After discovering The Crater of Vanaheim during the "Scent of Survival" Favour in God of War: Ragnarok, players can speak with Ratatoskr at Sindri's House to receive another Favour called "A Stag for All Seasons." This side quest involves searching for Seasonal Stags, mystical creatures that can tend to the Tree of Yggdrasil. According to Ratatoskr, the Tree has become somewhat overgrown, but these magical deer can graze on the Yggdrasil Leaves to keep it tidy. Therefore it is up to Kratos to explore the world in search of these four Season Stags in God of War: Ragnarok.
To complete the "A Stag for All Seasons" Favor in God of War: Ragnarok, Kratos must use Ratatoskr's special feed to calm the Seasonal Stags after encountering them in the wild, which will allow the Spectral Squirrels to safely take the deer back to Yggdrasil. As one might expect, this Favor's main challenge is finding the unmarked locations for each of these Season Stags. Fortunately, all of the stags can be found within the realm of Vanaheim. Specifically, players can encounter the creatures within The Jungle, The Plains, and The Sinkholes.
