God of War Ragnarok features several rewarding treasure hunts across its vast realms, and uncovering the A Scar Is Born map provides players with valuable crafting materials and unique enchantments. Locating this specific treasure requires completing certain realm prerequisites before the map becomes accessible in Vanaheim. Tracking down both the scroll and its hidden chest rewards completionists looking to maximize Kratos' equipment.
Prerequisites for Finding the Treasure Map
Before you can retrieve the A Scar Is Born treasure map, you must first complete the Return of the River favor located in The Jungle region of Vanaheim. Completing this quest floods the dry riverbeds, restoring water flow across The Crater and allowing canoe navigation throughout the area. Without restoring the water, reaching the small island where the scroll resides is completely impossible.
Once the waterways are flooded, row your boat toward the small central island located in the southern portion of The Plains. Land at the island's dock and head toward the northern tip near the Yggdrasil Rift. You will find the glowing treasure map resting on the ground, ready to be added to your journal.
Finding the Buried Treasure Location
Solving the riddle attached to A Scar Is Born requires heading toward the eastern boundary of The Plains region. Travel on foot toward the curved pathway that leads directly to the zipline pointing down into The Sinkholes. As you traverse this path, you will pass under a massive curved stone archway built into the environment.
Look closely near the base of the large stone ring structure for a subtle golden glow in the dirt. Interacting with the glowing spot prompts Kratos to dig up the buried treasure chest. The location is extremely close to the main archway, making it easy to spot once you arrive in the area.
Rewards for Completing A Scar Is Born
Unearthing this hidden stash grants a substantial package of resources to enhance Kratos' combat capabilities and gear. Players receive 4 Asgardian Ingots, 4 Luminous Alloys, 4 Petrified Bones, and 75 Shattered Runes. These crafting items are crucial for upgrading high-tier armor pieces and weapon attachments at Brok and Sindri's shop.
In addition to raw resources, completing this hunt awards the Asgard's Justice Amulet Enchantment. Equipping this enchantment into the Yggdrasil Amulet enhances Kratos' melee capabilities based on his total Cooldown stat. Finishing the quest also contributes directly toward achieving full realm completion for Vanaheim.
