God of War Ragnarok: All Nornir Chests Locations

God of War Ragnarok has a plethora of nornir chests for players to open up and explore, and with the chests being scattered all over the realms, it might become quite the tedious job to unlock and locate the ruins for each of them, therefore, in my God of War Ragnarok All Nornir Chests guide, I uncover all the locations in detail! 

Aurvanger Wetlands First Chest 

Kicking things off with the first chest, while docking the boat when reaching the aurvanger wetlands for the first time, make your way over to the beach. From there, freeze the geysers with your axe abilities, and pan your camera to the right, which will allow you to see the Nornir Chest present in front of you.

Pan your camera to the right, and you will be able to freeze the geyser present in front of you. From there, head up the platform, and the first rune will be present a bit to the left underneath a small tree, which will be the R Rune. 

Now, if you head back and stand near the edge of the platform, you will be able to locate the F rune present in front of you right near the bottom of the platform on top of a geyser.

The final rune will be present on the smaller island that is behind the nornir chest. 

Aurvanger Wetlands Second Chest

For the second chest, start boating underneath the smaller hole in between the cliffsides and duck to boat your way through. When you’re done ducking and get out of there, you can dock your boat at the beach, and when you get off, you will be able to see the nornir chest present in front of a few wheels that are broken down. 

For the first rune, start heading over to the geyser from where the water is gushing out, and aim your axe at the right target. And hit it again from a bit further away to rotate it once more.
