If players are looking to earn some extra Hacksilver to craft gear or upgrades in God of War: Ragnarök, they should consider searching for all of the Family Crests in Vanaheim. Unlike Frozen Flames or Chaos Flames, these crests hold no worth to Kratos or his equipment. On the other hand, families of the realms see such Artifacts as highly valuable treasures. As a result, Brok and Sindri are more than willing to pay players handsomely for finding these rarities hidden throughout the realm. Accordingly, collecting all the Family Crests in God of War: Ragnarök is an excellent way to make some quick coin.
As mentioned above, all of the Family Crests are located within Vanaheim in God of War: Ragnarök, meaning Kratos does not need to visit other realms to complete their crest set. The family heirlooms can be found in any order in Noatun's Garden, River Delta, Freyr's Camp, The Veiled Passage, and the Vanir Shrine. To find a Family Crest, look on the ground for a small item node glowing with a bright purple hue. Interacting with these nodes will cause Kratos to pick up the crest as Freya provides some backstory to its owner.
Finding Every Family Crest in Vanaheim in God of War: Ragnarök
For accessibility, below is an index with information sourced from Gamepur explaining where each of the six Family Crests in Vanaheim can be found in God of War: Ragnarök:
Family Crest |
Location |
Walkthrough |
Skirnir's Crest |
|
Skirnir's Crest can be found on the ground to the left of the Mystic Gateway at Freyr's Camp, the location where players can start the Favour "Scent of Survival." |
Hoenir's Crest |
|
While exploring Noatun's Garden, look for a large puddle of water near a poisonous totem. On the opposite side of this puddle, players will find Hoenir's Crest lying on the ground in a small corner. |
Hylli's Crest |
|
After arriving at the Vanir Shrine, use the Leviathan Axe to lower a nearby drawbridge. Further inward on the trail, players will need to use their Blades of Chaos to burn through a blockade caused by a plant. Hylli's Crest can be found behind a wooden fence, but be wary of the enemy mob ambush awaiting Kratos on the other side. |
Kvasir's Crest |
|
To find Kvasir's Family Crest in God of War: Ragnarök, players must pass through The Veiled Passage to reach a pathway that leads to several ridges overlooking the nearby cascades. Bashing through the wooden fences at one of these ridges will reveal the hidden crest. |
Freya's Crest |
|
Freya's Crest can be found directly behind the River Delta Mystic Gateway. |
Odin's Crest |
|
Finally, Odin's Family Crest in God of War: Ragnarök can be found south of Pilgrim's Landing in a small verdant grotto close to a dock near the center of River Delta. |
