–Mimir when seeing the hammer | ||
Durlin's hammer was a forge hammer specifically made during his rebellion he held with Laufey and the dwarves of Niðavellir. It was a symbol of power and resistance from the Aesir's control. According to Durlin, the Aesir took his hammer after their failed coup and buried it under the dwarf statue of Alvíss Stonefoot in the bay. Durlin asks Kratos to retrieve the hammer as it may do the dwarves "some good" seeing it again, Durlin was hoping to raise their spirits once more and show them the they haven't given up completely. When you retrieve the hammer from the chest near the dwarven statue it is referred to as "Hammer of the revolution", the description for the hammer reads "A ceremonial hammer with no practical use. A symbol of the Dwarven resistance to Asgard's rule." Completion of this favor is called "Spirit of rebellion" and awards you a trophy called "Rebel Leader"
