God of War Ragnarok introduces various side quests known as Favors that deeply enrich the lore of the Realms. Among these, the Casualty of War series in The Crater of Vanaheim provides emotional context about the tragic spirits left behind. Completing these challenges allows players to unlock valuable crafting materials and piece together historical secrets.
How to Initiate the Scroll Favor
To begin this specific quest, players must navigate to the northern region of The Crater known as The Plains. You will encounter the restless spirit of Ryg near a collapsed stone structure during the nighttime phase. Speaking with this phantom reveals a desperate plea to locate a missing piece of an ancient artifact.
The companion character will immediately comment on the surrounding ruins, confirming that the quest line is officially active. Tracking this objective closely ensures that players can navigate the dangerous Vanaheim landscape without getting lost. Finding the lost object is essential to bringing closure to the suffering entity.
Locating the Missing Scroll Fragment
The matching half of the scroll is hidden further into the cavernous spaces of the northern Plains area. Players must navigate past several high-level enemies and destroy a structural barrier using the Draupnir Spear. Throwing the spear at weak points in the crumbling masonry reveals a hidden alcove containing the glowing relic.
Interacting with the objective triggers a brief dialogue exchange that concludes the immediate search parameters. This area also contains various chests filled with upgrade resources, making the detour highly beneficial for character progression. Ensuring that you explore thoroughly prevents the need to backtrack through hostile territory later.
Quest Rewards and Narrative Ending
Once both pieces of the scroll are reunited, the spirit delivers a final monologue explaining the historical betrayal that occurred during the war. This conversation provides deep narrative closure regarding the factions that once fought over the lush lands of Vanaheim. Shortly after the speech finishes, the spirit finally fades away into the light.
Completion of this side quest rewards the player with a significant amount of experience points for both Kratos and Freya. Additionally, players receive a unique Amulet Enchantment that enhances defensive capabilities during late-game combat encounters. Completing all similar tasks in the region maximizes your overall completion rating.
