			==Behind the scenes==
			For some reason, jötnar encampments and restricted areas have an oddly short respawn distance, in that as soon as the player kills one and gets a few dozen in-game meters away from their original position with the camera turned away, they will instantly respawn. This persists in enemy-occupied sections of [[Asgard]] as well, but it is especially notable here because Aegir's cauldron and the route to it take the player far enough away from the rest of the chamber that all the enemies defeated—with stealth or open combat—on the way there can instantly respawn and obstruct the way out.
