What is Muspelheim in God of War Ragnarok?
Muspelheim is the primordial realm of fire in Norse mythology and is home to the fire giants, a powerful race of primeval Jotun.

How do you complete the Muspelheim combat challenges in God of War Ragnarok?
With both Muspelheim seeds acquired, you can now make your way to the realm of fire from any Mystic Gateway. Once you’re there, explore the pathways and you will see a Nornir Chest in front of Brok and Sindri’s Shop. To open it, go to the northwest, north and northeast. Here you will see giant swords sticking out of the ground bearing the same runes as the chest. Complete the challenges the swords offer and you can open the chest. These challenges are recommended from about character level 5, but are easier if you do them in the post-game. Either way, here’s a run-down of each one.
Timed challenge - Remember to switch between weapons to quickly damage shielded enemies. Use Blades for blue shield, Axe for red and Spear for Grey. Reward: Divine ashes, Shoulder Guard of Undying Pyres Flawless - Immediately take out the ranged enemies who appear on the upper levels of the arena, since they’re the ones most likely to clip you - Reward: Divine Ashes Ring out - Make use of the R2 Spear combo here, it’s the best at pushing enemies. Reward: Divine Ashes, Bracers of Undying Pyres Feed the Rift - Most enemies drop cores to throw in the rift, pick them up and throw before moving on to fighting something else. Reward: Divine Ashes Population control - Focus on defeating the Bergersa Mother and nothing else. Reward: Divine Ashes,Girdle of Undying Pyres King of the Hill - Your goal is to not let the time bar fill up, charged spear throws and detonations are best for keeping them at bay. Reward: Divine Ashes
Once all of those six are completed, you can return to the main area and open the chest. Your reward is a Chaos Flame to fully upgrade your Blades of Chaos. There are then more optional challenges to complete, but this starts a new quest!
