Requirement: Access to River Delta (complete Main Quest 6: The Reckoning)
Reward: 500 Kratos XP, 125 Freya XP, 13 Whispering Slabs, Svartalfheim’s Honour Amulet Enchantment
Objectives:
- Slay the Seidr Fanatics
- Speak to the spirit
Starting Location: Conscience for the Dead
Conscience for the Dead can be started by talking to the ghost of Gunhild at Cliffside Ruins, which can be done after accessing River Delta. From the Mystic Gateway “Freyr’s Camp” interact with the Celestial Altar to switch to daytime. At night the path is blocked. Then row your boat through the river to reach this location.
Slay the Seidr Fanatics
Deal with the enemies then climb up. Jump across the platforms and use Freya’s runic arrows combined with your chaos blade flames to clear the bramble and lower the chain.
Climb the chain and carve the rune in the stand to open the passage through the river.
Row down to Goddess Falls and head into the cave, The Veiled Passage.
Land at the beach and use the fire bomb dispenser to destroy the ore leading to the Nornir Chest, then use the fire bomb again combined with runic arrows to hit the bells on the wall opposite.
Get on your boat and head further down to the next beach.
Break the barrier, destroy the plants and climb the wall, where you will find a Lore Marker in a nook to your right. Now head to the ledge and you will see an Odin’s Raven perched on a high branch.
Continue forward dealing with the Sadir Fanatics, and near the ledge by the second group of Sadirs there will be a wooden barrier you can break to reveal an artefact. Make sure to kill all the Sadir Fanatics in the area.
Speak to the spirit
At the end of the tunnel is a chain leading back to the Cliffside Ruins, on the other side of the bridge.
Firstly, there is a Lore Marker to the right, as well as an Odin’s Raven on a branch over the river.
There is also a Legendary Chest down a ledge next to the bridge, which requires Runic Arrows and Chaos Blade to reach due to ores blocking it.
Once those are done, lower the bridge to return to the spirit. Speak to Gunhild.
This finishes Conscience for the Dead Side Quest in God of War Ragnarok.
