How to Open The Jungle Legendary Chest in God Of War Ragnarok

Unlocking The Jungle‘s Hidden Potential: A Complete Guide to its Legendary Chests

Adventuring through The Jungle realm in God of War Ragnarok is a rite of passage for any aspiring warrior. Lush and exotic, yet filled with poisonous threats around every corner, it perfectly encapsulates the duality of beauty and danger at the core of the Nine Realms. Most importantly, The Jungle hides two of the most incredible legendary chests in the entire game. Getting your hands on the precious loot they contain should be a top priority.

In this extensive guide, I‘ll be providing everything you need to know to traverse through The Jungle‘s treacherous landscape and successfully unlock its unparalleled legendary chest rewards.

The Lost Realm of the Vanir Gods

Before we delve into the legendary chests, it‘s important to understand The Jungle‘s deep lore and origins. This tropical land was once inhabited by the Vanir, a powerful tribe of gods devoted to peace, fertility and wisdom. Their mastery over magic and sorcery was renowned throughout the realms.

The Vanir lived in harmony with the native wildlife and their tranquil civilization flourished within The Jungle‘s boundaries. Unfortunately, their prosperity made them a target. When the war-like Aesir Gods sought to expand their empire, they invaded The Jungle and crushed the peaceful Vanir in battle.

Odin forced the few remaining Vanir to flee their ancestral home. Ever since, The Jungle has been overrun by jungle overgrowth and dangerous creatures. All that remains of the Vanir‘s glorious culture are the crumbling ruins and temples scattered throughout the realm.

However, their powerful magic still lingers. As you explore The Jungle in God of War Ragnarok, the mystery and lore surrounding this lost civilization creates a sense of intrigue and wonder. You can feel the history buried among the vines and vegetation. It lends a sense of importance to The Jungle beyond just the dangers that now lurk there. Uncovering its secrets is to walk in the footsteps of gods.

The Allure of Legendary Chests

Before we get into the specific locations, let‘s examine why tracking down The Jungle‘s legendary chests is so worthwhile. These special chests contain some of the most powerful and unique gear sets unavailable anywhere else. They offer a quick injection of strength to accelerate your progression.

The equipment found inside legendary chests has unique properties and special abilities that complement key builds and strategies. For example, equipping the Draupnir Spear runic attack from the first Jungle chest amplifies damage, knockback and crowd control. It can allow safely engaging large groups of enemies.

Similarly, the relic in the second chest extends your Enchantment slots. This enables stacking more runic effects to unleash devastating elemental damage. By combining gear from different legendary chests, you can create some insanely overpowered combos.

Let‘s compare some stats between the legendary chest gear and standard gear:

As you can see, the bonuses granted by these legendary items are substantial and provide a big edge. Finding them catapults you ahead in power.

Now let‘s dive into the detailed steps for locating each of these precious chests hidden within The Jungle‘s depths.

Claiming the Draupnir Spear‘s Runic Whisper

Our first stop is uncovering the chest containing the "Whisper of the World" light runic attack for the Draupnir Spear. Equipping this will allow devastating groups of enemies. Here is the full route:

1. Row across the lowered river after completing the "Return of the River" favor for the Vanir. This unlocks access to new Jungle areas.

2. From the shore with the Celestial Altar, head east through a crumbled stone archway into the cliffs. Look along the left cliffs for a cracked wall you can climb up.

3. Follow the linear path going right, jumping across gaps whenever prompted. Use the grapple point to swing across to a tree root on the opposite ledge.

4. Eventually you‘ll reach an open area with a large central structure covered in vines. Look right to see a raised platform you can climb up to.

5. At the end, you‘ll find yourself on a high ledge overlooking the area you just came from. This is where things get tricky. You need to create a chain of Hex Bubbles on the objects below and detonate them with Atreus‘s Surge arrows.

