Last update: 25 November 2022
In Vanaheim in God of War Ragnarok, you can meet Lunda - she will give you The Mysterious Orb favor. You will learn when you can meet Lunda for the first time and where the unique orb from the side mission is.
Rewards for favor
- Kratos XP - 1000
- Companion XP - 250
- New Friends bronze trophy
Unlocking the quest
The earliest you can unlock the favor is after completing The Reckoning main quest (first visit to Vanaheim).
In Freyr's Camp, head to the dwarves' store. First you will talk to Brok. Press Triangle to talk to Lunda about a favor instead of checking the store's offer - she will tell you about an orb.
Find the orb
The orb is in the Veiled Passage region. It is initially inaccessible because access to southern Vanaheim is blocked by a large gate on the river - you have to get rid of it first.
Reach the Cliffside Ruins region adjacent to the gate and get rid of the monsters.
Find a climbing spot in the Cliffside Ruins. Once you are at the top, jump to the next platforms shown in the picture.
Position yourself where you can see the chain covered by red vines. Your task is to remove the vines.
You need to set the vines on fire, but they are out of reach of your Blades. Ask your companion to create 3 seals next to each other - they must interlock and reach the vines. In addition, the seal closest to you has to be in range of Blades of Chaos. Equip Blades and hit the first seal. The strike should carry over the seals and finally set the vines on fire.
If there is no chain reaction, it is likely that the seals are too far apart. Delete them (press X while aiming) and create new ones.
Once the obstacle is gotten rid of, go down, reach the chain and climb up. In the new area you'll find a rune creation spot - it is shown in the screenshot.
Wait for the icon to appear - press Square - and a rune will be uttered and a pathway will be unlocked. Return to the boat and sail south.
Look for opportunities to head left (east) to reach the Veiled Passage region.
Reach the shore at the first possible boat dock. The orb lies on the ground and is marked with a favor icon.
Return the orb to Lunda
You can return to any store in Vanaheim (it doesn't have to be Freyr's Camp, you can choose, for example, a closer store in River Delta). Give the orb to Lunda to finish the favor.
