OBJECTIVE: Return to the Realm Travel Room
There’s a boat down at the Northern Dock, but there’s also a much faster way back to the Realm Travel Room. Head down the slope to the dock and use the Mystic Gateway to return to Brok’s Shop in the temple. Then enter the Realm Travel Room. Use the travel table to lock in Jötunheim. Atreus automatically takes Mimir’s head and uses it to transfer the energy into the door.
The door opens, revealing a staircase. But as they begin to climb, Mimir asks to be left behind, leaving Kratos and Atreus to their task alone. Brok and Sindri arrive to see them off, and agree to keep Mimir safe.
OBJECTIVE: Find Jötunheim’s Highest Peak
Once control returns, climb the stairs to the top, where Atreus points out the highest Summit just ahead. Cross the bridge and enter the strange museum-like cavern at the mountaintop.
Examine the various statues and rune-covered walls as you follow the main path through the place.
When you reach the opening that leads out of the cave, you trigger a cinematic: Atreus uncovers the reason for the Journey.
OBJECTIVE: Find Jötunheim’s Highest Peak
After the scene, take some time to reexamine the wall’s story before you step outside. Then climb the ledges, following the familiar yellow markings, until you reach the vista point.
