Aurvangar Wetlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Aurvangar Wetlands is the first real area you\u2019ll be able to explore in God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em>. When you first get to Svartalfheim with Atreus and Mimir, you\u2019ll find yourself on a small island with a boat nearby. You\u2019ll use the boat to get from island to island and eventually make your way to the Dwarven city of Nidavellir.<\/p>\n

When you leave the realm gate, before you get into the boat, walk to your left. You\u2019ll find a small campsite. Look immediately to the right of the tents, past the crooked tree, and you\u2019ll see the Odin\u2019s Raven sitting on a large rock formation. Throw your ax at it.<\/p>\n

The first Artifact \u2014 a part of the Things Left Behind collection \u2014 is on the first island in the Aurvangar Wetlands, just before the water wheel. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

When you get out on the island, freeze the geyser with your ax and cross over to the other side. Turn around, recall your ax, and freeze the geyser next to the one you just crossed. Behind it, you\u2019ll see a grapple point for your blades. Jump up there and walk over to the dead dwarf. Pick up the Artifact sitting next to him. <\/p>\n

Nornir Chest 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first Nornir Chest is on the same island as the Artifact above \u2014 just before the water wheel in the Aurvangar Wetlands.<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Use your ax to freeze the geyser and jump across to the other side. Turn right and jump across a small river to reach the chest. Like all Nornir Chests, whether you get a Horn of Blood Mead or an Idunn Apple depends on the previous Nornir Chest you opened. (The items always alternate). Assuming this is your first chest, you\u2019ll get an Idunn Apple and increase your health. <\/p>\n

But first you\u2019ll need to break the three Nornir Seals to unlock the chest. We\u2019ve listed them below.<\/p>\n

Seal 1<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

You\u2019ll find Seal 1 on the elevated platform where you found the first Things Left Behind artifact above. Once on the raised platform, look for a large tree. The Seal is sitting right next to it. Break it. <\/p>\n

Seal 2 and Seal 3<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Both Seal 2 and Seal 3 are clearly visible when standing next to the Nornir chest. Break the Seals in either order \u2014 they\u2019ll be on your right and your left if you\u2019re looking at the chest \u2014 and the lock will open. <\/p>\n

Nornir chest 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Past the loading bridge and the gate puzzle in the Aurvangar Wetlands, you\u2019ll come to the bend in the river. The main story wants you to go right, but there\u2019s a secret cave if you go to the left. Slide the boat under the cave and you\u2019ll come across another island section filled with goodies, including this area\u2019s second Nornir Chest.<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/source><\/picture>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Once you dock the boat, the chest will be right ahead of you, next to the collapsed and broken gate. Instead of Seals you\u2019ll need to break, this Nornir Chest requires you to rotate three Seal switches to match the runes displayed on the chest. <\/p>\n

You needn\u2019t trouble yourself with the proper names of the runes; just find Seals switches that match these symbols left to right: the right-sided flag, the capital B, and the capital N.<\/p>\n

Switch 1<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Turn right from the Nornir Chest and you\u2019ll see a geyser. Freeze it with your ax. Behind the geyser will be a switch. You won\u2019t be able to see the switch and move it at the same time. So unfreeze the geyser, hit the switch, and then freeze it again to make sure it\u2019s the correct symbol. Repeat this method until it displays the right-sided flag rune. <\/p>\n

Switch 2<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Around the corner from the first geyser switch, walk until you reach an edge, but don\u2019t jump down. Look to your left and you\u2019ll see the switch. Hit the switch with your ax until you get the rune that looks like a capital B. <\/p>\n

Switch 3<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/source><\/picture>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Image: Santa Monica Studio\/Sony Interactive Entertainment via Polygon<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Back at the Nornir Chest, take a left instead of a right and grapple up onto the cliff, which overlooks the river you\u2019ve been exploring for the past hour. Turn around and look in the direction of the first switch. You\u2019ll see the third and final switch sitting on a large rock formation.<\/p>\n

Hit the switch until it reaches the rune that looks like a capital N. If you did these switches in the order we\u2019ve listed here, you should be able to unlock the Nornir Chest. <\/p>\n

Make your way to the end of the Aurvangar Wetlands until you reach the gate. Park your boat and puzzle your way through opening the first side of the gate. Jump across the bridge and work through the puzzle where you need to use the large metal block as an elevator. When you make it to the top of the second dock, where the final gate chain is, stop. <\/p>\n

