Approaching the Rune-Locked Gate
Upon entering the Draugar settlement, you’ll quickly come across a rune-locked gate that bars your path forward. This barrier, guarded by a hanging body, serves as a testament to the horrors that have befallen this place. To bypass this obstacle, you must locate and decipher the three runes that will unlock the gate, each one carefully hidden within the ruins.
Solving The First Draugar Rune Puzzle In Hellblade 2
As you turn around from the rune-locked gate and retrace your steps back through the main path of the settlement, you’ll notice a body tied to a post, its crimson hue standing out against the drab surroundings. Carefully observe the angle of the post branching off from the body, as well as the distant post leaning in the opposite direction. By backing away and aligning your perspective, you’ll be able to spot the first rune, which resembles a combination of a T and a Y, known as the Algiz rune.
Utilizing Focus to Reveal the Rune
To lock in on the Algiz rune, make use of the “focus” feature on your controller, which will allow you to hone in on the rune and commit its shape to memory. This technique of playing with perspective and using the focus ability will be crucial throughout your quest to uncover the remaining runes.
Locating the Second Rune
From the first rune’s location, turn around once more and head into the second house on your right. Snake your way through the building and emerge onto a road to the right, where you’ll spot a ledge in the distance. Follow the winding path, passing another house, until you reach the ledge. Looking toward the rune-locked gate, use your focus ability again to spot the second rune, which takes the shape of a K.
Navigating the Twisting Pathways
The journey to the second rune requires you to navigate a series of twisting pathways, doubling back and snaking through the houses to reach the desired vantage point. This attention to detail and willingness to explore the environment will be essential as you continue your search for the final rune.
Finding the Third and Final Rune
Backtrack from the second rune’s location and make your way to the center of the settlement, passing a burned-out area on your left. Approach the rune-locked gate once more, but this time, take a left and follow the fence line. Proceed through the destroyed wall of the nearby house and ascend the ladder on the right. Step out and take a few steps to the right, turn left to locate the third and final rune, a backward-K shape.
Unlocking the Rune-Locked Gate
With the three runes in hand, return to the rune-locked gate and input the correct sequence, breaking the barrier that has stood in your path.
