Those looking to earn some extra Hacksilver to craft gear or upgrades in should consider searching for all the Family Crests in Vanaheim. Unlike Frozen Flames or Chaos Flames, these crests hold no worth to Kratos or his equipment. On the other hand, families throughout multiple realms see such Artifacts as highly valuable treasures.
The NPC characters Brok and Sindri are more than willing to pay Kratos handsomely for finding these rarities hidden throughout the realm. Accordingly, collecting all the Family Crestsis an excellent way to make some quick coins. Those who earn enough Quicksilver from Family Crests will have enough money to buy some of the strongest weapons and armor in .
Every Family Crest can be found within Vanaheim in , meaning Kratos does not need to visit other realms to complete their crest set. There are six Family Crests in total scattered throughout the realm in important places you visit. The family heirlooms can be tracked down in any order, as long as you explore these areas:
Many of these locations are ones you will already travel through during the main story, so make sure to look around each area carefully to find hidden Family Crests.
To find a Family Crest, look on the ground for a small item node glowing with a bright purple hue. Interacting with these nodes will cause Kratos to pick up the crest as Freya provides some backstory on its owner.
The best upgrades to Kratos' health and rage come from Nornir Treasure Chests, two of which are found in the fiery realm of Muspelheim behind puzzles.
