This God of War Guide will help you uncover all lost Idunn Apples in God of War 4. With directions for each location and the instructions for getting there in the shortest time, you will find our God of War Idunn Apples Locations quite useful.
God of War Idunn Apples
Idunn Apples in God of War are rare items that are unearthed by Atreus and Kratos. There are a total of 9 Idunn Apples hidden around in the world of God of War. Although most of these are acquirable through completion of Main Story Missions, you will need to venture out and away from the main path for the other ones.
What Do Idunn Apples Do in God of War
Kratos has limited health at the start of the game and if you are struggling to defeat enemies in God of War, you might want to consider increasing his maximum health. That is where Idunn Apples come in. Finding and consuming Idunn Apples in GoW will increase Kratos’s HP bar.
If you are looking to upgrade your HP bar indefinitely, you will only require x3 Idunn Apples. Otherwise, if you are the completionist type, be our guest and take a look at the locations for all the God of War Idunn Apples below.
