This guide explains how to get to Althjof’s Rig for the ‘In Service of Asgard’ favour in God of War Ragnarok.
It has been four years since the release of 2018’s God of War. After that game set such a tremendously high bar and left fans on one almighty cliffhanger, it has been difficult to see how God of War Ragnarok could possibly meet expectations.
Thankfully, God of War Ragnarok has delivered an all-time classic experience. And this sterling sequel is bound to be in contention with Elden Ring for 2022 Game of the Year. It currently stands at a colossal 94/100 on Metacritic having received many 10 out of 10 reviews.
God of War Ragnarok follows father and son duo Kratos and Atreus, the latter now a teenager, as they battle to stop Ragnarok with Fimbulwinter drawing to a close.
Being as a few years have passed since the last game was released, it is likely fans will have to get reacquainted with God of War Ragnarok‘s lore and gameplay.
The new game picks up right where the previous one left off. And there’s a helpful re-cap option in the main menu.
Nonetheless, refreshing your memory on the story, and wrapping your head around the fast paced action and numerous puzzles can be difficult.
Once the game opens up in Svartalfheim, you will be able to start taking on side quests (called ‘Favours’). One of the first Favours is ‘In Service of Asgard’ and it’s given to you by Mirmir.
‘In Service of Asgard’ involves going to three different mining rigs and destroying them.
However, one of them, Althjof’s Rig, is leaving a lot of players stumped thanks to its complicated puzzle.
So, let’s go over how to get to Althjof’s Rig in God of War Ragnarok…
How To Get To Althjof’s Rig in God of War Ragnarok
Getting to Althjof’s Rig in God of War Ragnarok is probably the most difficult part of the ‘In Service of Asgard’ Favour.
There are multiple steps to follow before you can actually get up to the furnace.
This is how to get to Althjof’s Rig in God of War Ragnarok:
Use the blades of chaos to lower the gantry.
Then turn the wheel on the right to raise the anchor point until it is just above the platform, then use it to jump across.
Next, ignite the barrel next to the red gate on the left using the Blades of Chaos. Turn left and run past the petrified enemies to a wall, climb up it.
At the top, follow the platform round to the right and go through the closed gate. Drop down and ignite the barrel in front of you.
Go through the destroyed gate on the left and climb the marked pillar on your right.
When you reach the platform, look over the ledge and press Circle to destroy the floor below.
Defeat the two enemies then use the Blades on the gantry to raise it up.
Climb out and go back to the wheel at the start. Raise the grapple point by one notch. Go back up to the top and swing across.
Kick down the chain on the right before climbing up.
