Missable Ravens Warning: Don't Lock Yourself Out
Only 2 ravens are permanently missable if you rush the main story and don't collect them during your first visit. Here they are:
- Asgard: The Great Lodge Attic - After defeating Odin, you can never return to Asgard. This raven is in the attic of Tyr's old room, behind the destructible wall you break with a spear during the main quest Unleashing Hell. Collect it before you finish the main story or you're locked out.
- Jotunheim: The Traveler's Temple - After you complete the final main quest, you lose access to the main chamber where this raven spawns. You can still fast travel to Jotunheim, but the gate to the temple will be sealed forever.
Every other raven can be collected post-game via realm travel, so don't panic if you skipped some regions early on.
Region-by-Region All Raven Locations (Numbered Checklist)
We've organized this by realm and region to match your in-game map, so you can check each one off as you go. All map references use the in-game fast travel point as the starting coordinate.
1. Svartalfheim (13 Ravens)
- Modvitnir's Rig - Spawn 1: Fast travel to the rig, head up the western zipline, turn right at the top. The raven is perched on the rock outcropping overlooking the oil pumps. It's 20 meters northwest of the chest. One axe throw to the head will take it out.
- Bay of Bounty - Spawn 2: Fast travel to the dock, head north along the beach to the giant wooden crane. The raven is circling the top of the crane. Wait for it to hover stationary for 1.2 seconds before throwing - don't spam throw, you'll waste your cooldown.
- Bay of Bounty - Spawn 3: On the eastern side of the bay, behind the giant boulder blocking the Waterwheel. Climb up the gold chain, turn left, the raven is on the cliff edge above the grapple point.
- Althjof's Rig - Spawn 4: When you lower the rig to access the chest, the raven is flying between the two wooden platforms above the zipline. Stand on the lower platform and aim up - it will pass right through your crosshair if you wait 2 seconds after lowering the rig.
- Dragon Beach - Spawn 5: At the far north end of the beach, near the giant broken statue head. The raven is perched on the top of the statue's helmet. Aim up from the beach, you can hit it without climbing.

- The Applecore - Spawn 8: After you use the second water wheel to lift the gate, climb up the ledge, turn right into the small alcove. The raven is perched on the rock above the exit. It's hidden behind a wooden beam, so aim slightly left of the beam to hit it.
- The Applecore - Spawn 9: In the large cavern with the geyser you freeze with your axe. The raven is circling the top of the cavern, directly above the geyser. Freeze the geyser first, then aim up. The hitbox is tiny, so use a fully charged axe throw for a one-shot kill.
