The Jewels of Yggdrasil are more collectibles to find in God of War: Ragnarok. They are needed to repair the Amulet of Yggdrasil which you will come upon during The Reckoning quest.
The Amulet of Yggdrasil is an important item in the game. It features nine slots, but only two slots will be fixed at the start. You will need to find the remaining seven Jewels of Yggdrasil to repair all seven slots at Sindri’s workshop.
When you have fully repaired the Amulet of Yggdrasil, you will unlock the How it’s Going trophy and get the ability to equip buffs and passives in each slot.
The additional, bonus effects of the amulet are going to be a massive help against strong enemies. Hence, it is vital that you find all of the jewels as early as possible.
The following guide will tell you where to find the Jewels of Yggrasil in God of War: Ragnarok.
Vanaheim Jewel of Yggdrasil locations
Naotun’s Garden
The first Jewel of Yggdrasil can be found in a Legendary Chest located in Noatun’s Garden.
Make your way to the north side of the river to get to the ruins. You will find a locked door here under the giant roots of the tree. You need to burn away the bramble to free the counterweight.
The Jungle
The second Jewel of Yggdrasil can be found in a Legendary Chest in the northeastern part of the Jungle.
You can only access this chest after completing the Return of the River and during the day. If it is night, you need to head to a Celestial Alter to change the time to day.
This is the same area where you fight the Ogres. Make your way forward until you find the chest inside a large cage. Solve the little puzzle to lift the cage and open the chest.
Alfheim Jewel of Yggdrasil locations
The Forbidden Sands
You will not be able to get to this Jewel of Yggdrasil until later in the game. When you finally get access to the Forbidden Sands, make your way to the Elven Sanctum in the northeastern corner of the area. The Legendary Chest with the Jewel is in the main library inside.
Midgard Jewel of Yggdrasil locations
Well of Urd
You need to defeat the Frost Phantom to get a Jewel of Yggdrasil. This boss fight is unmissable. You will encounter the Frost Phantom in Chapter 9 when you start investigating the Well of Urd.
The Oarsmen
You can get the next Jewel of Yggrasil from a Legendary Chest in The Oarsmen area. There you will interact with huge chains to move forward. While moving forward, you will see a stair on the right side.
Head downstairs and turn right to find the Legendary Chest with the Jewel.
Svartalfheim Jewel of Yggdrasil Locations
The Forge
You will be able to acquire the Jewel as a reward for defeating the ogre during the Forging Destiny quest. This is unmissable.
Alberich Island
The final Jewel of Yggrasil can be looted from a Legendary Chest at end of Alberich Island in Svartalfheim.
How to use the Jewels of Yggdrasil
Once you have gathered all of the Jewels of Yggdrasil, take them and the amulet to Sindri. He will repair the amulet to unlock additional enchantment sockets.
Take note that the Amulet of Yggdrasil allows you to equip different types of enchantments. These include enchantment sets that grant realm-specific passives. Equipping three of a set will grant an additional bonus.
There are also individual enchantments that provide no passives and are neither realm-specific. They only offer stat boosts to increase your offense or defense.