Before pulling on the chain to progress the story, walk forward immediately from where you used the elevator to reach a wooden table. Grab your first book of Kvasir\u2019s Poems and open the gate.<\/p>\n

\n

Nidavellir<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nidavellir is the hometown of the dwarves, and it\u2019s where you\u2019ll be able to progress your quest a bit further. You\u2019ll also gain the Sonic arrows here for Atreus, which will help you solve some new puzzles and get some new collectibles. <\/p>\n

\n

Modvitnir\u2019s Rig<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the Bay of Bounty \u2014 the lake in the northern part of Svartalfheim, and a mostly optional region packed with loot to find \u2014 Modvitnir\u2019s Rig is the first of the three rig locations you\u2019ll be able to access. Just hang a left once you\u2019ve passed the exit for the main story mission and you\u2019ll find it. <\/p>\n

Make your way up to the landing by climbing the tower. You\u2019ll see the Legendary Chest sitting on the edge, overlooking the crane you\u2019ll need to use to reach the rest of this area. Open it for the first half of the Muspelheim seed, which you\u2019ll eventually use to reach the realm of the Fire Giants. (In the previous game, Muspelheim was the location for a combat arena.) Unfortunately, you won\u2019t be able to get the second half of the seed for a very, very<\/em> long time. <\/p>\n

\n

Dragon Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Immediately after you enter the Bay of Bounty \u2014 right after leaving Nidavellir via boat \u2014 hang a right to reach Dragon Beach. This one is hard to miss, as it\u2019s got both a sweet dragon statue and a giant, gnarly dragon skeleton surrounding it. <\/p>\n

Nornir Chest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

When you reach Dragon Beach, kill the enemies and make your way under the giant bridge. Here you\u2019ll find the Nornir Chest. This Nornir chest is a physical Seal chest, meaning you\u2019ll need to find and break three little statues to get it open.<\/p>\n

Seal 1<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Between the two landing zones for Dragon Beach, you\u2019ll see a geyser next to a crane. You can freeze the geyser with your ax to reveal the Seal behind it. Or, since you already know it\u2019s there, just chuck your ax into the water and you\u2019ll destroy the first Seal.<\/p>\n

Seal 2<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Turn around after Seal 1 and look at the giant statue. Walk around until you can see behind its tail. If you look closely, you\u2019ll be able to see the statue hiding in the grass. If you need a better look, you can walk around the other side of the statue and freeze a geyser to see where it\u2019s at. Just know that you can\u2019t break the Seal from that position.<\/p>\n

Seal 3<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

The Watchtower<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Watchtower is one of two sections in the middle island of the Bay of Bounty, before you get into the largest section. Park your boat on the south side of the island and walk forward until you meet Sindri. Take a left at the Mystic Gateway, break the explosive pot, and climb the wall to reach The Watchtower.<\/p>\n

Draugr Hole<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Defeat the monster that comes out of the Draugr Hole to get some key resources, including part of a Chaos Flame, which you\u2019ll eventually be able to use to upgrade your Blades of Chaos. You\u2019ll also get the Cursed Empress Handles for your Blades of Chaos if this is your first Draugr Hole. <\/p>\n

---

\n

Radsvinn\u2019s Rig<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the other side of The Watchtower island is Radsvinn\u2019s Rig. From Sindri\u2019s shop, turn east and you\u2019ll come across the area. If you\u2019re lost, just look for the giant smokestack. <\/p>\n

Clear the enemies out of Radsvinn\u2019s Rig and then look to the left side of the arena. Overlooking the main area of the Bay of Bounty, you\u2019ll see a Nornir Chest. This chest requires you to light three braziers, which are scattered around this area. <\/p>\n

Lyngbakr Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lyngbakr Island is much more than it initially seems, and houses one of the game\u2019s coolest side quests. Mimir will prompt you to go here if you investigate the gate in The Watchtower area. <\/p>\n

As soon as you land on Alberich Island, you\u2019ll see the Nornir Chest sitting to your right. This is a bell chest, and you\u2019ll need to make sure all three bells are ringing at the same time in order to unlock the Seals.<\/p>\n

The third and final bell is to the right of the second. You\u2019ll need to hit the switch twice with your ax to raise the bell up high enough. Once it\u2019s in position, use the Leviathan Axe to ring the final bell. Once all three are ringing at once, open the chest for your reward.<\/p>\n

