Belt

Thor's Belt, or Megingjörð (Old Norse for "power-Belt"), was crafted by the Nidellvir Dwarfs and is believed to double the strength of the Belt's wearer. According to Myth, it is one of Thor's three main possesions, along with the legendary Mjolnir, Thor's Hammer, and his Iron Gloves Járngreipr. Lara retrieves Megingjord in Mexico after uncovering its whereabouts having found her father's maps underneath her Manor.
