The Pure of Heart trophy in God of War Ragnarok tasks you with locating a number of Stags across the game as part of the Stag for All Seasons quest. Here's how to find them all.
Stag locations
Stag of Winter
The Stag of Winter is most likely the first of the four stags you'll find. That is because the stag is in the same area where you finish the Scent of Survival Favour that brings you to The Crater area in the first place.
After you defeat the dragon boss, the Stag of Winter can be found on the far right - in The Overgrown Tower section, Mystic Gateway.
Stag of Summer
The Stag of Summer location can be found nearest to the Jungle Entrance Mystic Gateway. However, there are a few extra steps for those who have never been to this part of the area before.
Firstly, the larger area where the stag is found can only be accessed during the night, so you will need to find a Celestial Altar if otherwise.
Next, the exact spot where the stag is plotted is separated by a massive dried-up river. It is inaccessible until you complete the Return of the River Favour. Luckily, this can be completed quickly from the left of where you've entered the area.
After you've completed the Favour and re-filled the river, you'll need to reach the nearby Celestial Altar and switch the time of day back to daytime.
Around the back of the island where two trolls are trying to throw rocks at the stag, row your boat until you find the now-available Boat Dock. Defeat the trolls, use the Blades of Chaos to get into the small tunnel, and The Stag of Summer will be found at the very end.
Stag of Fall
Another easy one to find. The Stag of Fall can easily be found right next to the Sinkholes Entrance Mystic Gateway.
Stag of Spring
The Stag of Spring is best to retrieve last since it cannot be reached until conditions around the Stag of Summer have been resolved. Similarly, this stag is nearest to the Jungle Entrance Mystic Gateway, this time in the Wishing Well.
Shortly ahead of the Mystic Gateway, you'll find a closed metal gate that couldn't be opened because of the aforementioned trolls throwing rocks at you. Open it, and you'll quickly find your way into the Wishing Well.
The Stag of Spring can be found and retrieved almost instantly, and you'll also unlock the Pure of Hart trophy if you have followed this guide for it to be your final stag.
Stag rewards
To finish the Stag for All Seasons quest, go back to Sindri's House and talk to Ratatoskr.
Rewards you'll get for completing the Favour are:
- Rond of Disruption shield attachment
- 5 units of Whispering Slab
- 4500XP for Kratos
- 1125XP for Atreus.
