Learn how to obtain the Nidavellir's Finest Armor Set in God of War Ragnarök by completing the 'In Service of Asgard' favor and collecting Nidavellir Ore from mining rigs in Svartalfheim's Bay of Bounty.
The Nidavellir's Finest Armor Set is a powerful early-game option in God of War Ragnarök, offering useful perks that enhance combat effectiveness. This guide details how to acquire the necessary materials and craft the complete set.
How to Get Nidavellir Ore:
To obtain the ore needed for the Nidavellir's Finest Armor Set, you must first complete the 'In Service of Asgard' favor located in the Bay of Bounty in Svartalfheim. Upon completion of this favor, you will receive a total of 6 Nidavellir Ore, which is precisely the amount required to craft the entire set (2 ore per piece). The ore is found by looting the mining rigs; ensure you collect all the resources they yield. If you happen to miss any ore, it will be stored in the blue chest located next to Brok or Sindri's shop, provided you have shut down all the mines.
Once you have gathered all the necessary ore, visit any of Brok or Sindri's shops to craft the armor.
Nidavellir's Armor Perk Effects:
| Armor Piece | Perk |
|---|---|
| Nidavellir’s Finest Plackart | Stun Grabbing an enemy grants a health burst. |
| Nidavellir’s Finest Arm Guards | Reduces how quickly enemy Stun bars drain by 50% (100% if you combine with Waist Guard) |
| Nidavellir’s Finest Waist Guard | Reduces how quickly enemy Stun bars drain by 50% (100% if you combine with Arm Guards) |
The Plackart's perk is especially beneficial, offering a continuous health regeneration as long as you can maintain enemy stun-lock. To maximize this effect, combine Atreus's arrow shots with Kratos's quick melee strikes. Alternatively, using bare-handed combat inflicts more stun damage than the Leviathan Axe or Blades of Chaos on certain enemies. The health burst provides an immediate health gain and continues to heal you over approximately 8 seconds.
The perks on the Arm Guards and Waist Guard synergize with the Plackart's perk, granting more time to execute a stun grab and heal. These perks effectively extend the duration of the enemy's stun bar, allowing for a greater window to perform the stun grab and heal without being rushed.
