The three sets of Niflheim Mist Armor are among the best sets in the game, making them extremely valuable to players making their way through the Realms. The process of getting the armor is just as long as the gear is strong, so it is essential to know where to look and how to get the armor before setting out to retrieve it. This guide will explain how to get the Niflheim Mist Armor sets in God of War (2018).
These sets are the Endless Mist, Deadly Mist, and Cursed Mists sets, all of which can be crafted by finding specific resources. The first step in the process is to reach the Realm that the armor is named after, Niflheim. This is an optional Realm that serves as God of War’s rogue-like area and requires the player to find a set of collectibles called Niflheim Language Ciphers.
Once you have all the Ciphers, you will be able to access the Realm of Fog, where you will find Sindri. The Dwarven blacksmith tells you about Ivalidi’s Workshop, a location within the Fog-laden maze where you will find the Armor. You will need to get an Entry Stone from Sindri to enter the workshop. This will cost you 500 Mist Echos, which you get from fighting your way through the randomly generated maze past Sindri.
Grind here until you get the necessary Echos; just know that you lose any resources that you have gathered in a run if you die. Make sure that you head back to Sindri to bank Echoes to avoid losing them as you grind. Once you get the Stone, go to the pedestal in the first area of the maze to enter the workshop and get yourself Ivalidi’s Rusted Armor.
With the Rusted Armor, you can craft one of the three sets of Mist Armor by collecting the necessary resources. The resources that you need to pull together are Hacksilver, the most common currency you will find in the game, Echo Mists, and Niflheim Alloys, the latter two being items that you will discover traversing the maze of Niflheim. Each variant of the Mist Armor provides you with a Regeneration perk that will refill Kratos’ health after short intervals. When you have the resources, return to Sindri, and he will craft you these exceptional armor sets.
