Astro Bot is chock full of references and secrets, and those two can align in some cases. While playing, you get a chance to do as Kratos does. No, I don’t mean yelling at Atreus. You can track down eight of Odin’s ravens in Bot of War, and here’s how.
Bot of War is the last level you need to finish in the second galaxy of Astro Bot, called the Tentacle System. After the boss is gone, travel to the new location for a chilly reception.
The first raven is a gimme. But before you can start hunting down the rest, you’ll need to meet the bot facsimiles of Kratos and Atreus. Once you get your hands on the Leviathan Axe and gain its power, it’s time to take it for a spin.
All locations of Odin’s ravens in Astro Bot – Bot of War
You destroy the ravens in much the same way you could in God of War. Fling the Leviathan Axe at a target using the right trigger. Press the button again to recall it to your hand. When you’re close enough to a raven, you should see a target reticle appear. Hit the trigger to knock the feathered foe from its perch.
Raven 1
The first hidden raven can be claimed right at the start of Bot of War when you’re flying into the level. You can see the raven on top of the stone pillar sticking out of the water just before the entrance.
Raven 2
The second raven is a bit more hidden than the last. To find it, use the Leviathan Axe to destroy a block of ice to the left of the giant, yellow head. It reveals a jump pad you can take to get to the top of the giant’s dome. Once you’re up there, rescue the Thrúd bot and turn around. The raven is standing at the end of a wooden walkway.
Raven 3
The third raven can be found soon after the last. Tightrope across the water and look for the raven perched on a ledge to the left of the massive, ornate door.
Raven 4
From the fourth raven, head left and shatter the ice to reveal some wires. Pull up the wires for the massive horn, which calls Jörmungandr. Use the jump pad to get onto the giant snake. After getting the Thor bot, look toward the ice wall in front of you and take out the raven at the top.
Raven 5
To the right of the large, ornate door is Chaurli, the giant tortoise featured in the first God of War game. Hop down to its island and pull the lever to flip the dog and reveal the Freya bot. Standing on the tortoise, look for the raven perched on the structure nearby.
Raven 6
Head through the door (at last) and find the sixth raven resting along the ice wall to the left of the next entrance.
Raven 7
After destroying the sixth raven, look to your right for a block of ice you can destroy with the axe. Doing so reveals a jump pad. Take it and hold forward while attacking to shred through destructible ice walls.
Beyond the walls, you’ll find a tree with the ravens you’ve knocked out so far perched in its branches. To the left is a mural of all the ravens in the level, with the ones you’ve destroyed outlined in green. After beating the nearby enemies, kill the nearby raven that head-napped Mimir. It’s flying around the tree.
Raven 8
The next raven won’t appear until after you knock over the massive Mjolnir statue. Look for the raven hiding just behind it.
