God of War Ragnarok takes players on an unforgettable journey across the legendary Nine Realms, each packed with distinct biomes and dangerous hidden secrets. Among the most popular collection challenges scattered throughout the game is tracking down and destroying Odin's spy networks, which manifest as glowing green avians. While massive regions like Svartalfheim and Alfheim hold dozens of these targets, the bleak and frozen realm of Helheim features a much smaller total.
Finding the First Spy in Helgrind
Players will get their chance to clear this icy domain of the Allfather's watchful eyes when Kratos returns during a key story sequence later in the game. The initial target can be spotted shortly after you transition into the local sub-region known appropriately as Helgrind. As you push forward into the area, keep an eye on the open sky to the left of the main stone pathways.
You will notice the glowing creature flying low in rhythmic circles within a nearby clearing. To take it down successfully, you will need to utilize the Draupnir Spear, adjusting your throw to match the bird's movement patterns. Successfully hitting this target requires steady timing, but it marks your first major step toward clearing the realm entirely.
Tracking the Second Target at Hel's Perch
The final avian spy inside the frozen realm is inaccessible until you resolve the intense conflict involving the massive wolf beast named Garm. Once that epic battle is complete, players can navigate back down toward the southern edges near the Hel's Perch Mystic Gateway. From this fast travel node, descend the nearby stone steps and immediately cut left toward a grapple wall.
Scale the icy rock face and follow the winding path until you notice glowing runes carved into the background scenery. Look directly above these ancient symbols to see the final green bird resting quietly on a high rocky ledge. A simple throw of your Leviathan Axe or spear will shatter this target and secure complete exploration progress for the area.
Claiming Your Valuable Raven Tree Rewards
Hunting down these spectral creatures serves a much greater purpose than merely boosting your completion percentages on the regional map. Each successful strike feeds back into a broader favor called The Eyes of Odin, which can be turned in at Niflheim. Visiting the mysterious Raven Tree allows you to unlock specialized legendary armor pieces and powerful runic attacks as your tally grows.
Because Helheim only requires you to hunt down two targets, it acts as a quick and highly rewarding destination for completionists. Taking the time to scour these locations ensures your combat gear is upgraded enough to handle the game's toughest optional challenges.
