Upon arriving in Niflheim inGod of War Ragnarok, players are going to find the Raven Tree and the perched spectral ravens that acted as the eyes of Odin. Ravens are found in abundance inGod of War Ragnarok, and players will need to destroy all 48 of them across the Nine Realms if they are to free the spirits from within the ravens and obtain a bounty of unique rewardsfor their collectathon adventure.
Destroying all ravens inGod of War Ragnarokmight not be an easy task, but dedicating one’s self to doing so will see them earn unique attacks, weapons, and armor that can be used to heighten a playthrough thanks to their special abilities. Not only are the Odin’s Ravens great for destroying for more lore and loot, but forthe secret boss fightthat awaits as the final reward.
7Girdle Of Raven Tears
Unlocked After Destroying 6 Ravens
The first reward from the Raven’s Tree after destroying Odin’s Ravens across the Nine Realms is the Girdle of Raven Tears, which acts as the frosty waist armor of this set. The Girdle of Raven Tears provides bonus in DEFENSE and LUCK, but will see further progression of DEFENSE per upgrade, with a maximum of 98 at Level 9 and a whopping 144 in New Game Plus at Level 10.
The great impact of DEFENSE makes the Girdle of Raven Tears useful for those who want to tank through attacks and have their enemies barely chisel at the ice girdle of Kratos. The added bonus of a 15% increase in healing from Healthstones, Rage, and Gear also makes for a highly defensive piece.
6Bracers Of Raven Tears
Unlocked After Destroying 12 Ravens
With a focus on STRENGTH, DEFENSE, and LUCK, the Bracers of Raven Tears provide unique benefits to those who want to conquer the Nine Realms. For only 12 Ravens to be destroyed, the Bracers of Raven Tears are great for early games, and even worth investing into for those who want high STRENGTH, DEFENSE, and LUCK, as Level 9 can reach 64, 34, and 30 respectively, and Level 10 in New Game Plus holds 94, 50, 44.
Even better still is the increase in healing from Healthstones, Rage, and Gear, but paired with the Girdle of Raven Tears, this 15% bonus is doubled into 30%. That’s a whole lot of healing for those who seek it, and it may just save Kratos’s life in hard battles to come.
5Cuirass Of Raven Tears
Unlocked After Destroying 18 Ravens
The third piece of armor that can be obtained from the Raven’s Tree is the chest armor, Cuirass of Raven Tears. Described as heavily fortified, this cold piece of armor provides levels of STRENGTH, DEFENSE, and LUCK. The most important attribute that can be upgraded with the chest armor is that of DEFENSE, which players can see rise to a total of 109 at Level 9, and 160 at Level 10 in New Game Plus.
Cuirass of Raven Tears is one of the best chest armors for those seeking high defense, and the Healing Mist ability is great for ensuring Kratos always has health and doesn’t have to rely on a revive, Healthstone or a reloaded checkpoint to stay in the fight.

The Leviathan Axe certainly packs a punch, and players can further impress Kratos with enhancements to his wife’s weapon with the Breath of Thamur. Despite its lengthy cooldown, thisHeavy Runic Attack for the Leviathan Axeis absolutely the best thanks to its high damage and frost potential.
The Breath of Thamur also provides Kratos with invulnerability, as the frost that hits enemies within this whirlwind of freezing will constantly stagger them to keep them away as a blizzard engulfs the battlefield.

A solid choice for those who love to wield the Blades of Chaos against the enemies of the Nine Realms, Kratos can obtain another Heavy Runic Attack for the Blades of Chaos after destroying 38 Ravens. The Meteoric Slam is one of the best Runic Attacks for the Blades of Chaos, and with it, players will be able to unleash further fury.
The Meteoric Slam provides a powerful slam attack which will rain down fire with a wide radius, and those impacted with the slam and its fire will have burn afflicted onto them which will cause them to take more damage over time. It’s a fun ability worth upgrading.
One of thebest Runic Attacks for the Draupnir Spearis unlocked via the destruction of 48 of Odin’s Ravens. In doing so, players will have a great Heavy Runic Attack at their disposal to compliment their fighting style with the Draupnir Spear, as The Finger of Ruin is something that should not be underestimated, especially when it requires a ton of collecting to obtain.
The Finger of Ruin provides a devastating and lasting tornado that will sweep through the battlefield and suck enemies into its vacuum, causing the maximum amount of damage, a solid bundle of force, and a good amount of stun to really make the worst of Kratos’s enemies feel his Spartan wrath.
1Hilt of Forsbrandr
Destroy All 48 Ravens and Defeat The Raven Keeper
After all 48 ravens have been destroyed and Kratos has claimed all 6 Legendary Chests in Niflheim, players will be ambushed by the loyal acolyte of Odin, the Raven Keeper. The Raven Keeper is a deadly revenant anda loyal ally to Odinwho has shaped the innocent spirits of youth into spectral ravens.
The Raven Keeper acts as an optional and secret boss fight in God of War Ragnarok with The Eyes of Odin favor, and it’s quite a troublesome challenge, especially when a dragon, The Pale One, enters the fight. Defeating the Raven Keeper also provides the Hilt of Forsbrandr Relic.
