Crest of Surtr is a crafting material in God of War. You need it to unlock the Heavy Runic Attacks called Breath of Thamur and Meteoric Slam. Unfortunately, Crest of Surtr is a fairly rare material that you can only get from one location. Read on to learn where to find this material and how to get Meteoric Slam & Breath of Thamur.
This is how you get Crest of Surtr as well as Meteoric Slam & Breath of Thamur
To Crest of Surtr in God of War To get it, you have to complete the Muspelheim Trials. As the name suggests, you have to take on these trials/challenges in Muspelheim. To get there you need all four Muspelheim Cyphers. You can then head to Muspelheim and go into the arena there and interact with the giant fire sword in the middle to begin the Muspelheim Trials. Be prepared for a tough fight as it can get quite difficult and tricky.
Once you have successfully completed the Trials, you will receive two chests as a reward. You will find a lot of materials in the chests and one will also give you Crest of Surtr. I received Crests of Surtr, although how many you receive may depend on how well you do in the Trials. I managed gold at the Trials, which is why I received three Crests. I’m not sure if there’s a connection, but it’s something to keep in mind. Now you can go to the nearest shop/dealer.
Once you’re at the shop, you’ll be able to purchase the Meteoric Slam and Breath of Thamur Heavy Runic Attacks. You also need other materials for this, such as Smoldering Ember, Crest of Flame, and so on, but you can also get them in Muspelheim. Each of the Runic Attacks requires a Crest of Surtr. Both attacks are great and look incredibly cool, but the most important thing is that they can deal massive damage. So they are worth the effort. Meteor Slam is for the Blades of Chaos and summons several flaming rocks to fall on the enemies. Breath of Thamur is for the Leviathan Ax and is a big AOE attack with cold winds. Interestingly, this attack doesn’t deal Frost damage until you upgrade it, but it’s still great.
