God Of War: 10 Awesome Rare Items You Totally Missed
3. Valkyrie's Bane (Enchantment)
The Item: One of the best items you can use to make the Valkyrie fights a little easier, Valkyrie's Bane is a legendary enchantment that reduces the damage you receive from all Valkyrie attacks by 5 percent. It also bumps up Strength and Runic by 5.
While 5% might seem a little low, it could be the difference between life and death, especially when it comes to several of the Valkyrie's hard-to-dodge attacks. If you have a spare enchantment slot and are planning on collecting some Valkyrie helmets, make sure you have this on.
Interestingly enough, the enchantment's description mentions that the 5% bonus stacks up to 15%, despite the game not featuring another enchantment that provides a similar 5% boost (at least, not one with a guaranteed drop location).
That being said, it might be possible to gain an enchantment with a similar perk from the first Nornir Chest in the Niflheim maze, or from the randomized stat enchantments in the shop.
How To Get It: This won't require too much effort, but you have to complete a task that's easy to forget about: lighting all of the braziers around the Lake Of Nine. Simply head to each realm tower and interact with one of the braziers on top.
