The first favor (side quest) that you will get to complete in God of War: Ragnarok is called In Service of Asgard. You will be tasked to shut down three mining rigs that are scattered across the Bay of Bounty area in Svartalfheim
You will be able to spot the mining rigs from afar due to the smoke coming out of their towers. Shutting them down is not challenging but you will encounter various enemies and must solve little puzzles.
Completing the three tasks will reward you with Nidavellir Ore that can be used to craft the Nidavellir armor set.
The following guide will help you shut down the mining rigs in Svartalfheim to complete the In Service of Asgard favor in God of War: Ragnarok.
How to start In Service of Asgard
You will get this favor from Raeb in the Tavern of Nidavellir. First, you will talk to him during the Quest for Tyr chapter of Ragnarok. After the initial conversation, talk to Raeb again to start the favor.
How to complete In Service of Asgard
You have to shut down the following three mining rigs:
How to shut down Modvitnir’s Rig
To reach the Modvitnir’s Rig, you can start from the location shown on the map above. After getting there, use the chain to reach the top of the wooden platform.
There you will find the rig behind the giant wooden wheel. You can interact with the Modvitnir’s Rig to shut it down.
How to shut down Radsvinn’s Rig
After reaching the location on the map above, head east, and in the corner, you will see a wooden structure above. Climb up, and right in front, you will see the Radsvinn’s Rig.
You must take out several enemies before interacting with the rig and shutting it down. Once that rig is shut down, you can move to the final rig for completing In Service of Asgard’s favor.
How to shut down Althjof’s Rig
Finding that rig is relatively easy, but you must do many things before you can shut it down.
You can use the wheel on the right side to move a platform and make way for you to reach the other side where Althjof’s Rig is located.
Collect all the items, destroy the red barrels and kill enemies to earn many rewards from here. After that, you must climb the wooden structure on the left side of the wheel you rotate at the start.
From there, head straight towards the rig using different grapple points. It will take you directly to the third and final rig. Interact with it to shut it down.
