Path to the Mountain
After defeating the Stranger, it's time to dive into that great big crack in the earth that the two of you opened up.The Journey - Path to the mountain | Escape the ruins - Starts here

Journey towards the Mountain

Hop down and shimmy along, up, and across the various ledges - if you get stuck look for that classic PlayStation exclusive gold highlighting to show what you can grab onto whilst climbing, and note that when you need to jump across a gap it often requires turning the camera to face the direction you need to go before the Circle button prompt appears.

Soon enough you'll reach an area with several wooden structures and platforms, including another targetable cog straight ahead.

To climb upwards you need to go to the wheel - or is it a winch? - over to the right, looking directly at that circular glowing cog, and lower the bridge. As with the door before, throw an axe at the cog whilst holding the winch to freeze it, leaving the bridge lowered. Atreus can now run across and drop the chain down for you, allowing you to climb up.
Hope up and go left, to get a Hacksilver chest, then cross over the bridge to where Atreus first climbed up, and jump up onto the ledges on the cliff wall. Climb all the way to the top for a lovely spot of horizon-gazing, then turn to your right and continue climbing the wooden structures and on to the next area, the Wildwood's Edge.

The Wildwood's Edge
There are several enemies in this clearing - including some that throw fireball projectiles, that can be blocked or dodged - so beat them up and then, when you're finished, look for the glowing blue text, known as runes, on a rock nearby. When Atreus reads them it'll add some lore to your journal.
Continue towards the Mountain

Continue on - there's a climbable wall just next to those runes - and just ahead will be another of those icy chaps that need a few good punches to be destroyed. Just to the right, after that enemy, is a little alcove with a glowing red chest, containing Hel's Touch - a new Runic Attack. Equip it and watch how to use it in the menu - it's a useful one that, when activated briefly stuns and knocks back nearby enemies, giving you some breathing room in combat.

Follow the path and lift up the fallen pillar for Atreus when prompted, where you'll then see a bridge. Atreus, being Atreus, will almost fall off it, so run over to help and then, when you inevitably both fall and land down below, it's time to prepare for another fight.

This one's a good one - lots of Draugr and some slightly stronger versions of them. You'll likely pop Spartan Rage at some point so use it when it feels appropriate, and try to take out the ranged enemies spouting fire from a raised ledge when you get the chance, to make your life easier.

Escape the Ruins

Collect the various dropped Hacksilver and health orbs and then head for the engraved slab of stone that Atreus is looking at nearby. He'll read the runes, then you need to turn just to the right and towards the bricked wall - and more combat! Take out these meatier dudes and then climb the golden markings on that wall where they appeared from

Kill the Revenant
Soon you'll reach another chamber with a few more statuesque enemies - smash them before they come back to life - and a new type of foe: a Revenant. These can be tricky - they dart around and dodge when you try to attack. To counter them, have Atreus fire an arrow at them, which will stun them for a few moments and allow you to follow up. A heavy axe throw, whilst already stunned by Atreus, will stun them some more so you can really pile on the damage.
