God of War Ragnarök takes you through the 9 realms to take on gods, dragons and other mythological creatures, but it's okay to pick on the weaker than yourself once in a while to unwind. The main collectibles hunt in the game is to kill Odin's 48 spy crows. You can find all the detailed information about them in our general guide dedicated to crows, with the other kingdoms, the rewards, etc.
Midgard
There are no crows during the game's intro. Neither are there when you explore it with Atreus. You have to wait to be under daddy Kratos' control again, and to open access to the area with Freya , which happens a little later, during the story.
Rowers
- Perched on a high rock. You have to go around the area, and reach the foot of the cliff, to be able to touch it with your axe.
lake of nine
- Perched on the sculptures, on the side of the cliff, to the east of the area.
- In a small dead end full of ice, under the edges of the temple of Tyr. Take the sleigh ride to fall on it.
abandoned outpost
- Hidden inside the wreckage that serves as an ark. Look below, there is a hole.
- Proudly perched on a pole of a mechanism to be activated, it is difficult to miss.
Well of Urd
- At rest, on a rock, not far from a campfire. You must complete the first steps of the Norn quest to climb into the area.
How to find and kill crows?
You should be able to find the majority of crows without assistance for several reasons. Indeed, each kingdom lists the total number of crows it contains, and each region individually lists its number of crows. This means that by displaying the map, you can easily see how many crows are in the area. You are therefore not going to search for nothing, in an already emptied region.
- Crows being neon green, they are often easily spotted. It will nevertheless be necessary to show skill and a little timing to kill those who steal. If you don't have the patience to aim at the flying crows, the spear , obtained later in the game, will allow you to snipe them easily.
- However, many crows are hidden behind obstacles or ledges, making it difficult to see them unless you look in the right place from the right angle. But a clue will help you: the characteristic noise of crows. They all emit plaintive croaks, which you can hear in the area. Then all you have to do is look everywhere. If despite your efforts you cannot find the crow, move forward a little in the area, it will then often be visible from another position.
- Finally, some crows can't be killed immediately, that's normal. You will have to go back to the area later, when the story has advanced in order to open the passage, or with new, more suitable tools, such as the spear .
