In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Into the Fire main path chapter of God of War Ragnarok. An unlikely duo, Thor and Atreus travel to the fiery realm of Muspelheim to track down a mask fragment for the All-Father himself.

As Into the Fire is part of the main path, it’s story rich. We’re keeping spoilers and major story elements to a minimum, but for the purpose of guiding you through the mission, there are a few in there. You’ve been warned.

Search for the Mask Fragment with Thor

Pull out the mask and move towards the large rock on the left. Thor will clear a path through the rubble on the left. Step forward to reach the Burning Cliffs area of Muspelheim. Fight the Draugr (remember you can press Square and Circle to get some help from Ingrid) then point the mask up at the cliff at the end of the path, which Atreus thinks is worth climbing. Thor will kindly fly Atreus up.

✓ Tip

Equipping the Mask will point you in the direction you need to go. If in doubt as to what to do next, pull out the Mask.

Fight the enemies there. Loot the red coffin at the back and the chest beyond the crawl space on the right of the arena for some hacksilver and other loot. Point the mask at the rocks on the left. Thor obliges and clears the path next to the lava fall. Push forward, following the path upwards. Shimmy across the ledge and take on the Draugr and Cursed Tatzelwurms ahead. Use the mask then go to Thor to jump down. Then repeat. Fight off the enemies in the large area. Thor will leave to take on the Muspelheim challenges, leaving you to explore alone.

Investigate Surtr’s Shrine

Crawl through the gap and head towards the shrine. Climb across the cliff, then down. Take on the Wisps, relying on Ingrid to clear out the enemies. Destroy the pillar on the left as a priority to prevent more spawning. Loot the chest to the right, then open the shrine. Use the Mask near the lava then retrieve it by hitting Circle repeatedly.

Resume the Search for the Mask Fragment

Backtrack to the arena to find Thor. Defeat all the enemies. Thor won’t be any help, so you’re on your own. Go left up the path once Thor’s cleared the rocks and follow it to the end.

Go Back to Atreus’ Headquarters

Once back in Asgard, head back to Atreus’ room. Before leaving Odin’s cave, loot the Legendary chest for the Runic Capacity accessory and grab the hacksilver pouches dotted around the Rift.
