As players work through their journey in God of War Ragnarok, they will be met with many obstacles and puzzles, many of which won't have answers the first time they are encountered. The Nornir Chest in The Forge, located in Svartalfheim, is a key example of this. Players will not be able to complete this Nornir Chest until they're on The Path called on Forging Destiny where they'll acquire an item to open it.
You cannot open this Nornir Chest on your first time seeing it. Do not read further unless you wish to read spoilers on how to open it.

Once players have the required item, they can return to this location to complete the Chest. There are three Runes that must be impaled with said item and then exploded at the same time.
