Thor: God of Thunder Walkthrough

Chapter 3 - Best Served Cold

Your noisy arrival in the new area has not gone undetected. Though you destroy a bunch of giants upon landing on the ledge where the third chapter begins, many more will rush you (along with weaker friends).

Above Left: Defeat the giants quickly to fill your Fury Meter, then unleash your wrath and eliminate the remaining giants even more quickly. Above Right: Venture deep into the icy cave to find new challenges.

There are enough giants in this starting area that it'll take you forever to defeat them if you try to rely just on your standard melee attacks. Battle giants with Lightning Storm attacks and by grappling them. When you have dealt enough damage to fill your Fury Meter, activate it and then move quickly around the area, clobbering giants. Two or three direct hits while your power is exaggerated will be enough to destroy each giant, and more will materialize. You can move quickly around the area, destroying one giant after another in rapid succession. That will keep your meter from draining and will make it easy to clear the area.

Once you have done so, your main foe will appear at the edge of the area, near the entrance to a cave. He taunts you, so proceed in that direction and break apart ice crystals as you go. You can refill your life and magic at one point deep in the cave, then head beyond that point a short distance to trigger another scene. The Jade Iceborn enemy type will attack and your foe will taunt you as he fills the corridor ahead with howling gusts of icy wind.

The trick here is to watch for breaks in the wind. You can hide behind ice crystal formations between gusts, but you'll need to deal with the Iceborn enemies that attack you from the sides. Steer clear of their projectiles, both while they are in the air and when they land (they'll burst apart shortly after doing so). Continue forward when there are openings and when you reach the back wall, you can jump to pull yourself up to the higher ledge.

Above Left: Break through the frozen waterfall to find a collectible. Above Right: Earthquake can demolish even powerful giants, if you time it properly.

Continue climbing to reach the start of a new passageway. This one doesn't have icy air gusting along it, thankfully. When you reach the far end, Adept giants will attack. You can defeat the lot of them with Lightning Storm, then investigate the nearby area. Behind a frozen waterfall that you can easily smash your way through, you'll find a collectible Thunderbolt. Along a different corridor, you can jump and pull yourself up to a ledge to find a device that provides you with more currency that you can spend on moves (you'll need to move the analog sticks so that the gears turn quickly and generate a suitable reward).

As you head along the main passageway that leads away from where you battled the giants, you'll soon reach a new battlefield. Here, you'll have a more difficult time defeating the giants. They keep coming and they are accompanied by Iceborn enemies. Not only that, but huge ice formations burst forth from the ground at key points during the battle. They can really knock you around and do some damage if you let them. Focus on avoiding those natural hazards as you battle the giants. As the fight begins, you can use the Earthquake ability to eliminate the first few foes, but from there you'll have to get more creative. Note the floating power-up along the edge of the area that you can grab for help defeating the giants. Grab it when you can. Build up damage quickly and when you fill your Fury Meter, unleash it to produce a shockwave that opens a new path.

Head along the new path. You will need to smash apart some crystals, then jump up along the obstruction to reach a higher ledge. Walk along that ledge to reach a new scene. Then the chapter concludes.
