Guide to completing the 'In Service of Asgard' favor in God of War Ragnarök. Learn how to find and shut down Modvitnir's, Radsvinn's, and Althjof's mining rigs in Svartalfheim.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Acquiring the Favor: Speak with Raeb, the tavern proprietor in Nidavellir, Svartalfheim. He will mention Mimir and the mining operations, initiating the favor.
  2. 2
    Modvitnir’s Rig:
    • Arrive at the rig and defeat waves of Wild Wretches.
  3. 3
    Climb the ledge, then use the Blades of Chaos to ascend further.
  4. 4
    Shoot the spinning wheel with the Leviathan Axe to lower a gate.
  5. 5
    Jump across, climb the platform to the left, and ascend to the top.
  6. 6
    Defeat another wave of Wild Wretches. Looting the chest here begins The Crucible favor and yields a piece of a Muspelheim seed.
  7. 7
    Grapple using the Blades of Chaos to the opposite platform.
  8. 8
    Hit the right spinning wheel twice to move the crane hook south. Grapple onto it.
  9. 9
    Defeat more Wild Wretches.
  10. 10
    Hit the right spinning wheel twice again to reach the chest on the eastern platform.
  11. 11
    Grapple back and climb the chain to the south.
  12. 12
    Prepare for a fight against a Bergsra and more Wild Wretches. Focus on the Bergsra to stop Wretch spawns. Dodge its unblockable red-circle attacks and parry/block its poison spit. Use Atreus' arrows for stun damage. Spartan Rage can be used for damage and healing.
  13. 13
    Interact with the mining rig furnace to shut it down. Loot the resources, including Nidavellir Ore.
  14. 14
    Radsvinn’s Rig:
    • Locate the rig on the same island as the Watchtower, northeast of Sindri's shop.
  15. 15
    Climb the ledges. At the top, shoot Odin's Raven on the crane hook to the north.
  16. 16
    Defeat numerous Grims that attack from all sides. Use fire pots to create burning surfaces.
  17. 17
    After killing Grims, deal with spawning Nightmares using ranged attacks (Atreus' arrows are effective).
  18. 18
    Once all enemies are cleared, interact with the mining furnace to shut it down. Loot the resources. Collect the Nornir Chest and Lore Marker in this area.
  19. 19
    Althjof’s Rig:
    • Find this rig north of Radsvinn's Rig.
  20. 20
    After docking and climbing the chain, shoot Odin's Raven located ahead and slightly left.
  21. 21
    Go to the crane lift mechanism to the right. Move the lift down twice until it aligns with the opposite platform.
  22. 22
    Proceed to the platform where you moved the lift. (The guide text cuts off here, implying further steps involving platforming and puzzles.)
Tips
  • When fighting the Bergsra, prioritize defeating it to stop the constant spawning of Wild Wretches.
  • Learn the Bergsra's attack patterns to effectively dodge or parry its unblockable and poison attacks.
  • Utilize environmental hazards like fire pots near Radsvinn's Rig to damage enemies.
  • Atreus' arrows are useful for dealing stun damage to both Wretches and Grims, and for hitting Nightmares at range.
  • Don't hesitate to lower the difficulty or use Spartan Rage if you're struggling with combat encounters.
  • Remember to loot all resources after shutting down each rig, especially the Nidavellir Ore for crafting.
