Seek out Huginn in Midgard
This is Atreus' new quest. You will start it after completing your second visit to Vanaheim. Use the Mystic Gateway and you will appear near the hero's hut in Midgard - reach its entrance. You will meet Angrboda.
Find Thor
You will return to Asgard - go to Odin's office.
After the conversation, follow Thrud and reach a large building - Black Thunder. Head toward the large table where Thor is sitting. The fighting will begin, and, due to the small area, use melee attacks with the bow. Use ranged attacks after it is possible to attack enemies from the higher level. One of the enemies will grab Atreus - press X quickly to free yourself.
Actually find the final Mask Fragment
You will once again reach Niflheim. The starting region is The Eternal Chasm and Thor will become your temporary companion.
As before, you have to take the mask out of your inventory every so often (left on the d-pad) and determine where you have to go. You will encounter monsters - Thor can help eliminate some of them.
You will reach the Frozen Caverns region. Defeat next enemies. Take out the mask and turn in the right direction, and Thor will break through the ice block.
You will come across a legendary chest (image). It will contain a gear upgrade for Atreus.
Jump to the other side of the precipice and eliminate the monsters. You will enter the Pale Meadows region.
You have to defeat a Frost Ancient mini-boss. Attack the boss after it exposes its core. You can then use ranged attacks or pick up orbs dropped by the Ancient and throw them.
You must stun the boss - then run up to it and press R3. Regular monsters will also appear in the battle. Quickly eliminate them or let Thor deal with them.
After the fight, take out the mask again - Thor will break through the rocks. Do this again at the next dead end.
You will reach the Mist Fields region and the place where you have to take out the mask for the last time. Press X quickly to find the last fragment and complete the mask. Watch cut-scenes.
There is a Berserker Gravestone in the Mist Fields area, but Atreus cannot start this fight. You can return here as Kratos after finishing the main storyline.
Return to Sindri's when ready
You will go back to Kratos. Go through the portal and enter the Sindri's House. Listen to the meeting at the big table. Interact with the mask and watch cut-scenes.
Get out of the house and reach the Mystic Gateway. The heroes will return to Midgard and you will start a new story quest - Hunting for Solace.
