God of War Ragnarök: The Applecore water puzzle solution – The Search for Tyr

The Applecore water puzzle blocks your path during The Search for Tyr in God of War Ragnarök. We’ll tell you how to get through it.

Tyr is not the easiest figure to find in God of War Ragnarök, and during your search for him, you’ll have to head deep into the mines. Along the way, you’ll find a water-based puzzle that could leave you scratching your head, so we’ll help you out with the solution.

You’ll see a large gap with a claw underwater, along with a series of troughs and waterwheels above. All of these will help you get where you need to go.

First up you need to throw your axe toward the water wheel on the left, where there’s a trough right above it. Hitting the mark will raise the claw, letting you get across to the other side and face an elevator. Turn your back on that elevator and freeze the trough that’s up and to the left, which will lower the elevator. Get on it and recall your axe to let it raise you up.

As you get a little further into Applecore you’ll find a similar puzzle, with Atreus on a switch while you sort the rest out.

Freeze the trough on your left in front of the waterwheel and command Atreus to pull the switch. It will send some ore deposits to your block of ice that will stay in place when you recall the ax. Now you can target a different trough without the first waterwheel resetting.

Then you have to freeze the trough on your right by the other waterwheel, bringing up the claw once more for you to get across. Now command Atreus to fire a sonic arrow at the stones, which will clear the ores you were using to hold the first waterwheel in place, which will move the platform and reunite you with Atreus.
