God of War - All Artifacts Locations Guide (Curator Trophy Walkthrough).Other GOW Guides:.Curator Trophy WalkthroughThere are a total of 45 Artifacts / Artefacts to find in God of War. Each Artifact belongs to a specific group and there are 7 groups in total.None of the Artifacts are missable, you can go back and get them at any point in the story. In fact, I advise doing this as you won't be able to get all of the artifacts until you have certain abilities. However, you can follow this as you play through the game and you will be able to get most of them.Collecting all 45 of the Artifacts will reward you with the 'The Curator' trophy.
You can also sell the Artifacts for a lot of Hacksilver.Artifact Group Timeline:. 00:00 - Wildwoods (Lost and Found).

Each of these coffers is well-hidden and locked behind a set of runes (or seals) that act like small puzzles. To unlock Nornir Chests, you'll need to break the three seals locking each and every one of them. Some runes will be easy to find, while others will take some ingenuity to destroy.This guide will show you how to find each chest, as well as where to find each and every rune-covered seal. Wildwoods: 1 Nornir Chest #1: After Your First Battle (Health Upgrade)Once you've defeated your first set of Draugr in the Wildwoods, head straight ahead.
Go past the life stone on the ground and toward the blocked passage in front of you. Break through the wood to find this Nornir chest.Seal 1: As you walk into the alcove, the first rune seal is immediately to your right - on the other side of the stairs. Throw your ax to break it.Seal 2: The second rune is to the right of the chest, sitting against the wall.Seal 3: The third rune is on the left-hand side of the room in a stone sarcophagus.
River Pass + Witch's Cave: 5 Nornir Chests #1 After the Revenant (Health Upgrade)Just like with the first artifact in this area, it will take you a while to get to the first Nornir chest in the River Pass. After you fight the Revenant, who will come after the Heavy Draugr, climb up to the second story and turn right. Straight ahead you'll see the chest among some debris.Note: If you turn left instead of right, you'll find a shrine.Seal 1: In the top right-hand corner when facing the chest.Seal 2: Turn around and look upward.
To the left of the bridge in the distance (not the one closest to you) and past the chain, you'll see a second rune.Seal 3: Lower the bridge closest to you and go across. Once you cross over, stop and look up and left. The third rune seal is in an alcove there. #2: After the Spiked Ceiling Puzzle (Rage Upgrade)Upon completing the spiked ceiling puzzle (and after Atreus joins you on the other side), turn around and climb on the spike contraption. Look right and find the chest.Seal 1: Turn around from the chest and see the rune seal on a rock.Seal 2: From 1, turn left and look up.Seal 3: This one is a bit tricky.
From 2, look left again and see the blue wisps of the seal behind a beam. Raise the platform you're on to get a good angle from which to throw your ax.
#3: After the Sand Puzzle and Troll Fight (Health Upgrade)Once you've completed the sand puzzle, you'll go through a cavern and fight a troll on the other side. Defeat him and look to the left of the area.
At the edge you'll find this chest. The seals here are bells, and you must ring them in quick succession to open it.Bell 1: Just above the chest.Bell 2: Look left and up. This bell is right behind you on the cliff overlooking the waterfall.Bell 3: From the chest, go right and through the giant's bones. Straight ahead, across the area, the third bell sits atop a rock.The easiest method is to hit the bells in this order: 3,1,2. You'll only have a few seconds to strike each bell.
You'll get an Idunn Apple for your troubles. #4: In the Witch's Cave (Cannot Reach on First Visit)This chest can be found in the witch's cave after you beat the nightmares.
From the bridge, turn around and look toward the back of the area (toward the witch's house). Down below, you'll see the chest in the water.You can't get this chest yet, though.
You can revisit when Atreus can build bridges. #5: Exiting the Cave Through the Well (Cannot Reach on First Visit)Since you'll also need Atreus to get you across the water in the cave, you won't be able to exit through the well the first time you visit this area. But once you can reach the chest, you'll need the Winds of Hei to open it. We'll update this guide with a screenshot and steps when we access this area.
Foothills: 1 Nornir Chest #1: After Meeting SindriEventually, you'll meet Brok's brother, Sindri. After speaking with him, leave his camp and go straight ahead. Enemies will spawn and a protracted conflict will ensue. Once you've defeated all of the enemies, head up the hill and go right.
