Legendary Chests are one of many collectibles that you can find in God of War: Ragnarok. They contain valuable loot like crafting materials, weapon attachments, amulet attachments, and runic attacks.
There are a total of 53 Legendary Chests scattered all across the realms in the game. Some of them will be right in the open but others will require you to either complete little puzzles or find your way around.
Take note that finding all Legendary Chests is necessary for a 100 percent completion run. However, you will not be able to find all of them on your first visit.
You will need to complete certain quests and favors like Forging Destiny, The Reckoning, the Song of the Sands, and the Secret of the Sands, among others, to open the way forward.
Something else to know is that some realms have untracked Legendary Chests, meaning that they are not required for a 100 percent completion run.
Niflheim and Midgard, for example, have one untracked chest each. Helheim, Jotunheim, Asgard, and Muspelheim only have untracked chests.
The following guide will tell you where to find all of the Legendary Chests in all of the realms in God of War: Ragnarok.
