God of War Ragnarok: How to complete Broken Prison Favor and more explained

sportskeeda.com:

The Broken Prison is a special end-game side quest in God of War Ragnarok that players shouldn’t miss out on. This particular side quest, or Favor as they call in God of War Ragnarok, takes place in the Nilfheim realm once Kratos has completed the main storyline.

The Broken Prison Favor in God of War Ragnarok has quite a few tasks to do, from solving a puzzle to tracking down the location of prisoners. Therefore, this guide will walk you through all the necessary steps to complete the end-game Favor.

Before activating the Broken Prison Favor in God of War Ragnarok, make sure to hit the game credits. Then, head to Niflheim and walk towards the Raven Tree. A new path will appear on the left. The Broken Prison Favor will automatically kick in once Kratos enters the newly discovered path.

The path leads to a prison guarded by Asgardian Soldiers. The Prison is divided into multiple floors, each protected by a bunch of Asgardian Soldiers. Explore some of the prison cells on the first floor to find a Nornir Chest, and another Favor named Nine Realms in Bloom.

Ignore that Favor for now, and head down to the second floor to fight off another wave of enemies. To go further below underneath, Kratos needs to carve out a way for himself.

This is where the puzzle lies. Notice a moving mechanism in the area. Kratos needs to hurl the Draupnir Spear into a designated fissure in the red mechanism, and then move towards the mechanism by swinging across using the stuck spear as a support and landing on the lower platform.

Once there, fend off some enemies and notice a chain in the corner that lowers the moving mechanism further. Repeat the same process of swinging across the stuck Draupnir Spear as support to move into the floor below.

Take care
