A note on God of War spoilersGod of War is full of surprises, and that makes guides particularly tricky to write. We want to help you with the game.
We don’t want to spoil it. So we want you to know that we’ve written every guide with spoilers in mind.If our guide doesn’t appear to get you every item (a chest, for example), there’s a reason for that. Rather than spoil that reason, our tables of contents and a big image in the guide indicating spoilers ahead will tell you when and why you find yourself in that situation — in the least spoilery way possible.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive EntertainmentThere’s very little to watch out for as you make your way down the bridge. Keep an eye on the right side of the bridge for a ring of glowing runes — this is your first lore marker.Turn to the right of the marker to find a wooden chest. You’ll need to free it first. There’s a root-node-thing between the rocks. Toss your axe and collect your hacksilver.After you fight your first dark elves (we hate dark elves) go through the doors and take an immediate right.
There’s a legendary chest down the stairs with a Symbol of Shadows enchantment inside.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive EntertainmentSet off from the beach in your canoe and swing to the left. You’ll see a drop of Yggdrasil’s Dew of Cooldown which will permanently increase your cooldown stat by two points. (Don’t forget to grab the Aegis gold you knocked down earlier, too.)Continue along the river to the Lake of Light. You can dock at the sand bowl when you come to it — you can’t actually accomplish anything here yet anyway — but before you continue along to your goal, there are two other locations to visit in the Lake of Light. Light Elf Shore.Follow the shore to the left. You’ll eventually come to a beach called the Light Elf Shore. Handle the draugr and nightmares waiting for you.
To the right of where you parked, there’s a broken chunk of road where you can find Spoils of War artifact 1.Head down the tunnel next to that piece of road and fight the tatzelwurms waiting for you. There’s a chest on your left, but you can’t get to it yet. Follow the tunnel around to the right. When you come to the gap, toss your axe at the root node blocking your path, then jump across. Climb up onto the ledge and continue along to find a legendary chest with a Frost Giant’s Frenzy heavy runic attack inside.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment.SIE Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive EntertainmentTurn around and head back to the tunnel. This time, line up your axe throw so you hit all three root nodes and free the wooden chest. We found that an overhand (R2) throw works well here.When you come out, take the tunnel on your right — the one that was ahead of you when you beached.
There’s another hidden chamber at the end. You still can’t get in, but you’ll want to know where it is later.Head back across to the other side of the beach. There’s a ruin here with three crystals in the floor that you can ignore for now — we’ll be back for them soon. Go through the door on your left and out onto the balcony. Turn to the left and look at the statue pedestal for an Odin’s raven.
Light Elf SanctuaryHop back in the canoe and paddle straight back across the lake all the way to the southeast corner to find the Light Elf Sanctuary.
