Mystic Gateway

Three wayward spirits ask for assistance as you explore the Lake of Nine. Light four braziers found on the shores to complete a fourth Favor. A fifth wayward spirit quest becomes available after you complete Sindri’s second quest, “Family Business.” Three of the quests provide an Offering to Týr and a recipe for one piece of Týr’s armor, a rare set of armor. Complete all of these Favors to earn the Unfinished Business Trophy and Enchantment—Týr’s Shard.

Anatomy of Hope

Take a boat north between Njörd’s Oarsmen and Mason’s Channel and park at the beach that sits farther north beyond the gate. Deal with the enemy there, which differs depending on when you visit. Speak to the wayward spirit on the west side to learn of his beloved Gullveig, who lies in pieces scattered around nearby beaches.

OBJECTIVE: Recover Gullveig’s Bones

Three bones must be found and returned to the spirit. The skull and two hands are found on nearby beaches.

• Right Hand (beach left of Alfheim Realm Tower): The first bone sits on a cliff above the small beach situated just left of the Alfheim Realm Tower. Use a Shock Arrow on the Shatter Crystal to clear the obstruction that blocks your climb. The hand is found on the left just after the climb.

• Skull (Forgotten Caverns): On the west side of Lake of Nine, paddle a boat onto the shore of Forgotten Caverns next to Svartalfheim Realm Tower. Explore farther inland, where a trio of Wolves scavenge for food. Climb up the eastern wall, then follow the path to the right until you reach a dead end. The skull rests on the ground to the right.

• Left Hand (Ruins of the Ancient): Paddle onto the northeastern shores of Ruins of the Ancient. A Soul Devourer patrols the beach, though the fight is optional. It won’t attack without provocation. From the dock point, vault over the pillar and move around the rocks on the left to find the hand.

OBJECTIVE: Return Gullveig’s Bones / Speak to the Spirit

Once all bones have been collected, head back to the wayward spirit and speak with him.

OBJECTIVE: Kill Gullveig

With all the bones returned, Gullveig is reanimated and the Revenant Boss immediately attacks. Two Nightmares join her in the fight; eliminate them first with Atreus’ arrows and quick axe throws. Take care of Gullveig in the same manner as other Revenants. Use arrows to remove her shroud and then hit her hard with Leviathan. Due to increased health and improved evasion Skills, she is tougher to take down. Avoid her poison and fissure attacks, and keep up the pressure. Defeat the ghastly creature to complete the Favor, earning XP and an Offering to Týr.

Dead Freight

OBJECTIVE: Kill the Hel-Walker Crews

At Forgotten Caverns, talk to the wayward spirit just ahead to learn of his crews that perished in the Lake of Nine; their bodies continue to walk the beaches as Hel-Walkers. Three groups of Hel-Walkers plague the beaches, and you must defeat them to complete the Favor. The crews are easier to defeat once you have acquired the Blades of Chaos, but they can be killed beforehand.

• Isle of Death: In southwest Lake of Nine, find the island between Niflheim and Asgard Towers and dock on the north side. Head straight ahead into the clearing to find a Hel-Walker crew, including a Hel-Viken and three Hel-Shadows.

• Iron Cove: Paddle a boat to the southeastern beach of Iron Cove, located south of Isle of Death. Take out the second crew, which consists of a Hel-Reaver and two Hel-Reaver Guards.

• Niflheim Tower: Dock the boat at the right elevator of the Niflheim Tower in southwestern Lake of Nine and ride it up. Two Hel-Reavers and Hel-Reaver Guard wait at the top.

Objective: Return to the Spirit

With all three crews taken care of, return to the tradesman spirit at Forgotten Caverns. Let him know that his crews are now at rest to receive the reward.

Hammer Fall

OBJECTIVE: Destroy the Statue of Thor

Paddle two Stone Falls in northeastern Lake of Nine and make your way to the wayward spirit who waits next to the bridge on the upper level. Before the second water drop, you must break the disc that holds up half of the bridge. Otherwise, simply climb up from the lower level.

Talk to the spirit and use the nearby wheel to open the big gate. This gives you access to Veithurgard Pass, which leads to Veithurgard. Take your boat into the pass and dock at the beach, which differs depending on the water level. For full details on Veithurgard Pass, turn to the Lake of Nine Exploration chapter.

Once you’re in the boat in Veithurgard, paddle north when possible and beach at the small island ahead. Two Draugr inhabit the island, so deal with them before looting the chest inside the small cave.

Pull out the axe and aim toward the statue. Chain markings indicate the monument’s weak points, so throw the Leviathan at the following:

• Back of the right calf
• Bottom of the back of the cape
• Right upper arm
• Left shin
• The chain

Move around the statue to get a shot at each location. Once you hit the last one, the statue crumbles to the ground.

OBJECTIVE: Return to the Disciple of Thor

Swipe the Rare Leviathan Hilt—Grip of Tanngiost from the grave site before returning to the spirit at Stone Falls. He’s appreciative, and you receive your reward.

Time Heals All Wounds

OBJECTIVE: Return to the Spirit in Fáfnir’s Storeroom

This Favor becomes available after you find a scroll near the end of Sindri’s second Favor, “Family Business.” It’s from the son of the spirit you met during Sindri’s first Favor, “Fáfnir’s Hoard.” Travel to Fáfnir’s Storeroom through the Mystic Gateway and make your way all the way to the back of the storeroom. Talk to the spirit to complete the quest and earn the XP.

Unfinished Business

OBJECTIVE: Explore the Islands and Light the Braziers

Discover four braziers on the shores of Nine and light them to complete this Favor. Once each is lit, enemies attack, and they must be defeated for you to get credit for that location. The order in which you complete them doesn’t matter, but to get the final reward, make sure you defeat the enemies at each site.

• Cliffs of the Raven: The brazier is located in a clearing at the back of the location. Eliminate the enemies in the area, then have Atreus translate the runes on the brazier. A Viken and a group of Tatzelwurms attack, so deal with them before talking to the spirit who appears next to the brazier.

• Forgotten Caverns: Climb to the top of Forgotten Caverns and then down the chain to the south. Two Wulvers attack, so kill them before lighting the brazier. The flame attracts three Hel-Reavers to the area. Finish them off, then talk to the spirit. The enemies in this area differ if you come before the second water drop—the Wulvers haven’t moved in yet, replaced by a Heavy Draugr. The lit brazier attracts a Dual-Wield Draugr, as well as a group of Hel-Reavers.

• Isle of Death: Make your way to the top level of the island to find the brazier. Light it, kill the group of Hel-Shadows that show up, and then talk to the spirit.

• Iron Cove: Make your way to the southeast portion of Iron Cove. If you’re attempting this Favor after the second water drop, this requires navigating the ship wreckage and destroying the Scorn Poles. Translating the runes causes Nightmares and Reavers to appear, so take them down and talk to the final spirit to complete the Favor.
