Complete the Second Hand Soul quest in god of war 2018 by finding Brok in the Völunder Mines and defeating the Soul Eater.
Walkthrough
- 1Head to the Völunder Mines, located southeast of Týr’s Temple. Find Brok at his shop inside the mines and speak to him to accept the Favor, 'Second Hand Soul'.
- 2To the right of the main door, find a Lore Marker for Atreus to read. Place the Entry Stone into the pedestal to open the door.
- 3Proceed through the newly opened door. Destroy the debris blocking a path by tossing your axe at a bomb to your left. Collect the Hacksilver and open the coffin.
- 4Jump the gap and break the boards at the end of the passage.
- 5Continue to the right to trigger a Soul Eater, which will ignore you.
- 6Break the boards at the end of the next passage and collect the Hacksilver. Drop into the area below.
- 7Defeat the Nightmares and Draugrs that appear. Strike the bomb overhead to trigger an explosion at the far end.
- 8Search the corpse for Hacksilver and open the gate to proceed.
- 9Toss your axe at the disc to drop a bomb on enemies below.
- 10A Revenant will attack. Use Atreus to pin it with arrows while you attack with your axe.
- 11To your right, break the boards to find a Hacksilver chest. Collect more Hacksilver from a dwarf's corpse.
- 12To your left, you will see a door locked by Nornir Runes. You need to find and destroy three runes to proceed.
- 13Climb down the chain to the right of the bridge. Destroy the two Nightmares that spawn.
- 14Find a coffin and a Treasure Map for Atreus. Proceed along the path until you are under the bridge.
- 15Break the boards to your right. Look right to see a bomb hanging from a runic disc. Hit the disc to destroy the first Rune.
- 16Head back to where you destroyed the boards under the bridge. Climb the ledge and drop down the chain.
- 17Look at the west wall to find the second Rune.
- 18Climb down the chain. Open the gate to the right to find a coffin and the final Rune. The ring you are searching for is on a head dangling from the Soul Eater in this area.
- 19When you exit this area, you will be attacked by Nightmares and Draugrs, including Heavies and Speed types. Use the bombs around the area and attack the Projectile Drauger from where the chain is.
- 20Once the area is clear, climb the chain again and head through the Nornir door.
- 21Collect the Hacksilver to your right as you enter the passage.
- 22Head around the corner and jump down the ledge to face the Soul Eater.
- 23The Soul Eater is passive until attacked. Its weak point is its core, revealed when it attacks. Dodge its fireballs using the stone columns.
- 24Throw your axe, preferably Heavy throws, at the exposed core when it attacks. This will knock off small clusters you can pick up and throw back at the Soul Eater to make them explode.
- 25Deal enough damage to stun it. A red ring will appear above its head. Dash in and press [R3] to climb on top and use [R1] and [R2] to deal damage.
- 26Repeat these steps, dodging around the arena, to defeat the Soul Eater.
- 27After defeating the Soul Eater, check where it fell to find the Alchemist’s Ring, 3000+ Hacksilver, Fire Sigil of Protection, Soft Svartalfheim Steel, and World Serpent Scale Fragments.
- 28Open the Legendary Chest in the area.
- 29Return to Brok.
