God of War Ragnarök is the latest edition of the highly popular God of War series and the finale of Kratos’ long storied journey through the Greek and Norse lands. Just as the Greek saga concluded with the end of the Greek pantheon following the death of their leader Zeus, the Norse saga ended with the defeat of The Allfather Odin. After a long and arduous journey, the father and son duo of Kratos and Atreus end their struggles in the Norse lands, for now at least.
Before the final battle with The Allfather concludes, Kratos has a lot to accomplish throughout the story of Ragnarök. These activities include gathering allies and preparing for war while weakening Odin and his forces along the way. While you do eventually take down Odin’s allies one by one throughout the course of the story, one of the most sure-fire ways you can reduce The Allfather’s influence throughout the Norse lands would be to take out his eyes, metaphorically.
Eyes of Odin
The Eyes of Odin is a favor involving killing all of Odin’s spies scattered around six Nordic realms. These spies are not human or gods in nature and in fact, look like green, glowing ravens. Finding and killing one of these spies will trigger the favor itself. There are a total of 48 ravens that function as Odin’s eyes throughout these realms.
- Alfheim – The land of the Light Elves and Dark Elves that is embroiled in war.
- Helheim – The afterlife ruled by Hel, where the souls of the dead are sent for judgment.
- Midgard – The human realm where Kratos first arrives and eventually raises his son.
- Muspelheim – The realm of fire that houses Surtr, ready for Ragnarök to begin.
- Svartalfheim – The land of the dwarves that Brök, Sindri, and Lunda are from.
- Vanaheim – The realm of the powerful Vanir gods like Freya, who was sealed off from it by Odin.
If you choose to take on this monumental task, fear not because we have you covered. We have listed down all of the locations in each of the six realms where you can find these spies of Odin.
