Finding all the collectibles in God of War Ragnarok can be a challenging journey for completionists aiming to unlock every trophy. Among the most unique collectibles are the Spirit Mementos, a special set of five artifact pairs tied directly to side quests called Casualties of War. These items are scattered across The Crater region in Vanaheim, requiring Kratos to explore distinct sub-regions to recover lost belongings for wandering spirits.
Unlocking The Crater Region in Vanaheim
Before hunting for any Spirit Mementos, players must first gain access to The Crater in northern Vanaheim. This area becomes available after completing the main story mission Scent of Survival, where Kratos follows Helka through the woods. Exploring this vast optional zone rewards players with valuable gear, resources, and lore elements.
Finding the Brooch and Scroll Artifacts
The Brooch artifact is tied to the Casualty of War: The Brooch favor found within The Plains. Players locate one half near a tree in the eastern section of The Plains and the second piece near the cliff edge where Egil the Oath Guard is fought. The Scroll artifact requires navigating a cave system in northwestern Plains and using the Draupnir Spear to shatter structural walls hiding the second half.
Locating the Stein and Hourglass Artifacts
To collect the Stein, players must complete the Return of the River favor to flood the dry riverbeds across the region. The first piece sits near the dam in The Jungle, while the matching half lies in a Dreki lair within The Plains accessible only by boat. The Hourglass is found in The Sinkholes after freezing a toxic pole to pass through a cavern, followed by navigating a fiery tunnel near a dragon lair.
Completing the Set with the Child's Toy
The final Spirit Memento artifact set is the Child's Toy located in the lush, dangerous jungle area. The first half sits right next to the Mystic Gateway in The Jungle near a Nornir chest. The second half is found nearby in the open arena where players battle two large ogres, completing the set and securing progress toward the Curator trophy.
