All Jewel of Yggdrasil locations

Midgard and Svartalfheim – Story Quests

Two jewels of Yggdrasil will be obtained through normal story progression — one in Midgard and the other in Svartalfheim. Each one drops from battles that we won’t spoil here. You should have both if you’ve already completed The Word of Fate and Forging Destiny main quests. If you forgot to pick up the jewels, be sure to check the chest next to either of Brok’s and Sindri’s workshops as it collects your missing/lost items.

Vanaheim – Naotun’s Garden

The first hidden gem of Yggdrasil you will access is located in Vanaheim. You will first visit this realm in a main story quest, but the jewel can be found after completing the quest. Navigate to The garden of Naotunjust east of the Mystic Gateway River delta.

Use the new sigil arrows to burn the red vines covering the entrance to the ruins in the garden of Naotun. Once the vines are gone, enter to find a gold chest containing the jewel.

Alfheim – The Forbidden Sands

You will be able to grab this jewel of Yggdrasil once you are able to enter the second, northern part of the elven desert. You will only gain access to this location after your first visit to Vanaheim. Make sure to talk to the two elves in Camp Vanaheim to start a quest about the Elven Sanctuary in Alfheim.

This gem is inside the Sanctuary of the Elves, just east of The Burrows. It is in a golden chest on the second floor of the small shrine. Prepare for a fight after picking up the jewel, as you will be attacked by a powerful Light Elf on your way out.

Midgard – The Oarsmen

This jewel of Yggdrasil can be picked up before or after the one in Alfheim, as long as you complete the first storyline in Vanaheim. Head to the northern part of the Lake of Nine, next to the rowers statues. The jewel is in another gold chest located underground.

Pull the giant chain sitting right in front of the rowers statues to open a path, revealing a hidden staircase that goes under the statues. The chest is right at the foot of the stairs and is directly across the room from the nearest Mystic Gateway.

Svartalfheim – Alberich Island

You will need it Draupnir Spear to reach the chest containing this jewel of Yggdrasil. Fortunately, you’ll already be in Svartalfheim when you get the spear. Instead of going straight to your next main story, enter Bounty’s Bay and head north, Alberich Island.

Use the Draupnir Spear to reach the tiny island just north of Lyngbakr Island, then solve the waterwheel puzzle using the spear and sigil arrows. The golden chest sits on a ledge above the water wheel.

Vanaheim – The Jungle

This gem can only be found after your second mandatory trip to Vanaheim. The story will bring you back here for the Creatures of Prophecy main quest. Completing the mission will open a new path leading north from the main camp. After finishing Creatures of Prophecy, follow Helka in the new Scent of Survival side quest to reach the Jungle.

The chest is located near the entrance to the Mystic Gateway jungle, and can only be reached after unblocking the barrier in the area. You will then be able to navigate to the point on the map below. There will be a hole in the ground, in the middle of a large clearing. Jump down to find Yggdrasil’s final jewel and another gold chest.

How to use the jewels of Yggdrasil

When you have a Jewel of Yggdrasil in your possession, go to any of Brok and Sindri’s shops to ask them for an upgrade. Go to the Armor tab to find the Amulet of Yggdrasil, then use the jewels to unlock more charm slots. The game will let you know when an amulet upgrade is available, like how companions often solve puzzles for you.
