Alberich Hollow is a region of Svartalfheim that can only be accessed after you've progressed through the story and completed the Forging Destiny main quest. It's accessed via the enormous wooden walkway that extends over Dragon Beach, although there is a shoreline to the North you can also access (there's a Coffin on the beach behind the ice seal). The enemies you face here will be your typical Svartalfheim beasties: Grims, Wretches and Bergsras. Importantly, the end of the tunnel will have you face a Grim strong enough to be considered a boss character: Ormstunga.

Alberich Hollow - Legendary Chest 1[]
- Contains: Yggdrasil Seed - Muspelheim Seed Half
This Legendary Chest is found just before you enter the tunnel in Alberich Hollow via the giant walkway on Dragon Beach. From the huge dwarf statue, head left downhill and you'll have to fight some Cursed Grims and a Bergsra. Once they're down, note the Legendary Chest on the right-hand wall encased in gold rock. Look for a lava rock dispenser ahead and on the left-hand wall: grab one and chuck it at the gold rocks to free the chest. The chest contains half of the Muspelheim Yggdrasil Seed. If you haven't already, go to Modvinir's Rig on the Western side of this bay to collect the other half: that’ll let you travel to Muspelheim.
Alberich Hollow - Odin’s Raven 1[]
- Prerequisite: Complete the Forging Destiny main quest
This Odin's Raven is found shortly after the Legendary chest in Alberich Hollow, which is in the tunnel to the left of the giant dwarf statue. Here, you'll find a lava rock dispenser: use it to destroy the wall of gold rocks ahead. Just past the wall of gold rocks is a tree on the left-hand side: the Raven will be hiding behind the right side of the tree.
Alberich Hollow - Yggdrasil Rift 1[]
- Contains:
- 1 Lindwyrm
- 1 Gale Spark
- 2 Lindwyrm Scales
- 15 Dust of Realms
- 2,000 Hacksilver
This Yggdrasil Rift is found towards the end of the tunnel in Alberich Hollow. Going from the South up to the North, you'll eventually come to a fallen rock, just after you fight a Grim called Ormstunga. Instead of going under the rock column, vault up the left to the left of it: the Yggdrasil Rift will be up this ledge.
Alberich Hollow - Lore 1 - Fruits of Industry[]
- Type: Treasure Map
The one piece of Lore in Alberich Hollow is found at the Northern end of the tunnel. After you fight and defeat a Grim called Ormstunga, you can go under a fallen rock pillar and find a wall of gold rocks. To destroy it you'll need a lava rock, but you can't pass under the fallen rock pillar whilst holding one. To solve this, backtrack a bit back down the tunnel and look for the lava rock dispenser on your left. Grab a rock, return to the fallen rock pillar, but this time vault up the ledge on your left. On your right you'll have a view of the gold rocks: throw a lava rock at them to destroy them. With that done, pass back under the fallen rock pillar and then make your way to the end of the tunnel. The Lore will be here, at the end of a wooden balcony on your right. The Treasure Map leads to a spot at Modvitnir's Rig in Svartalfheim.
Alberich Hollow - Legendary Chest 2[]
- Contains:
- Folkvangr Whetstone
- 5,000 Hacksilver
The one piece of Lore in Alberich Hollow is found at the Northern end of the tunnel. This is in the same spot as the Lore described above, so use the instructions described in that section to get there. The Legendary Chest will be there on the left. In addition to 5,000 Hacksilver, the chest also has a Folkvangr Whetstone, which you can use to upgrade your companion's sword.
