Although you need to obtain Mist Echoes from Nilfheim in order to craft it, each piece is worth the effort - boasting varied stats high in Strength, Runic, Defence, and Vitality respectively. As well as sporting a base Level 7 before even being upgraded, each part of the Cursed Mist Armour also comes with the perk, Regenerating Essence, stackable up to five times to add increasing amounts of health regeneration.

Best God Of War Armor: How To Craft
After you visit Nilfheim for the first time, Sindri will task in you in a Favor to retrieve 500 Mist Echoes from the Nilfheim Labyrinth to trade for the key to Ivaldi's Workshop. Completing the Favor altogether rewards you with three pieces each of Ivaldi's Rusted Armour for the chest, wrist, and waist respectively. Using these nine pieces, you can start crafting pieces of Mist Armor choosing from three variations: Deadly Mist Armor, Cursed Mist Armor, and Endless Mist Armor. Each type of Mist Armor favours different stats, so choose whichever fits your playstyle.
That's everything on the best armor in God of War. With the upcoming God of War Ragnarök release date, playing the 2018 game using this guide will surely help equip you with the practice needed to have you ready when the sequel releases on PlayStation consoles later this year.
