Odin: Valhalla Rising – How to Forge Gungnir and Conquer Fenrir in Midgard’s Rift
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to unlock, forge, and wield Gungnir—then take down the monstrous Fenrir in a climactic battle.
Part 1: Unlocking the Gungnir Questline
To begin the process of forging Gungnir, you must first unlock the quest "The Odin's Relic", which becomes available once you reach level 65 and have completed the Midgard Rift Awakening questline.
Requirements:
Level 65+
Completed “Call of the Einherjar” main quest
500+ Gear Score
Access to Midgard’s Rift: Inner Sanctum
Speak to Eira the Seeress at Gjallarhorn Watchpost, who will send you to collect pieces of Odin’s lost weapon scattered across Rift-torn zones.
Part 2: Collecting Gungnir’s Relics
To forge Gungnir, you need to gather four key relics:
1. Fragment of Purpose (Jotun's Hollow)
Dropped by the Rift-Warped Jotun Warlord.
5% drop chance – best farmed in parties.
Use Holy-based AoE to clear minions quickly.
2. Essence of Aesir Fire (Flaming Cradle)
Hidden in a fire-locked vault.
Requires Fire Resistance Elixir to enter.
Solve a torch-lighting puzzle to unlock the vault.
3. Echo of Allfather’s Oath (Runestone Grove)
Obtained from completing the trial "Oathbound Echoes."
This is a solo instance with multiple wave-defense stages.
Equip regeneration runes and lifesteal accessories.
4. Binding Thread of Fate (Fenrir’s Howl)
Only accessible after weakening Fenrir once.
Drops from Fenrir’s Shadow during the first encounter.
Must be caught with the Threadcatcher item (crafted with Midgard Fibers + Riftsteel).
Once all relics are gathered, return to Eira and use the Allfather’s Anvil in the Hall of Fractured Fates.
Part 3: Forging Gungnir
Forging Gungnir is not just about gathering relics—it’s a crafting ritual with high stakes. You’ll need additional materials:
Crafting Materials:
100x Lunarsteel Ingots – Smelted from ores found only in Moonlit Canyons.
10x Heartwood Branches – Rare drops from Rift-entwined Eldertrees.
3x Echo Crystals – Farmed from Rift anomalies during world events.
Final Step: Odin’s Blessing
Once materials are assembled, perform the Blessing Ritual during a Celestial Alignment (occurs every 48 hours).
Party must defeat 3 waves of Rift entities to power the ritual.
If interrupted, you lose progress and must wait for the next Alignment.
Result:
You receive Gungnir, Spear of Allfather — a Mythic-tier weapon with innate Piercing Wind, True Strike, and a 10% chance to ignore armor entirely.
Part 4: Preparing to Face Fenrir
Now wielding Gungnir, your next task is to defeat Fenrir, the legendary wolf and guardian of Midgard’s Rift. This fight is unlike any standard boss and requires strategy, coordination, and the right build.
Fenrir Fight Requirements:
Recommended Level: 70+
Party Size: 5–8
Minimum Gear Score: 600
Raid Entry Item: Sigil of the Bound Wolf (crafted or earned from daily rift completions)
Recommended Team Composition:
1 Tank – High resistances and threat generation.
2 Healers – One AoE and one single-target focused.
3+ DPS – At least one should use Gungnir for maximum effect.
Part 5: Fenrir Boss Mechanics
Phase 1: Shadow Howl
Fenrir summons Shadow Pups. Kill them quickly or they self-destruct.
Use AoE CC to control the flow—don’t get overwhelmed.
Phase 2: Moonfang Charge
Fenrir charges a random player with increasing speed.
Use Stagger skills or terrain pillars to interrupt.
Gungnir’s “True Strike” passive is highly effective here.
Phase 3: Eclipse Devour
At 25% HP, Fenrir devours the moonlight, plunging the battlefield into darkness.
Visibility drops and DOT damage is applied.
Only Gungnir’s glow allows you to see Fenrir clearly—assign the wielder to act as visual anchor.
Final Stand:
Fenrir enters a rage phase, ignoring aggro and randomly leaping between targets.
Keep moving, kite carefully, and burn cooldowns to finish him.
Rewards from Conquering Fenrir
Defeating Fenrir not only completes the Gungnir questline but also grants powerful loot and achievements.
Loot Table Highlights:
Fang of the Eclipse (Mythic dagger with bleed effects)
Fenrir’s Hide Cloak (+Corruption Resist & Movement Speed)
Howl Sigil (set bonus item for Beastslayer builds)
Echo Crystal Fragments (used for further legendary crafting)
Title Unlocked:
“Breaker of Bonds” – A prestige title shown in PvP and raid lobbies.
Final Tips
Use Rune Imbuements that increase True Damage or grant Night Vision during the Eclipse phase.
Gungnir’s effectiveness against Fenrir is unique—its bonus against corrupted beasts scales with your level.
Communicate with your team—especially during Eclipse Devour.
Conclusion
Forging Gungnir and conquering Fenrir in Odin: Valhalla Rising is a pinnacle experience—blending lore, mechanics, and buy Odin Diamonds challenge into one epic journey. With preparation, persistence, and a well-balanced party, you can claim the Allfather’s legacy and carve your name into the mythos of Midgard.
May your spear strike true and your resolve never falter.
