Talk to Brok and Sindri
Go to the travel room and try to select Jotunheim as your destination. Sadly, Mimir needs his lost eye to be able to open the passage for you.
Go to the dwarves and ask them if they know where Mimir's eye can be. It turns out that the eye is in Thor's Temple... which was eaten by a serpent.
This is the last call to collect gear before the final confrontation. Don't worry - you can visit all locations after completing the main story line.
Boat into the Serpent s mouth
Go to the horn and call the Serpent. Mimir will speak with it. The creature allows you to get inside its stomach.
Go to the boat and head into the Serpent's mouth.
Find Mimir's eye
Boat forward - you can take out a few items from the water. Dock on the shore and turn Kratos so he is facing the spinning wheel. Aim at the sign, move the elevator far to the left and freeze the mechanism.
Climb on the left wall and reach the elevator. Recall Leviathan and climb up.
Approach the golden chest and take out Mimir's eye from it. Kratos will "gently" place it in the right spot. The old man can now take you to Jotunheim.
Turn left and open the purple chest. The last piece of the cipher to Niflheim is inside of it. This optional realm is described in a separate chapter and can also be visited after completing the main story.
Go back to the boat and leave. Sadly, things will get complicated. Freya and Baldur appear. Time for the final confrontation!
Defeat Baldur- final boss of the game
The final third confrontation with the god Baldur is also described in detail on the Final boss page in the Bosses chapter. There you can find additional tips on how to emerge victorious from the final duel.
Freya tries to interrupt the fight by restraining both Kratos and Baldur. Free yourself and attack the enemy.
The enemy is fast and strong. He can also regenerate his health. Fight for a while and watch a cut-scene. Baldur hurts himself with an arrow made out of mistletoe which makes his immortality disappear.
Wait for the enemy to attack and parry him. This is the beginning of the second round. Baldur is very fast and strong - the best way to attack him is to hit him right after a dodge or a block.
Baldur can change his form - attack him with Blades of Chaos when he is in ice form; use Leviathan when he turns into his fire form.
Freya tries to stop you from fighting by sending a giant who can, e.g. create shock waves. These attacks must be avoided, of course, and you can't just focus on Baldur's character.
New enemies will appear after some time - try to eliminate them first because they are a real hindrance during this fight.
Watch a few cut-scenes and complete a few actions that happen in-between the sections of the fight - you have to, e.g. climb up and win a fist fight with Baldur.
Use Spartan Rage and continue the fight. Baldur is now even more powerful - he uses more special attacks and he frequently changes his form. You will be switching your weapons constantly. Don't forget to order Atreus to keep firing at the enemy.
Witness the tragic end of the relation between Baldur and Freya. Killing Baldur has brought Freya's wrath on Kratos.
