Yggdrasil Rifts in God of War: Ragnarök are special portals spread throughout the nine realms. Finding and entering these realms will net you some great rewards (Hacksilver and materials), but you will have to defeat some tough enemies in most of these rifts. There are 15 Yggdrasil Rifts in God of War Ragnarok, and if you want their locations, you have come to the right place, as we will help you find each rift in the game.
