Master the Final Challenges of Muspelheim in God of War Ragnarök! Learn the trial combinations, unlock requirements, and strategies to conquer this tough favor.
Alright, so you're ready to tackle the ultimate test in Muspelheim, huh? The 'Final Challenges' favor is basically the game's way of saying, 'You think you're good? Prove it!' To even get here, you've gotta have cleared at least six of the regular Muspelheim Trials. Don't worry if the difference between Trials and Challenges is a bit fuzzy; we've got a separate guide for that if you need it. For this favor, though, we're focusing on the six big 'Challenges' that pop up after you've done your homework.
Here’s the lowdown on how these Challenges are unlocked:
| Trial Combination | Challenge Unlocked | Description |
| F + R | Shield Breaker Challenge | Kill grunts to break the Elite enemy’s shield |
| F + N | Endurance Challenge | Survive |
| N + R | Onslaught Challenge | Survive until the time elapses |
| N + F | Ring of Fire Challenge | Stay within the ring |
| R + N | Boss Rush Challenge | Defeat a series of challenging enemies |
| R + F | Phantom Challenge | Defeat all enemies |
See that? Each Challenge needs a specific combo of Trials from different sword monuments, each marked with a rune: F, N, and R. You'll need to complete one trial from each of the specified sword monuments. To make things even clearer, let's break down the initial trials you'll be messing with:
| Sword Monument | Associated Rune | Trial Name | Trial Description |
| North | F | Weapon Mastery | Defeat all enemies within the time limit |
| North | F | Flawless | Avoid taking damage |
| Northeast | N | Ring Out Challenge | Opponents rapidly regenerate from any damage |
| Northeast | N | Feed the Rift | Throw orbs into the realm tear to close it before time runs out |
| Southeast | R | Population Control | Kill the Elite while keeping the population under the limit |
| Southeast | R | King of the Hill | Keep enemies out of the rings until the time expires |
Once you've knocked out at least one of these six trials, you'll unlock the corresponding Challenge. But wait, there's more! After you've completed those initial six, a few more trials become available for each monument. These give you a bit more variety:
| Sword Monument | Associated Rune | Trial Name | Trial Description |
| North | F | Rampage | Defeat 20 enemies within the time limit |
| Northeast | N | Health Steal | Take constant damage, but recover health by dealing damage |
| Southeast | R | Kill Fuse | Rapidly kill enemies to increase the timer |
So, to get a specific Challenge, say the 'Shield Breaker Challenge' (F + R), you need to complete *one* trial from an 'F' monument (like 'Weapon Mastery', 'Flawless', or 'Rampage') AND *one* trial from an 'R' monument (like 'Population Control', 'King of the Hill', or 'Kill Fuse'). Once you've met the requirements for a Challenge, just head to the central sword in the arena, right below the forge, and interact with it to jump in. Good luck – you're gonna need it!
