The Docks of Vadgelmir is the primary area of exploration when you first visit Helheim, although you do get an opportunity to visit later. Helheim having boats will be familiar to those who played the 2018 game: Kratos and Atreus had previously used a boat to escape Helheim after an encounter with Baldur and managed to escape (despite the Hel-Walker's best efforts).
Collectibles[]
The docks have a few collectibles to receive as listed below.

Docks of Vadgelmir - Legendary Chest-U 1[]
- Contains: Bow Ability - Falling Sky
This Legendary Chest is found early in your first visit to Helheim. Early into the level you'll emerge onto the Docks of Vadgelmir, where you'll eventually have to push a crate with Thrud. Climb up the crate to the upper level, then look left: check behind the crates here to find the Legendary Chest. The chest contains the Falling Sky ability, which bombards the area ahead of Atreus with Sonic Arrows. This can come in handy if you want to use a powerful Sonic Arrow move but don't want to switch out of Sigil Arrows.
Docks of Vadgelmir - Legendary Chest-U 2[]
- Contains: Shield - Onslaught Shield
While this Legendary Chest is technically located in the Docks of Vadgelmir, it isn't available until much later when you return here as Kratos. Once you do and have defeated the boss, head down the stairs and around the corner to another door puzzle. The chest will be on your right. The chest contains the Onslaught Shield, which has Kratos Shield Rush enemies when you Double Tap the L1 button. If Kratos charges a certain distance, then he'll launch enemies into the air on impact.