The Forge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After you\u2019ve spoken to Durlin and killed some baddies, you\u2019ll jump aboard a train and find yourself at The Forge, on the peak of the mountain. This is just a short stop, however; you\u2019ll be coming back here much later in the game for a more significant quest. <\/p>\n

\n

Jarnsmida Pitmines<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Jarnsmida Pitmines is the giant, gray detour you\u2019ll end up taking when your train gets derailed by a bunch of enemies. Luckily for you, there are a lot of goodies to discover here. Just be warned that if you miss anything here you won\u2019t be able to come back until much later in the game, so double-check to make you\u2019ve caught it all before leaving. <\/p>\n

Return across the gap and use your ax to freeze the water above you, then light the brazier that sits under where the water usually flows. (Warning: If you recall your ax before you\u2019ve broken all three Seals, the water will put this brazier out.)<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re staring at the brazier, turn left and walk up to the wall. Interact with the runes here to get the \u201cThe Pit-Mine\u201d lore entry.<\/p>\n

After you meet up with Sindri, before you go into the mine, take the right path away from the cave entrance. Use the Blades of Chaos to pull the water spout toward you, which will activate a massive crane carrying a large stone block. Climb aboard the block by walking back to the path you were on before you met Sindri. Use the Leviathan Axe to freeze the water spout. The crane will then carry you to the new area.<\/p>\n

The Applecore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Applecore is the final destination in your quest for Tyr, and it\u2019s a relatively linear section through a large mine. While it\u2019s not the most aesthetically interesting area in the game, it\u2019s packed with goodies and vexing puzzles. As with The Forge and the Pitmines, once you leave The Applecore, you won\u2019t be able to return until later in the game. So make sure you get everything you want before rescuing Tyr.<\/p>\n

From Sindri, follow the path until you reach a boarded up shaft with the Sonic arrow shield on it. Break the wood and you\u2019ll reveal a wall with runes on it. Read it to get the \u201cThe Vault\u201d lore entry.<\/p>\n

Continue following the path until you jump over a small water trough. You\u2019ll be able to go left or right. Left leads to the main path, so go right instead. <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find another shaft covered in wooden planks. Destroy the planks and jump down to reach a lore pillar. Read it to get the \u201cCooperation\u201d lore entry. <\/p>\n

When you reach the water puzzle with the two wheels, the crane, and the elevator, take the right path to a new area instead of the left toward the puzzle. (You\u2019ll need to drop down and destroy a flaming barrel first to open the right path.)<\/p>\n

After crawling under the barricade, you\u2019ll need to kill a group of enemies. Take them out and then walk through the large double doors. You won\u2019t be able to do much here yet, but follow the path until you reach what is \u2014 for now \u2014 a dead end. Nearby you\u2019ll find another Things Left Behind Artifact.<\/p>\n

Continue along the main path, through the puzzle, until you need to destroy some ore and grapple over a ledge. After you\u2019ve done that, keep straight rather than going down the right path.<\/p>\n

Eventually you\u2019ll reach a barred iron gate, which is a shortcut we\u2019ll open a bit later. From the gate, turn left and jump down into the lower area. Destroy a pile of Sonic ore in front of you and walk forward to grab the final artifact in the Things Left Behind collection off of the barrel you see above. <\/p>\n

Immediately behind the Draugr Hole, in the same room, you\u2019ll find a Legendary Chest. Open it to get a new attachment for your Leviathan Axe.<\/p>\n

At the door, turn to your left and you\u2019ll see a pathway back to where you were (this is how you can unlock the gate we mentioned earlier). To the left of this path you\u2019ll see one of Odin\u2019s Ravens perched on a piece of wood. Smash it with your ax. <\/p>\n

Sverd Sands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sverd Sands is an island just outside of The Applecore, and it houses a hand-crank ferry to take Atreus, Kratos, Mimir, and Tyr back to the Gateway.<\/p>\n

Your first visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll walk in here with Tyr, and may notice that there\u2019s an \u201cundiscovered\u201d collectible here. However, you won\u2019t be able to access it until the very end of the game \u2014 one of the final Favors in God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em> \u2014 so don\u2019t even bother trying to track it down. Feel free to follow Tyr back to the Realm Between and leave Svartalfheim for now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
