Rewards known as Permanent Favors in 's DLC all provide Odin with different buffs you can get for your next run. The rogue-like adventure throughout Niflheim has different regions that all offer a favor for you to earn. The powers granted by these permanent boons are limited, so you'll have to use them wisely as you continue to try and resurrect Odin's son.
