Every God of War Easter egg in Horizon Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West players certainly have a lot to discover in this large open-world game. The sequel takes place around six months after the original game, and Aloy still has work to do.

But in this deeply fantastical world lies many secrets, some of which extend far outside the game's universe into that of the game God of War.

Finding the War Totems

Of course, the War Totems are a perfect fit for players looking for an Easter egg that can pay homage to the God of War series. Players must find three on the following list:

• Totem of War (Kratos easter egg)
• Totem of Youth (Atreus easter egg)
• Totems of Brotherhood (Brok and Sindri easter egg)
• Once players discover all three totems, they can unlock a cosmetic item, the Mark of War Legendary Face Paint, a replica of Krato's face paint that players can have Aloy equip.
