Players must solve a crane puzzle found in The Abandoned Village of Vanaheim in God of War: Ragnarök to unlock the Helios Flare Runic Attack.
One of the best Light Runic Attacks used by the Blades of Chaos in God of War: Ragnarok is the Helios Flare. This ability enables Kratos to create a small fireball between his blades and hurl it at one or more enemies. The impact blast from the Helios Flare will knock back weaker mobs and apply tier-two Burn to enemy targets. This Light Runic Attack is perfect for performing a ranged stun for weaker foes or applying DoT to stronger enemies from a safe distance. Such an ability would be handy for battling formidable opponents with punishing melee moves like the Frost Phantom.
To get the Helios Flare Light Runic Attack in God of War: Ragnarok, players will need to search for a Legendary Chest within The Abandoned Village of Vanaheim. For reference, this landmark is located north of the Eastern Barri Woods and slightly southeast of the Northern Wilds. Kratos and Atreus will pass through The Abandoned Village during the sixth main quest, “The Reckoning,” during which players must face challenging bosses, including Fiske and Nidhogg. The chest containing the Helios Flare can be found at a crane puzzle not too far from the location’s Runic Chest.
Finding the Helios Flare in God of War: Ragnarök
Based on gameplay footage by YouTube WoW Quests, an ideal place to start one’s journey to find the Helios Flare in God of War: Ragnarok would be at the Runic Treasure Chest on the western side of The Abandoned Village. Begin by traveling west by southwest through the dense forest until reaching a spot where Kratos much squeeze sideways past several connected wooden poles. The trail is moderately long, but players should eventually arrive at the crane puzzle.
For clarification, players can refer to the steps below to reach the Legendary Chest with the Helios Flare in God of War: Ragnarok:
- Step 1: Head into the small underground alcove guarded by a bulbous, exploding flower.
- Step 2: At the end of the small tunnel, look outside and use Kratos’s Blades of Chaos to pull down the archway outside.
- Step 3: Climb up the central platform and use the Leviathan Axe to turn the crane so that the grappling point is accessible.
- Step 4: Walk around to the opposite side of the elevated trail and use the axe to spin the crane again.
- Step 5: Grapple across the gap with the Blades of Chaos to the small ridge with the Legendary Chest.
- Step 6: Loot the chest to receive the Helios Flare in God of War: Ragnarok.
