Follow Mimir’s Instructions to the Chisel

Video Guide (Part 23)

Now that you have a new heading towards a previously inaccessible area - Mimir can lead you to a magic chisel that can carve the travel rune to Jotunheim.

After the World Serpent pushes the bridge around to face Helheim, he’ll further recede the water levels as well, opening up new places to explore around the Shores of Nine. Note that you can have Atreus read out the runes of the Braziers below the realm tower here to light them up, and you’ll get additional XP for lighting all eight towers up.

Artifact Location: To the right of Helheim Tower, just before the lift, look for a dead soldier who holds one of the Abandon Ship artifacts and add it to your collection.

Head down the lift and ward off some pesky Nightmares as you arrive at the Mason’s Channel. What was once two giant statues and an impassible roadblock have now revealed themselves to be statues on boats, and the water level has gone down below the blockage. There’s a Mystic Gateway along the left by the cliff, and a boat dock in the far corner.

Treasure Map Location: Look along the shoreline to spot a Treasure Map sticking out of the sand, and read it to learn about The Island of Light.

You have several new places to explore if you wish:

• The path leading up the wall from the shore will take you to one of Sindri’s Shops and a hidden area: The Council of Valkyries. You can also take the boat to explore the opposite shore of the Alfheim Tower to uncover a new favor: The Flight of Fafnir.
• Along the shore under the Alfheim Tower, look for another Yggdrasil’s Dew of Strength hanging above the water. Off to to the Northeast, a new island has appeared below Stone Falls - Buri’s Storeroom.
• The Stone Falls itself has expanded to show two giant water wheels, and there’s a Yggdrasil’s Dew of Luck located just by the giant gold doors.
• The path to the Volunder Mines has changed, offering up a new area to paddle through the Volunder Chasm. Just outside it near the Vanaheim Tower is another of Yggdrasil’s Dew of Strength hanging along the shore by a new dock for the Cliffs of the Raven which has also expanded.
• The Lookout Tower also has new places to explore below the Vanaheim Tower, and on the other side of the now-broken statue above Muspelheim Tower lies a new dock next to another of Yggdrasil’s Dew of Defense.
• To the West of Muspelheim Tower, a new tunnel called the Landsuther Canyon has opened up leading to Landsuther Mines below The Riverpass - expect a quest from Brok to take you here soon.
• Under the Nifilheim Tower beneath the large wrecked ship lies another of the Yggdrasil’s Dew of Strength you can pluck out. There’s another one near a new dock to the Iron Cove - a Yggdrasil’s Dew of Runic Power, as well as a Yggdrasil’s Dew of Vitality behind a rock on the South side of the expanded Isle of Death, as well as one on the West side.
• On the West side, Asgard Tower is now climbable, across from the ravine to Fafnir’s Storeroom and near a new entrance to the Forgotten Caverns.
• North of Svartalfheim Tower is a small watery tunnel leading to Yggdrasil’s Dew of Luck, and a backdoor to the Forgotten Caverns, but the river also deeper to the Northwest to Konunsgard, which is locked for the moment.
• In the Northern area past the Svartalfheim Tower, a new island fort has appeared - the Light Elf Outpost. A narrow stream on the right hides a Yggdrasil’s Dew of Cooldown, and past it is another Yggdrasil’s Dew of Defense off to the left side towards a new region: The Ruins of the Ancient, and a small tunnel to the right of the dock leads into a passage called the Northri Gorge that leads to the locked Northri Stronghold, an area of interest for Sindri.
• Finally, Tyr’s Temple itself has a new lower level with a Hidden Chamber and a mysterious door that needs a mysterious key.

Besides all that, the waters are teeming with barrels of Hacksilver and gold glows that denote Aegir’s Gold to stock up on, so there’s plenty to do if you don’t want to move onto the main quest just yet.

If you do, head on your boat between the two giant oarsman statues and into the next region: The Mason’s Channel. The river leads to a large gate that you’ll need to open via the nearby shore.

Favor: The Anatomy of Hope - as you land on the shore you’ll see a corpse rise up nearby - but he’s not hostile. This ghost wants you to find the bones of his dead lover that have been scattered across the Lake of Nine. Gullveig promises a reward if you do - and the promise of speaking to the dearly departed…

Head over to the wheel mechanism and pull it to open the gate - but as you do, an Ogre will appear, soon backed by several Dark Elves bent on revenge. Try and use some of your newly unlocked combos and abilities in tandem with Atreus and his stunning and runic abilities to sow discord among them. Remember there are skills for dodging into attacks, counters, and sprinting attacks you can use to close the gap on the Dark Elves, and skirt around the Ogre and use stunning attacks and Atreus to get him primed for a finisher.

