How to reach Muspelheim?
To get to Muspelheim, you must complete a disk with a Muspelheim cipher. The disc itself has been divided into four parts - you can find them in purple chests hidden in different parts of the game's world.
The first piece can be found on Forgotten Caverns island. Climb the chain up and find the chest.
The second piece can be found on Cliffs of the Raven island - climb the chain up (you can find it right next to the Troll's corpse).
The third piece can be found in the area between Shore of Nine and Foothills. The chest can be found near the wooden ladder and Sindri's shop.
The last piece is in the Witch's cavern, in The River Pass.
Muspelheim - the description of the realm
After completing the key, you can head to Tyr's Temple and travel to Muspelheim.
- Muspelheim is the fiery land in God of War, where you'll find plenty of trials that require you to defeat enemies in a certain way. Sometimes you have to avoid being injured, sometimes you have to defeat reinforced enemies or complete a fight within a time limit.
- The location is divided into five swords - each of them offers trials on "normal" and "hard" difficulty levels. After completing both challenges, you can move on to the next section of the land and face new enemies.
- It is important to note that the difficulty of the Muspelheim challenges is independent of the game's main difficulty. For example, it is possible to set the game's difficulty to low to make it easier to complete all of the challenges in Muspelheim and unlock the associated rewards (including the Fire and Brimstone trophy).
- At the very end of the land, there is a fight with a Valkyrie waiting for you, which is very difficult (in my opinion this one is the most difficult out of them all). After overcoming it, the remaining swords will gain a new challenge with the level of difficulty "impossible". As the name suggests, they are very challenging.
- When you have completed three challenges on impossible, you can go to the top of the land and run a special challenge that requires you to overcome a certain number of enemies within a certain time limit. Your prize depends on your score. You can beat this challenge many times, although you always have to get three fragments of the key.
- Remember that you can come back to the challenges later in the game when you have better equipment. Doing everything at once is very frustrating and unnecessarily difficult.
Trial 1 - Normal and Hard
Trial 1: Normal
Goal: Kill the enemies before time runs out.
Commentary: The first trial is very easy and should be treated as a warm-up. Simply defeat 15 enemies in 3 minutes.
Trial 1: Hard
Goal: Kill enemies at short intervals.
Commentary: This Trial is more challenging - enemies will resurrect if other enemies are still alive. Weaken the monsters and kill one after another.
Trial 2 - Normal and Hard
Trial 2: Normal
Goal: Survive for 5 minutes.
Commentary: It starts to get more difficult - you have to survive for 5 minutes. At the end of the battle there will be a lot of enemies, it is best to fight close to the edge and throw some of them into the abyss.
Trial 2: Hard
Goal: Defeat enemies - enemies quickly regenerate from any injury.
Commentary: Here, the best method to win is to fight near the edge and throw the enemies into abyss by, e.g. kicking them. Atreus' light arrows are also useful here because they help you stun opponents.
Trial 3 - Normal and Hard
Trial 3: Normal
Goal: Kill regular enemies to break the elite's defense.
Commentary: The Elite Dark Elf is invulnerable until all his allies are dead. This is a rather challenging Trial - you have to be on a move constantly and watch out for his attacks while you are dealing with weaker targets.
Trial 3: Hard
Goal: Kill enemies while they are inside the gold rings.
Commentary: Look for gold rings on the ground and kill enemies inside of them. Kills performed outside of them won't be added to your score. Kill the specific number of enemies before the time runs out. A rather difficult Trial - pulling enemies with Blades of Chaos work great here.
Trial 4 - Normal and Hard
Trial 4: Normal
Goal: Kill 100 enemies.
Commentary: A battle for survival where you have to use your strength reasonably. You have to defeat 100 enemies. Over time, they will become more and more powerful. You have to be careful and avoid enemy attacks.
Trial 4: Hard
Goal: Don't let the enemies capture Atreus.
Commentary: The enemies will try to capture Atreus. If they succeed, you will have a limited amount of time to rescue him. Stay close to the boy and quickly eliminate all enemies.
Trial 5 - Normal and Hard
Trial 5: Normal
Goal: Defeat enemies to extend the timer.
Commentary: The trial begins with a time limit. Each kill extends the time of the trial. You have to defeat all enemies before the time runs out - this will be challenging, as you will face, among others, the Soul Devourer.
Trial 5: Hard
Goal: Avoid damage.
Commentary: You can't get hit even once. Defeat all enemies while not receiving any damage to complete the trial. You might want to use the blades of chaos and keep your distance.
Trial 1 - Impossible
Goal: Avoid damage.
Commentary: An extremely difficult trial. There will be a whole bunch of enemies coming at you, and eventually, even an ancient will appear - watch out, since he can easily lock his attack on you. You should get the sort of equipment that increases strength of e.g. axe throws and maintain your distance.
Trial 2 - Impossible
Goal: Kill the enemies before the time runs out.
Commentary: You will face mighty, mighty enemies - make sure you have the best equipment possible.
Trial 3 - Impossible
Goal: Kill the enemies inside golden rings.
Commentary: A very difficult task - ogres appear towards the end, and they tend to render all your efforts null and void.
Trial 4 - Impossible
Goal: Defeat the enemies - they regenerate quicker.
Commentary: Throw the enemies from precipices or into lava. As concerns the elves - try to stun them and use finishers to quickly get rid of them.
Trial 5 - Impossible
Goal: Kill the enemies to extend the timer.
Commentary: You will face the toughest enemies - they're incredibly resistant and strong. You can't afford to take too long breaks between eliminations of enemies.
Trial 6 - Impossible
Goal: Kill as many as you can in 8 minutes.
Commentary: You've got 8 minutes to kill as many enemies as possible. The more enemies you kill, the better the awards will be.
