God of War Ragnarok contains 48 Odin’s Raven Locations. This guide shows where to find all of them. They are the green ravens that either perch on objects or fly around in the sky. They make a screeching metallic sound which can help you hear them from far away.
Finding all Odin’s Ravens is needed to open all Legendary reward chests at The Raven Tree in Niflheim. That’s basically the rewards area where you turn in the ravens. Those chests contain an armor set and runic attacks. Getting all 48 Ravens is also mandatory for a Relic/Hilt to obtain the Collector trophy! This means for the platinum trophy they are all required.
None of the Ravens are missable. You can still get all of them after the story in free-roam.

Overview:
Svartalfheim
#1 – Aurvangar Wetlands
Immediately after exiting the Aurvangar Wetlands Mystic Gateway (portal), look to your left. There’s a green raven sitting on a rock, throw your axe at it. You can also hear the raven making a metallic screeching sound. If this is your first Raven, it will also unlock the “Eyes of Odin” Favor for finding all 48 Ravens.
#2 – Nidavellir
Next to the dwarves shop, go left and look up, a Raven sits on top of a house. Just to the left of the exit of this area.
#3 – The Applecore
After blowing up some rubble with your spear, follow the path to the end and look up at the ceiling. There’s a grappling point, press on it to swing across. Then you can climb down a golden chain, in the next room a Troll boss spawns, called “Miklimunnr”. Defeat him, then crouch through the tunnel in the back of the room. This leads into a room with a red resource chest, exit through the gate on the right and the Raven will be in front of you.
#4 – Jarnsmida Pitmines
Near the crane, drop down at the end of the path. You can throw your spear at a wall with wind coming out of it. This creates a path to jump over. Then you can see the raven flying in circles above the water in the middle of the area. Throw an axe at it when it flies by. It’s best to keep the cursor aimed at one point where it will always fly by, instead of moving it around. Let the raven fly into your cursor, throw the axe just a little bit beforehand.
#5 – The Forge
To get back to The Forge after the story, fast travel to the Mystic Gateway Svartalfheim > Nidavellir Beach (automatic story unlock). From there take the little train up the hill, leading to the Forge area. After the train ride, there will be a raven flying on the right. It always flies the same path in circles. Position yourself to look towards it when it comes flying in your direction and throw your axe to hit it in midair.
#6 – The Forge
Inside the main Forge area where you obtain the Spear weapon from the story. The raven sits on the left wall. To get back here after the story, use the same big lift you took with Brok during the story, there’s a lever in front of the lift you can press on to call the lift to you.
#7 – The Watchtower
There is a raven flying in circles around The Watchtower. Listen for the metallic screeching sound it makes. You’ll want to be facing it and throw your axe when it flies towards you to hit it midair. When standing at the Draugr hole look towards the path you came from, look up in the sky between two trees and wait until the raven flies by. It always flies on the same path. A quick throw with + will work best, aim a little bit ahead of the raven so it flies into the axe as it moves.
#8 – Althjof’s Rig
After reaching Althjof’s Rig by boat, climb up the golden chain, then immediately turn left to see this raven.
#9 – Radsvinn’s Rig

After throwing the explosive to clear the golden ore from the path, there’s a raven on the left side of the path, sitting under a tree.

Drop down the other side to find a big chain you must pull, this opens up the full region to grab the other collectibles.
