Old Friends Objectives

	Objectives
1	Enter the Mystic Gateway
2	Speak with Jormungandr ▶ Destroying Soundstones ▶ Unlock Dive Into Battle
3	Head back to the Mystic Gateway
4	Speak with Freya ▶ Should you throw the snowball?

2. Use Sonic Arrows on Soundstones

In this chapter we'll learn that the green glowing things from the previous one are actually called Soundstones. You will also encounter Soundstones in this chapter as part of the puzzles that you need to solve to progress.

Shoot them with Sonic Arrows (L2 + R2) to destroy or move objects in the environment. There are also barrels with Soundstones that you can break for Hacksilver.

2. Unlock Dive Into Battle

We recommend unlocking Dive Into Battle as soon as its available. This skill grapples Atreus towards an enemy and inflict damage depending on the equipped Runic Arrow. This will help you build up Sonic damage without consuming Sonic Arrows!

4. Should You Throw the Snowball?

There is an optional dialogue scene with Sindri just outside the Council of the Valkyries that you can trigger before you enter. In this scene, Atreus prepares a snowball which you can choose whether to throw or drop.

Your choice in this event won't have major effects and will only result in different dialogue lines between the two.
