One of God of War Ragnarok’s many puzzles, the Jarnsmida Pitmines puzzle has a lot of steps to it, so we’re here you walk you through all of them.
Start by boosting Atreus up onto the higher platform and you’ll jump across to where a level is. Push Square to command him to pull it and a platform will drop that lets you jump across. The problem is it won’t stop moving, but luckily there’s and exposed gear nearby that’ll let you freeze the platform in place.

Get onto the next platform and you’ll need to use your blades to pull on a grapple point and rotate a trough, which will raise a concrete block that’s preventing you from moving on.
Drop down past the block before getting up onto the next platform and you’ll see the trough has water flowing out of it. Use your ax to freeze the water and stop it from flowing. A concrete block will be lowered into place so you can grapple onto it. Once you’re on top, recall your axe and let the water raise you up. Here you’ll be able to reunite with Atreus just past a gate.
Go to the other side and you’ll need to move some carts out of the way. Once you do, Sindri will show up and give you a light source, which you’ll need to progress. You can enter the mines from here, but you’ll want to grab the Kvasir’s Poem and other goodies nearby first.
As you’re about to enter the mines you’ll be attacked, but they shouldn’t give you too much trouble. Once they’re out of the way, head over to what you moved the cart and you’ll find a grapple point. Using it will turn a water trough, which in-turns spins a crane around.
There’s some debris nearby with an explosive jar next to it. Throw your ax to blow it up and clear the way, then head back the way you came – as far as the gate where you met Atreus after the earlier puzzle. You’ll now be able to hook on the block of concrete you used to lift you up before. After you’ve done that, freeze the water flow once more and watch the crane turn again. It will now reveal the Kvasir’s Poem and other loot.
