After months of waiting spasmodically, we can finally say it: God of War he's back among us! The new adventure of Kratos brings us to explore new lands and a new pantheon; there will be epic clashes and a compelling and exciting plot. If you're already on the hunt for the platinum trophy of the latest game by Santa Monica Studio, you may not have missed the many collectables that you'll have to find. In this last chapter of the saga there is a large quantity of collectable objects and, with this guidebook of ours, we will show you where and how to find them all.
God of War PS4: A Guide to Partworks
Let's start by saying that this new God of War one will give us well 328 collectible. It goes without saying that, of course, you will need to find them all to get 100% completion of the game. Here is a list of all the collectables in the title:
- 15 Favors;
- 45 Artifacts (which are dealt with more specifically in our guide on how and where to find the artifacts);
- 38 Mystical Passage;
- 16 Shops;
- 39 Indicators Clipboard;
- 51 crows of odin (which are dealt with more specifically in our guide on how and where to find the Rooks of Odin);
- 8 Valkyries;
- 1 Queen of the Valkyries;
- 3 Dragons (which are treated more specifically in our guide on how to set dragons free);
- 21 Norn Chests;
- 34 Legendary Chests;
- 18 Ruptures in the Kingdom;
- 7 Secret Rooms;
- 11 Altars of Jotnar;
- 9 Purple caskets (which you will need to access the realms of Muspelheim and Niflheim);
- 12 Treasure Maps (which will be covered in a guide still in progress);
Fortunately, none of the items listed here is missing.. After completing the main storyline of the game, we can in fact quietly put ourselves in search of all the collectibles that we are missing, thus obtaining the platinum trophy of God of War . Precisely for this reason, the guide in question was created to be consulted after completing the main quest, in order to savor the plot and limit yourself to collect mainly what you will find on your way.
However, only one of these collectible objects is actually missing: it is one of the purple boxes, from which we will be able to get the various ciphers that will allow us to reach the areas of Niflheim and Muspelheim. One of these trunks is in fact located in an area that we will not be able to access again. Luckily for us, there are eight purple chests needed to get the related trophies, which means that we can safely access the bonus areas without having to worry about having to start the game from the beginning.

After destroying the barricade, press the RIM button to allow Atreus to lower the chain. At the other end of the chain, you will find the collectible;
- #3: behind the elevator, there will be a well to climb to the surface. During the ascent, you will not be able to miss the collector;

Once this is done, you must destroy the wooden barricade so that Atreus can climb. Push the big block towards him, so that he can jump over it and push him to the other side, and destroy the wooden planks so that he can jump. Now, you must throw your hammer at the three inscriptions on the ceiling so that the boy can get the answer to the riddle. Once this is done, Atreus will lower the platform, so you can use it to open the legendary crate there.
- #4: Return to the entrance to the Witch's Cave (top of the lift). Again, follow the path that leads into the cave, the one you just took to the previous Norn Chest. There is a large square-shaped block on the side of the cave. It can be pushed into the void until it falls down. Now you have to go back, back to the elevator, and take the green energy ball placed behind it by grabbing it with the blades of chaos. First, place the sphere on the bridge of the witches' house, then run towards the large square block you have just moved. Position yourself on the edge of the block to launch the energy ball onto the center platform. Now you'll have to "circumnavigate" the area and take the sphere from the back; once you've done this, climb up to place it in the third support. Finally, push the big block in the middle between the two platforms, so that you can jump to the other side and put the green energy sphere in the final support, which will reveal the box (one of the best hidden of God of War );
- #5: After climbing the chain next to the last Clipboard, head to the rock spur and click the SQUARED button. This will allow Atreus to find the solution to an enigma. Once you've done this, go back and interact with the pile of sand which, with the magic word found, will reveal the location of the legendary trunk;
- Norns' coffers: 5
- #1 [Health Enhancement]: Starting from Brok's store, you'll need to head towards the end of the area on the left and go down. From here, you will need to use the chains to go all the way down. This will take you to a previously explored area where you came from. You will find a chest of the three Norns (distinguishable by the 3 magic seals) in view in the middle of the area near the bridge. To open it you will need to destroy the 3 seals. One is right above the chest, another one is on the side of the bridge between the rocks, while the third one can be seen looking through the opening that overlooks the path that you have just walked to get to this area (the one where you were lowering yourself with chains, so to speak);
- #2 [anger enhancement]: go to the area where you'll find the trap with the iron spikes falling from the ceiling: you'll notice that the Norn Chest will be right in that area, and you'll literally have to reach it by jumping on the trap. You will find the first seal at the end of the tunnel above the trap. To reach the other two, you'll have to hit the two yellow objects that actually trigger the trap and use it as an elevator to reach the ceiling: that's where you'll find the other two seals to destroy.
- #3 [health boost]: In the area where you defeated the boss, you'll find this other trunk in plain sight. In this case, you'll need to destroy the three seals very quickly; you'll know you hit them because they'll make a clearly distinguishable sound. First hit the seal on the other side of the area and then the other two next to the chest;
- #4 [anger enhancement]: Take the path down into the Witch's Cave. Nornir's trunk will be about halfway down. In order to reach it, Atreus will have to fire the Elf Arrows at the blue stones under the platforms. The three seals are placed: one behind the lift, one in front of the Nornir Chest, on the rocks, and the last one in the next room, which is blocked by the sap of the red trees (you will have to throw the pointed red ball and then shoot the electric arrows to wipe out the sap in question);
- #5 [Health Enhancement]: After finding the Legendary Chest #6, you will realize that on top of the building you have just restored, there is an energy sphere. Grab it and place it on the other side of the building; once you have done this, climb up with the chain, go to the spur of rock and grab the sphere, and then take it to the next support. After that, you will notice some runes in the shape of a "B". You will have to hit two yellow supports with the hammer, in order to obtain a B-shaped runes, and another one in the shape of a B, but facing upwards. Right next to the energy sphere, you will notice a third support that periodically shows runes identical to those listed above: grab the sphere when the support in question shows the B-shaped rune facing upwards, place it on the last support and you get the case;

