Exploring the expansive Crater region in God of War Ragnarok leads players into several optional favours involving lost spirits. Among these, the Casualties of War quests located within The Plains offer intriguing lore and valuable character experience. Understanding how to track down these restless spirits and locate their missing items ensures full area completion.
Starting the Casualties of War Favours
To begin these quests, players must navigate through The Plains after unlocking access to The Crater in Vanaheim. Interacting with glowing purple items or conversing with spirits triggers the individual favours. Each favour requires retrieving a matching half of a specific object scattered across the landscape.
Finding the first half of an item immediately updates your journal with quest details. Traversing the rocky terrain effectively requires keeping an eye out for environmental path obstacles.
Locating the Scroll Half in The Plains
One prominent quest in this sub-region is Casualty of War: The Scroll. Players can initiate this quest near the Celestial Altar in the Western Plains by dropping down into a nearby cave. Talking to the spirit inside reveals the need to find the missing half of her scroll.
The second half is hidden behind a destructible stone wall nearby. Using the Draupnir Spear to target glowing weak spots allows players to clear the barrier and recover the remaining piece.
Completing Additional Spirit Quests in The Crater
The Plains area features multiple Casualty of War objectives beyond the scroll, including items like the brooch and toy. Exploring the broader region allows players to stumble upon these items organically during general exploration.
Some areas in The Plains require altering the environment or restoring water flow from The Jungle to reach specific quest locations. Paying attention to landmarks makes backtracking much easier during your adventure.
Rewards for Helping Restless Souls
Finishing each Casualty of War favour yields meaningful rewards for Kratos and Atreus, including XP boosts. Players are also frequently rewarded with powerful Amulet Enchantments like the Stunning Fang.
Completing all five spirit quests across the realm provides deeper historical context regarding the ancient battle that created The Crater. Taking the time to finish these favours significantly enhances both your stats and story understanding.
