The following section will dive into how you can easily collect the much-coveted Shoulder Straps of Radiance in God of War Ragnarok.


Locating the Shoulder Straps of Radiance in God of War Ragnarok

To obtain the Shoulder Straps of Radiance in God of War Ragnarok, you will have to complete The Barrens quest in the game's main narrative, which will grant you access to the Secret of the Sand Favor side quest.

Hence, to get your hands on this piece of gear, follow the steps below:

  • Encounter the Secret of the Sand side quest, which you will receive only after you finish The Barrens quest. The side quest will lead you to a desert in Alfheim, which is a realm that is unlocked after you have successfully cleared the Tower of Light with Tyr.
  • When completing the mission, the objectives will take you to an Elf hive inside a cave, where they have bound and captured a jellyfish-like creature called the Hafgufa in God of War Ragnarok. The Creature will look like it’s trying to sing but will not be able to, and you will be tasked to free it by breaking all of the bindings.
  • After making your way to the center of the cave, you will spot the path blocked by gold ore on your left. You can destroy it using the red jar which is located there. Once you make your way through, you will have a proper angle on all the bindings and a Twilight Stone. You have to line up the Leviathan Axe properly and throw it to destroy the bindings.

  • The final binding will be out by the entrance of the cave. By looking up to the left you will be able to spot another Twilight Stone. Lining the axe with the building on the far left will destroy the structure.
  • You will then need to go to the Hafgufa and release it, thereby completing the mission. However, before you reach the top and exit the cave, you will notice a Legendary Chest located to the left of the final room. Upon interacting with it, you can obtain the Shoulder Straps of Radiance.

At this point, the chest is easy to spot, as players usually make their way to the top after freeing the Hafgufa before exploring the final portion of the cave.
