Ragnarok begins long before the final battle—with broken promises, dangerous bargains, and the death of Baldr. Part 2 of this cinematic Norse mythology documentary follows Thor, Loki, and the enemies the gods cannot escape. It covers the theft of Mjolnir and Thor's bridal disguise, Jormungandr and the fishing expedition, the illusions of Utgard-Loki, Tyr's sacrifice in the binding of Fenrir, Baldr and the mistletoe, Loki's punishment, Fimbulwinter, the last battles of the gods, and the green world that rises after Ragnarok. The surviving sources do not form one fixed Viking bible, and they do not always agree. The Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda were written down after the Viking Age in medieval Christian Iceland, so historians compare them with older poetry, archaeology, inscriptions, art, place-names, and ritual evidence.
