Odin's Ravens are back in God of War Ragnarok, and they're spread across all nine realms. You can't explore without hearing one of Odin's Ravens chirping somewhere nearby, the spectral little gits.
Some of them can be tricky, but here’s how you can find all 48 of Odin's Ravens in God of War Ragnarok.
What are Odin's Ravens?
As with God of War 2018, the world of God of War Ragnarok is brimming with spectral Ravens, which are essentially collectibles that you have to murder with your ax. Could have made a good murder of crows joke here if it were a different bird, but I digress.
Every time you've bagged a bunch of birds, you can go back to the Raven Tree in Niflheim to turn them in and open one of the chests for some rewards. Standing next to each chest tells you how many Ravens you need to open it up.
Tips for finding Odin's Ravens
If you're struggling to track down some of Odin's Ravens, even with this location guide, you might be looking for some general tips. One of the best ways to find the birds is by listening out for their caws. That's obvious, but there's another way to use sound to help you pinpoint exactly where they are.
If you head into God of War Ragnarok's accessibility settings, you can turn on subtitles that give you a direction indicator based on sound. Set this up and it'll give you an arrow-shaped pointer that tells you what direction the caws are coming from. It's a brilliant accessibility addition, but it's also handy for finding those pesky Ravens.
Another thing worth noting is that you might just not have the equipment yet, or you might need to progress further into the story. In this Odin's Ravens guide, we've split the Ravens by realms, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to grab them all on your first visit to a realm. If you're struggling to tick one off, go do something else and check back later.
Note: While we're doing our best to add all 48 Ravens to this guide, we're working our way through from the early game onwards. Keep checking back as we update the guide throughout the week.
God of War Ragnarok: Odin's Ravens - Svartalfheim
There are 13 Ravens to track down in Svartalfheim, but there are a handful you can't bag on your first trip through.
God of War Ragnarok - Aurvangar Wetlands Raven location
The first Odin's Raven you find is on the sandy island where you first enter the Aurvangar Wetlands.
Look up on the north side of the island and you’ll see it perched on a rock.
God of War Ragnarok - Bay of Bounty Raven locations
Do the quest called Weight of Chains, where you explore atop the creature that was submerged in the Bay of Bounty.
You can find the Raven on the north side of Lyngbakr Island from the first dock. You just need to use firebombs to clear the rubble, grapple over the gap, and duck through the crawlspace. Odin's Raven is on your left.
You can find another of Odin's Ravens in the Bay of Bounty doing laps in the sky close to the Watchtower. Head up to the Draugr Hole and you’ll find it easier to land the ax throw.
Another Raven is hiding in a little loop hanging from a wooden crane on Radsvinn’s Rig.
There’s another of Odin's Ravens on the climb up to Althjof’s Rig, just after the chain climb, hiding in a broken bit of wood at ground level.
There’s another doing laps in the sky at the top of Alberich Island.
And yet another raven just south of Alberich Island. If you grapple across twice from the last Raven, you’ll find this one in a little hole in the rock.
God of War Ragnarok - Nidavellir Raven location
You can find this Raven perched on the roof of a house just up from the dock where you enter Nidavellir.
God of War Ragnarok - The Forge Raven locations
You can find another Raven flying around near the Nornir Chest just after you step off the train connecting this area to Nidavellir village.
God of War Ragnarok - Jarnsmida Pitmines Raven location
After The Forge, you will reach a quarry filled with claws and other gadgets. Fight the enemies here and make your way down a chain to a gate that’s blocked by vines.
Look straight ahead over the water and you’ll see one of Odin's Ravens doing laps. Throw your ax at it.
God of War Ragnarok - The Applecore Raven location
Just before you reach the cell Tyr is supposedly held in, in the mines, you can find this Raven just after the puzzle with the waterwheels and the ore.
When you meet Atreus on the other side of the cavern, you can find it perched on a wooden beam to the left of the double wooden doors, near a shimmy route to a small chest.
God of War Ragnarok: Odin's Ravens - Alfheim
There are 10 Ravens to find in Alfheim, but you'll have to come back later to bag some of them. Either way, here's where they all are.
God of War Ragnarok - The Strond Raven location
You can find another Raven south of The Strond’s mystical gateway, just after the Nornir Chest. Keep looking left and you’ll see it perched on a tree.
God of War Ragnarok - Temple of Light Raven locations
A fair way into the Temple of Light, you can find a Raven hidden behind a gate. There’s a twilight stone above it, which should give you an idea of how you’re supposed to get the critter.
You can throw your ax at the one above it as many times as you like and you’ll never hit it. But look to your left and you’ll see another twilight stone against the wall. Aim your throw at this one until it arcs toward the one above the raven. Throw it and you’ll have bagged the bird.
Further into the Temple of Light, when you’re ascending the stairs next to the light of Alfheim just after the Nornir Chest, you’ll find another of Odin's Ravens in a window overlooking the staircase. Just keep looking left as you ascend.

You can find another Raven flying around near Freyr’s statue just to the north.
Another Raven is perched inside a rock on the east side of The Forbidden Sands.
The last Raven in the Forbidden Sands is hard to track down and only appears in the postgame. You can find it by heading to the north to the library. Instead of grappling up to the library, go through the hole in the wall at ground level. You’ll find the Raven flying around in this cave.
God of War Ragnarok: Vanaheim ravens - Eyes of Odin
You can find 15 Ravens in Vanaheim, but the vast majority of them can only be found when you revisit the realm later on.

God of War Ragnarok - Pilgrim’s Landing Raven location

You can find this raven right near the landing dock, hiding in the rocks above you.

The last raven in The Plains is also hiding down a hole, just below you when you jump the gap in the map above.
God of War Ragnarok - The Crater Raven location
This raven is just opposite Brok’s shop in The Crater in Vanaheim.

This Raven is hopping around in an ice block on the outside edge at the south of the central temple.

God of War Ragnarok: Odin's Ravens - Muspelheim

You can find a raven almost as soon as you enter the area of Muspelheim that isn’t the combat arenas. It’s in a little alcove not far from the Mystic Gateway.
