God of War Ragnarok has 8 Chaos Flame Locations. They are used to upgrade the level of the Blades of Chaos, one of your weapons. The Blades start at Level 1, using 8 Chaos Flames upgrades it to Level 9 which is the maximum (Level 1 Starting Level + 8 Chaos Flames = Level 9).
You can use the Chaos Flames at the Blacksmith to upgrade the Blades of Chaos. This also increases your average equipment level as seen in the top left corner of the Weapons Menu. The higher your overall level, the more powerful you become. Each level also increases the damage of the blades.
You get all Chaos Flames automatically while going for 100% Completion. The majority is dropped by mandatory story bosses. If you forgot to loot one, the item is automatically placed in the blue chest at the blacksmith and can be retrieved from there.

Best and accurate description to fully upgrade the Blades. All other sites don’t cover the details and breakdowns.

I did not receive a Chaos Flame from the Frost Phantom in The Word of Fate mission. Replayed multiple times and it always only drops a Jewel of Yddgrasil and not the flame. I have also tried clearing to check the chest at the blacksmith and there’s nothing there either.
