All Troll Locations God of War Ragnarok and Hunting Guide
Navigating the sprawling realms of God of War Ragnarok offers players countless hidden challenges that extend far beyond the main narrative path. Among the most rewarding endgame activities is hunting down the hidden stone trolls scattered across the Norse universe. Unlocking these statues requires a special relic known as the Mystical Heirloom, which breathes life into these frozen behemoths and initiates intense optional boss battles.
Acquiring the Mystical Heirloom Relic
Before you can begin your hunt, you must secure the ancient item capable of awakening the slumbering giants. The Mystical Heirloom is hidden in Midgard, located behind a breakable ice wall near the Lake of Nine region. Once equipped, utilizing this relic near the stone statues triggers the combat encounters necessary to complete your hunting labor.
The Slumbering Giants of Midgard and Alfheim
The first encounter can be initiated at the Derelict Outpost in Midgard, where a lone troll named Blodugr Steinn awaits your challenge. Defeating this creature requires careful dodging due to its heavy, ground-slamming area attacks. Afterward, you should travel to the Forbidden Sands in Alfheim to face Bjarg Stormr, a massive foe located in a secluded western corner of the desert biome.
Conquering the Dual Threat in Vanaheim
The ultimate test of your combat capabilities takes place within the lush landscape of Vanaheim at Noatun's Garden. Here, the relic awakens two dangerous opponents simultaneously, Golrab of the Ashes and Golrab of the Frost. Managing both threats at once demands careful positioning and a strategic utilization of Kratos's diverse runic abilities to control the battlefield.
Claiming the Legendary Steinbjorn Armor
Successfully defeating every awakened giant yields rare crafting materials known as Slumber Stones, which cannot be obtained anywhere else. Taking these unique resources to a blacksmith shop allows you to forge the coveted Steinbjorn Armor set. This defensive gear significantly boosts your resilience and grants a unique life-stealing perk when taking damage in future encounters.
