God Of War PS4 Collector's Edition Map Hides A Secret

God of War is an enormous game, so it's likely that there are plenty of secrets hidden throughout it. But what few people could have guessed was that there'd be something revealed by clues buried in the physical map that came with the Collector's Edition. (Warning: some spoilers below.)

As Kotaku reported, players have now unraveled a puzzle that stems from runes scattered across the Collector's Edition map. These runes were deciphered by YouTube user BRKsEDU, who used in-game alphabets to assist in the transliteration. You can read the full runic riddle at the bottom of this article; essentially, it recounts the tale of Sindri and Brok and their journey for treasure.

This riddle led passionate fans in a quest for treasure ranging across the game's world, but eventually user SkipOneEBR found a final clue in the physical map. Letters along the left and right sides corresponded to "steps" through the map, tracing the paths of Brok and Sindri. Eventually, these paths end at the Muspelheim Temple. By following the instructions at the end of the riddle, you can unlock a rift which contains a special pommel for Kratos' axe with some pretty great stats.
