Elevators

Right available once used from top, left accessible fromIsle of Death

High Water: Asgard Tower is totally unavailable until the water drops a second time.

Low Water: Only the right elevator is accessible from the water, but it begins in the up position with the recall switch disabled. You must access the tower from Isle of Death. Make your way up to the dock on the northwest side of the island and turn toward the movable platforms that hang from the cranes.

Navigate the Platforms

Each platform has a wheel on top that rotates as you hit the attached paddles. Hit the left paddle and the platform lowers, while the right raises it. You want to get the next platform lower than Kratos so that you can slide down the rope to that platform. A lever on each platform raises it back to its top position.

  1. Lower the first platform and slide down to it. Interact with the lever to return to the up position.
  2. Face northwest toward the second platform and slide down the rope to reach it. Use the lever to raise the platform, and then look northeast to the third.
  3. Hit the left paddle to lower the platform below your position, then slide down to it. Use the lever to raise it back up before sliding to the cliff ahead.

Follow the trail around to the tower’s left elevator and ride it up. A lone Level 7 Traveler kneels as he prepares his sword; get his attention with your axe to begin a fight. Once you’re done with the tower, ride the right elevator down to the dock, making this location accessible by boat.
