Walkthrough
- 1Begin by scaling the wall and using the Bifröst to dispel the Black Breath. Open the doors and proceed towards the statue. Take the path to the left of the sand bowl.
- 2Defeat the two Speed Draugrs. Shoot the crystal in the air with the Leviathan Axe and place it on the pedestal.
- 3Have Atreus light up both Light Crystals. Pull the switch to align the runes on the floor for Atreus to translate.
- 4Follow the light to the wall on your right and open the makeshift door. Shoot the nearby Light Crystal for light.
- 5Drop down the ledge and pass through the passage to your right, shooting the crystal for light. Pass under the small tunnel.
- 6In the large open area, find and light the crystal to your left, revealing a passage upwards.
- 7At the top, knock down a container, light a crystal, and open a coffin containing Scaled Bracers of Focus. Head back down and pass under the rock to the left.
- 8Defeat the new Revenant variant (Summoner) and any Fire Nightmares it summons. Focus attacks on the Revenant to prevent reinforcements.
- 9Cross the gap in the bridge. Turn around to face it and shoot the Raven hiding on a beam.
- 10Climb the ledge. Before battling the Draugrs, notice the cluster of light crystals; hitting them causes stun damage. Defeat the Draugr.
- 11Look for a coffin on a platform over the cliff to the right. Shoot the Light Crystal to the right of it to erect a bridge leading to resources.
- 12Head back up the ledge and to the left. Break the wooden wall with an axe toss and shoot the Light Crystal to erect another bridge.
- 13Head up and shoot the Light Crystal in the sconce above the Nornir Chest.
- 14The Runes needed are ᛒ, ᚢ, and ᚱ. Spin the first Rune spinner to ᚢ. Spin the second Rune spinner (to the right of the bridge) to ᚱ. Spin the third Rune spinner (to the left, across the light bridge) to ᛒ. This unlocks the Nornir Chest containing a Horn of Blood Mead.
- 15Head back down the light bridge. Below the second Rune spinner, pick up a crystal. Carry it across the bridge to the left of the Nornir Chest.
- 16Defeat the Draugr on the other side and place the Light Crystal in the empty pedestal.
- 17Defeat the Projectile Draugr and Speed Draugr that attack. Light the crystal to illuminate a Lore Marker.
- 18Take the zipline back down. Take the right path at the fork until you reach a light crystal in a sconce. Shoot it.
- 19To the right of the sconce, break the wooden door and then the boxes to find the first Artefact for the Bottoms Up Artefact quest.
- 20Exit the room and continue, defeating the Draugr and ducking into the tunnel.
- 21Pass through the tunnel and break two barricades to reach the other side of the statue from the entrance.
- 22Have Atreus read the Lore Marker on the back of the statue.
- 23Pass around to the front of the statue to find a Hacksilver chest.
- 24Look behind the statue to find a wooden door. Break it down to find another Lore Marker on the ground.
- 25Before leaving the library, wait for the stone on the ground to change to the desired color before picking it up.