After killing the group, use the nearby healing stones if you need them and loot the Ogrel’s body for some Solid Svartalfheim Steel.

Now take the boat and leave The Mason’s Channel behind to find the heart of the real upcoming region: Thamur’s Corpse (and check the map if you want to see the real size of this new area!).

As you reach the Northern Dock, check out the nearby Mystic Doorway before taking stock of the icy area you are now in.

Odin’s Raven Location: While facing the Mystic Doorway, be sure to look up to spot a small green glowing raven perched on top of some ruins above you - far enough away you can barely hear him. You’ll need to aim high for the axe to arc down into him.

Head onwards to face a new enemy: The Wulver. These werewolf-like creatures are fast and deadly, and constantly shift around to dodge blows both in melee and ranged. They also pounce with deadly claws that can sometimes be blocked and countered - but beware when a Wulver gets low on health.

It will sprout new bloodier claws that deal even more damage, and it may lunge forth for a grab that you’ll have to mash circle to get out of as it tries to take a bite out of you.

Find an opening with stuns or shock arrows and capitalize on their momentary weakness before they can recover and take the Wulvers out.

There’s a sealed Hidden Chamber along the ice wall - but turn your attention to the dead giant’s ring.

It’s made of Shatter Crystal, and you hit it once with a Shock Arrow to loosen it up, and then turn the ring in his dead finger to have the crystal face the walls of ice, and hit it with a Shock Arrow to shatter the ice. Be sure to hit the right side to reveal a Coffin that holds Solid Svartalfheim Steel.

Take the left path through the ice wall and into a small pit with another sealed door. Look for a hanging bucket full of Hacksilver and then climb up the opposite side where a dead body holds more Hacksilver on a thin roof.

Head past the chain at the end of the ramp to find a Coffin holding Runic Wyrmskin Pauldrons and Solid Svartalfheim Steel. Now you can climb up the chain at the end to leave the hand of the dead giant behind and see the remains of the rest of the body itself.

Video Guide (Part 24)

There’s a long tundra between you and the rest of the body of Thamur, To the right there are some Wulvers lying in wait - take care not to get blindsided by them.

If they start dodging all of your attacks, you may have to bait them into attacking and counter with a well-timed shield, then press the advantage.

Lore Location: To the right of where the Wulvers were at is a large ruin with a light crystal surrounded by red sap. Under it you can find Rune Reads for Atreus to translate: Njord of the Vanir.

Look around in the center of the tundra for a lone Coffin on a sled, and loot it to find Plated Runeweaver Bracers and Solid Svartalfheim Steel. Also near the center, on the other side of a ruined home, is a lump of ice that forms an Ice Ancient when struck.

Like the other Ancient you faced, you’ll need to wait for the right moment to strike. Prime your axe to throw when his chest is exposed and dodge the projectiles until you spot explosive stones fall out, then toss them back. When he falls to his knees exposing his chest again, toss your axe again to fill his stun meter and start pounding on him. This ancient will also release concentrates beams of ice that are tough to avoid, and will start summoning Nightmares at low health - so have Atreus help you ward off unwanted distractions. Killing it will get you plenty of Solid Svartalfheim Steel, Ancient’s Rubble, a Frost Sigil of Defense, and another Ancient’s Heart. (Note: if you missed the Ice Ancient and want to find him in the post-game, he's at the edge of the area near the entrance to the Hidden Chamber of Odin in Thamur's Corpse)

To the left of where you fought the Ice Ancient, you can spot a closed gate with three Rune Seals similar to a Nornir Chest. In order to raise the gate, you’ll need to match the symbols of the “E”, sideways “R”, and sideways “p”.

There’s a rune mechanism up to the left you can hit - but with only one paddle you’ll need to orient yourself to hit behind the mechanism to reach the “R” looking rune.

Now run back to where the Rune Reads were at the other side of the tundra and look for a paddle you can hit to raise up the rune mechanism, and quickly rotate it to the “E” rune.

Finally, head down the path on the right to a font of Shatter Crystal near a Hacksilver Chest, and take the crystal further towards the giant’s face and to the left to find a bunch of World Tree Sap blocking the last mechanism you can rotate once freed to the “p” Rune.

Grab the other Hacksilver Chest nearby as you return to the gate to find a Coffin with several Solid Svartalfheim Steel, and the Mark of the Ranger - a Legendary Enchantment!

Before moving towards the Giant’s Face, be sure to grab another piece of Shatter Crystal and return to where the Rune Read was and toss the crystal up at the sap covering the Light Crystal.

