This guide explains how to get to the door in The Applecore in God of War Ragnarok.
God of War Ragnarok is the sequel to 2018’s acclaimed God of War reboot. After four years, it’s safe to say fans are relishing the chance to jump back into Kratos’ god-sized shoes.
Despite delays and a release on the PS4 that prompted concerns, God of War Ragnarok has launched to astonishingly strong reviews. With ten-out-of-tens abound, it’s clear the game is a standout title for Sony and a worthy successor to the 2018 title.
In the new sequel, we rejoin Kratos and Atreus as they journey to stop the cataclysmic Ragnarok and learn more about the latter’s true identity as the god Loki.
Along the way the father and son duo join forces with some old friends and come up against new, dangerous foes like Thor and Odin.
However, after four years, it can be difficult to remember the story of the previous game and who everyone is.
The same goes for God of War Ragnarok‘s gameplay, too.
Despite sinking tens of hours into the last game, it’s only natural to forget how things work in this follow-up. Be it in combat, navigation, skills, or collectibles.
Like the first game, God of War Ragnarok requires you to solve puzzles in order to progress.
When you reach The Applecore, you come across puzzles involving waterwheels and chutes that need to be solved to get to doors to the next area.
In fact, there are two of these puzzles – so, two doors. And while both are similar, they require different solutions.
So, let’s go over how to get to the doors in The Applecore in God of War Ragnarok…
How To Get To The Door in The Applecore in God of War Ragnarok
As mentioned, there are two of these puzzles. Both of which have a door at the end that you need to reach.
This is how to get to the door in The Applecore in God of War Ragnarok:
How To Get To The First Door In The Applecore
Go down to the right and climb up the chain.
Climb up again and walk left to the end of the platform. Use the Blades of Chaos to block the chute.
Return to the starting point and use the Axe to freeze the end of the chute on the left.
Next, use the risen grapple point to swing across. Finally, look up to the right and freeze the adjacent chute to lower the lift/elevator, go inside, then recall the axe to raise it again.
How To Get To The Second Door In The Applecore
But, wait – there’s more!
Soon after progressing through the first door, you will come across a second puzzle you need to complete.
From the platform, turn around and jump down to the area on your right.
Send Atreus up the ledge onto the walkway above. Go back to the start and look at the chute on the left.
Freeze the water next to the right wheel. Then press Square to instruct Atreus to turn the wheel on the left. This sends rocks down the chute which will become stuck on the ice.
Recall the axe then use it to freeze the water on the chute on the right just above the wheel. This will raise the grapple point, use it to swing across.
Finally, use Atreus’ arrows to clear the blockage you created in the chute, this will move the platform to the door.
