Overview: How Many Odin's Ravens Are There In God of War Ragnarok?

If you're chasing 100% completion and the platinum trophy, Odin's Ravens are the most annoying collectible in God of War Ragnarok. These glowing green hidden items fly around every realm, tucked into hard-to-spot nooks that most players miss on their first playthrough. Here's the hard numbers you need:

Each raven you kill unlocks a slot on the Raven Tree in Niflheim, which opens one of six legendary chests for rare endgame gear. This complete location guide walks you through every single raven, so you don't have to reload a 30-hour old save because you missed one.

Missable Odin's Ravens: Critical Warning

Unlike most collectibles in God of War Ragnarok, 6 ravens are locked off once you progress past certain story points. If you're doing a blind first playthrough, mark these on your map before you leave the region:

1. Asgard: Odin's Study - Once you finish the Unlocking the Mask main quest, you can never return to Asgard. Grab this raven before you leave.
2. Svartalfheim: Applecore - The raven in the water wheel tunnel is locked once you drain the water after the main quest. Get it before you leave the mine.
3. Vanaheim: The Southern Wilds - The raven on the crane is only accessible before you lower the crane to progress the story. Kill it first, then move on.
4. Vanaheim: Freyr's Camp - The raven behind the southern barrier is gone forever once you progress past the Groa's Secret quest.
5. Alfheim: The Forbidden Sands - The raven inside the elven library is locked once you seal the light rift in the main quest.
6. Midgard: The Oarsmen - The raven in the storage shed below the giant chain is locked once you raise the gate during the main quest.

Don't be that guy who has to start a New Game+ just to get the platinum. Check these off before you progress.
