In God of War Ragnarok (GOWR), lore in the form of Rune Reads can be found throughout the realms! Below are the locations of these Rune Reads.
Winter-Man?
This lore can be found in the Lower Wildwoods engraved in the side of a cliff shortly after an area where you’ll have to slide down a zipline then fight a group of enemies. After you defeat them, you’ll squeeze between two cracks in a rock wall.
Tyr’s Helmet
Lake of Nine – This rune read can be found on the side of a giant helmet north of the Raider Stronghold.
Tyr’s Spear
Lake of Nine – This rune read can be found on the side of a giant weapon in the southeastern corner of the area.
Tyr’s Left Bracer
Lake of Nine – This rune read can be found near the shop and Lake of Nine Mystic Gateway.
Tyr’s Right Bracer
Shores of Nine – This rune read can be found on the side of a giant fallen metal arm near The Oarsmen.
Traitor
Vanir Shrine – This Rune Read can be found on the wall after heading past the central gate at the beginning of the shrine.
Prayer to Freya
The Abandoned Village – This Rune Read can be found on the wall of the great hall.
Vanaheim Lullaby
Freyr’s Camp – This Rune Read can be just west of the central fire on the backside of the rock.
Verdant
Eastern Barri Woods – This Rune Read can be found on a stone wall in a ruined structure along the northern path heading to the abandoned village.
Broken History
The Strond – Immediately at the start of the area, this Rune Read can be found on the statue.
Limitless
Temple of Light – This lore can be found on the right arm of a giant statue near the light puzzle where Tyr will jump on the hanging crystal so Kratos can hit it. The statue to the right is the one you want to look at. Head up the stairs and face it to find a point where you can use the Sonic Arrows to cause a grapple point to drop. Swing across to reach it!
Sacrifice
The Burrows – This rune read can be found on the wall of the cave in the area where you fight the Cursed Grim and Light Elves. It’s along the main path.
Patience
This Rune Read can be found next to a chest hidden by three growths with a red orb in the middle of them. To destroy the growths, climb up the crack in the wall near a crystal then line the orbs up and throw your axe through them all in one go.
The Forge
The Forge – After squeezing through a crack in the rocks, take a right and head up the mountain. Climb up the ledge on the right then head behind the building in the sunken area to find this lore on a rock wall.
The Pit-Mine
Jarnsmida Pitmines – From the Nornir chest, drop down to the left side of it then use the grapple point under the water wheel to jump the gap. Once you land on the other side, take a left to find it carved into the rock.
The Vault
The Applecore – From Sindri’s shop, follow the path to the end. There will be a wall you can hit with a Sonic Arrow revealing a Rune Reads on the other side.
Don’t Breath
Dragon Beach – This lore can be found at the base of the bridge on the eastern part of the island.
The Squasher
Althjof’s Rig – This lore can be found after slamming through the breakable floor.
Prayer to Hraesvelgr
