How to Get to Muspelheim in God of War Ragnarok
You can get to Muspelheim and unlock the Crucible quests by finding both halves of the Muspelheim Yggdrasil seed. While both are located in the realm of Svartalfheim, you need to progress different Story quests to get them. That’s because of a particular locked-out area or region in the realm. So, here’s where you can find them in GoW Ragnarok:
- You can obtain the first half of the Muspelheim Yggdrasil Seed at Modvitnir’s Rig to the western shores in GoW Ragnarok.
- And you can find the second half of the seed at Alberich Hollow to the east of Dragon beach. You can find this seed halve at the top of the wooden platform.
- You can obtain the first half as you progress with the second quest, Quest of Tyr.
- On the other hand, you can get the second half of the Muspelheim Yggdrasil seed while progressing through the sixth story quest, Forging Destiny.
- If you are having trouble, check out our detailed Muspelheim seed locations guide to find out their exact locations.
Once you have both halves of the Muspelheim Yggdrasil seed, you will unlock the Muspelheim realm and Crucible Quests. You can use any Mystic Gateway to travel to Muspelheim in God of War Ragnarok.
As you reach Muspelheim, you will find a Nornir Chest in the middle. But unlike other Chests, this cannot be opened right away.
Crucible Favour Quests at Muspelheim
You need to complete different Crucible Quests to unlock and open these chests. There are six Crucible Quests that you can complete. And they are as follows:
- Weapon Mastery Trial
- Flawless Trial
- Ring out Challenge Trial
- Feed the Rift Trial
- Population Control Trial
- King of the Hill Trial
Upon completing each of these trials, you earn several rewards for completing them. This includes XP rewards, Hacksilver, and other resources like Divine Ashes. Once you complete all the trials, you can head over to the large Nornir Chest. As you open the chest, you can earn the Chaos Flame. You can use these resources to upgrade the Blades of Chaos. In addition to that, you are also rewarded with 10,000 XP and 2,500 XP for Atreus, Freya, or other companions.
