Divine Arts are powerful spells and abilities that Valkyrie has in her arsenal that can significantly affect the flow of battle. These spells include standard damaging elemental attacks, crowd-control abilities, and self-healing. Using Divine Arts in conjunction with weapon combos can do wonders in battle, giving Valkyrie full control of the engagement. In our Divine Arts List and Locations, we will discuss the basics of this game feature, as well as the location of the various Divine Arts that we can acquire in the game.
Valkyrie Elysium is the latest title of the renowned Valkyrie series. Play as the Valkyrie as she purifies the land from evil in a collapsing world as Ragnarok looms. Summon the souls of chosen warriors called Einherjars to assist you in combat and unleash the power of Divine Arts to smite your foes.

Divine Arts are the game’s equivalent of spells. Valkyrie can equip up to four divine arts at once, each assigned to a DPAD button and activated by pressing R2 + Triangle/Circle/Squre/X. You can freely change your divine art button assignments by opening the main menu, even when you’re in the middle of battle so use this convenience to adjust your strategy accordingly.
Under the blue Soul Gauge, you’ll find the Divine Arts gauge, represented by several diamonds. Activating Divine Arts will use up 1-3 divine arts “diamonds”, depending on their tier. For example, Fire Lance I will use one diamond while Fire Lance III will use three diamonds. Of course, the higher the tier, the more powerful the divine art will be at the cost of more DA diamonds. To restore this gauge, you have to build combos or use recovery items. You can also increase the maximum Divine Art gauge by unlocking the specific attack gauge or consuming a rare consumable called Arts Ambrosia.
New Divine Arts can be obtained from chests from the main story levels and as reward for completing Subquests so if you want to collect all of them, you have to make sure to carefully search for valuable chests (blue decorated chests) and clear specific subquests.
There are a total of 41 divine arts in the game, with their iterations/tiers counted individually. We will list them down as they appear in the in-game inventory list.
