Unlock Nornir Chests and Smash Everything
5 Things You Need to Know About God of War
As you guide Kratos through the game, you’ll frequently encounter chests with blue runes on them called Nornir Chests. Each of these is unlocked after completing a basic puzzle which involves hitting three bells/pots. Don’t be tempted to skip over these because they contain valuable health and rage meter upgrades that you won’t be able to find elsewhere.
Keep in mind that the bells/pots you need to strike are always within the immediate vicinity of the chest, so it’s often just a case of uncovering debris around the area to locate them.
You should be smashing everything in site anyway because that’s the easiest way to earn Hacksilver, which is the game’s main currency. You’ll be using this to buy and craft weapons. Most of the Hacksilver you find will be in chests and special locations, but it’s possible to accumulate it by simply breaking different boxes, crates, and vases. If you’ve been pouring stats into your Luck, you’ll find that Kratos comes across much more Hacksilver when breaking things.
