The road to Fargrimr's village

1. Chapter 3 of the story will greet you with a view of three heroes wandering through the Icelandic wilderness. After descending the hill, stop for a moment at a signpost made of a thick branch stuck in a pile of stones. There are several interesting collectibles in the area.

1. Turn sharply right and go to a small gorge between the rocks. At the end of the road, on the left side, you will find another stone face and a hidden passage leading to a collectible.

1. Return to the signpost and this time go left. After a while, you come across the ruins of a hut, torn in half by a fissure in the ground. Behind the building, you will find a large, red rock. Go around it and in one of the patch branches you will find another stone face. Importantly, there is also another Lorestangir not far to the right. Thus, you have already found 3 collectibles at the very beginning of the chapter.

1. Return to the main path and follow your companions to the village visible on the horizon. However, your peaceful walk will be disturbed by the twilight and the awakening of a giant. In the dynamic escape sequence, your task will be to run forward and avoid obstacles appearing in front of you (press the interaction key before each one).

1. Your escape will culminate in a face-to-face encounter with the terrible Illtauga. However, Thorgestr's intervention will save you from the peril. After retreating to the high rocks, Senua experiences a nightmarish flashback again.

Sequence in the nightmare forest

1. Senua will find herself in a dark forest. Follow the main path, listening to the demonic voice of the mysterious, hooded figure. At some point, a semi-transparent wall will block your way. To the right of it, you will find a narrow passage between the rocks.

1. In the side path, you will find a burning torch. Pick it up (interact button) and take it to the crystal wall. The glow of fire will shatter the shell and enable you to move forward.

1. A little further you will come across a clearing among the trees, where you will fight crystal enemies again. Use with the power of the mirror to defeat them.

1. After the fight, you will have to choose one of several diverging paths. Choosing the wrong one will cause the red glow to engulf the heroine and send her back to the glade. You can recognize bad paths by the growl and red flashes coming from them. The correct passage should be straight ahead from the steep bank.

1. As you proceed, an ominous voice will extinguish the heroine's torch. However, you can rekindle it once you reach the next clearing. There you will also fight another set of enemies. After defeating them, choose one of the paths not emanating the red glow.

1. Once you reach the stake, light it (F on your keyboard or B on your controller). A cinematic cutscene ends the sequence in the forest and Senua returns to reality.

On the way to the Hiddenfolk hideout

1. Fargrimr will give the heroine a briefing on the most important information about the Giants and will send her on a mission to find the the Hiddenfolk. Before leaving the village, turn right from Fargrimr's hut and go around the settlement. At the top of the building, you will discover another of the Lorestangir.

1. Follow the path leading down the slope. After passing a small pond on the right side of the road, pay attention to the left side of the path. A little further you will find another stone face and a tree hidden behind it. As you go further down, you will eventually come across the first riddle prepared by the Hiddenfolk.

How to solve the puzzles of the Hiddenfolk?

1. Upon reaching the area with mysterious pedestals, your path will be blocked by a gate. To open it, you will need to solve a puzzle.

1. Enter the alley to the left of the gate and pick up the orb lying on the pedestal. The space around you will undergo a transformation and you will suddenly find yourself underground. Take the orb to the pedestal in front of the gate.

1. Activating the mechanism will send an artifact resembling a water-filled bubble into the air. By standing directly in front of it and using Focus, certain elements of the environment will change their position. This will open a passage for you leading to the next orb.

1. The second orb can be found at the end of the narrow path. Take the artifact to the pedestal in the center. The first puzzle will be solved, and you will return to the surface. Continue the journey after opening the gate.

1. As you continue along the path, look at the white rocks on the right side of the road. Among them, you will find another stone face.

1. Before the narrowing and the stone tunnel, turn left for a moment and climb onto the white rock shelf. At the end of the side path, you will find another Lorestangir.

1. A moment later you will reach the second puzzle. Pick up the orb from the pedestal on the small hill and bring it to the circle.

1. Activate the bubble to the right of center. This will open a bridge for you. Walk over it and then activate another bubble that will bring the pedestal with the orb to the ground.

1. You can now return to the central circle and refocus on the first bubble. The fog will lift, and through the created passage you will reach the second orb. Take it to the place in the central part of the room.

1. Activate the last bubble on the left. Climb onto the rock ledge thus created and activate the same bubble again, this time from the other side. Take the orb and use focus on the bubble for the third time. Go back the same way, put the last orb in place and it will open a passage.

1. Continue your journey until you reach a larger area with ponds on both sides of the path. Right in front of them you will see white rock ledges that you can climb onto. On a small hill, you will find a stone head.

1. Before entering the red stone gorge, turn left and go through the narrowing. At the end of the path, you will find a Lorestangir.

1. Just a few more steps along the main path, on the right you will find a small tunnel. Enter it, and a little further you will find another Lorestangir.

How to enter the Hiddenfolk hideout?

1. Continuing further along the main path, you will come across the area of the third puzzle. Pick up the orb on the lake shore. Put it on a pedestal.

1. Activate the bubble that will appear right in front of you. This will enable you to get the second orb from the hill on your right side.

1. Reactivate the first bubble so I can focus on the third orb. Go to the small hill at the back of the cave and activate the bubble.

1. Climb the rocky platform right behind you, using the rock ledge on the left. Activate the third bubble, which will open a passage on the opposite side of the cave. A second later, a group of Draugr will attack you, so get ready to fight.

1. After eliminating the danger, go back to the second bubble and activate it. The passage by the cave wall is now open for business.

1. Enter along the created path. Before you pick up the last orb, look at the ceiling in the corner of the cave. You will find a Lorestangir hanging upside down.

1. Collect the last orb and take it to the pedestal. The puzzle has been completed.

1. In an impressive show, the waters of the lake will part, and a passage to the hideout of the Hiddenfolk will open before Senua. Enter the cave and collect the torch at the entrance along the way. With this, chapter 3 will come to an end.
