Exploring the lush realm of Vanaheim in God of War Ragnarök offers players numerous secrets, hidden collectibles, and valuable side activities. Among the various treasure hunts available throughout the game, tracking down the Under the Rainbow treasure map rewards adventurous players with powerful gear enhancements and crafting materials. Knowing where to find both the map scroll and the buried treasure ensures a smooth journey through the realm.
Locating the Map in Noatun's Garden
To begin this specific treasure hunt, you must first navigate your boat to Noatun's Garden located along the River Delta in Vanaheim. Once you dock on the shore, make your way toward the northern side of the overgrown ruins where a structure housing a Legendary Chest stands. Walk past the building along the right outer wall as far as possible to find the glowing map scroll resting in the grass.
Finding the Buried Treasure at Goddess Falls
After reading the clue on the map, your next destination is the scenic region of Goddess Falls further down the river network. Climb up the rock faces until you reach the second elevated cliff area near the top of the cascading waterfalls. Head right along the edge of the cliff, jump across the small gap, and dig up the buried treasure waiting at the cliffside.
Unlocking Rewards and Enchantments
Claiming this buried treasure provides a substantial boost to Kratos by awarding valuable crafting components and a unique accessory effect. The primary reward is the Niflheim's Virtue Amulet Enchantment, which enhances Kratos' combat efficiency when slotted into the Yggdrasil Amulet. In addition to the enchantment, players receive ten Shattered Runes alongside essential upgrade resources like Stonewood, Honed Metal, and Dwarven Steel.
Tips for Navigating Vanaheim Efficiently
It is best to attempt this treasure search during or after the main quest line in Vanaheim to ensure full access to all river routes. Clearing out surrounding enemies in Noatun's Garden beforehand allows for uninterrupted exploration of the ruins. Keeping an eye out for environmental landmarks like waterfalls and climbing walls makes finding the final location straightforward.
