First, they deduced the paths of both Brok and Sindri, figuring out where they must have traveled - and thus, finding the space between them. Reddit’s call for help led to players making some impressive discoveries. The brilliant blacksmiths Brok and Sindri travelled all around the lands of Midgard to create this great map for the giantess Faye a mysterious treasure was found at the space between them at the conclusion of their journey unfortunately for the brothers the treasure’s location was instantly forgotten Brok retraced his steps and blamed Sindri for losing the treasure Sindri retraced his own steps but clearly knew it was Brok’s fault they could not find it the treasure was never found and neither brother has spoken to the other either since An annotated version of the cloth map, included with the God of War collector’s edition. This is what the runic inscription on the left-hand side of the map says: Although the two are brothers, they are never seen together according to the cloth map, that’s because they had a huge falling out.

That’s how BRKsEDU kickstarted what became a longer quest in transcribing the rest of the runes dotting the edges of the cloth map. Kratos’ son Atreus does mention in the game that these runes can be translated they’re from the proto-Norse runic alphabet, Eldar Futhark, as other players have already found out.

YouTuber BRKsEDU suggested that the real-life cloth map included with their hard copy of the game wasn’t just decorative - it had text on it, written in runes that they had translated into English. Deciphering a set of directions found on the Stone Mason Edition’s cloth map led the community to find a reward they never would have been able to, had one player not caught on to the hints hidden in plain sight.Įarlier today, a Reddit user took to the God of War forum with a request.
