1. Shoot Angrboda's Purple Dust

With Angrboda, you can press the square button in battle to have her throw purple dust at enemies. You can then shoot it with your arrows to make it explode and deal damage to nearby enemies.

3. Pick Up Resources From Glowing Spots

Like while traveling by boat, you can also find glowing spots in the marsh while on Jalla. Interact with these areas to pick up resources you can use for crafting and upgrading.

3. Grab Jotunheim Fruits for Bonus XP

You can pick up more Jotunheim Fruits along the way! They don't seem to have other uses than bonus XP but they will remain on your inventory as Key Items.

3. Obtain New Gear From the Tool Chest

The first time you arrive back at the treehouse (after picking Jotunheim Fruits), Angrboda will tell Atreus that she left something in the tool chest, which looks just like the shrines.

Open this tool chest and grab the Jotnar's Champion Garb for Atreus and the crafting recipe for Jotnar Bow, which deals increased status damage and can spread shots.

3. Unlock Atreus' Spartan Rage

Atreus will unlock his own version of Spartan Rage at this point of this chapter. Same as Kratos, his Rage bar will also gradually deplete and will consume a small portion for each successful hit.

3. Hit the Giant Oyster With a Stone

At some point during the third objective, a stone skipping minigame will trigger. Your first three throws are meant to fail, and you will be attacked by Draugr after the third throw.

Once the area is clear, you will be able to pick up the stones again, where you will learn to release the stone at the right time so it bounces a few more times. Release R2 as soon as Atreus' hand glows. Remember the timing of when the light appears so you can throw it far enough to hit the giant oyster on the distance.

Hitting the giant oyster with a stone makes it release some resources that you can pick up.

Boss Strategy: Gryla

Shoot the Cauldron When It's Glowing Purple

You'll notice that the glow on Gryla's cauldron is the same as Angrboda's explosive dust. Whenever the cauldron glows purple brightly, shoot it with an arrow to inflict high Stun damage to Gryla.

Go All Out on the Cauldron When Dropped

Once the Stun meter reaches its limit, Gryla will drop the cauldron down. Focus all your attacks on the cauldron as this is actually who your opponent is in this boss fight.
