How to find the Mists of Helheim heavy runic attack in God of War Ragnarok
The chest containing the Mists of Helheim can be found in Vanaheim. Players can access this chest via the following route:
- Players will have to head to the Cliffside Ruins in Vanaheim to find the chest containing this rune.
- This region is opposite the Mystic gateway, where Brok and Lunda have set up shop.
- The chest can be spotted opposite the edge of the ruins. The bridge to it has been closed, and players will have to find an alternate route.
- Kratos must travel by boat to the hidden "Veiled Passage."
- Continue to follow down the patch to reach at the level of the previously unreachable bridge at Cliffside Ruins.
- Players will then have to climb down to release the bridge and head off to the chest.
- The chest requires a lit bit of work to open, however, as it is obstructed by golden rocks.
- Have Freya fire her Sigil Arrows to create a medium-sized cluster on the rocks.
- Finally, have Kratos use his Blades of Chaos using L2 + R2 to explode the rocks and then climb down the bridge to access the chest.
- Open the chest to obtain the Mists of Helheim.
