In addition, one more relative to the subject was designed in God of War Ragnarok, where players are to complete the side quest “A Stag for All Seasons” implying searching for and bringing four mythological stags representing four seasons.
The locations for each stag are described in detail, so players can successfully and rewardingly finish this particular quest with Ratatoskr.
Now let’s look at what each stair is and how one can find and secure each stag in Midgard and other realms.
How Stag for All Seasons Begins
All the tasks start by finding Ratatoskr at Sindri’s House where he explains the concept of the seasonal stags located throughout the Nine Realms.
Although the plot of the poem and the game are very different, Ratatoskr, the spirit of Yggdrasil decided to summon these creatures and Kratos and Atreus are to find them.
Each stag is located through traveling to the realms and regions and the process is activated through the quest in the game. Every stag is located in a region where the player can use the Mystic Gateway or create a path in front of it.
Key Rewards and Benefits
When players kill all remaining stags, Ratatoskr gives gamers precious items, experiential points, and resources to enhance Kratos’s weapons and gear.
This quest also helps in fact with game completion in general and gives players experience and ratings to advance to the higher levels and get unique items.
Also, it is worth recalling that all stags brought an exclusive association with Norse mythology into the game, which contributes to the creation of the game’s environment.
Location of the Four Stags: Detailed Breakdown
Every stag represents a season and to find it one has to travel through different places within realms. Here’s a closer look at each stag’s position and what players can expect in their quest:
1. Spring Stag Location
The Spring Stag is available in The Crater in the Vanaheim region of the game. It can be found near Celestial Altar and the grassy mood matches the new season.
However, to open The Crater area make sure you’ve gotten through the main story up to the point when Kratos can travel around relatively isolated Vanaheim. When you see the stag, engage it to make the stag return.
2. Summer Stag Location
The Summer Stag is located in the center of The Plains in Vanaheim. Being oriented at the summer, here the players will face the warm and active evenings that symbolize this season.
To access this area, go to the Mystic Gateway in The Plains and take on foes on the way. After clearing most obstacles in the surrounding area enemies, players will encounter the stag relaxed and just swallowing until it is necessary to interact.
3. Autumn Stag Location
At The Sinkholes in Vanaheim players or gamers will look for the Autumn Stag. This is the part of the year cycle manifested by the leaves that are falling to the ground and the orange color.
Climb through the sinkholes, choosing the gateway that should be located near the mark on the map. This part of the quest is completed by getting near the Autumn Stag you found earlier in the process.
4. Winter Stag Location
The last one is called the Winter Stag, which is located in the Jungle, region of the world Vanaheim. This stage is all about winter, snow, and frost – it can be seen from the surroundings opening and the slight shivering in the air.
The stag stands near a frozen stream, which makes the picture more close to the winter. To complete the quest finally and to go back to Ratatoskr to receive honors, this kind of coming to meet the stag and to have direct communication or touch with the stag is mandatory.
Final Rewards and Quest Completion
After you spend time with four stacks, go back to Ratatoskr in Sindri’s House to finish the “A Stag for All Seasons” quest. Ratatoskr gives a list of rewards you get in the game such as crafting material, experience points, and special items that assist Kratos in his quest.
