Path to the Mountain - God of War(God of War 4) - Part 3

Once The Stranger is defeated, Kratos decides that even Atreus is not ready, they need to start the journey to the top of the mountain, mainly because their home is not safe anymore.

Start by jumping down to the crevice made by the fight with The Stranger.



After crossing a few ledges and jumping across a few gaps, it's time to start climbing. When at the end of the climb, look right and press circle to jump to the ledge of the cave entrance.


Cross the cave and soon you will come across your first puzzle.

This one is easy to solve.
First let Atreus up to the upper platform. Then use the wheel at the corner of the room to lower down the bridge. Freeze it in place using an axe throw to the glowing circle. Ask Atreus to drop the chain. And lastly get to the upper platform using the chain and across the bridge.

Do not miss the bucket hanging in front and collect the loot.
From here climb more and lower the chain in the middle are to create a shortcut.
Up at the top, a cutscene will play.


Move onto the next area, Wildwood's Edge where you will have to fight a frew Draugrs. A new type of enemy is introduced here, Fire Draugrs. Beware of their projectile attacks. They have very little health. Two more waves of Draugrs will appear, defeat them.

The last wave will have Fire Draugrs perched on higher ledge, throw your Axe to take care of them.

Once all enemies are defeated, read the Rune next to the climbable wall and then climb the wall.
In the next area a new enemy is introduced, The Reaver.

Do not miss the chest in the corner, containing the Light Runic Attack, Hel's Touch. use it by holding L1 and pressing R1.

After moving a rock from your path to make way, a cutscene will take over and Kratos and Atreus will fall down to a lower area.


In this area, you will have to survive two massive fights, first with a group of Draugrs and then after reading the rune with a mix of Draugr and Heavy Draugrs.

Keep calm and keep moving, take care of enemies one at a time. Use Atreus's bow to stun enemies and throw axe to enemies perched on high ledges.

Read the rule pillar and get ready for even a bigger fight.

New enemy, Heavy Draugrs are tougher and do not stagger that easily. Use your newly acquired light runic attack to stun them.  Block their attack at the last moment to stun them. Once stunned pummel them with R1 and R2. Take care of the smaller enemies first and then concentrate on one heavy draugr, while avoiding both of their attacks.


This fight might take a few tries, as the difficulty spike for this fight is quite large.
Once all the enemies are defeated, climb the newly created climbable surface and get introduced to a new type of enemy, The Revenant.

These ladies are relatively easy to defeat. Avoid there ground-based attacks and poison throws. Start running at them and then command Atreus to shoot three arrows. This will make the revenant stunned for a few seconds. Take this opportunity to land a few heavy attacks. Rinse and Repeat.

After the revenant is defeated, climb the wall to the next area. Cross the bridge and go left first where you will need to fight a couple of waves of Draugr and Fire Draugrs.

Read the hidden "More Than Myth" cupboard for lore and check out the upper area for a chest.
