Climb up on your left, and cut the last binding with your chain. Once done, head left, jump over the gap, and slide down the rope. At the bottom, break the lock with your axe. Open the chest to the right of the rope, remove the wooden barricade with your chain, and kick down the climbing chain on the left as you go through. Slide down the chain, get into the boat, and head towards Lyngbakr's eye for The Weight of Chains Favor being completed.
