Learn how to find relics in God of War: Ragnarok!
We know that Kratos and Atreus have a great arsenal of weapons, from the Blades of Chaos to the Leviathan Axe, but the game also gives the pair more moves with magical relics.
In the game, relics can cast various spells and powers during combat, which could be very nifty in a jam. While some relics come naturally with the story, there are some that players will have to seek out. Some can be crafted at the dwarven forges as well.

Lost Pages
Note that some relics have been marked with “Lost Pages,” meaning they can be obtained via a side quest with Kratos searching for these relics around the realms. They contain blueprints for specific relics that can be crafted at the dwarven forges when collected.
Only four are in the game, but they also make for some interesting items.
Though not relic is for everyone, they all come with special perks that could benefit players depending on their play style. Just note that these relics also come with their lengthy cooldown, so it’s best not to depend on them too hard during gameplay.
