Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice Guide

The Mountain

After making your way through the hordes of enemies in The Sea of Corpses, you will be returned to the tree. Here we need to make our way into the mountain.

Getting into The Mountain is relatively straightforward. Leave the tree and start walking back towards the mountain. Look for a ladder below the broken bridge and climb up it. Head up the stone stairs nearby and you will see a door. This door leads into The Mountain.

The Darkness

Inside The Mountain we learn about a great beast. This beast lurks in the shadows and will kill you if you stay in the dark for too long.

Along this long hallway you will see sections that have lights in them. All you need to do is run from section to section.

Once you reach the end of the hallway, you trigger a cutscene where Senua grabs a torch. This will help us throughout the level.

Three Shapes in The Darkness

After seeing a vision of your mother, the gate turns into a Shape Gate. We need to find three shapes scattered throughout this area in order to move forward.

Shape 1

The First shape is in the basement of the area you are in. To get there, look to the left wall when facing away from the Shape Gate. You will see a door off its hinges. Head into the doorway here.

Head through the doorway and make your way down the stairs. Be prepared to lose your torch here. You need to swim under a couple gates and in the process your torch goes out. Like running through the hallway, make your way to the light spots you see. At the end of the lights, you will see a torch. Grab it.

With torch in hand, we can head back into the darkness and explore the basement area. While moving through the basement, you will come across various torches. Light these torches as you go to make the basement more visible. Once you can see, look for a cave. Inside this cave is the first shape. Return to the upstairs by running past where you picked the torch up.

Shape 2

Make your way to the large room with light shining through in the hallway you ran through. Facing away from the Shape Gate along the right wall is a hallway (Across from a locked gate). Go down the hallway until you reach a room at the end. Here you will be attacked by enemies.

Kill the enemies and light all the torches in this room. Go up the stairway to the look out. Look to the floor and you will see the symbol in blood.

Shape 3

Return to the room with the stairs to the swimming area. Instead of going downstairs, go upstairs. At the top of the stairs, you will find a room. Inside this room are some torches. Light them and you will find the final symbol as a shadow on the wall. Return to the gate.
