Hel-Tear

After closing the first rift of this type during the Unleashing Hel story quest, Hel-Tears become accessible. The quickest way to reach the Hel-Tear is to travel to the Mystic Gateway you used to enter Vanaheim for the first time. The Tear is located north of the gateway, and after interacting with it, you will face a group of elite opponents. It is best to attack them one by one. Once the enemies are defeated, you can close the Tear.

Odin\’s Raven

This collectible is in the air above the river to the west of The Southern Wilds. Start at the southern Mystic Gateway, head north, and when you have the chance, turn west to reach the river. The Spear is a useful tool for this task.

Nornir Chest

Reward: Horn of Blood Mead.

The Nornir Chest is located in the northern part of the region. It is best to explore the area at night to avoid barricades.

To open the chest, throw the axe at the shields. One of the shields is blocked by blackberry bushes, which you can set on fire with the Blades of Chaos. They are located to the left of the shield (as shown in the screenshot). If needed, use a seal created by a companion.

Legendary Chest

Reward: Wrath of the Frost Ancient – a light rune attack for the Leviathan Axe.

The legendary chest can be found in the ruins in the central area of the region. If you have already visited the region once, you can use the Celestial Altar to change the time to night, which will remove certain barricades that appear during the day. In the ruins, you need to find the hole in the wall that is shown in the picture. Crouch and go through the hole to find a secret location where the chest is hidden.

There is also an artifact called \”Upon Pursuing a Place Not Marked on Maps\” that can be found in the same region. It belongs to the category of Kvasir\’s Pomes. To find it, you need to climb onto the building roofs and look for a weakened part of the floor. Jump on it, and Kratos will break through the floor, entering a hidden area where the artifact is located.
