólf first so his relic is available. Turn on subtitles if they help you react to Gná's calls.

• “For Asgard!” signals the aerial stomp. Evade and stay ready for repeated drops. Later repetitions can be delayed.
• “Bathe in fire!” needs a purple Sigil arrow to interrupt her.
• “Rise, rise!” needs a Sonic arrow to break the stone she holds.
• Blue rings need a close shield strike with twice. Red rings need an evade.

Keep an arrow charge available instead of spending every shot as it recharges. Learn the end of each attack sequence, then take a brief opening. If a long Runic attack keeps getting interrupted, replace it with a faster one. Difficulty can be lowered without invalidating the trophy. Finish the post-fight interaction.

Continue Valhalla's opening story until Homecoming. Follow the route with Helios and perform the prompted sacrifice. This is a mandatory story event. If an attempt ends before reaching it, buy permanent upgrades on the Shore and try again.

Reach Týr at the end of The Host, defeat him for the first time and leave through the exit. Earlier tutorial attempts do not reach this full encounter.

Enter with health and Rage in reserve. React to his rings, stop attacking when he starts a new sequence and use your glyph-enhanced attacks during his recovery. Another defeat simply gives you a chance to improve the next attempt.

After the first Týr victory, continue the next story attempt into The Work, Part I: Acceptance. Pick up the glowing Oath Stone at the mandatory stop beside the large chain. It is on the story route, not hidden behind a randomly selected reward door.

Complete Valhalla's six story chapters, ending with The Work, Part III: Benevolence. This requires four victories over Týr as the story advances, with Shore conversations between attempts.

Follow Goals > Valhalla when deciding what to do next. A failed attempt does not erase permanent upgrades. Spend your seals on the Shore, adjust the build that failed and return. The lowest difficulty is valid.

After three Týr victories, continue into The Work, Part III: Benevolence. Collect Pandora's Statue at the story stop beside the chain. This happens before the fourth victory and does not require searching every optional sanctuary chest.

Finish Valhalla's main story, then check the first room of a new attempt. The first Boat Captain Key is beside the mural near the exit in Valgrind.

Pick it up and continue through the run until Mimir discusses it. On the next attempt, return to that same starting-room location for the second key, then repeat for the third.

Do not collect a key and immediately abandon the attempt. The conversation advances this sequence. You do not need to defeat Týr again between every key, but continuing the run lets you work on the Forum, Echoes and Mastery trophies at the same time.
