This is how to destroy the yellow crystal barricades and break yellow cracks in rocks in GOW Ragnarok.
As Kratos, you will come across a lot of puzzles to solve and areas you need to access to get loot or progress further. Many times, chests will be hidden behind crystal blockades or rocks will glowing yellow cracks that you would want to destroy. If you are stuck in such a place right now, here’s how to break yellow cracks and crystals in God of War Ragnarok.
There’s a unique way to break both types of obstacles.
You may have already tried attacking the yellow cracks with your weapons but to no avail. The trick is to actually use the Draupnir spear which you get further ahead in the game. Specifically, you need to complete the quest named Forging Destiny.
Once you unlock it and find a yellow crack in the rocks, aim the equipped spear and throw it at the crack. Next, you will have to detonate it by pressing Triangle.
You may try to attack these crystal blockades with your Leviathan Axe or Blades or Chaos, but nothing will work. That’s because you need to explode them with the help of Explosive Pots. Find a pot with fire on top of it near the barricade and attack it with your weapon (throw your axe at it). Be sure to stay away from the area because you will unnecessarily take damage. Once the pot explodes, the blockade will clear up and you can go on ahead.

If there’s no pot available nearby, there’s a chance that there will be a fire bomb available. It will be kept on top of a grey pot in the area. Approach one, pick it up, and throw it at the yellow crystal blockade in GOW Ragnarok.
