God of War Ragnarok: What are weak points (holes) with air coming out of them? God of War Ragnarok guide

In God of War Ragnarok, you can find holes - weak points with air. This guide page explains how to use Kratos' spear at holes/weak points and what uses it has.

Last update: 30 September 2024

One of the possible types of obstacles encountered in God of War Ragnarok are embedded points with air escaping out of them - they are found as early as during the first excursion in the land of Svartalfheim. This page explains how to use the spear on the embedded points (also known as weak points) and how this may help in exploring regions or reaching some of the most hidden secrets.

Embedded points with air coming out of them

Starting with your first visit to Svartalfheim, you may encounter weak points through which air escapes, and an exemplary one is shown in the screenshot above. They are also called Weak Points by the game.

Initially, you cannot interact with them. When trying to use the axe or the blades on them, your companions will remind you that you don't have the necessary equipment yet. If possible, memorize these places to return to them later.

Using the spear on embedded points/weak points

You can use the Draupnir Spear on the embedded points - this is Kratos' third weapon, which you gain access to later in the game.

The spear is a reward from the Lady of the Forge, whom the heroes visit on their second visit to Svartalheim - Forging Destiny main quest.

Once you got the spear, you can destroy weak points. The weapon will simply penetrate the weak point, making the air stop emerging from it.

There are 2 types of spear interactions possible:

1) Blowing up an emebbed point - You have to press the Triangle on the controller. A spear explosion can, for example, destroy rocks around the embedded point and help unlock a new passage.

2) Using the impaled spear as a pole - You can jump to it (X on the controller) and then access the next ledge. These two interactions unlock locations that were previously unavailable.
