- Shops: 1
- Realm Tear Encounters: 3

When you first visit the area in the story, you are still missing the unlockable skills needed to reach some collectibles. The order in which you can reach the collectibles may also be slightly different in the story. This walkthrough is intended for use after the story.
Unlocking Niflheim
To unlock this realm, you must find 4 Niflheim Language Ciphers. They are found in purple chests throughout the game (the ones with a white “face” lock). Luckily, there are much more than 4 of them. For their locations, refer to the guide for all Niflheim Language Cipher Locations.
Video Guide
#1 – Shop 1/1 – 0:05
Unmissable, in plain sight. You run into Sindri’s Shop just before the poisonous mist area.
#2 – Favor 1/3 (Ivaldi’s Workshop) – 0:22
Accepted from Sindri’s Shop. He wants you to collect 500 Mist Echoes which you find the Labyrinth with the poisonous mist. The Mist Echoes are found in chests in this mist labyrinth. Getting 500 is no big deal, just open a few chests. Then return to Sindri and he wants you to craft the Entry Stone to Ivaldi’s chamber. To craft it you need to open the shop > click on “Buy” > Resources. Then craft the item “Niflheim Entry Stone” under the resources tab. It will also be highlighted by a yellow exclamation mark in the shop menu so it’s pretty easy to see. Now go with the stone to the pedestal at the start of the mist labyrinth and use the entry stone on it. Favor complete!
#3 – Favor 2/3 (Ivaldi’s Protection) – 1:13
Triggers instantly after the last favor, when you’ve opened the central chamber. All you have to do is open a chest inside the chamber and bring the contents back to Sindri at his shop. A very short favor. The next one triggers right away and ties in with the Realm Tears.
#4 – Realm Tear Encounter 1/3 – 2:38
Ties in with Favor 3/3 “Ivaldi’s Curse”. Sindri wants you to close the 3 Realm Tears in Ivaldi’s Chamber, the one you just opened with the previous favors. The realm tears cost a lot of Mist Echoes. The fastest way to farm them is by opening all chests in the Mist Labyrinth and make it out alive without dying, before the timer at the top of the screen depletes. Also pick up everything the enemies drop. By opening all chests you should get 9,000 Mist Echoes on a good run. Then sell the enemy drops at the Shop. They give 1000-2500 each and you usually get 5 drops per run. So in total you will get 15,000 – 20,000 Mist Echoes per run, if you sell the materials. Note: only materials dropped within the Mist Labyrinth can be sold for echoes.
#5 – Realm Tear Encounter 2/3 – 3:30
In Ivaldi’s Central Chamber, same as the first Realm Tear.
#6 – Realm Tear Encounter 3/3 – 3:45
In Ivaldi’s Central Chamber, same as the first Realm Tear.
#7 – Favor 3/3 (Ivaldi’s Curse) – 4:03
This was triggered instantly after the second favor. Your only objective is to close all 3 realm tears in Ivaldi’s chamber. Check the description of the first Realm Tear for more instructions.
#8 – Valkyries 1/1 – 4:32
The Valkyrie is marked on the map. She’s on the left-most quadrant of the Mist Labyrinth. Just spam some high-damage runic attacks on her and she will go down fast.
That’s 100% of the collectibles you can find in Niflheim area in God of War. This was the last area in the game, if you followed the other walkthroughs you should now have 100% game completion and all collectible trophies.
