Once you can't go any further on the walkway, make sure to look down where the glowing sword is before you drop. Use the handholds to make your way over to the ledge on the left with the sword. You can still get it if you fall.

  • Rune Piece 4. Blue - Same area as the last, on the left side of the rolling stone your thanes move, look on the lower level for the piece in the corner.
  • Rune Piece 5. Red - To the right of the same rolling stone, drop in the water and break the boat to get the piece behind it. Now go move that rolling stone.
  • Rune Piece 6. Red - In this next area, you’re given the objective to “Kill The Worshippers”. There is a piece around the right side of the rocks once you enter the area.
  • Rune Piece 7. Red - In same area, go to the far left of the area and look for a breakable pillar. There’s a rune behind it.
  • Rune Piece 8. Blue – After you defeat the troll, have your Thanes open the door with the rotating wheel. Enter and look to the left on the ground before the water.

EPISODE 6 – Beyond the Barrow

 

  • Rune Piece 9. Blue (5) - Tent area. After doing the objective "hunt the priestesses", look around for an L-shaped boat dock to find a piece.
  • Rune Piece 10. Blue - Tent area. Look for some water which is shaped like a C around an outcrop of land. There is a piece by the water in white sand by a hut.

Use the key on the statue in the tent area and drop into the water in the new area. There will be a little island in the very beginning with a piece on it.
  • Rune Piece 14, 15, THANE PRISONER & LEGENDARY SHIELD. Blue & Red - Climb up and have your Thanes open the door in this area to find the Legendary Shield, a Thane prisoner, and two rune pieces, one of which is underneath some rubble.
  • Rune Piece 16. Red - Back down in the water, there will be a destructible pillar in a nook with a piece behind it.

  • Rune Piece 18. Blue - Free the large boulder to use the rotating wheel to lower the bridge. Cross the bridge and the piece is on the ground along the right side behind a fence.
  • Rune Piece 19. Red (10) – To the right of the next boulder, you can climb the ledge. Walk down and look behind the weapons rack.
  • Rune Piece 20 & THANE PRISONER. Blue (10) – From the same ledge as the last, jump up to shimmy across to a ledge to the other side above the boulder. There is a piece on the ground next to the prisoner.

  • Rune Piece 23. Red – Continue up the same path. Look to the right next to a basket before the 2 boulders. This is where the bridge will connect after you lower it.

Jump up and grab the handholds and make your way to the right until you shimmy over and jump up to a ledge for the two pieces.

  • Rune Piece 28 & THANE PRISONER. Blue (15) - With your new magic item, you can use your Thanes to open up a door with the rotating wheel. Go through that door and follow the path back to an earlier part of the stage to the rolling stone after Rune # 21. Return to the blue rotating wheel. (Heroic Collector Achievement) (Prison Break Achievement)

  • Rune Piece 29 & LEGENDARY AXE. Red – Stand in front of the door you opened with the blue rotating wheel. Look to the right and at the boat below, climb down and shimmy right. Run to the end of the path and climb up the wall, shimmy, and climb to the top. (Legendary Collector Achievement)

This rewrite was done by “E vee dub” on 14 November 2009, because the original lacked simplicity, grammar and some important info. The skeleton of this guide was inspired by “NumberUno”. This is no attempt to take away from that bit of work. So credit goes to him or her for his or her work.

Notes & Tips:

- Hit the back button and look at items. You only need 15 blue and 15 red runes for each achievement. There are 16 of each.

- Use the Heroic call early and often for the Morale Gasser achievement.

- Use caution with Carnal state, you can hit your teammates. So don’t kill all your Thanes or Wiglaf. They get in the way a lot.

- Thane difficulty is the easiest. Steal lots of weapons when playing through for the Weapon Theft achievement.

- Items and upgrades do not carry over to another play through. So try and concentrate either on Carnal for Thane Difficulty and Heroic for Legend Difficulty. Go for Carnal on the easier play through.

- Your # of Heroic Storms, Blocks, Broken Objects, and Stolen Weapons will carry over to your next play through, granted you're using the same save device.

 

It's better to get all the items as you play through.

 

After you defeat Hela, you will return to Herot. You can speak with the man on the balcony and choose either of the two areas with the items, and revisit them. But the guide is written along with the direction of the game.

 

You cannot kill the random enemies in the area and level up.

Thank-you for this list!

 

I sure as hell didn't want to put in the time looking for them with this awfull game!

 

You know there are red ( Carnal ) weapons in the game. Did you list just the blue ones to get the Achievement or has no-one compiled them yet?

 

The only one I found was the red hammer at the beginning of the Frost level.

 

 

 

 

I'm not believing it's possible to max out the carnal aspect, stupid thanes keep getting in the way of everything.

 

Protecting a stationary object. Bad design. Period.

 

A Viking protecting a cross? Not bloody likely! They'd be the ones smashing it, pissing on it, then swaggering off having a good laugh.

Rune Piece 28 & THANE PRISONER. Blue (15) - With your new magic item, you can use your Thanes to open up a door with the rotating wheel. Go through that door and follow the path back to an earlier part of the stage to the rolling stone after Rune # 21. Return to the blue rotating wheel. (Heroic Collector Achievement) (Prison Break Achievement)

 

Im rather stuck understanding this?

 

"Go through that door and follow the path back to an earlier part of the stage to the rolling stone after Rune # 21. Return to the blue rotating wheel."

 

Theres no rolling stone? Also where is he?

does anyone know if you can go back and get ALL weapons and runes when just after hela, when you can go back to the two locations available on the map, or will it require a second playthrough? i know i have to do a second playthrough anyway, but was hoping to go back from here.
