This collection includes every marker from the Legendary Chests category of points of interest in God of War Ragnarök, all placed on interactive maps created specifically for the game.
In God of War Ragnarök you can find 60+ Legendary Chests, 53 of which must be found to complete all realms at 100%. None of these 53 chests can be missed. They are large gold chests and always contain some sort of reward.
