Would you mind posting a video showing that the "Wake Up" option is gone? What happened when you opened the door to Jötunheimr?

Done the quest line, my next goal was to go to Jotunheim, but I was missing 1 wealth, so after getting back to Ravensthorpe, i went straight back in.

Door is closed, and no wake-up option on the map. Find the yellow door near Heimdall's tower. In front of the door you can leave asgard by pressing E button.

I have the same problem. I am stuck in Asgard. The eye symbol just does not appear. I returned to Asgard, because I thought I took the wrong turn when heading for Jotunheim.

For Vikings runes were not just letters; they were potent symbols, bringing deep meaning onto their lives. Runes were written only on stones or wood.

Therefore they had an angular appearance. Runes were used as memorable symbols written on stones dedicated to well-known people. Moreover, runes had also magical meaning and Vikings believed they could bring happiness, joy, wealth, love, power, strength and even death.

They wore them and used to decorate their jewelry rings, protective amulets, necklaces, and even armor.

This was so, as they believed in runes meaning. There were no gods, only the runes that could as they believed change their lives.

The runes were considered the most potent armors able to bring happiness, success, victory or curse into their lives. To make it easier to understand, it is the process of divination.

It is not a secret that during the Viking age rune stones were used as divination tools not to predict the future, but to help people to make life-altering decisions.

They usually come in a set of 24 stones with ancient letters — runes — covered onto them. The process of casting rune sticks involved shedding pieces of wood or bone on the part of the cloth.

Then the experienced practitioner read the message that was reproduced of the runes, their orientation and position to each other.

Runes are the letters associated with the well-known Odin who discovered them. The Elder Futhark gave way to the Younger Futhark that had only 16 rune symbols that reflected the Scandinavia language changes.

Although with the appearance of the Younger Futhark the Elder Futhark was not used, it maintained in use as glyphs but not for an extended period.

The fact we can understand the Elder version even today, it is clear that Vikings could also read both versions. Nowadays, a lot of beautiful Viking jewelry that relates to runes use the Elder version more frequently as, the younger one, because it represents more letters that are easier to read as well as translate to English.

For Vikings runes were not only symbols. They believed that runes had a mysterious power able to change their life.

Vikings highly respected them. You can find many myths about their power and feats. For example, one of them: one woman was seriously ill.

The reason of her illness was the wrong runes hanging above her head. The runes master was called for help to change the runes meaning and help to improve the situation.

In result, he corrected the runes and the woman recovered. There is another story about the runemaster who protected his horn with special runic symbols.

The horn breaks in two when his foe tries to poison him. The protected runic symbols cut on the horn helped him to save his life.

Runic masters could also predict the future with the help of rune stones. There were a couple of ways to predict the future with runes.

The first one was to put the rune stones in the bag, shake them and then throw them on the ground. Those rune stones that grounded face up were used for castling the future.

With the appearance of Christianity in northern Europe, Viking runes did not disappear. They could be seen side by side with the other Christian symbols on coffins, gravestones, monuments.

Even up to 17 century, runes were frequently used. However in century church decided to ban the runes to eliminate magic, superstition and paganism.

These are the two main reasons why Valknut is considered an Odin symbol. The nine corners of three triangles that form the Valknut symbol also mean nine worlds of Norse mythology and life cycle through pregnancy and motherhood.

What is unique about the Valknut Viking symbol is the fact that it was found on many northern monuments and tombs. The Valknut symbol consists of three triangles that were sometimes depicted in a single line unicursal or Borromean style.

What is special about this unique Viking symbol is that it has nine points because of its three triangles.

The number nine was significant during the Viking age. Because the number nine symbolizes nine words of northern mythology.

The symbol of Yggdrasil appears in the mythology of many ancient cultures as a symbol of the connection of all the things in the world. Nothing can die, and everything is in the constant state of unending and transformation.

This symbol is not only one of the most prominent symbols in Norse mythology but also one of the most important symbols of the Norse faith. It is the main symbol representing the interconnection of all the things in the universe.

Yggdrasil symbolizes that life comes from water. Therefore, the symbol Yggdrasil is called the Tree of Life. What is more critical the Norse mythology considers that the end of the word will be caused by Ragnarok — the battle between gods, where only one man and woman will survive and hide inside the hollow of the tree.

They will leave the tree to provide a new life on the word. Therefore, the Tree of Life is also considered a tree that will protect the entity from Ragnarok.

Because Yggdrasil was the tree, on which Odin hung when he decided to sacrifice himself to himself as a quest for wisdom. Aegishjalmur is rune stave that is well known to be a Viking symbol of victory and protection.

The emblem itself reminds eight branches that look like radiant tridents that are located around a central point of the symbol, the point that should be protected.

Those eight tridents protect that central point. As they considered it was an important symbol protecting them from their enemies, instill fear in them and helping Vikings in battles.

Nowadays, the symbol Aegishjalmur is frequently used in the form of tattoos, that serves for many popes as protection amulets.
