To break the curse, you’ll need to find a Motsognir’s Clarity rune and equip it in an empty socket. This will turn the item into a piece of the Hreidmar’s Blessing Set, which comes with its own unique perks if you have all five armour pieces equipped. It also nullifies any object’s curse while the rune remains in contact.

For example, If you put the rune in the cloak it becomes Hreidmar’s Blessed Cloak, where critical hits heal you and rations replenish less health, and you’ll damage nearby enemies when you heal using rations.
