How do I get to the depths of Niflheim?
To get to the depths of Niflheim, you need to collect Mist Echoes, buy amazing armor, and learn the map to defeat enemies, and this process is a loop of fighting, looting, solving Nornir chest puzzles, and growing your bank account. The Ivaldi armor allows Kratos to stay in the maze for longer and also drastically raises his level, enabling you to go deeper into the Niflheim maze and eventually complete an entire lap, returning to the start.
