Use the links below to jump to the region you need to find a chest in!

• The Raven Tree
• Frozen Caverns
• Aesir Prison Wreckage

The Raven Tree - Legendary Chests 1-6

The first six Legendary Chests in Niflheim are unique, because they are initially locked. You can find them at The Raven Tree, directly South of the main Mystic Gateway and Brok’s workshop.

To unlock these Legendary Chests, you need to hit certain milestones of Odin’s Ravens; they unlock in a clockwise direction, starting with the lower chest on the left-hand side. Opening a chest will reward a unique item.

Frozen Caverns - Legendary Chest-U 1

• Contains: Runic Summon - Bitter Squirrel

This Legendary Chest is untracked, and is not required for 100% completion.

This Legendary Chest is found as you explore the Frozen Caverns as Atreus. At a certain point you’ll drop down a ledge and see a grapple point on your right to cross a gap.

Ignore it for a moment and head around the frozen pillar: up the ledge will be the Legendary Chest.

The chest contains the Bitter Squirrel Runic Summon, which summons Ratatoskr’s Bitter spectral form to dig up a Healthstone. Upgrades will have Bitter dig up multiple Healthstones! Notably, Bitter has a sassy personality, especially if you don’t actually use any of the items he digs up.

Aesir Prison Wreckage - Legendary Chest 1

• Contains: Companion Accessory - Nocked Proficiency

This Legendary Chest is found on the top floor of the Aesir Prison, however getting to it is one of the more brain-tickling puzzles in the game. First, you’ll want to clear out the tower first of any enemies and use the two Wind Vent frames to help swing down. You can move the Wind Vents using the chain cranks.

Eventually, you’ll make your way to the bottom floor. We’ll start our instructions here to act as a common reset point.

For clarity, we’ll refer to the floors in ascending order. So the bottom floor is Floor 4, while the top floor is Floor 1.

To begin, jump up the Eastern swing pole to get from Floor 4 to Floor 3.

Next, look for the chain crank in the North-Western corner of the room and use it to raise a Wind Pole frame up as high as it’ll go.

Let go of the chain crank, then look South: you should see a blue-framed window you can vault through.

Inside the room, turn around and look up: you’ll see a cracked wall you can breach through with the Blades of Chaos. This will get you up to Floor 3.

When you get to the top, look North to spot a gate you can yank open via a grapple point. It’ll be opposite the local Nornir Chest.

Head through the gate and look right through the opening: you’ll now be able to climb up to the Legendary Chest on Floor 1 using the swing pole you moved earlier! If you want to access the rest of Floor 1, use the grapple point here to open another gate.

The chest contains the Nocked Proficiency accessory for your companion, making every third Runic Arrow fired have an additional arrow.

To the left of the chest near a corpse is an easily-missed Relic: Motsognir’s Call. It creates a shockwave that deals a high amount of Stun to surrounding enemies.
