Finding a good armor set right at the start of the game can be quite hard. But the Nidavellir Armor in God of War Ragnarok is easily one of the best armor that you can acquire and use in the early game. Therefore, this guide will show you how to unlock and craft it.
You’ll get the opportunity to unlock the armor almost midway into the second chapter after you unlock the “In Service of Asgard” Favor. It’ll take you to three different rigs, which will give you the Nidaviller Ore, which is needed for crafting the armor.
- To craft the Nidavellir Armor, players must first complete the In Service of Asgard favor unlocked in Chapter 2.
- Raeb will give you this favor in the second part of the Nidavellir Village, in Svartfalheim.
- The favor will mark 3 locations on your map. Head to each location and finish your objective.
- Completion of each location will give you 2 Nidavellir Ores.
- Once all 3l locations are completed, you will be able to craft the Nidavellir Armor with 6 Nidavellir Ores.
- The armor itself has decent stats but the unique thing is it regenerates your health if you kill an enemy with the R3 finisher.
Nidaviller Armor

Armor Piece | Defense | Vitality | Strength |
Chest Armor | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Wrist Armor | 12 | 6 | – |
Waist Armor | 12 | 6 | – |
The armor is great for having more health while also reducing stun drain on your enemies, allowing you to land stun attacks with ease. And if you upgrade the armor, it can easily last you into mid-game.
Unlocking The Armor: In Service Of Asgard Favor
As mentioned, to unlock the armor pieces and craft each one, you need to complete the In-Service of Asgard Favor. You’ll receive the Favor once you reach the second part of the Nidavellir village, where you’ll meet Raeb. Raeb will guide you toward the next main quest, as well as give you the Favor quest.
The premise of the quest is quite simple. There will be three different locations marked on your map as part of the quest. Head to each location and destroy the rig at the highest point in the location. The only tricky part is defeating the enemies and solving puzzles to reach the rig.
Modvitnir’s Rig



Hit the paddles twice with your axe, and you’ll be able to move the grapple point in position for you to make it across to the next section. You’ll again need to take out some Wretches. But once you do, take the chain upwards.

Althjof’s Rig

Use it to bring down the grapple point to just one position above the lowest possible position. Once the grappling point is in position, you can approach it by first bringing down the lift with your blades, allowing you to use the lift’s roof as a stepping platform.
Once you’ve stepped across, blow up the barrels on your left to clear a path. Move towards that path and grapple upwards. On your right should be a gate that you can open up. Clear the path using the barrel again and then climb up.

Head back out and towards the mechanical wheel again and move up the grappling point as high as you can. Then, climb up to the area where you had opened up the door. From there, jump onto the lift’s roof again, and grapple across. Then all you need to do is climb to the top, defeat the enemies, and then, you can disable the rig.
Radsvinn’s Rig

It is worth noting that there are more enemies here than in the previous two rigs, so you might have to be cautious. But once you do defeat the enemies, you can head back down where you came from. You’ll find Sindri there, who can craft the armor for you.
With all of that, you are ready to unlock and equip the Nidavellir Armor in God of War Ragnarok. For a small Favor quest, you get access to a really good armor that can help you conquer many areas for a good portion of the game.
