Kratos doesn’t go anywhere without his Leviathan Axe or his Blades of Chaos. But thanks to Sindri and Brok, he now has a new addition to his arsenal inGod of War Ragnarok. The Draupnir Spear is a formidable weapon capable of quick jabs and slick combos that will keep enemies stunned.

Once you acquire the Draupnir Spear, it’s time to seek out an attachment or two that will do you some good. There are 12 attachments in total available for the spear. Some require a little searching while others are obtained through completing storyline objectives.
Soldier’s Sauroter
TheSoldier’s Sauroteris the default attachment. TheDraupnir Spearalready comes equipped with this bad boy. So once you walk away with this weapon in hand, the Soldier’s Sauroter will be active.
Like the default attachments on other weapons, this one focuses on boostingdefensestats. Since the weapon is obtained mid-way through the game, the attachment begins with level four. Bringing it to level seven will provide stat boosts forrunic,vitality,cooldown, andluckalongside defense.
Hind Of Attuned Elements
The Hind of Attuned Elements can seemingly be found inside a rift. Specifically, it is a reward for capturing a Nidhogg baby and closing a Yggdrasil Rift. There are a total of six rifts. There is one, in particular, that will offer you the attachment. Note the location on the map below of The Crater.
Approach the rift in this area and interact with it to claim the Nidhogg infant as well as this attachment.
The attachment can seemingly also be claimed by the Yggdrasil Rift found inSvartalfheimduring theForging Destinymainline quest. The Hind of Attuned Elements grants boosts fordefenseandrunicstats. It’s also a formidable weapon against fire and frost enemies as it deals extra damage thanks to theExtinguish and Vaporizeperks.
Charging Assault Sauroter
You can earn theCharging Assault Sauroteravailability by merely playing through the story. Once you’ve completed the tenth mainline quest in the game,Forging Destiny,you cancraft the attachment at the Dwarven shops.
It offers a significant boost indefensestats and minor boosts towardvitalityandluck. TheFearless Sprinterperk enables bonuses when usingHoplite LungeandPhalanx Breakerthat include more stun damage and a chance at activatingUnstoppable Aura- a brief status that makes Kratos impervious to interruptions in his assault by attacks from other enemies.
Mighty Olympic Sauroter
Forging Destiny is, apparently, a pivotal in-game storyline - especially as far as spear accouterments are concerned. Following this mainline story quest, you’re able to also craft theMighty Olympic Sauroterat available Dwarven shops.
This attachment begins with level five and focuses on offeringdefense, cooldown, and luck boosts. When upgraded, theDetonator’s Mightperk becomes active. With this perk, detonating thrown spears grants you a chance of increasedstrengthandstagger resistance.
Lion’s Roar Sauroter
TheLion’s Roar Saurotercan be found in a legendary chest at theLake of NineinMidgard. You’ll need to travel to Hoddmimis Holt on your map. See the indicator for Kratos' location on the map below.
To the left of the realm tower (when facing it), you’ll see an ice formation with a cracked surface indicating that you can throw your spear there and detonate it. Prepare for a fight with a phantom once you destroy the ice.
If you’ve fought phantoms before, it’s the same exact concept here. You have hit the phantom directly tostun it. Then when it’s stunned you need to attack theglowing pillars. There are four in this case. Three of them are pretty obvious if you just look around where you are standing. The fourth is precariously perched behind a snowy rock jutting out of the ground and isn’t as obvious.
Once you’ve destroyed all four pillars, finish off the phantom and claim the legendary treasure that was behind the ice formation you destroyed. Inside will be theLion’s Roar Sauroter.
This attachment provides a heavy boost todefense. Its perk,Stunning Blast, also increases the stun damage associated with theGale Forceskill.
Hind Of The Four Winds
Remember theApplecorewhere you first located Tyr during the mainline story,The Quest for Tyr? Well, for this attachment, you have to travel back to the Applecore to the troll namedMiklimunnrwho now resides in the prison where Tyr was located. Defeating him will grant you theHind of the Four Winds.
The trick here is that you can’t return the same way you came during The Quest for Tyr due to events that occurred during the mission that removed the pathway forward. You will need to travel to theAurvangar Wetlands Mystic GatewayinSvartalfheim. From there, head left toward the water where you will find a raft that is operated by a rope. Use this to cross the water.
