As Kratos and Atreus make their way through God of War they'll encounter multiple Hidden Chambers of Odin. There are seven Hidden Chamber locations which span across three of the six realms in God of War, and each of them is locked behind powerful magic. Once Kratos and Atreus are able to unlock the Hidden Chambers of Odin, however, they'll face another mini-boss and gain access to powerful gear.

Accessing each of the Hidden Chambers of Odin can be done after players beat God of War, and each of the Hidden Chambers is guarded by a Valkyrie, one of the strongest types of opponents Kratos and Atreus face. Additionally, defeating every Valkyrie unlocks God of War's Queen of the Valkyries boss fight. Kratos should at least be level six in his overall power before trying to take on each of these bosses, and level seven for the Queen of the Valkyries, otherwise each fight is nearly impossible to get through.

Before Kratos and Atreus can face each of the Valkyries and claim the rewards of God of War's Hidden Chambers of Odin, they'll have to first get the Magic Chisel. Getting the Magic Chisel is part of the main story, so while players may begin to cross paths with Hidden Chambers of Odin during their playthrough, they'll have to wait to open them until they defeat Magni and Modi. Magni and Modi are the sons of Thor in Norse mythology, and their defeat has lasting repercussions throughout God of War and God of War Ragnarok.

Once players have acquired the Magic Chisel, each of the Hidden Chambers of Odin in God of War can be opened by interacting with the specific parts of the door that glow brightly as Kratos brings the chisel over them. Hidden Chambers of Odin can be found in the following locations in the realm of Midgard:

Wildwoods

Behind Kratos' home.

Witch's Cave

Near the entrance to Freya's home.

Foothills

Where Kratos meets Sindri for the first time.

The Mountain

Inside the large cavern, after Kratos and Atreus ride to the top.

Thamur's Corpse

Between the giant's fingers.

There are also two Hidden Chambers of Odin in God of War which can be found outside of Midgard. They are:

In Alfheim

Stay to the left side of the lake heading toward the Ringed Temple to find a beach with two caves. The Hidden Chamber of Odin is in the cave marked by a horseshoe.

In Helheim

Reach this Hidden Chamber of Odin by having Atreus clear sap on the left side of the main path near the bridge

Several hidden areas throughout God of War require the Magic Chisel to open them as well, but they are not the Hidden Chambers of Odin.