Now you'll have to take the energy sphere from the previous area and place it on the various supports that you'll find along the way, until you finally get it to its destination and unlock the case;
- #2: go back to the Secret Chamber and continue towards the mountain, going to the area where you faced the first Ogre.

Walk along it and you will find another crystal; walk backwards, place it on its support and you will have unlocked the marker;
- #2: continue with the story, and crawl through the cave until you reach the deer-shaped statue: the collectible will be right behind it;
- #3: leave the area with the deer statue and, if you haven't already done so, use the electric arrows (obtainable at the end of the area) to remove the sap from the red trees.

- #5: In the middle of the area there is an indicator behind a large wooden box with stones inside;

- #3: after you find the clipboard indicator #7, you will be attacked by an Ogre. After defeating it, you'll notice a gate with the last trunk behind it; to get it, you'll have to climb down the chain and use the blades of chaos to reveal the presence of a support for the energy spheres. You have to catch it by pressing the RIM button and bring it in front of the chain. Then destroy the nearby wooden barricade to reveal another green energy sphere. Grab it with the blades of chaos and place it in the support you have just placed next to the chain. Climb the chain, pull the energy towards you, run quickly to the gate where you faced the Ogre and place the sphere on the gate support (you will only have 10 seconds).

There you will be able to go down and find a purple trunk at the bottom;

The third is just after the second: shoot the arrows at the blue crystal after you have planted it to create a bridge.

Collectible Objects in the Hideout of Buri

- Legendary Chests: 2
- #1: head to the left side of the island: you'll find the trunk in plain sight, not far from Odin's Raven;
- #2: this trunk is behind the sealed door with the classic three luminous runes. To open it you have to hit the three glyphs in quick succession with the axe. However, one of them is behind a gate; here is how to unlock it: first, Atreo will have to shoot the electric arrows on the red sap at the back of the island. This action will unlock the big wheel at the top; use it to turn the water wheel until the left path to the island is free (align the missing piece of the water wheel with the left beach). Now go back to the boat and reach the left beach. From here, you can approach the gate and lower it with chains. After this, return to the boat and head back to the main beach; now the gate is lowered and the rune can be hit with the axe. The other two runes are in plain sight, near the warehouse. The legendary trunk is right behind the warehouse door;

From the artifact, cross the gate on the left side and use the chains to lower the gate; in this way you will raise the gate on the opposite side, which hides a legendary chest behind it. Now, if you have lowered the bridge on the crow's side, you can use it to jump back and turn around the area to retrieve the legendary chest;
- #2: go back towards the gate you just lowered and go towards the end of the cliff in that area. From there you can climb the cliff and make Atreus shoot electric arrows at the red sap blocking the water wheel. With the water wheel running again, you can climb back up to the start of the Stone Falls area and wait for the explosive on the wheel to turn to the crate. The electric arrows will detonate it and now the legendary trunk can be opened;

Collectable Objects at Tyr Temple
The Temple of Tyr will be inaccessible almost until the end of the game! The temple will be divided into two parts. The first one will be accessible from a certain moment on, and you will be able to collect all the objects in it; however, you will already have to be at a rather advanced point in the plot. The second part of the temple will become accessible practically at the end of the main quest. To get there, you'll have to leave the previous area and find yourself outside the Temple of Tyr. You can run around the circular area outside, on the water's surface, until you reach a door at the end of the temple. It is located essentially on the side of the temple, at the level where you should use your boat. We recommend that you leave the exploration of this area until after the conclusion of God of War .

As usual, we'll have to destroy three runes to open the trunk. One will be practically under the trap we talked about earlier (you may need to throw the axe to freeze one of the spikes). The second is in the circular room in front of the norns' trunk, on the side. The third is also visible from the room in front of the trunk; there is a tunnel with traps falling from the ceiling.

Partworks at the Nine's Shores.
Before you start collecting collectibles from this region, we recommend that you first visit the other areas of Midgard, collecting all the items, so that you can leave this area for last. The reason is soon said: the Shores of Nine is a rather large area, which extends over several regions. For a better understanding, orient yourself with the collectables indicated in the other areas described in the guide, so that you have a better view of the region and know where to find the desired area. Some of these collectibles actually require a lot of progress in the game, for example, for some of them you'll need to have already found the runic codes of the purple trunks, to unlock the Muspelheim and Niflheim areas.

For the first rune, lower the platform all the way down, and then throw the axe at the gear to lock it, so that the platform stays in place when you let go of the wheel. The first rune is behind you, after you have lowered and stopped the platform. For the second and third rune, lift the platform up again. This time, turn the wheel only twice, and you should already see a blue rune appearing in the distance, directly in front of you and just below your position.

Ask Atreus to hit the crystal with blue arrows.
