The eighth God of War chapter opens a new world to its fans and players. Set across the nine realms of Norse Mythology, Kratos shows a different side to his character as a father to his only son, Atreus. Check out the review to find out more.
Use Kratos' new weapon to defeat Norse gods and other enemies. Instead of double-chained blades, you'll need to use his magical battle axe which you can boost for greater damage in combat. At some point though, you're going to need the Crest of Surtr as a crafting element in order to upgrade your armor.
The Crest of Surtr is the most treasured element that can be found in Muspelheim. In Norse mythology, Muspelheim is the realm of fire, the home of the Jötunn Surtr. Surtr carries a bright sword that brings flames which devoured the earth.
In God of War, Kratos faces enemies which are also based on the Norse world like trolls, ogres, draugrs and even revenants. He needs the Crest of Surtr to create new armor. By bringing crests to the shop, you can trade it in for an upgrade or new gear if it’s needed for one of the crafting recipes.
Crest of Surtr's level of rarity is high, as you can only find it in Surtr’s Hidden Trial. This is unlocked after clearing all Normal and Hard trials. After that, you’ll need to clear any 3 of the 5 Impossible trials. Use the 3 keys you get as rewards to activate Surtr’s Hidden Trial.
The amount of Crest of Surtr depends on your rating. You can get five if you have a gold rating and two if you only earn silver. Surtr’s Hidden Trials are the hardest challenges in the game, so come prepared!
