To achieve “The Curator” trophy in God of War Ragnarök, you must collect all artifacts throughout the game. Artifacts are essential for enriching your understanding of the lore and can also be sold for Hacksilver. There are two primary types of artifacts: Local Artifacts and Kvasir’s Poems. Below is a comprehensive guide outlining where to find each artifact across various realms in the game.

Artifact Types

1. Local Artifacts: These artifacts are specific to certain realms and are showcased on a bench located in Sindri’s House. They contribute to the game’s lore and provide an opportunity to earn Hacksilver when sold.

2. Kvasir’s Poems: These are hidden collectibles that function as optional easter eggs throughout multiple realms. Once collected, they are displayed on the shelves between Kratos and Atreus’s rooms in Sindri’s House.
