On this page of the God of War Ragnarok game guide, you will find a high-quality interactive map of Alfheim - the land of elves. We have marked all important locations on the map - these include secrets and collectibles (lore, artifacts, Odin's ravens, legendary chests, Nornir chests), side activities (Berserker Gravestones, Yggdrasil rifts, Draugr Holes), favors (optional quests) and mystic gateways (fast travel). Our interactive map will make it easier for you to complete Alfheim in 100 percent.
In our guide, you will find maps for the other regions in the game:
First visit to Alfheim in main story
Alfheim is the land of elves in God of War Ragnarok. There you can encounter both elves of light and dark elves. It is 1 of 9 worlds you can explore.
The first visit to Alfheim takes place during the Groa's Secret main quest. This quest is done early in the story and is about visiting the Temple of Light to reach the altar of Groa. The game forces you to follow a pre-determined route in this quest and this means that optional exploration is limited. You will gain more freedom after leaving the Light Well and completing the main mission.
Remember that not all areas of Alfheim are available right away. Some of them are inaccessible until you make enough progress in the story. Kratos may not yet, e.g. have a spear used for exploration.
Collectibles and side activities
You can find different types of secrets while exploring Alfheim. These include:
- Artifacts;
- Lore;
- Odin's Ravens - they must be destroyed from a distance;
- Nornir Chests - you must first destroy the nearby glyphs;
- Legendary Chests - you will find unique loot in them (new attacks, rare ingredients, etc.).
There are also various optional activities to unlock in Alfheim and these include:
- Yggdrasil Rifts - your job is to close them;
- Draugr Holes - each hole is guarded by a mini-boss;
- Berserker Gravestones - after interacting with a gravestone, you need to defeat 1 or more strong bosses.
Hidden areas in Alfheim
You will gain access to the new regions of Alfheim after completing the Groa's Secret quest. One of the dwarves will inform the heroes about the option of passing through the Canyons. This path leads to a larger desert area - the Barrens. You can explore the area with a sled or by traveling on foot. It has new side quests and activities, as well as new collectibles.
Another optional area is the Alfheim Desert. You can visit this location during the Elven Sanctuary side quest - we described it in our walkthrough.
