Exploring the expansive realm of Vanaheim in God of War Ragnarok leads players to numerous hidden secrets and optional challenges. Among these collectibles, the treasure hunt titled A Scar is Born provides valuable crafting resources and a powerful amulet enchantment. Finding both the scroll and the buried treasure requires navigating specific regional prerequisites within The Crater area.
Prerequisites and Unlocking the Treasure Map
Before players can retrieve the A Scar is Born treasure map, they must first restore the water flow throughout the region. This requires completing the Return of the River favor in The Jungle sub-region. Once the riverways are flooded, boat traversal opens up access to previously unreachable docks across The Plains.
With the water restored, navigate your boat toward the small southern island located in The Plains that separates the eastern and western halves of the region. Land at the dock near the Yggdrasil Rift and explore the northern tip of this small island. The scroll containing the treasure map rests clearly on the ground next to two prominent stone pillars.
Finding the Buried Treasure Location
After collecting the scroll, head east toward the entrance leading into The Sinkholes area. Along the main pathway, you will pass beneath a massive curved stone archway built into the environment. The glowing spot marking the buried treasure is located directly on the ground inside this stone ring structure.
Interacting with the mound unearths the buried chest instantly. Players who spend time gathering these maps complete regional lore entries while acquiring top-tier equipment upgrades. Keeping track of landmark structures makes locating these hidden spots straightforward during late-game exploration.
Complete List of Treasure Rewards
Unearthing the A Scar is Born buried loot yields high-value crafting materials alongside a special armor socket item. The primary reward is Asgard's Justice, an Amulet Enchantment that enhances your combat stats. In addition, players receive 4 Asgardian Ingots, 4 Luminous Alloys, 4 Petrified Bones, and 75 Shattered Runes.
These high-tier resources are essential for upgrading late-game armor sets, weapons, and attachments at the dwarven forge. Collecting every available treasure map ensures Kratos is fully prepared for tough endgame encounters and boss fights. Integrating these enchantment perks into your setup offers solid advantages in severe combat situations.
