In God of War Ragnarok, Favors, or side quests, offer players engaging content and valuable rewards. One such Favor is “Guiding Light,” found in Midgard’s Lake of Nine. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to trigger and complete the Guiding Light Favor, earning a complete armor set.
Triggering the Guiding Light Favor
To initiate the Guiding Light Favor in God of War Ragnarok, you need to interact with one of Tyr’s runes located around the Lake of Nine. There are four runes associated with Tyr’s broken statue: Tyr’s Left Bracer, Tyr’s Right Bracer, Tyr’s Helmet, and Tyr’s Spear.
Tyr’s Left Bracer
Begin by traveling to the Mystic Gateway beneath the Shores of Nine in the Lake of Nine. Head to the right of the gateway to find Tyr’s Left Bracer. Interact with the runes inscribed with “Defend the peace.” Near the runes, you’ll find a dig spot that rewards you with the Gauntlets of Guiding Light. Interacting with these runes will trigger the Guiding Light Favor if this is your first discovery.

Tyr’s Right Bracer
From Tyr’s Left Bracer, head northeast towards the Shores of Nine. Here’s how to get there:
- Locate a climbable wooden log.
- Lift the rock blocking the path to reach the shores.
- Enter through the bracer and proceed left.
- Burn the blue thorns and interact with the runes that read “Iron peace; not a golden war”.
Afterward, dig the nearby spot to obtain the Waist Guard of Guiding Light. The alt text for this image is “Close-up of Tyr’s Right Bracer location in the Shores of Nine, God of War Ragnarok, showing the entrance blocked by blue thorns.”
Tyr’s Helmet
To find Tyr’s Helmet, head to the area above the Raiders Stronghold. You’ll see a large golden helmet. Interact with it to read the “Win Minds; Not Wars” rune. Enter the helmet to dig up the Breastplate of Guiding Light. The alt text for this image is “Tyr’s Helmet towering over Kratos in God of War Ragnarok, located near the Raider’s Stronghold, with runes that read ‘Win Minds; Not Wars.'”
Tyr’s Spear
The final piece, Tyr’s Spear, is southeast of Tyr’s Helmet or east of the frozen lightning. The broken spear has the “Wish for peace; be ready for war” rune carved on it. Reading this rune completes the Guiding Light Favor. Don’t forget to dig up the pile of rocks nearby to receive 30 Whispering Slabs and Jotunheim’s Essence, an Amulet Enchantment that provides +4 Strength, +4 Vitality, and +6 Luck.

Rewards: The Guiding Light Armor Set
The Guiding Light Side Quest rewards players with a complete armor set. This armor offers a moderate chance of increasing Strength, Runic, and Luck upon hit. Equipping both the Gauntlets and Waist Guard grants melee attacks an 8% chance to critically strike, creating a damaging explosion.

The Guiding Light Favor is a rewarding quest that provides a valuable armor set with minimal effort, enhancing Kratos’s abilities in God of War Ragnarok.
