by NightlyGamingBinge in

Below is a walkthrough for Freya’s Missing Peace favor in God of War Ragnarok.

Continue heading down the river to reach River Delta. Continue heading through this area until you reach the Cliffside Ruins at the very southern part of the river. Once there, climb up to the top of the stone structure then head to the platform closest to the chain on the south side. Use the sigils and Kratos’ Blades of Chaos to ignite the plants and drop the chain. Climb up the chain! At the top, interact with the device which opens a new path in the river. Get in your boat then continue down the river to reach Goddess Falls.

Once at the Goddess Falls, climb up the stone wall then work your way through the area. At the top of the falls, interact with the vine covered wall to progress to the Vanir Shrine.

In the first area of Vanir Shrine, defeat the Soul Eater and the other enemies then look to the west side to find a bridge. Destroy the vines blocking the circle then hit the circle. The second circle can be found behind the gate. To hit this one, head to the area overlooking the left side of the bridge. Once the bridge falls, head across and follow the path to the end, dealing with the enemies along the way. When you get to the end of the path, you’ll have to defeat 2 Revenant Hags. Afterwards, approach Freya at a pedestal then interact with her to trigger a cutscene where you’ll receive her first belonging.

Follow her through a nearby archway and interact with the device then head back to the beginning of the shrine. Head to the southeast to find a gate. In order to open it, you’ll need to ignite the two braziers above the door at the same time. The best way to do this is to put sigils on each of the circle symbols above the door then shoot two sigils per circle to make them bigger.

Once the gate has opened, head on through. When you reach the first enemy, it’ll be protected. Head past it and destroy the vines. Work your way to the end of this path to find Freya at another pedestal. Interact with her to receive the second belonging.

Again, follow her through an archway and interact with the device. Afterwards, return to the starting area of the shrine. Once there, interact with the glowing runic word. Doing so will create a bridge. Head across it then interact with the door to trigger a cutscene after which you’ll receive Freya’s third belonging.

After the cutscene, you’ll receive the It was a Good Day trophy for retrieving Mardoll. Return to the boat and interact with it to trigger a boss fight against 2 Dreki. Defeat them then interact with the boat again to complete the favor.
