From the The Strond – Mythic Gate, take the same path up that you took with Atreus and Tyr. As you did with them, you exit the cave and squeeze through a vertical gap at the top. Once you’re through the gap, turn left and you can see a Nornir Chest down below.

There are three torches that need to be lit with your blades.

“C” Rune

Look to the left while standing next to the Nornir Chest. There is the torch just at the ledge. It can be lit without the pink arrows.

“R” Rune

For the “R” Rune, climb back up and follow the path to the left. At the top, you can turn left again. When you look down, you will see the “R” torch. Grapple down and light it up from below. No pink arrows needed.

“N” Rune

The “N” Rune is at the other side of the Nornir Chest. Stand close to the cliff and look down. From there you can fire up the torch.

Just before you reach the big gate to the temple, you will reach the second Nornir Chest.

To activate the three Runes of the Chest, you have to use your spear. Throw it at each one of the runes (you’ll see the yellow tip on the rune) and detonate all three at the same time.

“N” Rune

The Rune is just left of the chest.

“F” Rune

For the “F” Rune, go towards the Temple gate but don’t jump over the gap yet. Look towards the right. There is a waterfall and the F Rune.

“n” Rune

The “n” Rune is on the other side of the Nornir Chest up on top of the rocks.

Now just detonate all 3 spear tips at the same time and the Nornir Chest is open.

Like in the story, cross the big bridge with the gap. Just after your first deflecting pink crystal puzzle, where you have to open a wooden gate, there is a ledge grapple down. Go down there. To the left, behind a barrier that you can destroy with melee, is the Legendary Chest next to the Artefact.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