Once you reach the other side, battle the enemies that you encounter and follow the pathway until you find an elevator. Take the elevator to an underground path. Upon reaching the bottom, head forward down a winding path. Ignore any ledges or small paths that branch out and keep to the main path until you encounter a wall with a spot for aDraupnir spear. Toss one in there and scale the wall.
After you reach the top, follow the path, and you’ll find a rock on the left that you can destroy with a detonated spear. Clear that blockage.
Follow the curving path and swing across the gap that you encounter. Once you climb up the new ledge, press onward until you reach a chain that you can kick down into the room where Tyr’s prison once was. Slide down the chain to do battle with the fire trollMiklimunnr.
The fight isn’t really any different from battling other trolls. Use the same tactics. Dodge his heavy melee attacks and watch out for projecting flames. Move up behind him to get in an effective combo before dodging to a safe distance. Once you finish him off, theHind of the Four Windswill be yours.
This attachmentboosts strength and defense. It also offers the perkSlicing Finishwhich adds a concussive wave at the end of a Spear (R2) combo.
Warrior’s Echo Sauroter
Muspelheimis a pivotal moment in the game’s main storyline. Arriving here also grants you the chance to craft multiple attachments across all the weapons in Kratos' arsenal. TheWarrior’s Ech Sauroteris the attachment for the spear that becomes available at this point.
This attachment bolsters Kratos’strength, defense, and runicstats. TheSonic Piercerperk injects bonus damage and aMaelstrom skillcharging effect when attacking sonic-afflicted enemies.
Battle-Scarred Sauroter
This attachment is available after completing the 13th mainline quest, Creatures of Prophecy. As always, visit Brok and Sindri’s shop to craft theBattle-Scarred Sauroter.
This attachment boosts defense and vitality increasingly with each upgrade. Also, after the initial upgrade it comes with the Seized Rage Burst perk. This grants you a Rage Burst whenever you stun grab an enemy (R3).
Hind Of Weightless Recovery
This is yet another attachment that you can craft following your completion of the Creatures of Prophecy quest. Just visit the Dwarven shop to craft theHind of Weightless Recoveryat this stage.
This attachment boostsdefense and luck. TheMaelstrom Refreshperk that comes alongside it grants a chance of boosting cooldown with successful spear attacks while the Maelstrom skill gauge is full.
Hind of Deadly Vitality
Once the wide-open world that is The Crater opens up to you in the main storyline, you can begin hunting for this attachment. Specifically, you must kill the threeOath Gaurdmini-bosses inVanaheim:Jorgen, Vali, and Egil.
You can find the location of each of these Oath Guards below at Kratos' icon. Upon killing the third oath guard (order doesn’t matter), he will drop multiple items including theHind of Deadly Vitality.
TheHind of Deadly Vitalitybolsters yourdefense, cooldown, and luck stats. It also offers a Slayer’s Health Burst perk which grants a chance for a health burst upon successful spear kills.
Hind Of Volatile Might
TheHind of Volatile Mightis just one of many gifts thewishing wellinVanaheimoffers you in exchange forCrystalline Fragments. The well is located inThe Craterarea of Vanaheim at the position indicated on the map below.
As you travel around The Crater and the Jungle adjacent to it, you’ll encounter orange crystals which you can smash in order to claim shards to toss into the well. You’ll receive various types of gear from these exchanges including the Hind of Volatile Might.
Hind Of The Nine Realms
You’re going to have to work for this attachment. TheHind of the Nine Realmsis a reward for defeating the optionalberserker gravestonebosses,Bodvar the Fierce and Starolfr the Troublesome. You can find this gravestone in theApplecoreinSvartalfheimat the location marked on the map below.
This is easily one of the most challenging berserker fights you’ll endure in the game. The key with this fight is parrying and defensive play, as neither of these big boys deploys any sort of attacks that deal status effects. They’re simply quick, heavy hitters.
Thankfully, one will be occupied with your companion, so focus on the berserker that is focused on you. Just keep in mind, they will tag-team it and switch out with one another throughout the fight. So, stay frosty. Below are some handy items that play well with the defensive strategy you’ll need in this fight.
Once you defeat them, you’ll receive theHind of the Nine Realms as a reward. This offers runic, vitality, and cooldown boosts. Additionally, theMomentous Shiftperk enables you to trigger a Realm Shift when using Violent Maelstrom (L1 + Triangle) while your maelstrom gauge is full.
