Players will get the Draupnir spear duringChapter 10 ofGod of War Ragnarokas part of a questline that requires them to find a weapon capable of defeating an opponent who can read Kratos' every move. That’s not the only use for the Draupnir spear, however, with players also able to use it to open Nornir Chests and gain access to new areas, including some in places that they have already visited.

After making their way throughthe Myrkr Tunnels, players will find themselves in The Forge. After solving a few puzzles that involve freezing geysers to move waterwheels, they’ll eventually come to the elevator that will take them to the Lady of The Forge. Unfortunately, however, the elevator is broken, so players will need to collect some nearby materials to help Brok fix it. After that, they’ll be introduced to the Lady and will finally get their hands on the Draupnir Spear.
How to Use the Draupnir Spear in God of War Ragnarok
Players can switch to the Draupnir Spear by pressing Down on the D-pad. As with Kratos' other two weapons, the spear can be used for light and heavy melee attacks. It’s a lot more likethe Leviathan Axethan the Blades of Chaos though, as players will also be able to use the Draupnir spear as a projectile. In fact, thanks to Draupnir, they’ll be able to throw an infinite number of projectiles and can even detonate them by pressing the Triangle button.
As well as being able to open up certainNornir Chests like the ones at The Forgeand The Strond, players can also use the Draupnir spear to gain access to new areas. If ever they see a golden crack, throwing a Draupnir spear into it and then detonating the spear will destroy part of the environment and open up a new path. Similarly, if players should ever come across a spout of wind, throwing a spear directly inside it will allow them to climb on the spear to reach previously inaccessible places.
God of War Ragnarokis available now for PS4 and PS5.
