The Plains Casualties Of War Quest Guide And Objectives
Exploring the expansive Crater region in Vanaheim reveals several intriguing side activities that expand the lore of God of War Ragnarok. Among these optional favors, the Casualties of War quests task players with helping lingering spirits resolve their unfinished business across the realm. Understanding how to locate and complete these favors in The Plains allows players to earn valuable experience, powerful amulet enchantments, and unique equipment upgrades.
Unlocking The Plains Region and Starting Favors
Before attempting any Casualties of War missions in The Plains, players must first gain access to The Crater by completing the Scent of Survival quest. Once you arrive in this vast wild landscape, interacting with restless ghosts will trigger specific questlines tied to lost personal items. Each spirit asks Kratos and his companions to retrieve a missing piece of an artifact to grant them peace.
Finding the Scroll and Brooch Artifacts
One primary objective involves finding the spirit near the Western Plains Mystic Gateway to begin tracking a missing scroll. Players must navigate through nearby caves, destroy weak stone walls using the Draupnir Spear, and reunite both halves of the document. Another key favor in the area requires tracking down a broken brooch, which involves navigating past toxic mist zones and battling formidable guards guarding the path.
Locating Missing Items and Clearing Barriers
Completing these objectives often requires interacting with environmental mechanics, such as utilizing sigil arrows and frost attacks to neutralize environmental hazards. Environmental obstacles frequently block access to the second half of these spirit mementos, making thorough exploration essential. Paying close attention to glowing purple items on the ground ensures that no critical quest items are overlooked.
Quest Rewards and Character Growth
Finishing these favors grants substantial experience points for both Kratos and Atreus upon completion. Additionally, completing quests like Casualty of War: The Scroll unlocks special amulet enchantments such as Stunning Fang to enhance combat effectiveness. Helping all restless spirits throughout The Plains ensures players maximize their gear potential while fully experiencing Vanaheim's rich narrative depth.
