Hilt of Hofud

Realm Shifts are time distortions that enable you to slow down the flow of time during combat. This ability is particularly useful when facing a large group of enemies or a fast, agile boss, as it provides the chance to find openings for critical strikes.

Motsognir’s Call

 

Motsognir's Call is by far the best relic in the game due to the shockwave it generates. Unlike typical area-of-effect attacks that target only the area in front of you, this relic's shockwave spreads in all directions, providing full 360-degree protection.

Effects: Create a shockwave that deals high Stun to surrounding enemies.

How to get: Picked up on the top floor of the Aesir Prison Wreckage in Niflheim.
