Iron Cove

High Water: There’s only one area of the beach accessible at this point. Disembark at the east dock to find another brazier for the “Unfinished Business” Favor.

Low Water: Ride the zip line off the south side of Isle of Death to reach the northern portion of Iron Cove. Detonate the explosive ahead to clear out the Scorn Pole and scale the cliff.

Knock down the lit lantern that hangs from the mast ahead to clear a path to the ship wreckage. A lone Wulver attacks, so deal with it before climbing onto the front of the ship to the left. Turn around and throw your axe at another red jar next to the rear of the ship. Climb onto the ship’s stern and look over the right side to find a pair of explosive jars. Hit them to reveal a coffin.

Jump across to the bow and look right, where three runes are lit up above a runic door; take note of the three letters. Now turn around and spot a couple more explosives below. Detonate them to free up one of three rune towers around the area. By hitting the attached paddles, you can rotate through a series of runes. The three towers need to match the three runes above the door.

Runic Door

• Return to the stern and look northwest to spot another rune tower. Throw your axe at the right paddle one time to change the rune to a thorn (the right rune in our image).
• Drop to the ground and loot the coffin you freed. Turn southeast and fling the axe at the paddle to change the rune to a sowilo (the left rune in our image).
• Head west and scale the wall to reach the runic door and a whole lot of poison being spewed out of a few Scorn Poles. First, turn around and spot the third rune tower to the east. Hit the paddles to change the rune to a birch (the middle rune in our image).
• Face the runic door, use your axe to drop an explosive onto the left pole, and detonate a red jar that sits next to the right pole. A third Scorn Pole is farther to the left, so hit the nearby jar to rid the area of the nuisance. Watch out for the Poison Wolves that emerge from the destruction.
• Open the door to find a pile of rock and explosive red jars. Step back and toss the axe at one to clear the room. Now loot the Legendary Chest (Axe Runic Attack—Mists of Helheim and Resource—Pristine Ore of the Realm).

Head northeast to reach the original beach of Iron Cove that was accessible before the second water drop. A brazier (“Unfinished Business”) is the only notable item, though a new coffin has been revealed next to the high-water dock. Climb off the end of the dock, shimmy to the right, and drop down. Loot the resources before moving on.

New Southern Beach

Turn left instead of climbing to the runic door to find a chest on the right ledge. Detonate the red jar to clear the path down to a new beach, which is also accessible by boat. A Treasure Map sits on the right as you approach the main shore.

Two coffins are buried under rock next to explosive red jars, which can be detonated with your axe. Be careful, though, as a sleeping Fire Ancient will take notice.

New Western Beach

A separate western beach is now available, where a Realm Tear is found just past a pair of Poison Wolves.
