If you're looking to level up quickly in ODIN Valhalla Rising, hidden quests can be your best friend. While the main storyline and daily missions offer solid experience points, some lesser-known side quests provide massive EXP boosts—if you know where to find them. Here are five hidden quests that can help you power-level efficiently.

1. The Forgotten Warrior’s Trial

Location: Frostpeak Mountains (Northwest of the starting zone)

Tucked away in a remote cave, this quest chain begins by interacting with a rusted sword lodged in a stone. Completing the three-part trial rewards you with a hefty EXP bonus, along with some rare crafting materials. The final boss fight is challenging, but the payoff is worth it—especially if you’re saving up odin diamonds for high-tier gear later.

2. Spirit of the Fallen

Location: Whispering Woods (Near the Ancient Ruins waypoint)

Many players miss this quest because it only triggers at night. Look for a glowing blue spirit near the ruins and follow its path to uncover a tragic backstory. The quest involves solving a simple puzzle and defeating spectral enemies, but the EXP reward is surprisingly generous. If you’re farming ODIN Valhalla Rising Diamonds, this quest also drops a small amount as a bonus.

3. The Blacksmith’s Secret Request

Location: Hrimsdalr Village (Talk to the NPC Bjorn near the forge)

Bjorn doesn’t have a quest marker, but if you bring him 10 Iron Ore and 5 Enchanted Crystals, he’ll unlock a hidden quest that sends you to retrieve a lost hammer from a bandit camp. The EXP reward is massive, and the hammer can even be kept as a weapon upgrade. A great way to gain levels while also stocking up on resources.

4. The Cursed Fisherman

Location: Lake of Echoes (Southern shore)

This eerie quest starts when you examine an abandoned fishing rod by the lake. A ghostly fisherman will appear and ask for help lifting his curse. The quest involves collecting rare fish and defeating a water wraith, but the EXP payout is one of the highest among hidden quests. Plus, you might get a few extra odin diamonds from the wraith’s loot.

5. The Lost Valkyrie’s Plea

Location: Stormveil Pass (Climb the highest peak)

One of the most well-hidden quests in the game, this one requires reaching a secluded cliff where a wounded Valkyrie asks for aid. The multi-stage quest includes escort missions and a dungeon crawl, but the final EXP reward is enough to boost you at least one full level. It’s also a great source of Valkyrie Tokens, which can be exchanged for premium items.

Final Tips

• Always explore off the beaten path—many hidden quests don’t appear on the map.

• Some quests only trigger under specific conditions (time of day, weather, or item requirements).

• If you’re grinding for ODIN Valhalla Rising Diamonds, these quests often provide small amounts as additional rewards.