In the back of the area, you'll find this Nornir chest.To open it, you'll need to align each of three turnable poles to the runes on the chest. It does matter which poles show which runes since each pole doesn't have all of the runes carved into them. Here's what you need to do:Pole 1: Directly to the left of the chest.
This one should be turned to the 'squiggly' symbol.Pole 2: Turn around and go back down the hill. Turn left, and you'll see this pole nestled in the cliff just above eye level.
This one should be turned to the 'P' symbol.Pole 3: Turn right and follow the path around to the fallen tree. This pole will be mostly obscured by the poisonous fog. Throw your ax at the fog pole to reveal the rune.
This one should be turned to the backward 'B' symbol. Alfheim: 4 Nornir Chests #1: Light Elf Sanctuary (Health Upgrade)After defeating the enemies on the beach at Light Elf Sanctuary, follow the path until it forks. Take a left and you'll come to the area pictured above.
The Nornir Chest is inside the shelter.There are no runes on the bells in this area, but the sequence to open the chest is this:. The bell above the doorway.
Turn left and ring the third bell. Turn left and ring the sixth bellInside the chest you'll find an Idunn Apple.Note: If you don't know how to get to Light Elf Sanctuary, turn right as soon as you enter the Lake of Light. Go all the way to the end.
Then turn right and follow the channel around. You'll find the shore and can dock there. #2: Ringed Temple Trench (Health Upgrade)After you enter the Ringed Temple, prepare yourself for a fight against the Dark Elves. Once you've defeated them, continue along the trench on the left side. Eventually, you'll come across the next Nornir Chest nestled in the wall.Go to the right side and activate the wheel so that the middle section in front of you descends.
Throw your ax to cement it into place. Seal 1: Drop down. Across the platform in front of you. Seal 2: Turn around. On the wall behind the wheel.Now climb back up and turn the wheel all the down so that both pieces of the floor (the middle part and the part you're standing on) descend. Throw your ax to cement it into place. Seal 3: Turn around.
Climb up the ledge to find it nestled in the wall.You'll get an Idunn Apple for all your efforts. #3 Ringed Temple Sealed Doors (Rage Upgrade)When you reach the Ringed Temple proper, the blue doors in front of you will be locked. Before continuing with the story, turn left and follow the steps downward.
At the bottom, turn right, and you'll see a gate with two nodes, one holding it shut and the other hanging from the ceiling behind. Throw your axe and destroy both at the same time.Once the gate is open, you'll need to ring three bells in quick succession. Bell 1: At the end of the corridor above the chest. Bell 2: To the left of the gate, nestled in the wall. Bell 3: Behind you, turned at an angle.There's no easy way to open this chest other than being fast. We found that the sequence 3,2,1 was most effective.
Claim your Horn of Bloodmead. #4: At the Gate (Rage Upgrade)After Atreus receives the ability to build light bridges, you'll eventually make it back to the temple's main doors, the ones you could not near Nornir Chest 3. But don't go through the doors just yet!
Instead, turn around and place the crystal in the socket under the shelter.Once the light bridge is created, climb to the top to find the fourth Nornir Chest. Opening this one is another test of speed and accuracy. Bell 1: Inside the shelter, just above the chest.
Bell 2: Above the stairs on the right (where you climbed up). Bell 3: Outside the window on the opposite side of Bell 2.A Horn of Bloodmead will be inside. The Mountain: 2 Nornir Chests #1 Inside the Mountain (Rage Upgrade)After you complete the light puzzle when you first enter the mountain (where the deer god sits on the throne), a passageway will open on the right-hand side of the room. Go through and the follow the path.
After fighting the Revanant, climb up the ledge and defeat all of the Draugr.From the ledge you originally climbed to get into this area, go left. Have Atreus create a lightbridge and go up it. You'll find this Nornir Chest there. And like the chest in the Foothills, you'll need to align runes on three turnable poles.Pole 1: At the foot of the bridge to your right. This pole should show the 'R' symbol.Pole 2: Go to the ledge you climbed to get in this area.
Look up and left to find it nestled on the cliff above. This pole should show the 'B' symbol.Pole 3: Drop down off the ledge from Pole 2 and turn immediately right. This pole should show the 'N' symbol.You'll be rewarded with a Horn of Bloodmead.