6. Fire a Sonic arrow at the bell to create the first Hex Bubble. Then shoot the two hanging pans in sequence to enlarge the bubbles, creating a chain reaction.

7. Fire a Surge arrow at the first Hex Bubble to set off the explosion chain and lift the giant rock. Immediately after, grapple to the vines at the tip of the newly raised rock column.

8. Swing from the vines to the right until you can leap off to a mossy platform. Look up the cliff from here to spot a final grapple point to reach the legendary chest!

The satisfying glow of that legendary chest is a sight for sore eyes after the challenging platforming required to reach it. Opening it up grants you the incredible "Whisper of the World" runic attack – one of the Draupnir Spear‘s most overpowered crowd control abilities.

This runic pulls in nearby enemies before launching them away with massive force. I‘ve had it one-shot groups ofbasic enemies at full health. It‘s extremely useful when you get surrounded or need breathing room. The high knockback allows picking off stragglers after the initial blast.

I like to pair it with high Luck and Runic builds to quickly obliterate mobs. Having two equipped Whisper runics means you can wipe the field twice in rapid succession. It makes the Draupnir Spear one of the best crowd control weapons in the game. Definitely don‘t miss out on this powerful piece of gear.

Harnessing the Secret Power of the Vanir

With the Draupnir Spear augmented, it‘s time to boost our Enchantment potential with the Vanir relic hidden in the second Jungle legendary chest. Let‘s tackle opening it next:

1. Fast travel to The Jungle and go to the Celestial Altar near the dock. Interact to shift time to daytime.

2. From the northeast wooden dock, locate a narrow crevice between boulders and squeeze through.

3. You‘ll emerge atop a waterfall. Use the Blades of Chaos to yank down the cracked wall ahead, creating a bridge across.

4. Follow the linear path beyond, crossing the chasm by grappling over once prompted. Continue until you must grapple across a second time.

5. After swinging over the second chasm, you‘ll see a stone wall with another crevice to squeeze through. This leads to a hidden Vanir pit.

6. Drop down the pit and you‘ll see a wooden spinner mechanism. Throw the Leviathan Axe at the left side to lift the gates.

7. Immediately recall the axe and strike the gear to freeze the gates in place before they shut.

8. Pass through the open gate to finally claim the second legendary chest!

Opening this chest unveils the Jewel of Yggdrasil, one of the most valuable relics in the entire game. Having this equipped increases the number of Enchantment slots on the Amulet of Yggdrasil by a whopping four slots.

This allows stacking way more Enchantments to create some truly broken Runic builds. The extra slots also provide room for utility Enchantments like healing or resistance.

Here‘s an example overpowered build you can create using the bonus slots:

• Surtr‘s Grip of Flame
• Ivaldi‘s Corrupted Mind
• Eye of the Fates
• Heart of the Warrior
• Horn of Blood Mead
• Jewel of Yggdrasil

This build combines high Luck, Runic and Strength with Fire/Burn damage bonuses. You‘ll be able to spam insanely strong Runics thanks to the CDR while also buffing Runic damage. The four Enchantments unlocked by the Jewel push this build‘s power to the absolute limit.

Finding the Jewel is a massive upgrade for your Enchantment flexibility. The Vanir definitely imbued it with their magic to create a legendary relic worthy of the gods.

Conclusion

I hope this extensive Jungle guide has provided heaps of useful tips and background to help unravel the mysteries of The Jungle‘s legendary chests. The journey to unearth these elite treasures pushed my skills to their limits, but the rewards proved well worth it.

Wielding the raw power of the Vanir relic and the Draupnir Spear‘s crowd-cleaving Runic made me feel like the giants of old. I can only imagine what heights of glory other adventurers might reach by utilizing the secrets contained within The Jungle‘s chests.

May your own quest to obtain these legendary weapons and relics bring triumphant victory against the enemies that lurk amongst the brush and ruins. Just try not to let the fame go to your head should people start calling you the God of War!
