The harsh desert may yet hold some secrets behind the elven war. While their first visit was on the lush side where the Light Elves reside, in Ragnarok they visit the more arid Barrens, typically occupied by the Dark Elves. In their previous adventure, Kratos and Atreus battled the Dark Elves and defeated their commander, shifting the tide of the war in ways they'll now discover. Notably, most of Niflheim will be inaccessible for most of the game, so don't fret that you can't find everything there for a long while.Īlfheim is the realm where the Light and Dark Elves are locked in an unending conflict centered around the use of The Light of Alfheim, which is where the souls of animals and dwarves go after death. Here Kratos can use a combat training arena to practice and level up his existing Skills, as well as tend to a mysterious side quest rewarding you for slaying Odin's Ravens. This time around he's in a colder part of the realm, far from the poisonous mists of Ivaldi's Workshop. Niflheim is the realm of mist, and a place that Kratos visited during his last adventure. See the Svartalfheim Realm page for more information on each collectible, secret, and point of interest in every region. Svartalfheim is the first realm you get to truly explore with its various mining establishments, and the only one with a major settlement in Nidavellir. The dwarves name their home realm Nidavellir, the same name as their capital city. Svartalfheim's name is a bit of a misnomer, as the Aesir named it despite dwarves having little similarity to the elves of Alfheim.
