Across the Realms is one of the many Favors players will stumble upon when freely exploring Lake of the Nine in God of War Ragnarok. Kratos will find a cooking book with a list of ingredients and search for them in all nine Realms.
Although Across the Realms may seem like an easy Favor in God of War Ragnarok, some ingredients will be a challenge as some quests must be completed beforehand. It's also fun to note that players will occasionally find a Nornir Chest next to these unique ingredients.
Where To Find All Ingredients In God Of War Ragnarok
To find all ingredients’ locations in God of War Ragnarok, players need to visit four different Realms. While exploring, finding a heart drawn on the stones in any of the Realms is a clear indication that an ingredient can be found nearby. These four ingredients are:
Nordic Gourd From Midgard
The Nordic Gourd is arguably the easiest ingredient to find in God of War Ragnarok. Upon acquiring the recipe book, turn around and head northeast to the ledge. A big yellow heart will be drawn on the rocks across the platform. Jump down and investigate the glowing area to get the Nordic Gourd.
Prongfruit From Svartalfheim
To get the Prongfruit, the train that players used in the Quest for Tyr must be used to reach the desired area. Sadly, it will be no longer available until the tenth chapter Forging Destiny is complete in God of War Ragnarok. The latter will unlock a nearby Mystic Gateway and unlock the train access. Here’s how to get the ingredient after completing the requirement:
- Fast travel to the Nioavellir Beach Mystic Gateway.
- Proceed southeast to use the train.
- Descend the wooden bridge and go northwest.
- Run north until a green heart appears to the right.
- Jump over the marked rock and collect the Prongfruit.
Elven Cap From Alfheim
Elven Cap can be found in The Forbidden Sands, which is why it’s highly recommended that players complete the Song of the Sands for easier navigation. Upon completing the Favor in God of War Ragnarok, head west from The Hjarta Mystic Gateway. Eventually, Kratos will find a broken column with a red heart drawn on the stone next to it. Go under the column and interact with the glowing pile to obtain the Elven Cap.
Bantam Melon From Vanaheim
The Bantam Melon is a bit complicated as it requires a series of steps:
- Creatures of Prophecy, which is the thirteenth chapter players must complete by helping Freya rescue her brother, rewarding them with the paper boat.
- Completing the Scent of Survival to reach The Crater is a crucial step because the ingredient is found in The Skinholes.
- Return of the River Favor in God of War Ragnarok will restore the rivers in The Crater, which is an essential step.
After reaching the Skinholes and opening the Skinholes Entrance Mystic Gateway, complete the following steps:
- Go through the tunnel above it and deal with the dragon.
- Head right and open the gate using the chains next to it.
- Go back to the gateway and use the red hook to return to the boat.
- Use the boat to go through the newly opened gate.
- Dock the boat next to the celestial altar.
- Proceed northeast to open up a second gate in God of War Ragnarok.
- Jump to the platform across then to the one on the right.
- Grab the Bantam Melon near the orange heart.
Upon acquiring all necessary items, head back to the camp in Midgard to combine all ingredients. This mission rewards a crucial item called Meal of Comfort, which boosts Kratos’s stats permanently (+5).
God of War Ragnarok is available now for PS4 and PS5.
