Senua's Sacrifce Logo

This article contains lore based on real-life sources from Norse and Celtic Mythology as introduced in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.



A king in the north forced the dwarves to make a sword that would never fail and never rust and that would slice through iron and stone, and bring victory to its bearer.But the angry dwarves cursed it: it would be the death of a man every time it was drawn, and it would be the death of king. Let me tell you about the sword Tyrfing.

The Labyrinth Shard Trial is one of the Trials of Odin that Senua is tasked with surviving.

Into the Labyrinth

Senua walking through the Labyrinth

Senua finds herself on an island some distance away from a tree; walking up a slope, she comes to a small house-like structure, which the Furies surmise is a burial mound. Senua enters the mound with a torch to light the way through the dark corridors. Upon entering, Senua hears a loud roar echo through the corridors, followed by the sound of someone shouting; Senua assumes that the person screaming is Dillion. After walking a short distance, Senua sees the glowing figure that she had followed to the tree on the shore, but they are separated by a gate. The figure fades away, and Senua promises to find him again.

Senua wanders the burial mound for a while, lighting braziers with her torch and trying to follow the sounds of the screams. At certain points, Dillion's voice will begin to sound more abnormal. Eventually, Senua will reach a rocky crevasse, suddenly realizing that the voice is not Dillion's. She continues on, and comes to a wooden gate, behind which is a forbidding red glow and the source of the abnormal groaning. Senua decides that Dillion wants her to face her fears, and opens the gate.

A flashback sequence occurs, when Senua announces to Zynbel that she is leaving to live with Dillion. At the end of the flashback, Senua is transported back to the shore.

Gameplay[]

In this trial, Senua must navigate a labyrinth of passageways.
