Follow Mimirs instructions to the chisel
Use the elevator to go down. Enter the boat. Head towards the marker - you reach a gate. Dock on the nearby beach and open the gate.
Boat to the shore - a new enemy awaits, called Wulver. These foes are strong, resistant (they aren't harmed by arrows) and they use powerful attacks. Be careful while you are facing them. Try to fight with one at a time.
Shoot at the red crystal on the yard and move the ring to the right - open another red chest and then move the ring to the left. This reveals a new passage.
Inside, you can find a room that is identical to the hidden chambers (you can unlock them later). Ignore it. Go up and open the red chest. Climb the chain up.
Retrieve a piece of the chisel
More Wulvers await - defeat them and explore the area. You can find a lot of items and, e.g. you can open a red chest or close a rift.
Another red chest is hidden behind the grates - find three runes.
Go towards the giant's head. Defeat more enemies - an Ogre is among them. This is a more challenging fight - remember that you can use rage.
Talk to Sindri
Go up the chain and meet with Sindri. The dwarf will upgrade Leviathan. He also gives you a favour that can be completed in your free time.
Find a way to the hammer
Aim at the red crystals on the giant's pigtails to destroy the stones. Jump to the other side and run forward.
Defeating the Traveller - mini-boss
Combat tactics during duels with Travellers (more of them will appear later in the game) have also been described on the First Traveller page in the Bosses chapter.
You reach a door - open it and face a Traveller (a new and powerful enemy). He is armored and rather strong - one swing of his sword can take you a lot of health. Also, this enemy has a shield on his back which blocks attacks. Use counters and attack the enemy when you get a chance.
Move the stone block to the middle of the room, rotate the wooden sign and climb on it. Open the chest and then jump down.
Get on the balcony, the one you have revealed by moving the stone block. Follow it and jump to the other side - climb right and you will reach a huge red stone hanging on a belt.
Rock the stone and throw your axe at it twice. This breaks the ice which reveals a new passage. Go right, throw the axe at the crystal and then open the red chest.
Jump on the belt and climb up.
Release the belt
Approach the chain on the top and throw it down to release the hammer.
Seasons puzzle
You are now on the bottom. Open the door and then open the red chest. Move forward. Let Atreus approach another bowl with a puzzle.
To solve the seasons puzzle you have to throw an axe at a small target so that the correct symbols representing the seasons - from spring to winter - will appear on the boards. The solution to the riddle is presented in the picture above - the correct symbols are (starting from the left) a leaf, sun, flower and a snowflake.
Go to the chisel
You have activated an elevator. New enemies will appear. This fight has an additional obstacle - you must defeat the enemies before the time runs out. Use the fact that you are near an edge - throw enemies into abyss.
You now have to face three waves of enemies. Each new wave is more difficult than the previous one. After that you have to aim at the two red crystals. Destroy them.
Move forward. Get on the ledge and go right. Then, you have to push a boulder and watch a cut-scene.
Retrieve a piece of the chisel
On the bottom, you have to jump on the ledge and go to the red chest. Then, you have to go left, get on the platform and climb up.
Keep moving forward until you reach the door. Open them and enter inside. Aim at the chandeliers and detonate the red crystals. Throw a red shard at the red chest - you will open it soon.
Frost troll - duel with mini-boss
Pick up the red crystal and aim at the ice targets in front of you. You have to destroy three of them - Wulvers jump out from the first one, an Ogre from the second and the third ice block has a Frost Troll inside of it! Kill all enemies.
Battle with bosses - Magni and Modi
Go through the new passage and speak with Sindri. Try to upgrade your weapon and craft upgrades - soon, you will fight with two bosses.
Follow the path, open the red chest and walk on the edge to reach the magic chisel. Face Thor's sons.
The confrontation with the two sons of the god Thor has been described in more detail on the separate Magni and Modi page available in the Bosses chapter of our guide.
The boss fight

This fight is rather unique because you fight against two brothers - Magni and Modi. Both sons of Thor have unique attacks and separate health bars.
- Magni wields a giant sword - he uses slow and powerful attacks. These strikes are easy to dodge and counter.
- Modi has a shield and a one-handed axe - he is the opposite of his brother. He moves swiftly but his attacks aren't as powerful.
The best tactic is to focus on one brother - our recommendation is to attack Magni, who becomes vulnerable during his charges.
Take a quarter of their health to end the first stage of the fight. You are surrounded by a fog - rotate Kratos towards the marker which indicates a direction of an attack and parry it.
Time for the second stage. It is very similar to the first one - defeat one of the brothers and then attack the second boss. After that you must block enemies' attacks again.
Time for the third and final round - watch out for area of effect attacks because they can deal a lot of damage. You have to knock both brothers in a short interval because they can revive each other.
Collect items, approach the crystal and get a piece of the chisel. Mission accomplished!
