GoW Ragnarok: Aurvangar Wetlands Svartalfheim Nornir Chests—Location and Solution

God of War Ragnarok brings back the Nornir Chests, which allow Kratos to increase his health meter and Rage meter when unlocked. The process to unlock a Nornir Chest is a tiny bit tedious as you have to look for three different runes located in places nearby. 

Once you have found the runes, you can unlock the Nornir Chest, which gives you either the Apples of Idunn to increase health or the Horn of Blood Mead to increase your Rage meter. 

This guide will help you to unlock two Nornir Chests located in Aurvangar Wetlands in the realm of the dwarves, Svartalfheim.

The second Nornir Chest in the Aurvangar Wetlands of Svartalfheim is located on the island that you come across by going under the small wooden bridge in the boat near the Legendary Chest on a ledge. Dock the boat there and go right to find the Nornir Chest. 

The way to open this chest is a bit different than the rest. However, those who have played the first game will be quick to solve it. To open the chest, you need to spin the golden circles above the three runes by hitting them with your axe until it displays the correct one.
