God of War 2018 has tons of side quests to keep the players engaged and provide a slight distraction from the main storyline. Most of these side quests are “favors” asked by the restless spirits who died on the shores of Midgard. All spirits will reward you with some unique items in exchange for completing these favors! — or should I say most of them would.
Anatomy of Hope is one of these favors where a lake spirit asks Kratos and Atreus to collect three of his beloved Gullveig’s bones scattered across the Lake of Nine and bring them back to him.
The three bones of Gullveig are located at the Alfheim Tower Beach, Forgotten Caverns, and Ruins of the Ancient beach around the Lake of the Nine in God of War 2018.
1. Accessing the “Anatomy of Hope” Favor in God of War
Players can access the Anatomy of Hope side quest once they have completed the main storyline quest, “A New Destination”, and lowered the water level of the Lake of Nine for the second time.
This event will open up a new map section called The Mason’s Channel. Mimir will direct you to paddle past the oarsmen statues into the Mason’s Channel.
Entering the channel will lead you to a small beach with a restless lake spirit on it. He is hard to miss as he keeps rambling for all the time you are on that beach.
Interact with him, and he will ask you to collect the bones of her beloved so he can resurrect her. The spirit further promises that Gullveig will create a bridge between life and death and let Kratos and Atreus see Faye for a short time.
2. Gullveig’s Bone Location #1 - Alfheim Tower Beach
Gullveig’s first bone is located on top of a rock on Alfheim Tower beach just east of the Oarsmen statues that connect the lake of Nine with the Mason’s Channel.
Paddle back to the Lake of Nine from Mason’s channel through the oarsmen statues gate and dock your boat onto the beach immediately to your left. On this beach, climb up the rock marked by the white symbol and collect Gullveig’s first bone on the left side on top of the rock.
3. Gullveig’s Bone Location #2 - Forgotten Caverns
Gullveig’s second bone is located inside the Forgotten Caverns on a beach far west of the Alfheim Tower beach in Lake of Nine.
Head straight into the dark cave and defeat the Wulvers waiting for you inside. Now, climb the wall with the white symbols on the right.
Once you reach the top, start walking right until you reach the end, then jump across to the ledge on the other side.
Climb up, turn right, and keep walking straight. You will find Gullveig’s second bone lying on the ground at the end of this ledge.
4. Gullveig’s Bone Location #3 - Ruins of the Ancient
Gullveig’s third bone is located on the Ruins of the Ancient beach just north of the Forgotten Caverns in Lake of Nine.
Paddle your boat north from the Forgotten Caverns until you find a small beach named Ruins of the Ancient. Here you will find an optional boss called Soul Devourer wandering the land. He is not hostile and will not attack you until you attack him first.
Make your way into the beach through the stone gates and immediately circle to the left to find the third and last bone of Gullveig lying on the ground.
5. Returning Gullveig’s Bones and Completing the “Anatomy of Hope” Favor
Head back to the beach in Mason’s Channel and interact with the lake spirit to return the bones. The spirit will then go on to resurrect Gullveig, who is, unfortunately, a Revenant. Surprise! the wretched spirit lied, and now Gullveig wants to kill you.
Build up your spartan rage and use it to take her down quickly. After defeating her, pick up some XP, hacksilver, and an Offering to Tyr resource as your reward for being too gullible. “Take it as a lesson, boy!”
