Unlocking the quest
This quest is available only after completing the main storyline. You must return to The Raven Tree region in Niflheim.
You will find a new path leading southeast near the store - move from one lodge to the next. Soon, the quest will be added automatically to the journal.
Search the prison
The linear path leads to the hidden region - Aesir Prison Wreckage.
Descend the ice wall and defeat a group of opponents.
You have to head to the lower levels of the prison. Use the spear to reach the next levels - you can throw the spear at the holes (example in the picture) and turn it into a bar. You can jump to the bar and then to the lower shelf.
In the prison, you can also:
- move some bars sideways - grab onto them with the Blades of Chaos;
- move the rods (stuck spears) vertically - you can do that with chains (example in the picture) to descend to lower levels.
There is also an additional action available in one of the side rooms of the prison - you can pull yourself to a weakened wall and break through it.
Reach the lowest level and defeat more enemies. Locate the grate in the picture - after lifting it, you will meet the imprisoned Tyr.
The quest will end at this point - you don't need to lead Tyr out of prison. You can immediately return to the top or look for all the collectibles from this location first.
