Weapon Upgrade

Leviathan Wakes

For completing certain tasks, Kratos receives Frozen Flames, which Brok and Sindri can use to upgrade the Leviathan Axe. With this resource in your inventory, talk to either brother and select the weapon upgrade to increase the axe’s strength and unlock new Skills. Frozen Flames are earned by completing the following:

• Meet Brok after escaping the Ruins
• Defeat the Ogre on first trip to Foothills
• Defeat Járn Fótr in Heart of the Mountain
• Defeat Magni and Modi at Thamur’s Corpse
• Purchased from Shop w/Chilling Mists of Niflheim (Found in Niflheim Center Chamber Legendary Chest in exchange for 5000 Mist Echoes.)

Chaos and Conflagration

Complete certain tasks to receive Chaos Flames, which can be taken to Brok or Sindri in exchange for an upgrade to the Blades. Each upgrade increases the weapon’s strength and unlocks new Skills. Earn a Chaos Flame for the following:

• Defeat Máttugr Helson in Helheim
• Defeat the Trolls in Týr’s Vault after collecting the Black Rune Stone
• Defeat the Hel-Traveler during escape of Helheim
• Purchased from Shop w/Raging Inferno of Muspelheim (Earned by defeating Valkyrie Göndul at the top of Muspelheim)

Armor

Hearts of Stone

Defeat and loot an Ancient to find an Ancient’s Heart. Note that the Soul Eater and Soul Devourer do not drop this item. The Stone Ancient inside the Alfheim temple is the first opportunity to find this item during the Journey. Collect their dropped Ancient’s Rubble too in order to craft the armor.

Justice and War

Completing three of the Wayward Spirit Favors—“Anatomy of Hope,” “Dead Freight,” and “Hammer Fall”—earns an Offering to Týr. Return them to Brok or Sindri, and they can craft three new armor pieces: Týr’s Lost Unity Cuirass, Týr’s Lost Unity Gauntlets, and Týr’s Lost Unity Belt.

The Road Less Traveled

Travelers drop valuable resources when defeated, including Traveler’s Grisly Trophy and Traveler’s Armor Shard. Bring the resources back to Brok or Sindri, and they can make a nice Legendary armor set. This can be started after reaching the summit the first time in the Journey by looting a Traveler, such as the Traveler Champion at Thamur’s Corpse.
