Dark runes are small little clickable items on the pathways.
There's an easy 8 you can get down around the circle that's above the entrance to Helheim (9 if you go up the path to the right, but can be mobs here to fight). You don't have to fight a single mob to get these.
Get those first, then get the other 3 or 4 up above (that you may have to fight mobs for).
That is every comment on this page.
