Odin’s Ravens a back in God of War Ragnarok, pesky spies sent out by the All-Father himself to track Kratos and Atreus’ every move.
Much like in the 2018 reboot, you’re tasked with sniping all these green, specter-like birds out of the sky (or tree branches and rocks as each case requires) – 48 of them in fact, spread out across Svartalfheim, Alfheim, Midgard, Vanaheim, and so on. All this is forms part of a Favor called The Eyes of Odin.
Taking out Odin’s Ravens also comes with rewards, housed in a set of chests in Niflheim, accessible once you’ve killed 6, 12, 18. 28, 38, and 48 ravens. Here’s are the rewards you’ll get from each chest:
- 6 Ravens – Girdle of Raven Tears
- 12 Ravens – Bracers of Raven Tears
- 18 Ravens – Cuirass of Raven Tears
- 28 Ravens – Breath of Thamur Heavy Runic Attack
- 38 Ravens – Meteoric Slam Heavy Runic Attack
- 48 Ravens – The Finger of Ruin Heavy Runic Attack
In this guide, we’ll walk you through collecting all 48 raven locations in God of War Ragnarok. It goes without saying that the following includes spoilers, so tread carefully.

How Do You Hit Odin’s Ravens in the Sky?
Use either the Leviathan Axe or Draupnir Spear. Track the raven’s path and pinpoint when it’s either flying directly towards you or away from you, which is when you want to throw the axe/spear.
