As you have already seen for yourself, God of War Ragnarok does not end with defeating the final boss, and you can not only visit places of former glory once again, but also get into new, previously unknown areas. One place we would definitely recommend you visit is the Sacred Grove. It is the easiest to do, plus for fans of the previous game it will be a pleasant lyrical digression that will evoke a pleasant feeling of nostalgia and logically complete the storyline of one of the important characters.
What is the Sacred Grove
The Sacred Grove is the secluded abode of Odin’s ex-wife and forest witch Freya, which will be familiar to anyone who played God of War in 2018. It was here that Kratos brought Atreus when he was gravely ill.
As a parting gift to the devoted fans of the series, the developers allowed us to accompany Freya to her home and remember the past. Below we will tell you in detail how to do this.
How to find the Sacred Grove
As we already mentioned, this location becomes available only after completing the main story. To get there, you just need to return to Sindri’s house and talk to Ratatosk, who will give Kratos a purse with special Yggdrasil seeds that open access to all Mystic Gates, even if they have not been activated.
After this, you will have access to a fast travel point in the Sacred Grove.
What will happen in the Sacred Grove
As for game activities and collectibles, here you can find one of the last flowers needed to complete the side quest “Blooming Worlds”. Apart from the achievement “Florist” for completing it, you will not receive anything, but if you suddenly want to complete the game 100%, then you should find the remaining eight flowers in other worlds.
If you previously completed the quest “For Vanaheim!” and saved Birgir, you will find him in Freya’s house. He will agree to stay and look after Charlie, which will allow Freya to continue the journey with you without unnecessary pangs of conscience. After all , there is still much to do in God of War Ragnarok , and we will dedicate the next guide to this.
