Ragnarök culminates in a final battle on Vígríðr. Odin falls before Fenrir and is swallowed by the wolf. Víðarr tears apart Fenrir's jaws and avenges his father. Thor kills Jörmungandr but dies of the serpent's venom. Freyr falls before Surtr because he gave away his sword. Týr and Garmr slay each other. Heimdallr and Loki slay each other. Surtr sets the world on fire.
Þórr mun ganga at Miðgarðsormi ok mun hann drepa hann, en hann mun ganga níu fet þegar hann fellr dauðr af því er eitrið er frá ormi.
Thor shall advance against the Midgard Serpent and shall kill it, but shall walk nine steps and then fall dead from the serpent's venom.
Fenrisúlfr mun gleypja Óðin. Víðarr mun þegar stíga öðrum fæti í neðra kjaft vargsins, þann fót er hann hefir skó á, ok rífr sundr kjaptana. Svá mun Óðinn hefnt verða.
Fenrir the wolf shall swallow Odin. Víðarr shall at once step with one foot into the wolf's lower jaw, the foot on which he wears his shoe, and shall tear apart the jaws. Thus shall Odin be avenged.
Surtr mun kasta eldi yfir jörðina ok brenna allan heim.
Surtr shall cast fire over the earth and burn the entire world.
Eddic quotations
Sól tér sortna, / sökkr fold í mar, / hverfa af himni / heiðar stjörnur; / geisar eimi / ok aldrnari, / leikr hár hiti / við himin sjálfan.
The sun darkens, the earth sinks into the sea, the bright stars fall from the sky; steam surges and life's fire, high flames play against heaven itself.
Víðarr ok Váli / búa vé goða, / þá er Surta logi / of sloknaðr verðr.
Víðarr and Váli shall dwell in the gods' sanctuary when Surtr's flames are extinguished.
