Close the Hel-Tear in The Gleaming Bale

All Hel-Tear Locations
| Overworld Image | Map VIew |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Sindri's House: The first Hel-Tear you will close comes right when you return to Sindri's House after leaving Asgard. Though closing this Hel-Tear will not start the Favor right away. | |
 |
|
| The Gleaming Bale, Helheim: The second Hel-Tear you close is what triggers the start of the favor. This Hel-Tear is just along the way as you comple the Reunion making it completely unmissable. | |
 |
 |
| Aurvangar Wetlands, Svartalfheim: This Hel-Tear is just along the path of the wetlands you have already cleared when you first visted Svartalfheim. The Hel-Tear is just by the first boat dock you will encounter from the Mystic Gateway. | |
 |
 |
| The Strond, Alfheim: This Hel-Tear is located just at the exit of The Strond. Take the Mystic Gateway close to the exit point of The Strond and the Hel-Tear will be nearby as you approach the Strond. | |
 |
 |
| The Southern Wilds, Vanaheim: This Hel-Tear is near the Mystic Gateway in the Southern Wilds. Take that Mystic Gateway and just head north until you see the tear. | |
 |
 |
| Well of Urd, Midgard: This Hel-Tear is located on the path going back to the Well of Urd past the Lake of Nine. The closest way to this Hel-Tear is the Mystic Gateway northwest of Tyr's Temple. | |
