In this article, we’ll break down every variety of plant you’ll encounter and the methods required to eliminate them in the realm of Vanaheim in God of War Ragnarok.

How to Eliminate the Spitting Plants in God of War Ragnarok

Spitting plants are the most straightforward foes in God of War Ragnarok. When these plants open up, they prepare to spit poison; however, they have poor accuracy, making them easy to dodge. Just be wary of the noxious area their spit creates on the ground. You can dispatch them with a single precise throw of your Leviathan Axe.

How to Eliminate the Poison Mist Plants in God of War Ragnarok

Poison mist plants produce expansive areas of hazardous fog. While you can’t destroy these plants, you can disable their poison generation by using an elemental throw with your Leviathan Axe. Just ensure you’re out of the mist’s range when you retrieve your axe.

At one point, you’ll encounter two poison mist plants. The strategy here is to freeze the first one, then hit it with a Sigil Arrow. When you recall your axe, the first plant should remain frozen, allowing you to freeze the second one. Move past them quickly before your Sigil effect dissipates.

How to Destroy the “Mother Plant” in God of War Ragnarok

After the sudden daybreak in Vanaheim, you will encounter your first “mother” plant. These large plants have extensive vines that facilitate aggressive flowers to shoot rapid poison darts.

Rather than attempting to harm the flowers directly, you need to destroy the “mother” plant to eliminate all its flowers simultaneously. Trace the vines to locate the substantial bulbous plant and launch an elemental attack using your Blades of Chaos.

How to Handle the Blue Poison Cluster Plants in God of War Ragnarok

During your adventure in the Western Barri Woods towards the end of The Reckoning, you will confront waves of Einherjar while facing two blue flowers on a ledge which will bombard you with poison. It’s futile to attempt to kill these plants.

No combination of Sigil or elemental attacks will damage them in God of War Ragnarok. Instead, steer clear of these plants and concentrate your efforts on battling the Einherjar.

This concludes our guide on how to vanquish the hostile plants found in the Vanaheim region of God of War Ragnarok.
