Reuniting with Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in God of War Ragnarok is an absolute joy. Many players' favorite aspect of the 2018 game was simply traveling around the massive hub area and listening to Mimir's stories. We're glad to see that this aspect returns in the sequel, with even more opportunities to put off your main objective for a while.

Among all the collectibles, side quests, and Labours in God of War Ragnarok, you will also come across a select few treasure maps. While not on the level of a full side quest, these little tasks present you with the challenge of locating the right spot to find the hidden treasure. The first you can find is called the Vulture's Gold treasure map, which will reward you with plenty of crafting resources to improve your gear. If you're stumped on locating this loot, here's how to find the Vulture's Gold treasure in God of War Ragnarok.

How to find Vulture's Gold

The way treasure maps work is simple but never straightforward. Once you locate the map, you will be given a picture and a vague clue about where it is, but that's it. There won't be any map markers or waypoints to guide you to it. Here's where you need to go to get the map and find the treasure.

Step 1: Play the game up through the last mission in Alfheim.

Step 2: Before you're about to leave, a new area will open up.

Step 3: Go through the opening, and the map will be right in your path.

Step 4: The map will state, "In search of peace, The beast finds only war, Its last breath of life atop the sands, Its last meal of gold beneath the bones," and show an image of what looks like the inside of a massive mouth.

Step 5: Mount the sleigh and go into The Barrens.

Step 6: Head to the far northeast corner of the map.

Step 7: Locate the skull of a giant monster.

Step 8: Go inside, to the back, and look for a spot you can interact with on the floor.

Step 9: Dig up the treasure!

How to gameshare on PS5
Playstation 5 with a controller.

It’s safe to say that we are inching closer and closer to a world without physical discs. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series S mark the first time we’ve been able to purchase a major console at launch without a disk drive, which has raised concerns for gamers who like sharing their games with friends and family. Thankfully, like the PlayStation 4, the PS5 includes a feature that allows for just that. However, with every new console comes a new interface and system to navigate. Here’s what you need to know about gamesharing on the PS5.

God of War TV show officially ordered to series by Amazon
Kratos looks at the Leviathan Axe.

Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television will move forward with developing a live-action television series based on the God of War series of games.
Variety reports that Amazon has ordered this previously-rumored show to series and that it will focus on adapting the narrative of the 2018 game, where Kratos explores the Norse realms with his son Atreus while on a quest to spread his wife's ashes from the highest peak in Jotunheim. This God of War show will also add to a strong lineup of notable fantasy IP on Amazon Prime, as the service also features shows based on The Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time. In fact, The Wheel of Time executive producer Rafe Judkins will act as the God of War series' showrunner.
Joining Judkins will be writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, who are known for their work on Children of Men, 2008's Iron Man, Cowboys & Aliens, and The Expanse. God of War director Cory Barlog will be an executive producer alongside Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, Yumi Yang, Jeff Ketcham, and Roy Lee.
Recently, PlayStation has been making a significant push into the film and television scene with movies like Uncharted and shows like The Last of Us, which airs on HBO in January. Projects based on Twisted Metal, Ghost of Tsushima, and Jak & Daxter are also in the works. It makes sense to expand God of War to the medium of television, especially after November's God of War Ragnarok became Sony's fastest-selling first-party game of all time.
It will be interesting to see if any elements from that sequel, and the original trilogy on PS2 and PS4, also make their way into the first season of this show. The God of War live-action series does not currently have an announced release date or cast.
