Keep Restarting Your Game

God of War Ragnarok - Restarting the Game
If you encounter this problem in the game, a method you can use to fix the bug is by restarting the game. It might also be worth restarting your console a few times until you get yourself out of Yggdrasil.

Reinstalling God of War Ragnarok

God of War Ragnarok - Deleting Game
If the previous method does not work, try reinstalling your game. This might take a while if you have a slow internet connection, so it's only recommended as a last resort.

Upload Your Save File in the Cloud or USB

God of War Ragnarok - Transferring Save Data Via Cloud Storage
Before you reinstall God of War Ragnarok to fix the bug, you should try to upload your save data to your cloud storage if you have a PS+ subscription or in a USB to avoid losing your save data progress.

Save Transfer

Sending a Bug Report Ticket

GOWR - Sending a Bug Report
Another way you can try to fix your issue is by directly contacting the developers about the bug. On their official website, you can send the details about your issue inside the "Submit a Bug" page.

You can also try your luck with contacting PlayStation Support and telling them about your issue to hopefully solve the problem.

Wait for Further Announcements

If any of the methods listed here does not work, you might have to wait for an announcement from Santa Monica Studio's official Twitter account if they're going to release a patch fix for the bug.

This means you'll probably have to wait for a while until the bug gets fixed in a future patch.

What is the Yggdrasil and Old Friends Bug?

A Bug That Disables The Portal to Other Realms

There are certain points in the game where players are unable to progress through the story due to a bug where the portal refuses to appear for them. This effectively locks them out for the rest of the game, as the portal is needed to exit Yggdrasil.
