So, you’re looking for God of War’s Northri Stronghold? This hidden area near the Lake of Nine is easy enough to stumble across, but impossible to enter if you don’t know what you need to gain entry. Luckily we’re here to give you a helping hand.
If you don’t know where the Northri Stronghold is, you need to go to the northwest corner of the Lake of Nine to Northri Gorge and follow the river until you reach a big gate that blocks your way. But now that you’ve found the entrance way, how do you get in?
The short answer is: you need an entry stone. The long answer is: You need to complete some quests, and then accept a quest called Family Business, which provides you with the entry stone. Which quests, you ask? Well pull up a chair, grab some ale, and we’ll tell you everything you need to know about Northri’s Stronghold, how to get in, and what collectibles you’ll find there.
You need to complete a few quests for Sindrito get into the Northri Stronghold. You need to make sure you’ve completed both the ‘A New Destination’ story mission, and then one of Sindri’s side quests (or favours) called Fafnir’s Hoard.
The following collectibles can be found at Northri Stronghold:
The first Mystic Gateway is along the path into the stronghold after the main gate you unlock with the entry stone. The second one is right next to the shop Sindri sets up inside the stronghold.
