Many players may have stumbled across Lyngbakr Island in God of War Ragnarok and wondered how to get its Legendary Chest.
Well, it’s a part of The Full Weight of Chains Favor, and we’re here to guide you through it.
What Is Lyngbakr Island in God of War Ragnarok?
Lyngbakr Island is a small area found in the middle of the Bay of Bounty within the Svartalfheim realm in God of War Ragnarok.
When you first arrive there, it seems like a small and unassuming island. However, there is far more hidden beneath the ocean, which you can unlock and then explore.
It turns out the island is actually a giant monster called Lyngbakr that Mimir locked up to impress Odin. The Weight of Chains Favor is all about freeing it and undoing Mimir’s past mistakes.
How to Unlock Lyngbakr Island in God of War Ragnarok
A smaller version of Lyngbakr Island is already available in God of War Ragnarok and can be found in the Bay of Bounty in Svartalfheim.
However, by progressing through The Weight of Chains Favor (which you activate by going to Lyngbakr Island), you’ll unlock hidden areas of the island.
You won’t need to progress through the side quest much, as once you’ve unlocked the Watchtower key and headed to the Watchtower, you’ll awaken the Lyngbakr itself.
Where Is the Legendary Chest on Lyngbakr Island?
The Legendary chest on Lyngbakr Island can be found on the South side. However, you cannot access it until you reach the end of The Weight of Chains Favor.
After freeing both fins of the Lyngbakr, sail to the south side. Slide down a rope, and you’ll see the chest right next to the chain holding down the Lyngbakr’s tail.
What Is Inside the Legendary Chest on Lyngbakr Island?
For finding and opening the Legendary chest on Lyngbakr Island, you will receive the following rewards:
- 5x Whispering Slab – Crafting Component
- Rond of Aggravation – Shield Attachment
- Perk – Ripost Rage Burst: Luck chance to grant a Rage Burst when Parrying.
- Stats – 4 Defense, 3 Vitality, 3 Luck
