God of War: Ragnarok - Midgard Collectibles

Midgar is one of the 9 realms and your first realms where you start the game. There is not much you can pick up during your first visit considering it servers as a tutorial for the game, so you will get the collectibles a bit later. On your second visit you will play as Atreus and you can only get 1 Legendary chest. When you return later only then it makes sense to start exploring.

Upper Wildwoods

• Nothing to collect

Lower Wildwoods

• Lore 1/2: Winter-Man (doesn't add to collectibles)
  Location: You will see it on your way on the right side of the wall before climbing the tall wall. Some enemies will attack you, so defeat them and inspect the blue letters. It's directly below the letter "w" in the "Lower" word when you look at the map.
• Lore 2/2: The Ashen God (doesn't add to collectibles)
  Location: After defeatin The Huntress you will have to climb a wall. When you reach the top go left, drop down a ledge and pick it up in front of you on the floor.

Shores of Nine

This is north part of Lake of Nine. Directly to the north of "Lake of Nine" letters on the map and the middle. On your first visit here you will be with Atreus, but I don't think that counts towards any trophy.

• Legendary Chest 1/1: Sonic Aftershock (Accessory) (doesn't add to collectibles)
  After the scenes with the god you want to meet with Atreus, climb the chains and look left (hard to miss)
• Artefact 1/1: Fert
  Left building structure, left of the main entrace to the area, climb the ledge and jump across.
• Yggdrasil Rift 1/2: Dust of Realms and other Resources
  Enter the main area, jump across the plank, go left first and follow the path all the way to the rift. This one is a bit tough, you will have to dodge a bit.
• Yggdrasil Rift 2/2: Dust of Realms and other Resources
  After the Rift #1 proceed further and burn some vines. Go up and find the rift and Mystic Gateway on the top. When going down you can shoot the Lizzard enemy from behind.
• Guiding Light 1/1: Waist Guard of Guiding Light (Waist Armour)
  Enter the main area, jump across the plank and go straight. Burn the vines, go under the structure and on the other side burn more vines to find the burried treasure which is actually the Guiding Light, nothing else. Read the lore on the wall, which is also part of the Guiding Light collectible and Favour, not the Lore entry itself.

Lake of Nine

This is the hugest open area in the upper right of Midgard. You will spend most of your visits here in this area.

You can find Lizzard enemy when you start ascending the northeast path, it's on the left as you start, you will need to use sonic arrows to destroy a wall behind the Lizzard, and then shoot from that hole.

There is a Visi Haglkorn mini-boss south from the frozen lightning on the map, but he doesn't give any good rewards.

Doing the story events you will battle Frozen Phantom in the Well of Urđ, and the reward is Jewel of Yggdrasil (Amulet Fragment), and Chaos Flame (Weapon Upgrades).
