God of War Ragnarok: How to find the Vulture’s Gold treasure

By

Reuniting with Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in God of War Ragnarok is an absolute joy. Many players' favorite aspect of the 2018 game was simply traveling around the massive hub area and listening to Mimir's stories. We're glad to see that this aspect returns in the sequel, with even more opportunities to put off your main objective for a while.

What You Need

  • Unlock The Barrens area

Among all the collectibles, side quests, and Labours in God of War Ragnarok, you will also come across a select few treasure maps. While not on the level of a full side quest, these little tasks present you with the challenge of locating the right spot to find the hidden treasure. The first you can find is called the Vulture's Gold treasure map, which will reward you with plenty of crafting resources to improve your gear. If you're stumped on locating this loot, here's how to find the Vulture's Gold treasure in God of War Ragnarok.

How to find Vulture's Gold

The way treasure maps work is simple but never straightforward. Once you locate the map, you will be given a picture and a vague clue about where it is, but that's it. There won't be any map markers or waypoints to guide you to it. Here's where you need to go to get the map and find the treasure.

Step 1: Play the game up through the last mission in Alfheim.

Step 2: Before you're about to leave, a new area will open up.

Step 3: Go through the opening, and the map will be right in your path.

Step 4: The map will state, "In search of peace, The beast finds only war, Its last breath of life atop the sands, Its last meal of gold beneath the bones," and show an image of what looks like the inside of a massive mouth.

Step 5: Mount the sleigh and go into The Barrens.

Step 6: Head to the far northeast corner of the map.

Step 7: Locate the skull of a giant monster.

Step 8: Go inside, to the back, and look for a spot you can interact with on the floor.

Step 9: Dig up the treasure!

How to start the God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla DLC
Kratos outside the gates of Valhalla.

Over a year after launch, God of War: Ragnarok got a surprise addition of new content in the form of the Valhalla DLC. Revealed at The Game Awards 2023 and available for free less than a week later, this new adventure takes place after the conclusion of the main story and sees Kratos travel to the titular realm of the gods. Billed as a primarily rogue-like experience, there is quite a bit more to this DLC than some may be expecting.

Since it does technically follow the events of the main game, many players may wonder if they need to first see the story through before they can access it, or at what point it will become available. We may not be as wise as Mimir, but we can share some knowledge on how to start the Valhalla DLC in God of War: Ragnarok.

Where to find Aunt May’s grave in Spider-Man 2
Peter visiting his aunt and uncle's graves.

Peter Parker has had a hard life. He was orphaned by his parents as a child and raised by his caring Aunt May and Uncle Ben, only for Ben to be killed in an act that would shape Spider-Man's entire philosophy as a hero. Things only get worse during the events of the first act of Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 as Aunt May is tragically killed as well, leaving Peter with no more true parental figures. Peter hasn't forgotten all his caring aunt and uncle have done for him, and if you can find their gravesite, he will pay them respect, as well as earn you a Trophy. It's a big graveyard, though, and their site isn't marked on the map. Here's where Uncle Ben and Aunt May's graves are located in Spider-Man 2.
How to find Aunt May and Uncle Ben's graves

The graveyard is located at the most-northeastern point on the New York map in Harlem. If you have unlocked fast travel in this district, you can warp almost directly to the spot. Once in the graveyard, go forward down the middle into the open field. You might spot Mile's father's grave first. May and Ben's graves are directly to the right of that.

All suits in Spider-Man 2 and how to get them
Peter and Miles standing on a bridge

In the decades that the character of Spider-Man has existed, through comics, TV shows, games, and movies, he's gone through quite a few suits. Spider-Man 2 keeps the tradition alive by not only giving him a new suit to try out, but dozens and dozens of older ones to let you play as your favorite version of the webslinger. Oh, and did we mention Miles has his own extensive set of suits as well? Just like the first game, you won't be handed the keys to the wardrobe for free. Each suit not only needs to be unlocked but also crafted using City and Hero Tokens, as well as Tech parts to get access to the additional styles most suits have. If you're itching to dress up as the Spider-Man of your dreams as soon as you can, here is every suit in Spider-Man 2 and how you unlock them.

Note: Some suits are unlocked via story progress and could be considered spoilers. You have been warned.
