However, due to the wooden boards, you cannot break the lock when entirely dropped. Now is where speed comes into play. Recall your axe by pressing triangle, and the anvil will start to rise. You can now see the lock and have the time to throw your axe and destroy it.

Return to the anvil and climb it. But there is nowhere to go. While on the anvil, look towards the water geyser turning the wheel, and throw your axe at its base, freezing it. The geyser underneath the anvil will become stronger and lift it. Step off into a new platform with a Kvasir poem in front of you. A chest to the right and then the second chain to open the gate so you can progress.
