Find all four Rune Reads on Tyr's statue fragments in Midgard to complete the Guiding Light favor and earn the Guiding Light armor set and enchantments.
Walkthrough
- 1You can start this favor during Kratos’s first trip to Midgard during the main quest The Word of Fate, or any time you have the freedom to explore afterwards.
- 2Find the four Rune Reads on fragments of Tyr's statue. Examining these Rune Reads starts and/or advances the favor.
- 3Rune Read - Tyr’s Left Bracer: Starting from the Lake of Nine Mystic Gateway, turn southeast and follow the edge of the rocks, ice and rubble until you see some golden wraps among the debris to the north. Search these bands to find the Rune Read.
- 4Rune Read - Tyr’s Helmet: Northeast of Tyr’s Temple, just north of the Raider Stronghold, you’ll find a massive gold helmet on the surface of the lake. Head into the helmet and search the interior of the cheek guard to find the Rune Read.
- 5Rune Read - Tyr’s Spear: Search south of the bridge that leads to Tyr’s Temple (found on the eastern edge of Tyr’s Temple), just east of where the frozen lightning bolt from Thor and Kratos’s clash can be found. Examine the glowing blue runes on the ruins to get the Rune Read.
- 6Rune Read - Tyr’s Right Bracer: From Tyr’s Temple head north, northeast (between the realm towers at roughly 12-o’clock and 1-o’clock), jump over a wooden beam, then push a stone pillar out of the way. Crawl through the rubble to the west and when you emerge, search north of the rubble to find some brambles. Burn them away and you’ll find the Rune Read.
- 7Once you’ve examined all four Rune Reads, the favor should automatically complete.
Tips
- Each Rune Read is also a Lore collectible.
- You can find a buried treasure near each Rune Read. These contain pieces of the Guiding Light armor set (one piece per Rune Read) and an enchantment for your amulet.
- The buried treasures do not count towards the completion of this favor, only the Rune Reads do.
- The Rune Reads count as both Lore collectibles and Guiding Light collectibles for Midgard completion percentage.
- Guiding Light Armor Set (Gauntlets, Breastplate, Waist Guard)
- Amulet Enchantment (Jotunheim’s Essence)
