Dawn of Ragnarok Hugr-Rip Explained
Click to enlargeThe Dawn of Ragnarok Hugr-Rip is a device that allows players to take the powers from fallen Muspels and Frost Giants. It is fueled by Hugr, which you can collect from glowing blue Hugr plants, fallen Muspels and Frost Giants, and Hugr Trees, which will fill your metre at the cost of health. The Hugr-Rip will be used to aid traversal, stealth, and combat, and can be especially useful in those higher difficulty areas.
Dawn Of Ragnarok Hugr-Rip Abilities
Click to enlargeThe Dawn of Ragnarok Hugr-Rip offers up five power abilities, however, only two are equipable at any one time. Each ability used will consume one bar of Hugr, and Hugr bars can be extended as you upgrade the device. To pick up the powers, just approach fallen foes and you will notice a symbol representing any one of the powers. You will see a prompt that will then allow you to adopt that ability, and assign it to one of the two spots.
The powers on offer are as follows:
- Power of the Raven - shapeshift into a Raven to reach high surfaces.
- Power of Muspelheim - lava and fire don't inflict damage and can be walked upon. You are disguised as a Muspel
- Power of Rebirth - weapons are set ablaze and ignite enemies, and defeated enemies are resurrected to fight on your side.
- Power of Winter - Deal an additional 30% damage on Muspel Giants, and attacking enemies eventually freezes them, allowing you to shatter them.
- Power of Jotunheim - with your bow you can teleport to World Knots. You are disguised as a Giant.
