The most valuable Item in God of War Ragnarok is none other than Artifact. Whenever Kratos comes near the Artifacts, they start glowing purple. You can also sell these Artifacts for some Hacksilver. Artifacts are divided into two types: Ones that are found only in a single Realm, and others that are divided across Realms, which are Kvasir’s Poems.
