Find Shelter

In this new quest, Atreus will find himself in Midgard after having an argument with his father. You will face your first opponent right away, and it is best to keep your distance.

You will encounter a Wight after passing a fallen tree. For detailed instructions on how to deal with this opponent, please refer to the FAQ section on \’How to defeat Wights?\’ Below are the summarized steps:

How to defeat Wights?

1. Attack with standard arrows as runic arrows can be deflected.
2. Interrupt blue attacks by attacking with your bow (2xL1 after getting close to the monster).
3. Dodge ranged attacks fired by the Wight.
4. Once the Wight is defeated, finish off the Wisps with special arrows.

Investigate Freya\’s Abandoned House

Along the way, you will face more standard opponents and have to walk on a narrow edge. You will reach Sanctuary Grove.

Examine the shutter and approach Chaurli, a huge creature blocking access to Freya\’s home. After receiving the task of starting a fire, check your journal.

Follow Odin\’s Raven

You will enter Asgard and explore the Plains of Ida. Follow the only available path to reach Hrimthur\’s Wall.

During your trek, you will encounter small groups of monsters. It is safer to attack them from a distance and use Atreus\’ special attacks. You will also encounter more Wisps – stun them with special arrows and then rely on standard attacks.

A wall of bushes will block your way – unlocking the way forward involves a simple puzzle. Fire Sigil Arrows and place seals next to each other beginning from the fire and ending at the bushes. Correctly placed seals will link and transfer the fire to the bushes, unlocking the way forward.

Continue the trek and soon you will meet Skjoldr.

Climb the Wall

You are now facing a long climb to the top of Hrimthur\’s Wall. Rotate the camera and locate the next places Atreus can jump to (by pressing Circle).

In one of the ledges, you will come across a Wight and some Wisps. It is important to use the appropriate arrows, regular ones to weaken the Wight and special ones to stun and destroy the Wisps. Since the arena is small, it is advisable to use bow attacks to weaken the Wight. Once the area is clear, hit the green object with the sonic arrow to lower a chain. Grab it and continue climbing. Atreus should enter the caves and destroy the Wisps while destroying encountered totems quickly with any attack. You will find hanging cargo and your task is to destroy the hooks holding them. The first hook is easy to locate, while the second one becomes visible as you follow the path laid out by the shelves on the left. Use sonic arrows for this task. Place yourself next to the first cargo and interact with the rope to ascend. The final part of the climb involves jumping to the next ledges and moving sideways until you reach the summit where you will encounter Heimdall. Follow Heimdall to reach Gladsheim, and then hop on the back of the beast he rides to get to The Great Lodge. Prove your skills in battle by using all you have, dodge often, and prevent the enemies from placing bifrost status. You will then face Heimdall, but you cannot hit him as he knows all your moves in advance. Let yourself be hit to activate a cut-scene depicting Odin\’s arrival. With Odin, you will visit various places and ultimately return to The Great Lodge where Atreus will be assigned a room. Check the closet for new equipment such as the Aesir Uniform, Aesir Bow, and Runic Recharge accessory, which can be crafted and upgraded here. The closet also serves as a crafting interface, allowing weapon upgrades and buying consumables. Follow Odin to reach The Rift and begin the new mission, Into The Fire.
