You must use sigil arrows and burn the vines and then use sigil arrows again to ignite the brazier. You can also use a grenade you find in the cave to ignite this brazier.
Throw a grenade at the ore to blow it up, then throw another grenade to light the brazier. Pick up and throw a grenade at the ore to blow it up, then throw another grenade to light the brazier.
The third brazier is in a depression near the entrance to the cave. However, it is high enough that you won't be able to throw a grenade at it, so you need to create a path for the fire. To do this, you must use sigil arrows.
Midgard Nornir Chest (The Lost Treasury)▶ show the map ◀
To unlock this chest you must ignite three braziers. To get to all of them you must follow the same steps that are needed to reach the Midgard Legendary Chest (The Lost Treasury).

The second brazier is on the top left. You will light it with Blades of Chaos when you get close enough to the wall.
The last brazier is in the same cave as the legendary chest. In this case you must use sigil arrows.
Midgard Nornir Chest (The Oarsmen)▶ show the map ◀
To unlock this chest you should throw your axe at three bells within a short interval. For this to be possible you must first remove the obstacle blocking access to one of them.
To gain access to the third of the bells you must get to the part of the room located on the other side of the cleft. How to do this is explained in the description of the legendary chest - Midgard Legendary Chest (The Oarsmen), that is located there. When you get there then use a sonic arrow to destroy the obstacle and open the gate to the first part of the cave.
The longest period to reset has the bell located in the crack on the left side so you should hit it first. Try to keep the need to relocate to a minimum. I positioned myself in a place from where I could see all three bells. The third one was accessible through the gate and not through the opening created when the obstacle was destroyed, but probably both solutions are good.
Then swiftly make throws in the direction of the other two bells, which reset rather quickly.
Midgard Nornir Chest (Well of Urd)▶ show the map ◀
