The Mountain (NC)

Nornir Chest 1

Continue along the dark caves as part of the main journey until you reach a stone bridge. Destroy the wooden boards covering the large light crystal then activate it to create a light bridge leading to the nornir chest. Cross the bridge and light up the torch beside the nornir chest. The runes needed to unlock the chest is written in blood on the wall.

To unlock it, you have to throw your axe to the rune spinners to match the symbols as shown below. Loot the Horn of Blood Mead from it.

Nornir Chest 2

After defeating Hraezlyr during the journey mission “Inside the Mountain” and getting the shock arrows,, you’ll come across a sap-covered room. The shatter crystal pod is located in a nearby altar, worshipped by reavers. The nornir chest is found in this area as well. To unlock it, you’ll have to find three rune seals.

Take the shatter crystal and throw it at the sap and detonate it with Atreus’ shock arrows. This will allow you to access Ymir’s shrine inside the room as well. Look up to the right of the shrine to find one of the rune seals.

After clearing the sap and freeing the bridge, cross it and defeat the enemies that will appear there. Look to the right of the lore marker to find the second rune seal lodged by the stone debris on the wall.

To reach the third rune seal, operate the gearwheel past the bridge to raise it up the other ledge then freeze the gears beside it to lock it in place. Cross the bridge to reach the upper platform with a coffin. The rune seal is found on top of a wall near the bridge’s end.
