The Nornir Chest is north of the Barrens. There is a Tower on top of a Rock covered in Tendrils. Sou you have to get rid of them first by hitting them when they’re in a line. Like on the screenshot below.



Light the torches of the Runes with your blades.

The “C” Rune is next to the Nornir Chest at the base of the tower.

The “n” Rune is at the back towards the right of the Nornir Chest. Shoot pink arrows to light it up.

Now you just have to be quick. Hit the three runes with your axe. “n” first, then “C” and then the “R” Rune



LEGENDARY CHESTS

– 1: INSIDE THE SKELETON OF A BEAST –

Enter the skeleton of a beast in the east of the Barrens. At the very back, climb up the wall and you will see this Legendary Chest next to an Artefact.



– 2: BUILDING IN THE NORTH OF BARRENS –

In the north of the Barrens is a building with elves that attack you when you get there. Look for the tree just outside of this building. Odin’s Raven is sitting on top, and the Legendary Chest is at its base.



– 3: CAVE IN THE SOUTH –

South of the map is a vertical gap in a wall where you can squeeze into a cave. There are Tendrils blocking the way to a Legendary Chest and an Artefact is lying on the floor.

The Tendril puzzle is tricky. There is a deflecting purple crystal that takes care of two Tendrils but not the third one. You just have to stand in the correct position. Throw the axe to the crystal and then recall the axe. The recall has to take care of the third Tendril!

BURIED TREASURE

SECRET OF THE SANDS

Talk to the Shopkeeper at The Canyons to start this Favours Quest.

Find the entrance to the caves in the south of the Barrens and climb down.

Work your way through THE BELOW and the Tendrils Puzzles. At the end of THE BELOW, you will discover the reason for the sandstorm. A trapped Hafgufa.

First, get rid of the ore barrier near the entrance / exit. Go to the very right and you can hit the oil flask from there. Now cross over where the oil flask was and look across to the other 3 Tendrils, not the ones above you. You can throw your axe through the nearest Tendril and deflect it at the back for the other two.

Jump back over the chasm towards the entrance / exit. From there you deflect your axe from one crystal to the other to destroy the remaining 3 Tendrils.

You now have to go back to the surface to free the Hafgufa. There is a path up from where the Hafgufa is.

Destroy the Tendril at this location:
