How to Find The Strond¶
During the main quest Groa’s Secret you’ll travel to Alfheim; The Strond is the area the Mystic Gateway takes you to. This page will guide you to obtaining all collectibles including, but not limited to Nornir Chests, Odin’s Ravens, Legendary Chests, and Artefacts plus much more. A lot of the collectibles won’t be available to you until you’ve progressed further into the story, and unlocked more abilities. This guide will mention if that’s the case with as little spoilers as possible. None of the Collectibles in God of War: Ragnarök are missable as you can come back later in the post-game.
Where to Find all Lore (Poems) in The Strond¶
There are two lores’ to be found in The Strond. As soon as you enter the area via the Mystic Gateway, there’ll be some glowing blue writing on the wall straight in front of you, walk over, and interact with it to get the first lore.
The second lore can be found by heading back to the Mystic Gateway, and taking the eastern path up the two platforms. When you get outside, keep walking east to the ledge, and look down to find a lore tablet resting in the snow. Drop to the ledge below, and interact with it to collect the second lore.
