Jarnsmida Pitmines Water Puzzle 1
As you enter Jarnsmida Pitmines, climb down the wall and you will see the path blocked with a wooden cart. Freeze the wooden trough above the cart as shown in the picture below.

To unlock the Nornir chest, you need to ignite three torches. Torch #1 is next to the Nornir Chest as shown in the picture below. Press L2+R2 to ignite the torch.
After igniting the first torch, turn left and jump down. Here you will see another torch (Torch #3) as shown in the picture below. Don’t ignite it for now. Turn left from the waterwheel instead to see Torch #2 as shown in the second picture below. Use the grapplehook to swing near the torch and then ignite it.
Now swing back to reach Torch #3. Here, you will see water falling down from the waterwheel. Throw your axe at the edge of the wooden trough as shown in the picture below to freeze the water. Now ignite Torch #3 to unlock the Nornir Chest. Make sure to not summon back the axe, otherwise the water will start falling down and extinguish the torch. Now go back to the chest and open it to get an Idunn Apple.

Then jump and proceed ahead. Go under the giant rock in front of you. Now turn right and pull the lever up ahead as shown in the picture below. This will make the giant rock ahead of you move up. Go ahead under the rock. Then turn back and freeze the wooden trough as shown in the second picture below. This will make the giant rock come down. Then climb up the rock and call back the axe. This will make the giant rock go up again. Now you can jump to reach the gate and open it.

Climb up the giant block and then turn around and freeze the mouth of the wooden trough as shown in the third picture below. This will make the giant block move back and it will take you to the other side. Jump down from the giant block and proceed ahead to get the legendary chest and an artefact.
