Many secrets are hidden in Midgard, but also in the different Kingdoms of Yggdrasil. For Kratos and Atreus, this is an opportunity to collect unique Artifacts in God of War. You can thus find many of them scattered all over the game, which can then be resold to Brok or Sindri. By following the classic progression of the story, it is possible to accumulate a good number of them, but not necessarily to find them all.
The various artefacts are more or less well hidden. Some are in the middle of your route, others behind more winding paths. However, all of them can be spotted by the faint light that emanates from them.
