Collect five Brooches

XP Earned

1075, plus 10 per Artifact found

Sell Artifact

10000 Hacksilver

Brooch 1

Just after entering the realm of Helheim, head right to find the first Brooch. Defeat any Hel-Walkers in the area before collecting the Artifact.

Brooch 2

While traversing the bridge toward the Guardian, you’re diverted to the side and eventually reach an open area with tall pillars. Look on the backside of the first pillar to find a Brooch stuck on with Hel’s Bramble. Use the Blades of Chaos to knock it down.

Brooch 3

After climbing out of the sunken arena where you faced the Hel-Viken, burn through the Brambles and pass through a narrow passage. Follow the path and spot more Brambles up high on the underside of the walkway bridge. Burn them to drop a Brooch to the ground for pickup.

Brooch 4

Return to Helheim with Atreus and make your way to the far end, just before the gate where you first learned to harness the Winds of Hel. Steps lead up from the middle of the bridge to a narrow walkway. Fire a Shock Arrow at the Shatter Crystal to the left. This gets you inside the Hidden Chamber of Odin; a Brooch lies on the ground just beyond the Shatter Crystal.

Brooch 5

Ride the elevator down to the lower floor of the Hidden Chamber of Odin. Climb the steps to the balcony and search the left corner for the final Brooch.
