The Assassin's Creed Valhalla Hreidmar's armour is one of the best new armour sets to come out of the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC. As Assassin's Creed has delved further into RPG territory, armour sets have become increasingly important and the best way to show off your mythical Viking cred in Valhalla. The Hreidmar armour set is the latest with one of the coolest looking sets with some great perks. And to top it all off, it is actually cursed. Here's where to find the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Hreidmar's armour set and how to lift the curse.

To find Hreidmar's Armour in Assassin's Creed Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok, you will need to find the Hodda Shelter west of Eitri. To locate the armour, head to the first passageway to the left of the exit of the shelter, once through there turning left will reveal the area where the Hreidmar's Armour is kept. 

You can collect the entire armour set from here, however, it is poisonous and if any of the item is equipped you will lose a large part of your health, which cannot be recovered while wearing it. To reverse this, you will need to remove the curse from the armour.

To break the curse on the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Hreidmar's Armour you will need the Motsognir Clarity rune equipped to switch the armour from cursed to blessed. However, this is required for each bit of armour, so you will need a total of five Motsognir Clarity runes.

To seek these out, you're looking for the Jotun Blight icon. When you find one of those locations, the area becomes windy and shrouded by mist and snow. You must shoot four or five of the glowing red skulls before you can collect the rune. Use Odin's Sight to follow the trail that links each of the skulls together  Here's where you can find five Motsognir Clarity runes:

Once you have collected all of the Motsognir Clarity runes, you will now be able to apply them to Assassin's Creed Valhalla Hreidmar's Armour. Head into your inventory menu and equip each piece of the armour.

Once that's done head into the Runes options for each piece, and apply the Motsognir Clarity runes. For some reason, the chest armour requires that you select the second empty rune slot, before you can apply it.

Once applied, all of the armour will lose their cursed debuffs, apply excellent perks, and even change colour from a dull silver to gold.

That's how you get your hands on the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Hreidmar's Armour set. With it you'll be more than ready for our guide on the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok Eysa boss fight
