Where to Find the Mystical Heirloom in God of War Ragnarok

Of all the relics you can find in God of War Ragnarok, the Mystical Heirloom is by far the most curious and mysterious relic. Unlike other relics, it’s effectively useless in combat, proffering no benefits or practical application whatsoever, but used in the right place across the Nine Realms can summon some truly towering enemies, ultimately leading to one of the best armor sets in God of War Ragnarok – the Steinbjorn armor.

How to Get the Mystical Heirloom Relic in God of War Ragnarok

First things first, you’ll need to have Draupnir Spear to access the Mystical Heirloom. You’ll pick it up as part of the mandatory main path story mission called Forging Destiny. Aside from being a formidable weapon to complement the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos, it has the added utility of breaking through weak points and creating climbing points in wind notches across the Nine Realms.

Spear in hand, travel to the Lake of Nine mystic gateway in Midgard and sled down to the south of the lake, just southwest of Tyr’s Temple. There you’ll find a cluster of ice blocking the path to a small hidden area. Spear and detonate the weak point to clear the ice. Step through into the area. You’ll find the relic on the left as you enter next to a body.

We also recommend picking up and reading the Receipt of Purchase Lore Scroll next to the relic as it provides some clues as to how to use the heirloom. Mirmir also has a bit of knowledge to impart so listen up for more clues.

If you need a hand figuring it all out and the steps involved in getting the coveted Steinbjorn armor set – Steinbjorn Plackart, Steinbjorn Waist Guard, and Steinbjorn Gauntlets wrist armor – check out our dedicated guide. It involves hunting down troll statues to summon several hulking troll boss fights – Blodugr Steinn at the Derelict Outpost in Midgard, Bjarg Stormr in The Forbidden Sands in Alfehim, and Golrab of the Ashes and Golrab of the Frost at Noatun’s Garden in the River Delta portion of Vanaheim – to unlock rewards to craft the set, each one granting a slumber stone.
