In this God of War guide, we’ll tell you exactly where to find Anchor of Fog, what it is, and what treasure you can expect to get using it. The Realm Tears they unlock are also full of deadly challenges, but should you manage to make it out alive, some powerful assets are yours for the taking.

What is Anchor of Fog For in God of War?

Normally, you would use Mist Echoes to get treasures in Niflheim, but Anchor of Fog unlocks the region’s best-kept secrets: Realm Tears. There are three Realm Tears, and each requires an Anchor of Fog to unlock.

Once you arrive in a Realm Tear, you’ll face powerful opponents and assuming you don’t die, you’ll get a lovely new treasure as a reward. It can be anything ranging from an axe pommel to a new attack.

How to Get Anchor of Fog in God of War

You’ll need to visit Niflheim, and probably more than once thanks to the random nature of the map and its treasures. While Niflheim changes with each visit, there is still a structure that stays the same.

The map is essentially a diamond shape with two nodes at the northwest and northeast sides. Each of those nodes has a chance of containing a legendary treasure chest that may contain an Anchor of Fog, though the northwest node always has a Valkyrie to fight.

The trouble is, the chests don’t always contain an Anchor of Fog, so you’ll often have to try again to get what you want. And again. You’ll also need plenty of Mist Echoes.
