How do you get the Niflheim Legendary Chest?
In God of War (2018), the Niflheim legendary chest is a sought-after reward for players, containing powerful items and secrets. This article will guide you through the steps to acquire this chest, located in the Niflheim Realm.
Niflheim Legendary Chest Overview
The Niflheim Legendary Chest is found in the Niflheim Realm, a region unlocked by completing the Muspelheim Realm and the Quest for the Traveler’s Chosen Ones. Niflheim has 4 Cipher Pieces that must be collected before you can enter the Realm and obtain the legendary chest.
Cipher Pieces Locations
Below are the locations for the 4 Niflheim Cipher Pieces:
| Cipher Piece | Location |
|---|---|
| CPS1 | Unpainted Darkness: On a corpse in the river of fire, at the center of the Niflheim Realm |
| CPS2 | Misty Abyss: Hidden on a ledge near the wall, accessible via the moving platforms in the Lower Chamber |
| CPS3 | Frozen Flames: Hidden behind a frozen door, requires Magma Mice to activate it in the Magma Lake area |
| CPS4 | The Abyss: At the end of the path in the Niflheim Ruins, found on a pedestal before entering the final area |
Unlocking Niflheim Legendary Chest
After collecting all 4 Niflheim Cipher Pieces, combine them at the Altar of Elven Gods (at the entrance of Niflheim Realm) to unlock the Legendary Chest.
What to Expect
The Niflheim Legendary Chest rewards Kratos with the Rune Chest (not a guaranteed item, unlocks in a specific way). Opening this chest will give you unique items, such as Hildr’s Helmet and Heart of the Valkyrie (requires killing the Valkyrie). Additionally, this will trigger the Set Bonus, increasing Melee damage when Kratos has above 75% Health.
Best Timing to Complete Niflheim
Consider completing Niflheim once Kratos reaches Level 6 or higher and has a well-built armor set. The challenging boss fights and limited loot will be more manageable, ensuring a more rewarding experience.
