Exploring the sprawling environments of God of War Ragnarok leads players to numerous side quests known as Favours, which enrich the narrative while offering substantial character upgrades. Among these optional endeavors, Across the Realms stands out as an intriguing multi-realm scavenger hunt that tests your exploration skills. Completing this objective grants a permanent statistical upgrade that benefits Kratos across all difficulty levels.
How to Begin the Across the Realms Quest
To initiate this Favour, players must travel to the Eternal Campfire location situated in Midgard's Lake of Nine region. Upon reaching the campsite, interacting with the recipe book beside the colorful rainbow campfire officially triggers the quest objectives. This interaction unveils a checklist of four distinct ingredients hidden across separate mythical realms.
Although the quest originates in Midgard, collecting every required item demands significant main campaign progression across multiple worlds. Players are advised to unlock Mystic Gateways throughout their journey to facilitate efficient travel between regions. Addressing this task after completing main story missions ensures seamless navigation without storyline blockades.
Locating the Four Required Ingredients
The first ingredient, known as the Nordic Gourd, rests just steps away from the Midgard campsite under a painted heart symbol. For the Prongfruit, head to Svartalfheim near The Forge platform where the item sits adjacent to a Nornir Chest. Finding the Elven Cap requires traversing the Forbidden Sands in Alfheim to discover the plant hidden behind a fallen structure.
The final component, the Bantam Melon, is located within The Sinkholes area inside the expansive Vanaheim Crater. Accessing this specific spot requires completing prerequisite side quests to drain or flood regional waterways properly. Keep an eye out for colorful heart graffiti painted on rocks, which serves as a visual indicator for each collectible.
Rewards and Permanent Stat Buffs
After gathering all four ingredients, journey back to the Eternal Campfire in Midgard to prepare the feast. Interacting with the cooking pot finishes the questline while revealing touching lore regarding the original creators of the recipe. Kratos receives the Meal of Comfort as a direct reward for finishing the task.
This consumable item grants a permanent five-point increase to every single combat stat in Kratos' profile. The simultaneous boost to strength, defense, runic power, vitality, luck, and cooldown significantly enhances battle efficiency. Because this buff applies automatically upon acquisition, players gain immediate power without occupying equipment or enchantment slots.
