God of War features many puzzles and riddles that make the title more challenging for players. Using Kratos' powers and creativity, players are often forced to think outside the box in order to progress through puzzles and get to the rest of the game. One of God of War's simpler tasks, the Seasons Puzzle, is relatively easy to solve and is part of the game's Magic Chisel quest.
The Seasons Puzzle is located in Midgard near The Mason's Channel and Thamur's Corpse. The puzzle is effectively in a ruin, and Kratos is forced to send Atreus forward to relay him information. Then, whether playing God of War with keyboard or controller, players will have to take advantage of Kratos' abilities to complete the puzzle.
How to Solve the Seasons Puzzle
The Seasons Puzzle is dependent on a short line of dialogue that can be easily missed. In fact, new players, especially those who are now playing God of War on PC, should get in the habit of turning on their subtitles. The line is said by Atreus and gives Kratos the clue that the symbols on the wall, one for each season, are in the wrong order. To complete the puzzle and move forward, Kratos has to throw his Leviathan axe at each symbol to change it to a different one. The symbols all have two little circles at the bottom, one on the left and one of the right. Players will have to hit the proper circle to make the symbols move in the right direction.
The correct order of the symbols, from right to left, is winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Players only need to throw Kratos' axe to complete the puzzle; none of God of War's powerful armor or gear is required. Once the puzzle is successfully completed, the circular targets will be covered and the symbols of the seasons will glow. All things considered, the puzzle shouldn't take much more than a few minutes.
The Seasons Puzzle in God of War is solved easily and is important for continuing the Magic Chisel quest. Like many of the other puzzles in God of War, the Seasons Puzzle represents a great transition to the rest of the game. Now that it is on PC, players can experience the entertaining challenges of God of War in 4K resolution, too. Indeed, God of War has never been more stunning or accessible, which means that the title is more engaging than ever before.
God of War is available now on PC, PS4, and PS5.
