Cliffs of the Raven

High Water: Paddle a boat southeast from Vanaheim Tower through the nearest opening and continue back to the beach. A Troll corpse stretches across much of the beach; find a treasure behind its legs. A brazier sits on the right as part of the “Unfinished Business” Favor.

Look for a small boarded-up hole on the northeast cliff and bust it open with your axe. Give Atreus a boost into the opening and wait for him to drop the chain. Climb up and loot the Cipher Chest (Muspelheim Language Cipher). Grab the Artifact just northeast of there before returning to your boat.

Völunder Chasm

Paddle back out to the lake, then head east to find Völunder Chasm. Follow this waterway back to Völunder Mines, your destination for Brok’s first Favor, “Second Hand Soul.”

Low Water: Find the low-water beach just west of Vanaheim Tower. Move up the left path to a gate, use the chain to open the gate, and throw your axe through the three pods. Drop the gate and return to the boat. Head right and hit the single pod with your axe before climbing the chain.

Follow the left trail and climb up two levels. Turn south and leap across the gap. Step toward the Nornir Chest and take note of the three runes displayed on the front. Turn left to spot a couple more pods, throw the axe through them, and hop over to the wall. Climb up to find one of the runes, but the Winds of Hel energy is required.

Jump over a gap to the southeast, climb the chain ahead, and loot the chest. Hop over another gap and kick the chain off the right side.

Previously Available

Go left, loot the chest, and climb down another chain to reach the beach that was available before the second water drop. This time, Dark Elves are there to greet you, so kill them.

If you haven’t been here yet, refer to the high-water section for more information about a treasure, brazier, Muspelheim Language Cipher, and Artifact.

Nornir Chest

Run north until you find the Winds of Hel energy to the left. This is where you raised the gate and destroyed the three pods at the start of this location. Three traps sit on the plateaus around the Nornir Chest, and they’re connected to rotating runes. They must be set to the correct runes using the Blades of Chaos and Winds of Hel. These can be done in any order; the following is one way to complete this task:

1. Grab the Winds of Hel with your Blades of Chaos, move back up the path a few steps, and transfer the energy to a trap on the right wall.
2. Move through the new opening and climb the wall to the southwest. Run north past the Nornir Chest, jump to the climbable wall, and proceed to the top. Leap over the gap to your right, approach the left edge, and look back to spot the Winds of Hel.
3. Grab the energy, return to the previous area, and place it into the trap on the right. Let it rotate through two runes (a thorn—looks like a triangle on a vertical line) and then pull it back out.

   

4. Turn south and throw the energy into another trap. Climb down the nearby ledge and jump over to the Nornir Chest.
5. Grab the Winds of Hel, move up the hill to the right, and deposit it into the second rune trap. Let it rotate through two runes (rotated hagalaz—looks like an N on its back) and pull the energy back out.
6. Throw the Winds of Hel back into the central trap and climb the chain to the south. Move to the left edge and collect the energy. Turn around and place it into the third rune trap. Let it rotate through two runes (ride—looks like the letter R) before grabbing the energy with your Blades and transferring it into the central trap.

Loot the Nornir Chest. Drop to the lower level and find the exit blocked by a tentacle. Throw the axe through the two pods and raise the gate.

Now, go back up the hill and collect the Winds of Hel one last time at this location. Sprint downhill, drop off the ledge, and transfer the energy into the trap on the door to reveal a Legendary Chest.
