Our guide explains how to unlock Kratos' second main weapon, how to get to Helheim, how to defeat the The Bridge Keeper and get his heart, and how to return to Freya with the cure.

• Ask Freya for help
• Realm travel to Helheim
• Defeat the Bridge Keeper - boss Wight
• Deliver the heart to Freya

Ask Freya for help

Carry the boy to the boat and head to the Witch's cave. Inside, use the elevator and enter the cabin.

Atreus is gravely sick - go back home to retrieve a weapon that will help Kratos in Helheim.

Go to the boat and use it.

Defeat the enemies outside the house and enter inside. The Blades of Chaos will be unlocked, becoming Kratos' second main weapon and an alternative to the Leviathan axe used so far. Use this weapon to kill the enemies.

From now on you can use Kratos' second weapon. You can upgrade it and learn new moves, just like with the Leviathan Axe.

Realm travel to Helheim

Use the portal and go back to Brok's shop. Go to the travel room and choose Helheim as your destination.

Defeat the Bridge Keeper - boss Wight

Move forward. Use Blades of Chaos to defeat enemies. Then, you have to use the weapon to destroy the roots - from now on you can use your weapon to reach hidden passages and items that were blocked by roots.

Go forward. Defeat a few enemies. Destroy the roots and proceed forward. Reach a locked gate. Go left and then go down. Destroy more roots and walk on the edge.

Kill more enemies and move forward. The platform crumbles down - you have to face new monsters.

Climb up and destroy roots between the two statues. Move forward and you will see the Bridge Keeper. You have to kill him.

Even though this fight may be similar to those with Trolls, this enemy is much stronger. He also has different attacks: the Bridge Keeper can teleport, shoot projectiles and can become invisible.

He can also summon lesser enemies that can be problematic in this fight. Eliminate them first and try to always keep an eye on the Bridge Keeper so he won't damage you with a surprise attack.

This fight can be challenging - shock waves and surprise attacks are especially dangerous. Conserve your rage until you reach the final stage of the fight - the enemy will become even more dangerous and faster.

Kill the foe, jump on his corpse and rip his heart from his chest.

Deliver the heart to Freya

Approach the pillar with a flashing green object in the middle. You meet Brok - the dwarf can upgrade your Blades. From now on you can capture the Winds of Hel - aim at the sphere and capture its energy.

You can hold this energy for only 10 seconds. Use the Blades on the sphere located in the gate to unlock a new passage.

Capture the Winds of Hel from the gate and move them to another place. Defeat enemies and then cross the stone bridge.

Capture the Winds of Hel and move them to another green sphere. This unlocks a passage that leads to a horde of enemies.

Kill the enemies. Then, you have to destroy the roots. Proceed through the narrow passage. Capture the Winds of Hel from the stone on the left. Open the gate.

A single, and powerful, enemy awaits you on the bridge. A little bit further you will encounter a group of weaker opponents. Keep moving towards the exit. Go back to Midgard.

Speak with Brok - you can now use Mystical Gateways to travel between them. Use this option to return to the Witch's cavern.

Give the Keeper's heart to Freya - Atreus has been healed. You can continue your journey. Head back to Tyr's Vault.
