Amulet Of Kvasir talisman

The Amulet Of Kvasir talisman can be found very early in the game and is useful throughout the game. Once you are able to explore Alfheim, you can get this talisman. It works like a standard Platinum dodge - when Kratos dodges an attack, you will slow down time and perform strong counter-attacks. In Alfheim, you will eventually reach an area called the Light Elf Sanctuary. Find the Realm Tear past the crank gate, and proceed past the bridge made of roots. At this vantage point, you can see the beach where you first started the area. From here, throw your axe to break the root nodes, making a tunnel appear. Drop down to reach a room with a wheel crank. Use it to solve the root puzzle (break all three with a single throw) to make the legendary chest appear with the Amulet Of Kvasir talisman inside.

Easy Mist Echoes

First, unlock the Niflheim realm by collecting four Niflheim Language Ciphers in purple chests. In the Niflheim realm, complete Sindri's quest to unlock the Workshop's center chamber. In the center chamber are realm tears and chests that cost Mist Echoes to open -- a currency unique to this region. Mist Echoes are obtained from the Mist Labyrinth. You need 68,500 to open everything in the center chamber. There are a total of five treasures chests and three realm tears in the center chamber. You get the "Darkness And Fog" trophy for unlocking all treasure chests and realm tears in the Workshop's center chamber. Even though it seems like it will take a long time to obtain 68,500 Mist Echoes, it really does not if you use the following strategy. It only takes four full runs of the labyrinth (around 60 minutes total) to get 70,000 echoes. The general rule to follow is the more chests you open per run, the more the next chest will give. At first it might only be 200 or so per chest, but later it will be 1,500+ per chest if you clear the entire labyrinth in one run. So the key to farming is really just to stay alive, collect all materials dropped by enemies, and open all chests along the way. Use the following strategy to get 15,000 - 20,000 Mist Echoes per run. You get around 9,000 from opening chests and around 5,000-8,000 from selling materials that the enemies dropped.

At the start of the labyrinth is always a Nornir chest. Remember the three symbols on it; if they are weird letters, exit the mist and re-enter to get a new combination that is easier to remember. As you make your way through the labyrinth, there are three signposts up high in the corner sections on either edge of the labyrinth. Those have the rune symbols of the Nornir chest. You must throw the axe to spin the signposts until they show one of the three symbols. The signposts are always in the same corner quadrants. At the end, if you put all three Nornir runes in the correct position, you can open the chest at the start of the labyrinth.

Open all chests in the labyrinth, and go to every possible section.

There is always a second Nornir chest randomly located somewhere in the labyrinth. When you stand straight in front of it, you can always see the three rune symbols you need to hit with the axe (they are always visible from the section where the Nornir chest is located).

Enemies can be killed quickly with runic attacks. Use anything that inflicts a lot of damage and some area of effect attacks (Sindri's armor set is recommended since it greatly reduces cooldown times).

Obviously, make it out of the labyrinth alive before time runs out. If you die, you lose everything from that run.

Once you are out of the labyrinth, sell the materials the enemies dropped to Sindri (Shop - Sell - Resources). Usually for each run of the labyrinth, you will find 1-2 materials that give 2,500 echoes each, and 2-4 that give 1,000 echoes each.

Forbidden Grip of the Ages

There is a secret pommel in the game which now can be found after good guys deciphered runes on the map from the limited edition of God of War. In order to find the handle you need to get access to the Muspelheim Tower (the south one on the lake) and to position Kratos in the middle of the floor circle.

Now you need to position the camera straight and to do the following:

Look at the Tyr's Temple > left brazier > Temple > right brazier > left brazier.

If done right you will hear a gong sound. But you need to continue with the following:

Look at the Temple > down > right brazier > left brazier > Temple.

After that you will hear the second gong and you will see a realm tear in front of you where you can pick the pommel.

It is not the very best one in the game but it boosts all of your stats and can be pretty handy for some time. You will also get a purple wave attack at the end of R1 combo.

Fully upgrade Blades Of Chaos

To fully upgrade the Blades Of Chaos, you need Chaos Flames, which is a type of crafting component. Level 5 is the maximum for the blades. After retrieving the Blades Of Chaos, you will keep getting Chaos Flames from story bosses. Even if you fail to collect them, they will be added to the "Lost Items" section in the shop. By completing the story, you can get the blades to Level 4. Getting them to Level 5 is hidden in the shop under "Buy" - "Resources". You can exchange the Raging Inferno Of Muspelheim for the final Chaos Flame. The Raging Inferno Of Muspelheim is dropped by the only Valkyrie in the Muspelheim realm. To reach her, defeat all the trials leading up the mountain in the Muspelheim realm. There are five trials, and you must play each one twice to unlock the gate to the next trial. The Valkyrie is the end boss in the Muspelheim realm. After looting the Raging Inferno from her, return to a shop and exchange it for the Chaos Flame. You can then purchase the final upgrade for the Blades Of Chaos and get the "Why Fight It?" trophy.

Fully upgrade Leviathan Axe

To fully upgrade the Leviathan Axe, you need Frozen Flames, which is a type of crafting component. Level 6 is the maximum for the axe. The first upgrade is given automatically when you meet Brok for the first time. You will then keep getting Frozen Flames from story bosses. Even if you fail to collect them, they will be added to the "Lost Items" section in the shop. By completing the story, you can get the axe to Level 5. Getting it to Level 6 is hidden in the shop under "Buy" - "Resources". You can exchange the Chilling Mist Of Niflheim for the final Frozen Flame. The Chilling Mist Of Niflheim is found in a chest in the central chamber of the Niflheim realm, which costs 5,000 Mist Echoes to open. You must do Sindri's first favor in Nifleheim to gain access to the central chamber. Then, keep going around the "labyrinth" in this region to farm Mist Echoes until you have 5,000. Once you have enough Mist Echoes, open the chest to get the Chilling Mist Of Niflheim. Return to a shop and exchange the Chilling Mist Of Niflheim for the Frozen Flame. You can then purchase the final upgrade for the Leviathan Axe and get the "Worthy" trophy.

Golden Talisman Of Protection

The Golden Talisman Of Protection is a powerful talisman that can be found early in the game and is useful throughout the entire game. It is also easy to miss. You can get it as soon as you arrive in the Lake Of The Nine. It improves recovery time, increases defense when blocking, and slightly lengthens your parry window. To find the Golden Talisman Of Protection, go to Stone Falls. The location is northeast of the temple, available once you unlock the temple in the center of the Lake Of The Nine. You will stop at Stone Falls to access Veithurgard in the story, but you can visit this hidden area whenever desired. In Stone Falls, solve the puzzle to reach the bridge. Knock down the bridge after opening the door, go past the NPC spirit (circle back around to the door that leads back to the Revenant arena), lower the bridge, and use the lowered bridge. In the Revenant arena, you can access a new door to the right that contains a legendary chest with the Golden Talisman Of Protection.
