Amulet of Yggdrasil Location
Vanaheim’s Fortitude
- Cooldown: 20
- Luck: 2
- Set Bonus: Kratos’s melee damage is increased against enemies that are afflicted by a status effect. This is an excellent set bonus for depleting the health bars of larger enemies. Inflicting a status effect on an enemy via Atreus and unleashing a barrage of melee attacks on enemies afterward is a great way of taking down some of the tankier enemies of the game.This enchantment scales with Luck.
- Location: Defeating Crimson the Dread during the quest “For Vanaheim”.
Nifleheim’s Security
- Defence: 10
- Set Bonus: Kratos’s melee damage is buffed as long as his health remains above 75%. For a game where you face a barrage of enemies constantly, and your health remains somewhere in the middle, you may not make the most out of this enchantment set bonus, but combined with another enchantment set bonus which we will be discussing momentarily, you can potentially buff Kratos’s damage for 75% of the combat.This enchantment scales with defense.
- Location: Can be bought for 1000 Hacksilver from Huldra Brothers’ shop after the quest “The Reckoning”.
Emblem of Elusion
- Bonus: This enchantment enhances your speed and evading distance. This is a simple enchantment but with a highly effective utility. The speed boost and have tons of advantages, for example: quickly reaching a stunned enemy, interrupting an enemy’s attack with your runic ones, or simply for keeping close distance. Likewise, the increased evasion window can save you at very crucial times.The utility of this bonus can be really felt when completing Musphelheim’s challenges or fighting Valkyries.

Helheim’s Force

Greater Regenerating Essence
- Bonus: Greater Regenerating Essence is one of the most, if not the most, highly useful enchantments of God of War Ragnarok. You can’t always rely on Atreus or the health gems drop to refill your health. You will find yourself in a situation with low health and no means to refill it a lot! This is where keeping your distance and letting the enchantment do its job can save you.At the same time, this definitely isn’t a substitute for healing, as the rate at which this regenerates health is not fast enough to recover you from all incoming attacks instantly. This enchantment requires 170 Vitality.

Svartalfheim’s Honor

When against armored or bigger enemies that can’t be staggered or stun-locked by normal attacks, building up their stun bar and using the R3 stagger attack is the quickest way of putting them out of action. That’s where the set bonus of Svartalfheim enchantments comes into play, letting you build up the stagger bar at a much faster rate.This enchantment scales with Defence.
- Location: Obtained by completing the favor called “Conscience for the Dead”
Asgard Fortitude
- Strength: 12
- Cooldown: 3
- Set Bonus: Increase the damage of all of Kratos’s triangle attacks and abilities. This enchantment scales with Cooldown.

- Location: Can be acquired by defeating the Hel-Traveller during the quest “Reunion”.
Wrap Up
Before we conclude our guide, we just want to give you a heads-up on the enchantments with Set Bonus. Set bonuses are only received when you have two other enchantments of the same realm set. Otherwise, the only benefits you will gain are stats bonuses.
