Opening the fourth gate

Opening the First Gate

Ragnarok - opening the first gate

The gates in this chapter requires the use of both the Leviathan Axe and Sigil Arrows.

For the first gate, shoot a Sigil Arrow on the gear, then two more arrows on the two rings next to it. Open the gate and throw your axe at the exposed Sigil to freeze the gate in place.

Opening the Second Gate

Ragnarok - opening the second gate

For the second gate, you need to shoot three Sigil Arrows on the wood along the gear before pulling it down. The topmost Sigil should still be high enough for your axe to hit even after the wood is lowered, so try to maximize the distance between marks.

Opening the Third Gate

Ragnarok - opening the third gate

The third gate involves two counterweights and a gap where you can throw your axe and shoot arrows into. To open the third gate, place a Sigil on the smaller slab and two more on the highest and lowest segment of the larger slab.

Open the gate so that the smaller slab is next to the gear, then throw your axe at the exposed Sigil.

Opening the Fourth Gate

Ragnarok - opening the fourth gate

You'll run into the fourth and last gate on your way back to the Mystic Gateway.

As you raise the gate, shoot Sigil Arrows at the two rings embedded on the large gear. Once the gate is fully raised, throw your axe at the bottom Sigil to freeze the gate in place.

Boss Strategy: Garm

Freeze the Chain

Ragnarok - freeze Garm

One of Garm's attacks will have his chain slammed on the ground. In the later parts of the battle, he will slam the chain more than once so wait for the attack to finish first.

When the chain gets stuck on the ground, freeze it with the Leviathan Axe before grabbing the chain for an instant Stun.

Attack Garm While He's Stunned

Ragnarok - stunned Garm

After filling Garm's Stun gauge or after grabbing his chain, go all out and attack him before he gets back up.

Impale the Glowing Chains

Ragnarok - impale the glowing chains

In the second fight, you can deal more damage to Garm by impaling the glowing chains on his body with the Draupnir Spear and detonating them. You'll find glowing chains on his feet and a larger one on his neck, which you can hit easily while he's stunned.
