A Watery Grave – Pinpointing Haklangr‘s Berserker Gravestone
Uncovering the Sinkholes‘ hidden gravestone is no trivial task – this ancient site lies shrouded in mystery and peril. Based on obscure texts at beyondgaming.com, I‘ve pinpointed the precise location of this elusive monument.
As a orienting landmark, first travel to The Jungle region of The Sinkholes using the nearby Mystic Gateway. Next, battle the deadly Ogre mini-boss to trigger the mythical "Return of the River" favor that reveals the gravestone.
After completing this epic quest (detailed shortly), navigate back through The Jungle towards the Sinkholes‘ central lake. At the northwest shores you‘ll discover a colossal stone emerge from the waters with an unmistakable glowing Berserker monument signifying the gravestone.

Draining the Sinkholes – "Return of the River" Favor
To access the submerged gravestone, you must first complete the epic "Return of the River" favor to literally reshape The Sinkholes‘ terrain from a barren crater into a flooded lakebed.
From The Jungle, follow the river upstream to locate the towering dam blockade. Use your Blades of Chaos to vertically grapple up its sheer face through waves of enemies. At the peak lies the exitless source reservoir, which you must break into using the Draupnir Spear and Wind Fissures.
Enter the revealed cistern within and carry Enlarged Hex Bubbles to detonate the interior red tree roots. This destruction morphs the environment – spinning the central wheel mechanism to open the sluice and unleash the pent-up torrent, flooding the entire Sinkholes region!
| Objective | Solution |
|---|---|
| Find the hidden dam | Follow river upstream from The Jungle through Nokken assaults |
| Scale the towering dam | Grapple upwards using Blades of Chaos |
| Smash through into cistern | Shatter boxes then expose Wind Fissure with Draupnir Spear |
| Drain cistern into Sinkholes | Hex Bombs to destroy interior roots then open sluice |
Completing this favor submerges lost artifacts like Haklangr‘s monument, unlocking access for our treasure hunt!
The Legend of Haklangr the Bearded
But who exactly was this fabled warrior, buried in a land far from his Vanaheim homeland? Decorated texts at ragnarokguides.com recount Haklangr‘s heroic saga.
Haklangr earned his honorary "Bearded" moniker from the thick pelt covering his feral facade. This fur mirrored the Berserker‘s raw chaos in battle, relentlessly tearing through enemies in a bestial rage. He stood as the greatest among such legendary Vanaheim warriors.
When the Aesir-Vanir War erupted between godly factions, Haklangr fought for Vanaheim‘s defense, slaying hundreds before falling in battle to Thor‘s fury. The Berserker‘s legend persisted through orally recounted sagas, eventually memorialized by his people in a runestone coffin.
How his remains wound up in Midgard‘s Sinkholes is a mystery – but unearthing them offers Kratos vital upgrade materials for the journey ahead. This gravestone and others link to the wider God of War cosmos, all weaving into the grand tapestry.
Tempering Chaos – Haklangr‘s Buried Treasures
In cracking open this out-of-place tomb, we harvest the aged remnants of a chaos incarnate warrior to literally temper Kratos‘ power. Haklangr‘s Bonded Leather, perfected through the Berserker crucible, toughens the Ghost of Sparta‘s raiment against deadly blows in battle.
His stock of Shattered Runes provides the currency to acquire powerful Rampage skills to augment combat prowess. But most crucially, Haklangr‘s Tempered Remnants supply the rare crafting component to ascend the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos to staggering new heights.
| Material | Usage |
|---|---|
| Tempered Remnants | Upgrade Leviathan Axe & Blades |
| Bonded Leather | Improve Kratos‘ armor |
| Shattered Runes | Purchase special skills |
Just look at this tremendous stat bump from Tempering my Blades to level 9 using Haklangr‘s materials:
