Clear the Obstacle Blocking the Tunnel Entrance

Remove the Grappling Gun Connected to the Cart

Once you arrive, you'll find the tunnel entrance caved in with boulders, as well as a minecart attached to a Prime Ice Grappling Gun. Use Fab-Vision to remove the construct, which will cause the cart to roll into the boulders and blow them up.

Enter the Abandoned Tunnel

Enter the Abandoned Tunnel

After destroying the blockage, proceed into the tunnel. You will eventually reach a section piled high with crates and scaffolding, as well as a metal wall that cannot be destroyed at the moment.

Explore the Space Holding the Stash Inside the Tunnel

Build a Grappling Gun to Reach the Stash

Turn your attention away from the wall, and focus on the crate with a Prime Ice Hook on its side. You can destroy this crate by creating a Prime Ice Grappling Gun that will pull on the hook.

Check on the Strange Little Girl

You will be able to check a small area behind the crate once it breaks. Head inside and go to the very end to find a small girl, which will trigger a cutscene.

Open Up the Path to Okurov

Build Another Grappling Gun to Proceed

After the cutscene, Nastya will place a new hook on the previously impassable metal wall. Place down another Prime Ice Grappling Gun to break the wall and unblock the way forward.

Head to Okurov with Nastya

Once you break the wall, proceed to follow the linear path down, passing through another broken train on your way through. You will eventually reach Okurov, a large, forest-like area which Nastya calls home.

I have the dumbest problem- I think I removed the prime ice hook from the crate with the little girl in it before I realized I need it. There is no hook and I don't know where to learn how to make one, so I'm stuck on this quest. Anyone know how to learn how to replace a hook?
