The pair head on their merry way and make it to the stunning fjords of the Lake of Nine.

Kratos and Atreus explore Alfheim and find themselves embroiled in a war between the Light and Dark Elves.

The three are talking about a certain marked man traveling with a child.

While there, they’re attacked by a seething Modi, who pins Kratos down with lightning.

Meanwhile, Kratos rages out and overpowers Modi, who scampers off whining into the distance.

Mimir senses the drastic situation and orders Kratos to take the boy to Freya.

And so it’s with this heavy weight hanging over him that Kratos returns to Freya.

Baldur kidnaps Atreus, and Kratos follows in pursuit by jumping right off the mountain and onto a dragon.

The fight continues atop the dragon, and the trio end up in the depths of Helheim.

They all promise, as the myth goes, and so Baldur is immortal.

It’s a little bit like that dirigible sequence from The Mummy Returns, only colder and more Scandinavian.

Turns out this back door is actually an upside down door found right beneath the Realm Travel temple.

And to access it, all you have to do is flip the whole temple.

But there’s some good and bad news on the path to Jotunheim.

First, the bad news: There’s no travel crystal, which means they can’t get there.

With his immortality over, Baldur finally takes revenge on his mother by strangling her.

Freya curses Kratos for his treachery and vows to make him rot in hell.

But first, she leaves to bury her dearly departed little god.

Not only that, the stone tapestry spills the beans on two major spoilers that have yet to pass.

Naturally this throws up a whole load of questions, which will no doubt be further explored in Ragnarok.

There are still a few bombshells yet to be dropped.

There’s the small matter of the arrival of Fimbulwinter, which you probably haven’t heard of.

Yet another juicy tease for the next game.

And with that, bring on Ragnarok I say!
