Investigate the halls of the dwarves, and you’ll eventually run across the third shrine you have to destroy. Continue through the rest of the ruins and make your way back to Otr to free it.

• Dragon Fafnir – In the northeast corner of the lake of Nine. You’ll need shock arrows to explode the crystals to clear the way to climb the cliff there. Climb up and follow the path until you reach a huge door. Behind it you’ll find Fafnir.
• Shrine 1 – Drop down where the altar holding Fafnir is into a cavern on the left. You’ll soon see the first shrine.
• Shrine 2 – Across the room where the altar is, right across from the cavern where you found the first shrine. Jump across the gap onto the climbable wall. At the top is the second shrine.
• Shrine 3 – Next to Fafnir, in the left corner on the level where the altar with the three runes is.

• Dragon Reginn – In Midguard, in the land of Konunsgard. The entrance to Konunsgard is in the northwest corner of the Lake of Nine and must be reached by boat. One docked, follow the path until you reach Konunsgard. To the northeast of the stronghold, you’ll run into Reginn.
• Shrine 1 – Down the path facing the dragon, jump over the gap and go straight to find the first shrine.
• Shrine 2 – Continue from the first shrine until you see a door locked with three runes. Take the sap, put it near the rune that’s behind the bars. Then, shoot that sap, then the red crystal that’s next to the other bell, and lastly through the axe at the final bell above the door to open the way. This path will take you to a higher level that has the second shrine.
• Shrine 3 – Take the rope from shrine 2 back down to the lower level. Face Reginn and head down the path leading into a cavern below him. Continue down the path until you come across the final shrine.
