You’ll enter a room at the top of a winding staircase with two statues. The right-hand statue is standing straight, while the left-hand one is off its base, leaning slightly. You need to fix this in order to open the door.

First, you need to get Atreus to fire sonic arrows at the base of the statue. The burst will cause it to lean to the right, mirroring the left-hand statue. Then you can use the Blades of Chaos to pull that statue to the left, which will give you a route to climb up behind it. Do so and you’ll find a way to grapple across the hall, landing behind the other statue.

Call on Atreus’ sonic arrows once more and the already leaning statue will go even further, use your chains again to yank it over to the other side. Once you do, you’ll notice a connector, throw your ax at it to break it, at which point one of the wings will fall off. Throw your ax once more, this time at the shield with the twilight stone on it and the other wing will break off, letting the statue lean forward.

Swing back over to the other side of the room and look at the shield. From here, you’ll be able to throw your ax to hit the stone near the exit, which should open the path forward.
