Quick Links
Welcome toSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2! This guide will help you navigate the beginning of the game, focusing on the quest to find survivors of a capsized ship and defeating the slavers you encounter along the way. Follow these steps to ensure you start your journey on the right foot.
Quest to Find Survivors
At any point during the game, if you open up your pause menu you will see a map of all keybinds. This is important, as the game does not provide tutorials during gameplay on how to do certain things. You will probably have to check back as you get the hang of things.
Alignment Puzzle
Before much combat can happen, you will encounter your first symbol alignment puzzle in the game. These puzzles are found throughout every chapter of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and you’ll get really good at these over time as you learn what to look for. The trick to them is to explore the area and keep your eyes in the sky for any floating red symbols, which mark the spot where you’ll find the puzzle’s solution.

Combat Tips for Hellblade 2
The combat from the originalHellbladeand that of Hellblade 2 share a lot of similarities. That being said, there were some tweaks made to combat from Hellblade 1 that have polished the experience in Hellblade 2. The fights in Hellblade 2 are cinematic experiences interwoven with player-controlled combat, and you will have to pay attention to the story to know when a particular cutscene needs your interaction in order to proceed. The transition between cutscene and playable moments are seamless in Hellblade 2, so make sure to pay attention!
Searching for Survivors
The cutscene in which you go through the shipwreck requires your interaction. On the controller, you’ll have to press A to interact with bits. The game doesn’t tell you when these moments happen, so to avoid any awkward pauses at the moment, it might be worth your while to tap the interaction button from time to time.
