God of War Ragnarok contains 14 Relic Locations, also called Sword Hilts. Finding all Relics and Hilts unlocks the Collector trophy. Relics and Hilts are the same thing, the game just calls them differently.
It’s recommended that you first follow the God of War Ragnarok Collectible Locations Guide for 100% Completion. You will get all Relics automatically from that. If you overlooked one during your hunt for 100% completion, refer to the list below. You need the Lost Pages (Lore Scrolls) to unlock some of them for crafting as well as unique materials dropped by specific enemies, if you got 100% completion you would have gotten all of these automatically. None of the Relics are missable, you can still get all of them after the story in free roam. If you didn’t pick up one that was dropped by an enemy, it will automatically be placed in the blue chest at the blacksmith. You can pick it up from there at any time, so nothing is missable.
You can check which ones you found under Weapons > Relics. You can use them in battle by pressing L1 + Circle Button. Each Relic gives you a powerful attack but they have a long cooldown. Only one Relic can be equipped at a time. This guide lists them in the same order as the in-game menu so that you can easily compare them against your list after reaching 100% completion.
For the unique crafting materials you can check under Codex > Resources > Unique Resources that you got them. But remember for the craftable ones you also need the Lost Pages lore collectibles, otherwise they won’t show up for crafting at the blacksmith.

Relic #8: Hilt of Forsbrandr
You must find all 48 Odin’s Ravens to open the 6 Legendary Chests at Niflheim, The Raven Tree. After opening all 6 chests a boss spawns, called “The Raven Keeper”. Follow it down the hill and turn right, into the arena. Defeat this boss, it drops the Relic.

Dropped from the second of three Oath Guard minibosses you kill in Vanaheim, The Plains. There are 3 of these minibosses in the region, they are armored knights on optional side paths. It doesn’t matter which two you kill. The second one you defeat always drops this Relic.
Relic #13: Motsognir’s Call
Picked up in Niflheim, Aesir Prison Wreckage. To the left of the Legendary Chest in this region, on the top floor of the prison. It’s not tracked in the region overview for 100% completion so can be easy to overlook it, but you can go back any time to grab it. The region is only available after the story, via a new path that opens up to the left of The Raven Tree in Niflheim.
Relic #14: Hilt of Hofud
Automatic story reward, dropped by Story Boss “Heimdall” in Main Quest 13: Creatures of Prophecy.
That’s all 14 Relics (Hilts) in God of War Ragnarok. After getting the last one you will earn the Collector trophy.

My last trophy, thanks so nuch for all the guides guys! Excellent work.
Hey all, I’m in real need of help!
My last Relic for [Collector] ended up being Motsognir’s Call in the prison by the legendary chest on Niflheim.
When I pick it up though, the trophy doesn’t pop nor does the usual notification allowing you to click the center touch pad and go right into your inventory. I have all 14 relics after that one and 100% map completion across the board.
I’ve reloaded, closed the game, restarted the PS5, and still nothing has helped.
Has anyone run into this? Any solutions out there? Is there an official bug reporting area I can reach out to for help?
Thank you ahead of time for any help, suggestions, or recommendations!
*SOLVED!* Leaving here in case anyone needs this. As I said before, I needed just Motsognir’s Call in Niflheim. After troubleshooting, I activated/deactivated the immersive hud customization in the Gameplay settings and when I picked it up this time, the notification appeared on screen and then the trophy popped! Hopefully this helps someone!
Crackle of Bilskirnir
this raw material is for a relic, which is needed for my last trophy and can only be obtained from the miniboss Olaf, is that true?
somewhere in the midgame I did the Olaf quest, but the boss fell into the texture during the fight. mission accomplished, but I didn’t get a drop from her. it’s not even in the back chest at the forge. do you think the only option is to play the game again? or would work to load a save before the fight and create only the last relic that I’m missing?
or better wait for new game+?
I have almost the same trouble, i only need the hilt of Forsbrandr but when i killed the Raven Keeper did’nt get it, not even in the forge chest.
I guess i need the NG+ option to get only that and the platinum.
I have the exact same issue. They released a patch i believe so the mini boss would respawn. I killed it but it still didn’t drop that resource.
Hopefully they release another patch allowing you to get that resource elsewhere on the map.
I just beat Hrolf Got the boss trophy & the collector trophy pop on-screen, but in the troohy list, the collector trophy didnt count. I only have Gna left to fight for the Plat. I will report back if it fixes it, or if I remain plat-less… -_-
Anyone else have this issue, or a fix?
Yeah. Trophy is bugged for me. I have all of them but no trophy (ps5) sad, sad. This is the last one I needed
Think for the help! I just got the plat trophy after getting Motsognir’s call.
