Muspelheim seeds

You can’t enter Muspelheim without both halves of a certain seed, and you’ll find one fairly early in your journey. Of course, then you’ll wonder, “where the heck is the other one?” Well, we went and answered that burning question for you. Here you can find both halves of Muspelheim seeds.

Difficult side quests

Outside of the main story, there are literally dozens of missions and mission types to keep you busy, and some of them are difficult to find or complete. Identifying the ones most likely to sideline you, we’ve put together several guides to guide you. Use our guides below for each of them.

Draugr Holes

The Draugr are back, although they are stuck in only a few spots throughout the vast realms. If you want to clear all six spots, here are all the Draugr Hole locations.

Hell Tears

Like Draugr’s Holes, Hel’s Tears should be wiped off the map by the half-dozen mark. Here you can find all the Hel Tears in Ragnarok.

Berserker Gravestones

If you’re looking for the follow-up to 2018’s popular Valkyrie mini-bosses, Berserker Souls is it. These extremely hard battles number 10 battles (12 bosses total) across all realms and should be considered post-game content simply because of their difficulty. Level up as best you can and then take them down. Here are all the Berserker Gravestone locations.

Berserker Gravestone in Forbidden Sands

Most of these recurring side quests are fairly easy to track down in the post-game, but one of them, a Berserker Gravestone in northern Alfheim (The Forbidden Sands), is a bit more difficult. Here’s what you need to do to approach the Alfheim Berserker tombstone.

Dragon Scaled Armor

The God of War Dragon Scaled Armor is a special set of armor, partly because of its utility, but also because it’s needed for the aforementioned Platinum Trophy. Here’s how to get the Dragon Scaled armor.

Mystical Heirloom and Troll locations

The Mystical Heirloom is a strange item that you may find naturally in your travels, but it’s not clear what it’s for. Our Mystical Heirloom guide explains this, as well as how the trolls are related and the reward you might want when you reach the end of that particular quest line.
