mystical heritage
The prerequisite to start this hidden quest is to possess the mysterious relic: Mystical Legacy. You may already own it, in which case you'll probably be happy to finally find out what it's for.
For those who don't have it, here's how to get it. To start, you need the Draupnir Spear , which requires advancing far enough into the main story. This also means that you will not be able to start the quest the first time you pass near the relic, or the petrified trolls. Use the spear on a rock with a weak point, south of the Temple of Tyr, in Midgard. Here is its position on the map.

There are 3 places to visit in total, in which there are petrified trolls in the kingdoms. We advise you to follow the order listed below, which also indicates the progression in terms of power and difficulty.

Once near a statue, equip then use the Mystical Legacy relic with L1 + Circle .
Midgard
At the Abandoned Outpost , southwest of the Temple of Tyr, after a very long time. Climb the chain to reach the forge, then take the air passage, until you reach the statue.
Alfheim
Travel to Forbidden Sands , in the northwest section of the area, after stopping the sandstorm. Climb the curb to reach a terrace with the troll.
Vanaheim
The last place to visit is at Naotun Gardens , along the rivers to the west of the area. These trolls are less remarkable, since they blend into the background a bit.

Steinbjörn's Armor Set
Using Sleep Stones, you can craft three excellent pieces of equipment. The breastplate in particular is notable, since it has by far the best defense in the game, and above all, it allows you to recover part of your life when attacking, after taking damage. Bloodborne fans will appreciate! It is considered by many to be the best armor in the game. The other pieces give you chances to stun enemies after taking damage, which is also interesting.
