Mist Echoes Information

Mist Echoes

Rarity Common
Description
Once, the Dwarves learned to craft their works from the mists of Niflheim. The mist bears a memory of this time as well, and becomes tangible enough to collect. Used to craft and upgrade armor, Pommels, and Talismans with the powers of cursed mist.

How to Obtain Mist Echoes

How to Get Mist Echoes
Obtained from every type of chest all over Niflheim

Hidden Within Chests In Niflheim

Within Niflheim and deeper still into Ivaldi's Workshop, players will be able to gain access to different types of chests. These chests, apart from providing players with other types of resources such as the Aesirbane or Anchor of Fog, will also often provide players with Mist Echoes in small increments.

Clear Areas of Enemies

In each of the chambers that a player can come across in the workshop, there will be either a Red or Legendary Chest that they can open alongside regular breakable ones. In order for Kratos to interact with these, players will first need to clear each chamber of the enemies that spawn there before they can be allowed to interact with these chests.

Find Hidden Chests

God of War - Find Hidden Chests.png
When moving from one chamber or challenge area to the next within the workshop, players can often find chests tucked away in corners that are easy to miss if players are trying to rush through the traps meant to impede a player's progress through each path. These chests similarly hold Mist Echoes alongside other resources that they can use.

How to Farm Mist Echoes

Leave Higher Tier Chests for Last

Whenever a Legendary, Red Chest, or Nornir Chest becomes available in an area a player explores within the workshop, it is best to leave these alone. This is due to a "multiplier" within Ivaldi's workshop that gives players more Mist Echoes and loot for every chest that they open.

The strategy to get thousands of Mist Echoes by the end of every run is to first open up regular chests that can be broken for its loot – once the entire workshop has been cleared of these chests and enemies, players can then open Red, Nornir, and then Legendary chests to gain higher and higher Mist Echoes for every chest they open.
