Last update: 12 August 2022
On this page of the God of War game guide, you will find the walkthrough of the Escape from Helheim quest. The walkthrough explains, among other things, how to pass through the different areas of Helheim, how to use the boat properly, and how to reach Odin's secret chamber.
Find a way out of Helheim
Approach the stones and free Atreus. Then, you have to climb up and walk on a few edges.
Defeat enemies, burn roots and collect silver from a small chest. Lift the gate and follow the path.
Defeat a few enemies and lift the grates. You now have to climb down and reach a large gate. Go down the ledge and reach a red chest.
Place the Winds of Hel into the left sphere and freeze the left part of the gate with Leviathan. Then, you have to move the Winds into the sphere on the right. After that the gate will open.
A powerful opponent waits behind the gate - be careful and rely on dodges. Wait for an opening and kill the enemy.
Destroy the roots and move the piece of a pillar forward as far as you can. Go back to the place where you fought with the enemy. Destroy thorns to get another red chest.
Jump on the wall and climb by moving to the right. You overhear Baldur's conversation and you learn about the man's tragic fate.
Jump down and defeat the enemies. Move the stone block forward and reach the other side.
Reach the Nornir chest. Destroy three runes to open it.
Use the ship
Get on the ship. Destroy the roots on the deck and then approach the rope.
Sadly, the journey was interrupted and the ship is now immobilized. Approach one of the pillars and destroy it. This changes the position of the sails. Go to the spinning wheel and change the position of the sails again.
The ship gets stuck once more - get on the realm and open the red chest. Then, you have to activate the mechanism. New enemies will appear.
Defeat the monsters, open the nearby golden chest and get back on the ship. You have to enter inside the ruins and turn the sign. Reach the top and freeze the mechanism. Jump to the ship.
This next part is a very long sequence during which you have to escape and face enemies on the deck all at the same time. They want to put out the flames on the roots (set them on flames again if they succeed) which will stop the ship. Try to eliminate these opponents as fast as possible.
From time to time the enemies will shoot anchors at your ship. Remove them to continue the journey.
Lastly, you have to approach the right part of the ship and rip it out to escape.
Escape Helheim
You reach Odin's secret chamber. Open the red chest and the approach the door - open it with the magic chisel.
Move forward. You come across a fragment of Jotun's altar which depicts Tyr holding an item that allows him to travel between realms. There is a chance to reach Jotunheim!
