  1. First, free the bucket of fire from the nearby bramble.

    Double back to the stone steps near the bridge. Walk to the edge, get out the Blades of Chaos, press and hold L2, then tap R2 to burn the bramble away. Use the Leviathan Axe on the crane so you can swing across to the small platform to the left of the bridge.Burn the bramble to free the fire bucket at the abandoned village bridge in god of war ragnarok

  2. Burn the bramble blocking the bridge.

    You can do this by using the Leviathan Axe on the crane until the bucket of fire is right in front of you. With the fire bucket within reach of you and the bramble straight ahead, grapple the bucket with the Blades of Chaos and swing it towards you. It’ll make it swing like a pendulum and burn the bramble.Burn the bramble with fire bucket at the abandoned village in god of war ragnarok

  3. Cross the bridge with the crane.

    Now with the bramble out of the way, maneuver the crane so you can return to the beginning of the bridge. Do it once more to reposition the crane in a way that allows you to swing over to the other end of the bridge.

And that’s all you need to know in order to cross the Abandoned Village bridge in God of War Ragnarok.
