God of War Ragnarok: How To Get Into Gryla’s House – Jotunheim

This guide explains how to get into Gryla’s house in God of War Ragnarok.

God of War Ragnarok is the sequel to 2018’s acclaimed God of War reboot. After four years, it’s safe to say fans are relishing the chance to jump back into Kratos’ god-sized shoes.

Despite delays and a release on the PS4 that prompted concerns, God of War Ragnarok has launched to astonishingly strong reviews. With ten-out-of-tens abound, it’s clear the game is a standout title for Sony and a worthy successor to the 2018 title.

In the new sequel, we rejoin Kratos and Atreus as they journey to stop the cataclysmic Ragnarok and learn more about the latter’s true identity as the god Loki.

Along the way the father and son duo join forces with some old friends and come up against new, dangerous foes like Thor and Odin.

However, after four years, it can be difficult to remember the story of the previous game and who everyone is.

The same goes for God of War Ragnarok‘s gameplay, too.

Despite sinking tens of hours into the last game, it’s only natural to forget how things work in this follow-up. Be it in combat, navigation, skills, or collectibles.

Like the first game, God of War Ragnarok requires you to solve puzzles in order to progress.

During some sections of the game, you play as Atreus instead of Kratos. And that requires slightly different solutions to the puzzles you come across.

After meeting Angrboda during Atreus’ trip to Jötunheim, the pair encounter her grandmother, Gryla. She has captured a wolf in order to steal its soul. But it’s down to you to save it.

Before you can save the wolf, you first need to get inside Gryla’s house. But, as you’d expect, doing so isn’t that straightforward.

So, let’s go over how to get into Gryla’s house in God of War Ragnarok

How To Get Into Gryla’s House in God of War Ragnarok

In case you hadn’t realised, Gryla is a giant. And while all giants in the God of War universe aren’t typically large – Gryla is massive.

As such, she lives in a particularly big house with a huge front door. However, that front door is locked. So Atreus and Angrboda need to find an alternative way inside.

Thankfully, with a little bit of thought, it is actually quite easy to get inside Gryla’s house.

From the front gate, follow the path to the right, then turn right again and climb up the wall.
