God of War Ragnarok has plenty of powerful pieces of gear. A special piece of gear that players will definitely want to keep an eye out for is the Shatter Star Shield.

Once here, they are on the path to obtaining the Shield.

Once players encounter purple mist for the first time, they will shortly come across the location shown in the image above. Here, players should use the Blades of Chaos to burn away the purple branches and a chain will fall down, allowing Kratos to climb up to the higher ledge. Watch out for the exploding plant on the right, as it can damage Kratos as he climbs up the chain.

Once at the top, the players should see an area on a lower section (shown above) filled with purple mist and a Legendary Chest. To clear this area, players need to throw Kratos' Leviathan Axe at the mist's source (circled in the picture above) which will cause the harmful mist to disappear. This will allow Kratos to jump down and open the chest containing the Shield. It is important to note that if the Leviathan Axe is recalled while in the pit, the mist will reappear and kill Kratos, so wait until he safely returns to the upper platform before regaining the Axe.
