Using our interactive map will help you explore Vanaheim in 100 percent.
Our guide also includes maps showing other regions of the game:
First visit to Vanaheim in main story
Vanaheim is a land consisting of jungles and rivers that can be traversed by boat. There you will meet Freyr and other allies, but also enemies and bosses that must be defeated. It is 1 of 9 worlds you can explore.
The first visit to Vanaheim takes place in the main quest The Reckoning, in which Kratos' goal is to find the source of Freya's curse. Much of Vanaheim will still be blocked off at that time meaning your exploration will be limited.
The second visit to Vanaheim during the main story happens during the Creatures of Prophecy main quest. Kratos will by then have the Draupnir spear and the option to use 2 types of arrows. This will enable you to reach previously inaccessible places.
Collectibles and side activities
You can find different types of secrets while exploring Vanaheim. These include:
- Artifacts;
- Lore;
- Odin's Ravens - you need to kill them from a distance;
- Nornir Chests - with each chest there is an associated mini puzzle of destroying glyphs;
- Legendary Chests - you will find new attacks, rare crafting materials and other unique loot in them.
There are also various optional activities to unlock in Vanaheim and these include:
- Yggdrasil Rifts - in order to pass the activity you need to close the rift;
- Draugr Holes - defeat mini-bosses;
- Berserker Gravestones - you must fight a battle against 1 or more strong optional bosses.
Hidden areas in Vanaheim
On your second visit to Vanaheim, you will learn how to use Celestial Altars - they change the time of day in this realm. This is not just a cosmetic change, as some areas are only unlocked at certain times of the day. Otherwise, there may be an indestructible obstacle protecting access to a particular location.
There are several larger optional areas in Vanaheim. These are:
- Goddess Falls in the southern part of the map -You need to solve the puzzle of lowering the large gate on the river.
- The Crater in the northern part of the map - Heroes will be able to get there only after unlocking the "flying boat".
