If you’ve been grinding through ODIN Valhalla Rising and feel like you’ve seen everything, think again. Scattered across Midgard, Jotunheim, and Alfheim are hidden quests that offer surprising rewards—some of which can significantly boost your progression, gear, and even wallet (yes, we’re talking about ODIN Diamonds). These quests often require exploration, puzzle-solving, or completing seemingly unrelated side objectives. Below are 10 hidden quests every player should uncover at least once.

1. The Broken Statue in Midgard

Near the ruins southeast of the Bifrost Gate, a crumbled statue triggers a chain quest if you interact with it three times. Completing this storyline grants a rare mount skin and a small stash of ODIN Diamonds. It’s easily missable for players who rush through the area.

2. Echoes of the Fallen

Inside the Whispering Forest, defeat a specific wandering ghost three nights in a row (game time) and you’ll receive a unique dialogue prompt from an NPC in the nearby village. Follow it through to unlock a chest that contains crafting resources—and a scroll that can be sold for a high price or traded for ODIN Diamonds.

3. The Forgotten Duelist

In Alfheim, a lone swordsman stands in the shadows of a broken bridge. Speak to him with a specific item in your inventory (hint: a rusted sword from a nearby dungeon), and he’ll offer a duel. Winning this battle triggers a mini-questline with a weapon enchantment as a reward.

4. Ritual of the Frozen Cave

Found in the southern ice caverns of Jotunheim, this quest only triggers at server midnight. After collecting three hidden crystals from random mob drops, placing them on the altar reveals a boss. Defeating it drops materials used in high-tier armor crafting and gives a random chance to earn ODIN Diamonds.

5. The Merchant’s Regret

In Vanaheim, a wandering trader gives vague clues about a stolen item. If you piece together the clues and retrieve the item, he’ll not only reward you with gold but also offer an unlisted trade involving rare potions and a bundle that includes ODIN Diamonds.

6. Song of the Spirits

In a secluded corner of Alfheim, a flute rests on an altar. Playing it in the correct sequence—hinted at by nearby inscriptions—reveals a hidden pathway leading to a unique accessory and permanent stat boost. It’s one of the few quests that affects your character long-term.

7. Wounded Beast Rescue

Deep in the Forest of Thorns lies a trapped beast. Freeing it begins a loyalty quest chain where the creature appears to aid you in combat in select boss fights. Complete all tasks in the chain, and you’ll gain a temporary companion and a pack of upgrade materials.

8. The Blacksmith’s Last Request

Located in the outskirts of Midgard’s capital, an old blacksmith asks for help finding his family heirloom. The heirloom is located in a high-level dungeon, and returning it grants a choice between a unique weapon or a gem pouch—inside which may be ODIN Diamonds.

9. Trial of the Ancients

Accessible only to characters over level 60, this hidden challenge requires you to survive three waves of elite monsters without potions. The reward? A choice of one legendary upgrade material, and sometimes, a small amount of ODIN Diamonds. It's difficult, but absolutely worth the risk.

10. The Collector's Curiosity

A reclusive NPC in the Northern Fjords asks for 10 obscure relics from different regions. This long-term quest is tedious but pays off: completing it opens up a shop where you can buy ODIN Diamonds using collected items and other rare currencies.

ODIN Valhalla Rising hides a lot more beneath its surface than daily quests and mainline story missions. Exploring off the beaten path, talking to strange NPCs, and revisiting places at odd hours can yield some of the game’s most rewarding content. And if you’re looking to stockpile ODIN Diamonds without spending too much, hidden quests are one of the most underrated ways to get started.
