This guide explains how to get down to the chest at Cliffside Ruins in God of War Ragnarok.

It has been four years since the release of 2018’s God of War. After that game set such a tremendously high bar and left fans on one almighty cliffhanger, it has been difficult to see how God of War Ragnarok could possibly meet expectations.

Thankfully, God of War Ragnarok has delivered an all-time classic experience. And this sterling sequel is bound to be in contention with Elden Ring for 2022 Game of the Year. It currently stands at a colossal 94/100 on Metacritic having received many 10 out of 10 reviews.

God of War Ragnarok follows father and son duo Kratos and Atreus, the latter now a teenager, as they battle to stop Ragnarok with Fimbulwinter drawing to a close.

The new game picks up right where the previous one left off. And there’s a helpful re-cap option in the main menu.

However, being as a few years have passed since the last game was released, it is likely fans will have to get reacquainted with God of War Ragnarok‘s lore and gameplay.

Despite the recap wrapping your head around the fast paced action and numerous puzzles can be difficult.

After you’ve successfully reunited Freya with her brother, Kratos and Freya set off for Vanaheim’s Southern Wilds.

The Southern Wilds are well worth visiting because they contain a plethora of great loot.

As always, most of the loot is contained within special chests. One such chest is located at the Cliffside Ruins and can be found after progressing through the Veiled Passage.

However, getting down to the chest isn’t easy as the path is blocked.

So, let’s go over how to get down to the chest at Cliffside Ruins…

How To Get Down To Chest at Cliffside Ruins in God of War Ragnarok

In God of War Ragnarok, there are a number of methods the game uses to prevent you from accessing certain areas and chests without a little forethought.

One way it achieves this is by placing golden rocks in your path. These can be cleared with an explosion, but it isn’t always immediately obvious how to cause the explosion.

For this chest in particular, you need to make use of Freya.

This is how to get down to the chest at Cliffside Ruins in God of War Ragnarok:

Look to the left and you will see a raised bridge. Lower it using the chain on the right side and cross over.
