Clark Fork River Fishing Report

Found in the semi-open world lake area of Svartalfheim, The Weight of Chains revolves around a massive aquatic creature as large as a small island that's been trapped in chains in that same spot for an interminably long time. If you're looking for an epilogue-style chapter at the end of God of War Ragnarok's story, this is it. This quest is also where you'll find Lunda's armour set, which might not be what you'll want to wear when you're heading into battle with the likes of King Hrolf or Gna, but definitely serves as one of the best armour sets you'll find in the early hours of the game. Don't worry, this isn't some sort of gotcha for an "inaccuracy" or attempt at a mythical Mythbusters episode. The Vanaheim crater is home to many excellent side quests, one of which we spoke of earlier, and another one that stands out is Return of the River, which sees Kratos opening up a massive damn in the area and allowing the river to flow back in. Sure, Kratos already took down a Kraken in God of War II, but it's still cool to see that there are differing interpretations of this sea monster even back in the day.

I saw enough titanic sea creature bile when I had to row through the World Serpent in God of War 2018, thank you very much. Interspersed throughout its solidly designed puzzles and combat encounters are bits and pieces of information on Sigrun's past and her family, and it's heartening to witness how Mimir takes in all of this. The Hafgufa has also been associated with the well-known mythological beast the Kraken, with some translators translating Hafgufa to Kraken in their interpretations of these texts. It shows that Kratos does have his fated death on his mind and wishes to make good memories with Atreus, but his terminally stoic nature also prevented his son from fully understanding and engaging with the moment until the very end. On the northern edges of the Barrens in Alfheim, you'll find the titular Elven sanctum that serves as the backdrop for this side quest- and there's quite a bit to like here. It's a thrilling and incredibly rewarding gauntlet of boss fights, ending with an exhausting (in a good way) duel with King Hrolf, probably the second most challenging fight in the entire game. The payoff, too, is incredible- if a little heartbreaking. Another early side quest, and another unmissable ones- though maybe for different reasons to the other ones we've spoken about.

But looking at these changes gives us a small glimpse into the process of adaptation and how artists blend different visual inspirations and themes into a compelling new whole. Of course, the boss fights against the dragons at the end of both quests also serve as a great way to close things out. The name "Hafgufa" crops up in a few Norse cultures with different forms, including the Old Norse text the Prose Edda, thought to be compiled by Snorri Sturluson around the 13th century in Iceland. One of the longest side questlines in the game, but also one that's likely to be a fan-favourite.

The dialogue interactions between Kratos and Atreus, played brilliantly by Christopher Judge and Sunny Suljic, are a great example of how the first Hafgufa favor is elevated. It begs a philosophical question of whether this form of clone-rebirth constitutes actual immortality, an interesting comparison to the immortal but all-too-humanly fallible gods we play as and fight against in these games. One of God of War Ragnarok's best side quest becomes available very early on in the game. The value of side quests in games has grown exponentially over the last decade or so, and we see games with excellent, engaging side content with great frequency now. Hearing Atreus question why they're going on this journey and slaughtering light and dark elves yet again, only to realize that Kratos was doing it just to spend some time with his son, is sweet but a little heartbreaking. It is, of course, a great way to say goodbye to the fan-favourite character, but there's some other interesting narrative developments in the quest of all, especially thanks to an appearance from Sindri (who's still very, very pissed off about the death of his brother). Kratos and Freya chance upon a shattered piece of Asgard in Niflheim, an abandoned Aesir prison that not only serves as an excellent backdrop for the quest, but also culminates in the rescue of the real Tyr.

Soon afterward, of course, the game reveals that Birgir is actually arrives. Seeing the two Hafgufa reunite and sing together is a beautifully bittersweet moment, especially since we learn from prior dialogue that they will perish after they mate and "pass on their light to their children" as Freya puts it, which does indeed happen if you see the second favor through. Here, we're going to talk about a few of those side quests that stood out to us the most. FREYA'S MISSING PEACE. Yet another early side quest, and yet another one that makes a strong impression in Ragnarok's initial hours. Most players will be motivated to free the creature soon because most of Alfheim is covered in violent sandstorms where you can hardly see in front of you. Learning the story about the part Mimir had to play in the creature's imprisonment in his younger days and the regret he feels over that makes for an incredible backbone for this short story, while Kratos' insistence on helping free the creature, given his own past experiences with endless servitude, adds more steel to the storytelling. And what do you know, this sidequest was so nice, they made it twice! We may see ourselves above these base natural instincts, but even the gods in the story, like Freya who directly says she would make the same sacrifice, end up going down similar paths regardless of where they see themselves on the food chain. SCENT OF SURVIVAL and FOR VANAHEIM! Kratos and Freya head to Svartalfheim, where they attend Brok's funeral. In the Song of the Sands favor you free a massive jellyfish creature they call a Hafgufa, which has trapped itself in dark elf hive matter while burrowing underground.

Sure, the quest itself is a short one, but you learn some very interesting things about the Elves- in particular, the war between the Light and Dark Elves. It names the Hafgufa in a list of whale-like creatures but doesn't have much more description. The Mysterious Orb isn't heavy on exposition or narrative revelations, but it does focus on Lunda, who you can't help but be constantly amused by (if only for the amazing way she speaks). While most of the other quests we've spoken about so far have had a strong narrative side to them, these two stand on their feet purely on the back of excellent design in terms of both puzzles and exploration. The king in this text even theorizes that only two Hafgufa exist in the world and may be infertile, an interesting connection to the Hafgufa in Ragnarok. Immediately upon returning to Freyr's camp, you kick off the "Scent for Survival" side quest, which instantly unlocks the crater area- which, in turn, unlocks the side quest where you rescue Birgir.

This is one of the game's many post-game side quests, and it's one you'd be remiss to skip.
