God of War Ragnarok: How to fix the stuck in Yggdrasil bug

In God of War: Ragnarok, Yggdrasil, the "realm between realms," is a loading screen. Every time you utilize a Mystic Gateway to switch between realms, you must first travel to Yggdrasil and then circle around as your PlayStation loads the other domain. Once it has loaded, a fresh Mystic Gateway will show up, allowing you to enter the following world. Some gamers, however, cannot exit Yggdrasil because the Mystic Gateway they require never materializes. This can occur at any moment during the game, but for some reason, it tends to occur more frequently during the Old Friends goal.

What to do if you get stuck in Yggdrasil in God of War: Ragnarok

As with the majority of problems and glitches in God of War: Ragnarok, restarting from your last checkpoint is the first thing to attempt if you become trapped in Yggdrasil. For a few gamers, this has been sufficient to resolve the issue. If it doesn't work, try the Mystic Gateway once more after loading an autosave or manual save. Although many gamers have reported success after attempting it repeatedly, it might not work the first time you try it. Restarting your PlayStation or the game from scratch can also be helpful. Try it numerous times. Try shutting it down entirely before resuming it if restarting doesn't work after multiple tries.

In some cases, this can be more effective than simply restarting to solve problems. The best solution to fix the trapped in Yggdrasil bug is to delete God of War Ragnarok and then reinstall it from scratch if you're still having trouble or if it's late at night and almost time for bed. This keeps your saves, so you won't lose your progress, but downloading it from scratch will take a while, making it an excellent option for bedtime.
