In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Unleashing Hel main path mission in God of War Ragnarok. Atreus and Thrud are sent to Helheim on Odin’s orders in search of a mask fragment.

As a part of the main path, Forging Destiny features some major story developments. We’ve tried to keep spoilers to a minimum to conserve the experience, but there are a few in there for the purpose of keeping you going in the right direction.

Find the Final Mask fragment

The first part of Unleashing Hel follows one-way path with no branching paths or extra areas to explore Push forward, taking out Hel-Walkers as you go, until you reach the Docks of Vadgelmir.

Walk as far as you can go to trigger some dialog telling you to backtrack. Do so and take on the Hel-Walkers, move the large crate to under ledge where they emerged and climb up.
