InSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, there are a couple of collectibles to look out for. One of which is the lorestangir - tall posts surrounded by glowing symbols that stand out from the environment, but can be tough to find. Senua’s Sage: Hellblade 2 has 18 of these guys scattered throughout the game. When you find them, you have to focus on them to get their symbols to glow on the posts (marking how many you’ve collected, or tragically missed).
Collecting all the Lorestangir in Hellblade 2 will unlock new features in the Extra section of the main menu. Without spoiling too much, these include new narration options for new game plus! It’s well worth your time to get these.
This collectible comes alongside the hidden face collectibles. Check out our guide below for details on hidden faces and how to find them!
