Smoldering Embers can only be acquired in Muspelheim. These can only be earned in its various combat trials, each initiated by the three giant swords - respectively in their own area and marked with F, R, and H runes.

However, you can't get Smoldering Embers from the get-go. First, you need to go to each area and take on the two combat trials it initially has available, making six trials to beat in total. Once you beat the first six trials, you then must go to the centre area where its Nornir Chest is now glowing.

Once you've interacted with the chest, you'll have unlocked Surtr's Hidden Trials. These add a third harder trial to each F, R, and H rune combat area. Complete these challenges, along with the previous six already available, and you will now be able to start earning Smoldering Embers.

You can take on these trials an infinite number of times, so you can farm Smolder Embers as much as you wish.

In fact, completing all fifteen trials, including the final trials initiated by interacting with the new giant sword taking the place of the Nornir Chest in the centre, will require you to replay some trials anyway. So, if you are trying to get the Trials by Fire trophy, it goes hand in hand hunting for Smoldering Embers in God of War Ragnarok

That is all you need to know on how to get Smoldering Embers in God of War Ragnarok. Whilst you're playing, check out what comes with the God of War Ragnarok PS5 upgrade. If you're looking for more challenges, here are all the Berserker Gravestone locations