Knock the blue crystal down and take it over to a pedestal on the right to uncover a Realm Tear - thankfully this one won’t spawn any enemies, but will reward you with the Dust of Realms all the same.

Find a Way to Break the Ice

Now head on the path down towards the Head of Thamur and look below the ice to find the piece of the chisel you need. Kratos has a plan to get it, but before you can act on it, you’ll be ambushed by a ton of Draugr - including ranged, heavy, and shielded. Take out the simple ranged fighters first or use their projectiles and redirect them at other foes with Countering Blast. Then focus on your fire on the slower heavier Draugr.

After the first wave, more Draugr will show up, backed by not one but TWO Ogres - one higher level than the other. Things can get dicey here, especially as they start throwing Draugr your way. If you can use Spartan Rage as soon as you can and focus heavily on the higher level Ogre and use Atreus to build up damage and the stun meter as quick as you are able. Once you hop on the Ogrel, use him to easily destroy the lesser Ogre and the nearby Draugr, and he’ll be much easier to finish off by himself.

As the fight ends, Sindri will appear on a cliff off to the side and lower a chain for you to climb up to greet him. He’ll give your axe another minor enhancement, and you can buy or upgrade some equipment if you need to - like making sure Atreus’ bow and quiver are are at least level 4.

To find a way to the large hammer in the distance, you’ll need to start manipulating the dead giant. Start by looking at his beard for more Shatter Crystals along the length of a braid.

Hit each one with a Shock Arrows (You’ll need to spin the middle clasp with your axe to reveal the crystal) in order to break apart the rocks that hold the braid in place - giving you a new path.

Head across the new path to a large building with a Hacksilver Chest at the front, and move around the side to find a door inside.

God of War - The Magic Chisel, The Mason's Channel and Northern Dock

A walkthrough for the first part of the God of War story mission, The Magic Chisel.

The Magic Chisel is your next quest in God of War PS4's main story, and starts out with you heading to two area: The Mason's Channel and the Northern Dock.

Here on this page, we'll take you through everything you need to know about this section of your quest, including how to solve any puzzles, take down any bosses and find any useful loot along the way. For guides to specific collectibles we also have pages on Valkyrie locations and how to open Hidden Chambers, Lost and Found locations and Faces of Magic locations, too.

The Magic Chisel - The Mason's Channel

The first stop on your hunt for the Magic Chisel - one of two MacGuffin's you'll need to get to Jotunheim, the other being the Jotunheim travel rune - is a place called The Mason's Channel, which is in sight from where you are in the Lake of Nine.

Head down to your boat and paddle North-East, to the two big crossed oars held by a couple of giant statues.

Through the other side you'll notice a big, closed gate on your left, and up ahead a place to dock, but only a small area of land to run about on.

On dry land, you'll notice a weird, floating spectre hovvering above a corpse. This chap gives you the side quest favour, The Anatomy of Hope, if you talk to him, but worry about that later. Your task right now is to get that chisel, which means opening the gate.

Head to the big wheel nearby and turn it, as always, to open the gate - but as you do be prepared for a battle!

Several enemies - a lot of them Dark Elves, weirdly - will attack, along with an Ogre, which is defeated in the usual manner: beat it down and then hop on its back when prompted to smash away at the other enemies nearby, and eventually take it down.

After they're all cleared out, head back to the boat and paddle through the now-open gate.

The caves you travel through will begin to turn rather icy as you progress, and soon enough you're in a real winter wonderland as temperatures suddenly plummet.

At the other end, you soon come to a dock, and there are more enemies ahead.

Reviews for "Improving AOO Graphics with Curse Forge: The Best Visual Mods to Try"

1. John - 2 stars:

I was really excited to try out Curseforge app, but I found it to be quite disappointing. The layout was clunky and the navigation was not user-friendly at all. The app also had a lot of bugs and crashes, which made the overall experience frustrating. The app did have a good variety of mods, but the poor user experience overshadowed the positive aspects for me.

2. Sarah - 1 star:

Unfortunately, Curseforge app did not live up to my expectations. The app was slow and frequently froze, making it difficult to search for and download mods. The UI was also poorly designed, making it confusing to navigate through the different sections. Furthermore, I found myself encountering a lot of connectivity issues while using the app. Overall, I would not recommend Curseforge app to others due to its numerous technical flaws.

3. Michael - 2 stars:

As someone who enjoys using mods for games, I was excited to give Curseforge app a try. However, I was left disappointed with my experience. The app had a limited selection of mods compared to other platforms, and many popular mods were missing. Additionally, the app frequently crashed and had a slow loading time. I ended up uninstalling the app and sticking with other modding platforms that offered a better user experience.