#2: After Getting Shock Arrows, Where Hel-Walkers Worship (Health Upgrade)After finding Artifact 3 at the bridge, and using the sap bucket there to make a new path, you'll pass a alcove covered in sap. It won't have a crystal to shoot.However, move toward the Hel-Walkers worshiping ahead. You'll they are worshiping the next Nornir Chest. Defeat them and use the sap dispenser to open the alcove that was previously locked (there is also a Shrine in the alcove).Seal 1: In the room with the shrine.
Turn right and look up.Seal 2: Go back to the room with the sap dispenser and use the sap to lower the bridges. As you cross the bridge, look right. There is an opening with the Seal inside.Seal 3: After defeating the enemies across the bridge, use the wheel to raise the bridge to the next level. Freeze the gears next to it.
Go up the bridge and look right. The Seal is along the wall.You will receive an Idunn Apple for your efforts. Lake of Nine: 4 Nornir Chests #1: Lookout Tower's Spike Trap (Health Upgrade)Go to the end of Tyr's Bridge (toward the Foothills) and take a right.
Drop down and head straight. After a few steps you'll see a Nornir Chest on your left. You'll need to ring three bells to open this one - but they're stuck behind three spike traps. To lower the spikes, hit the turnable pole above the chest.Bell 1: To the left of the turnable pole.Bell 2: Up and right of the Nornir Chest.Bell 3: Right of Bell 2.Claim your Idunn Apple. #2: On the Shore at Forgotten Caverns (Health Upgrade)You really can't miss this Nornir Chest. You'll see it on the shore as soon as you dock at Forgotten Caverns. Take out the enemies first, then head to the left to find the seals.
They're all in one place this time, but the puzzle is a bit different.The seals are on a individual rotating arms. Hit one, and all of the arms spin. Hit another, and the arms spin faster.
You only have a few seconds to hit all of them, so the best sequence is: Bottom, Middle, Top or Top, Middle, Bottom.Hitting the middle seal second stops all of the seals from spinning. Complete the puzzle and open the chest to get an Idunn Apple. #3: Light Elf Outpost After Water Descends Second TimeAfter the water in the Lake of Nine descends a second time, Light Elf Outpost will be revealed. It's to the left of Helheim Tower - the area with the ruins in the water. There's a Level 5 Troll on the island, as well as a handful of high-level poison enemies.Defeat your adversaries and look to the left of the gate. Smash the boards to reveal a crystal. Create a light bridge up to the chest.Seal 1: Look toward the cliff behind the chest.
The seal is a t eye level on the opposite side of the ruins.Seal 2: From the chest, turn right. Go through the gate and stop. Turn right again and look out to the broken bridge in the water. The seal is on the column closest to you.Seal 3: From there, go left and down the path. Follow it all the way around - until you can either climb up the wall or down the chain. The seal will be nestled in the gate wall in front of you. #4: Cliffs of the Raven Using Winds of HelAnother area that will be revealed after the water in the Lake of Nine descends a second time.
Dock at the new landing at the Cliffs of the Raven. Make your way around the path, and you'll eventually come to the Nornir Chest naturally.
To destroy the seals, you'll need to clear out the growth found here, as well as use the Winds of Hel to select the correct runes.Note: To select the runs on the pillars around the area, activate each pillar with the Winds of Hel and let the runes rotate. When the rune you want appears, remove the Winds of Hel from the node to another node. That final step will lock the rune into place.Seal 1: To the right of the chest up on the highest cliff. Should show the 'R' symbol.Seal 2: To the right of the chest, but on the same level as the chest.
(Anon)Another thing that apparently causes the infinite loading screen is saving while being inside the textures, for instance when using 'tcl' console command. After lots of testing around trying many things (unsuccessfully) to fix this problem I realized that the resolution had changed itself to lower than what it should be. That worked for me.One way I found to fix this problem was to make sure that my resolution in the display settings of the original menu screen is the correct resolution. After changing it back to normal the problem was fixed. Skip the cut scenes, and as soon as you are able open the game menu and load your saved game.You can also try to remove some of your earlier savegames in the file itself.

But instead of boarding it and continuing your journey, follow the path. You'll end up at the Nornir Chest.Seal 1: There's a giant block to the right of the chest.
