God Of War: All Hidden Chamber Locations (& How To Open Them)

As Kratos and Atreus make their way to various locations in God of War they'll encounter the Hidden Chambers of Odin. There are seven Hidden Chamber locations that span across three of the six realms in God of War, and each of them is locked behind powerful magic. Once Kratos and Atreus are able to unlock the Hidden Chambers, however, they'll face another mini-boss and gain access to powerful gear.

Accessing each of the Hidden Chambers of Odin can be done after players beat God of War, and it may be best to wait until after beating the game to open the Hidden Chambers anyways. Each of the Hidden Chambers is guarded by a Valkyrie, which is one of the strongest types of opponents Kratos and Atreus face in God of War. Additionally, defeating every Valkyrie unlocks God of War's Queen of the Valkyries boss fight. Kratos should at least be level six in his overall power before trying to take on each of these bosses, and level seven for the Queen of the Valkyries. Otherwise, each fight is nearly impossible to get through.

Before Kratos and Atreus can face each of the Valkyries and claim the rewards of the Hidden Chambers of Odin, they'll have to first get the Magic Chisel. Getting the Magic Chisel is part of the main story, so as players begin to cross paths with the Hidden Chambers they'll have to wait to open them until they defeat Magni and Modi. Magni and Modi are the sons of Thor in God of War and Norse mythology, and their defeat has set up Thor to be an antagonist in the upcoming God of War Ragnarok game set to release later in 2022.

Though most of the Hidden Chambers of Odin are in Midgard, there is one located in Alfheim and as well as Helheim. Once players have acquired the Magic Chisel, each of the Hidden Chambers can be opened by interacting with specific parts of the door that glow brightly as Kratos brings the chisel over them. Additionally, there are several hidden areas throughout God of War that require the Magic Chisel to open them as well, but they are not the Hidden Chambers of Odin.

The Hidden Chambers of Odin can be found in the following locations:

• Wildwoods: Behind Kratos' Home
• Witch's Cave: Near Freya's Home Entrance
• Foothills: Where Sindri appears in God of War for the first time
• The Mountain: Inside the mountain where Kratos and Atreus use the claw to reach the top
• Thamur's Corpse: Between the giant's fingers
• Alfheim: Stay to the left side of the lake heading toward the Ringed Temple to find a beach with two caves. The Hidden Chamber is in the cave marked by a horseshoe.
• Helheim: Reach this Hidden Chamber by having Atreus clear sap on the left side of the main path near the bridge
