The good news here is that you’re not doing anything wrong, and your game isn’t glitched. Instead, these log barriers are something that you’ll eventually get to remove once you’ve unlocked an ability as part of God of War Ragnarok’s story.

The Celestial Mirror is a key item you’ll obtain as part of the main quest in the game. We won’t dive into any more story spoilers here, but just know that you’ll get it in due time. Meanwhile, these areas behind the log barriers are blocked off and cannot be accessed.

How to Use the Celestial Mirror to Change Time of Day

The Celestial Mirror can be used on these little plinths dotted around the world called Celestial Altars. You can normally spot them in the distance due to their domed roof. They’re also marked on your map with a sun and moon icon.

Find one of these and then interact with the bowls in the center of the structure. Kratos will rub the Celestial Mirror around its edge, causing the time of day to change.

By changing the time of day, the log barriers will be removed, allowing you to freely explore these areas. Keep in mind that while one time of day may allow you access to some areas, it might block off others and vice-versa.
