Despite the effects of Fimbulwinter, flowers still bloom across the nine realms. Freya spoke too much about these flowers and her desire to collect them while Atreus was away. I do remember Freya had an affinity for a white-petaled flower whose name I cannot recall.
Mirkweed is a flower native to Midgard, and you can collect it for the Favor Nine Realms in Bloom, for Freya. Its petals are a vibrant purple and red, with healthy green leaves. If you find it for Freya she will take it for her collection. Nine Realms in Bloom is one of the lengthier Side Quest Favors in God of War: Ragnarok, which tasks you with finding one flower from each of the Nine Realms. This is lengthier than it sounds, as roughly half of the flowers can only be found after you've completed the story.
Appearance[]
The plant has a central stem with several branches extending outward. The branches are covered with a variety of green leaves, and numerous small, clustered purple and red-orange petals with possible berries/beads are visible throughout the plant's canopy. The branches and leaves exhibit a slightly textured appearance. Mirkweed also resembles a similar appearance to shrubs.
Mirkweed - Midgard - Location[]
Prerequisite: Talk to Ratatoskr after completing The Path quests
Location: Midgard - Sanctuary Grove
The Mirkweed flower is found at Sanctuary Grove, Freya's old home from the 2018 game, however it isn't available to freely explore until you've completed The Path quests. Further, you must also unlock travel to Sanctuary Grove in Midgard: you can do this by talking to Ratatoskr at Sindri's House. When you've done these tasks, head for a Mystic Gateway and unlock the gateway at Sanctuary Grove. Head down to Chaurli the giant turtle, and you'll find the flower to the East of him (or his right, if you prefer) at the end of the path.
Trivia[]
Mirkweed looks similar to Purple Daphne sojakii (also known as Daphne vermionica).
