How To Get Nidavellir Armor Set In God Of War Ragnarok

To craft the full Nidavellir armor set in God of War Ragnarok, players need to collect six Nidavellir ores since each armor costs two of these ores to be crafted. The Nidavellir armor set is super useful to have in the early game. Kratos can put his hands on all three armors after reaching Nidavellir village while progressing in the main quest.

Having the Nidavellir armor set in God of War Ragnarok early will noticeably raise Kratos’ stats and give him an essential early boost to kick off all the early game content with ease.

Of course, it’s not that easy to get Nidavellir ores in the early game, but the best and fastest way to do it is by finishing the In Service Of Asgard Favor (side quest) since it’s easy to solve and grants players exactly the six Nidavellir ores they need to craft the full Nidavellir set in God of War Ragnarok.

To get the In Service Of Asgard Favor, players must reach Nidavellir village and advance in the main quest. Once they reach the second part of the village, they can meet Raeb who’ll give Kratos and Atreus the Favor quest to clean the three rigs.

It’s very simple to reach all three areas that have rigs in them. All players have to do is follow the marker, and it will lead them to the shore of each area.

Modvitnir Rig

Players can get to Modvitnir’s rig first. After jumping and parkouring for a while, players will reach a faraway platform that needs some kind of puzzle-solving to reach.

Luckily, it’s not that complicated. Turn to the left to find the key that Kratos has to hit with his throwing axe. Throw the axe on it twice to rotate the entire platform and place the red orb in front of Kratos. Now, jump through it to reach the next area.

From here, it’s easy to reach the rig. Defeat the enemies defending it and clean it to receive the first two Nidavellir ores and a couple of other God of War Ragnarok items.

Althjof Rig

Althjof’s rig is the most complicated to reach among all three. Players must go through multiple layers of one puzzle to reach the top and turn it off.

First, use the mechanism to move the object that holds a red orb. This red orb allows Kratos to jump through it. Then, go to the elevator and pull it down to the bottom using Kratos’ Blades of Chaos.

The next step is to go through the elevator to the next area. After going through climbing and destroying a couple of red barrels that open up a few rooms, players will find themselves on the opposite side of the top floor that has the rig on it. To fix that, from the top, find the floor that Kratos can break into and jump through it, then grab the elevator, and send it back to the top.

Now, go back to the top floor and rotate the mechanism again to take the red orb to its highest place and jump through the elevator again to reach the rig. Players then will get an additional two Nidavellir ores when interacting with the rig and turning it off.

Radsvinn Rig

Radsvinn’s rig doesn’t involve any puzzles. All players have to do is climb and pass a few obstacles to reach the objective.

Once players make it to the rig, a horde of enemies is defending it and Kratos must defeat them to be able to interact with the rig.

After defeating the enemies, Kratos will clear the rig and turn it off to get some juicy rewards, most importantly the two Nidavellir ores which allow players to craft all three Nidavellir armors in the set.
