The Bifröst was a rainbow bridge that connects Asgard with Midgard. It was destroyed during the events of Ragnarök, which resulted in the destruction of Asgard.
In Norse mythology, Bifröst ( or sometimes Bilröst or Bivrost) is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard, the realm of the gods. The bridge is attested as Bilröst in the Poetic Edda; compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and as Bifröst in the Prose Edda; written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and in the poetry of skalds. Both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda alternately refer to the bridge as Ásbrú (Old Norse "Æsir's bridge").
According to the Prose Edda, the bridge ends in heaven at Himinbjörg, the residence of the god Heimdallr, who guards it from the jötnar. The bridge's destruction during Ragnarök by the forces of Muspell is foretold. Scholars have proposed that the bridge may have originally represented the Milky Way and have noted parallels between the bridge and another bridge in Norse mythology, Gjallarbrú.
Items related to the Bifröst[]
Bifröst lamp
There is a relic named after the Bifröst called the Bifröst lamp, which can be used as a key to travel between the Nine Realms. In order to properly work, the Bifröst needs to be imbued with the light of Alfheim. The lamp is destroyed in God of War Ragnarok, as Brok and Sindri use its light to modify the Mystic Gateway, thus making realm travel easier.
There is a special form of bifrost crystal the Jotnar gifted to those they trust, a pair of magic eyes. These eyes functions best as a pair and capable of being used to project images and a replacement for travel crystals, as it can refract the energy like a travel crystal, although one said that such use leave the eyes-holder feeling unpleasant.
Powers of the Bifröst[]
Valkyries are especially proficient in using the Bifröst, allowing them to summon weapons and travel the realms without the use of Týr's temple.[1]
Similarly, there is a special energy called Bifröst energy, which was imbued into the weapons of the Einherjar. They also used that energy as their shields. This energy acts as a status effect, represented by part of the afflicted's health bar turning blue. If hit by an attack, the Bifröst energy "detonates", dealing additional damage equal to the blue portion of the health bar. Bifröst energy decays over time, or instantly when detonated. Kratos can inflict Bifröst by stealing it from an enemy with the Draupnir Spear, or by utilising the relics Glaive of Dødher or Huldra Project #9, and Freya can apply it with the Asgardian sword. Heimdall is also shown to be really proficient on using and mastering Bifröst energy to the point that he can regenerate an arm out of the energy itself. Odin can also use Bifröst - particularly imbuing the energy on his Gungnir to make the spear even deadlier.
Trivia[]
The Bifröst word it's more pronounce as "By-frost"/"Bi-frost" as commonly seen the Norse Gods as they pronounce, also in other media, while the Berserkers during boss battle, the way pronounce is "Bee-frost" instead of "Bi-frost".
