Frozen North - Syberia 2 Walkthrough
When you regain control of Kate you'll be in an area known as the Frozen North. Continue along the linear path until the Youki with you chases a beaver into the water. The path will split in this area, visit a clear to the left of your barking dog and pick up some Branches (pictured above).
Return to the frozen fish altar (pictured below) we passed on the way to this area and place the Branches at the altar then use the Box of Matches we have on the wood to melt the ice. When the fire burns out grab the Fish and you'll receive Offering.
Frozen Fish location
Take the Offering to Youki and feed it to him, this will distract him long enough for the beaver to finish gnawing at the tree which will make us a path across. Cross the fallen tree and follow the linear path to the hunting lodge that we saw earlier. Inside the hunting lodge there are going to be numerous items you'll want to grab.
Investigate the shelf above the fire place and take the Russian Doll, The Fisherman's Guide and Hatchet from it. Now move onto the kitchen area where you'll want to grab the Fish Tank on the left side of the counter. Just a heads up, it's more like one of those wooden satchels people use to carry around fish in the arctic, not an actual Fish Tank.
Once you have all these items exit the back of the hunting lodge and go out to the dock (pictured below). Here you'll find a Fishing Rod that you can interact with and also a box of lures next to it.
What you need to do is interact with the Fishing Rod and then interact with the box of lures. Select the lure in the top right of the tackle box then left click out into the water to cast your rod. If you chose the right lure you'll catch an Orange Salmon which is the fish we need. Once you have the appropriate fish try to exit the hunting lodge through the front door and you'll get a scene with a bear blocking your exit.
Move over to the nearby window and toss out the Orange Salmon we just caught to feed the bear. Now with the bear gone you can exit the house, collect the Fishbone that the bear left behind and then head back to the broken wooden bridge we passed earlier.
Note: Make sure you don't miss this Fishbone since it's an item we need for a later puzzle. You can't see the item lying on the ground, you have to mouse over the area where the bear ate the fish to actually find it.

At the broken wooden bridge you will want to use the Hatchet in your inventory on the wood post. This will get you the Rope with Plate item. Use the Rope with Plate item on the fallen tree next to the wooden bridge and Kate will swing across the small chasm. Follow the linear path until you get a scene with Youki running off to chase a bird; follow Youki then you'll get another scene with the Bourghoff brothers trying to drop rocks on your head. During this second scene a plane will crash nearby and chase off the 2 brothers.
When you regain control of Kate you'll want to use the Hatchet on the rock wall in front of you to climb it. To climb this rock wall just click forward until you can't go up anymore then try to click to your left or right. If that doesn't work go down once and try to click left or right. Usually you can only go so far up before having to climb to the side for a clear path, then you can continue going up.
Once you're at the top of the cliff face you'll have to scoot all the way over to the right in order to make it completely up top.
There are a few things we need to do up on this cliff but it all starts with activating the radio at the Radio Tower. Use my screen shot below if you need some help navigating this area, the intersection that I took a picture of is the main one we'll be visiting throughout.
When you first approach the Radio Tower interact with the radio and turn it on. Mess with the red buttons until the frequency is set to 0328, then click on the microphone. Head over to Boris and the crashed plane and talk to him about Train and Flying Wing. This will accomplish all you need for dialogue options.
Hop inside of the crashed plane and input the coordinates 8020 to set the area where you're going to launch the ejection seat to. A visual aid can be found below showing you the information you need. There will be another cutscene after which you'll be safely back at the train with Youki.

After landing and regaining control of Kate the first thing you will want to do is visit the passenger car on the train. In the bedroom you'll find Plan of the Train and also an Oil Dispenser which is next to the bookshelf in the other side of the bedroom. Once you have both of these items exit the train car and head over to the arm sticking out of the snow on a previous screen (pictured below).
There will be a couple of running back and forth tasks for this part that I will put into a list format to make it easier.
1. Pull Oscar out of snow by interacting with the arm (pictured below)
2. Use the Oil Dispenser on Oscar
3. Enter the passenger car on the train again for a cutscene
4. Go to the front of the train and talk with Oscar
5. Visit the 'artifact room' in the passenger car of the train; it's the same room with the circular panel on the floor
6. Inspect the circular panel in the center of the room
7. Call Oscar using your phone (press the down key to find his number)
8. Examine the panel and click on the top and bottom switch as well as the middle one
Immediately after you successfully release the lock there will be a cutscene after which the train will start moving again.
When you regain control of Kate you'll be at a new location further north where the train has stopped. Go up a couple of screens until you find the snow mobile and take the Gauze Blanket from the back of it. Use the Gauze Blanket on the open hole in the owl statue's mouth and then return to the train.
The next thing you need to do is find Igor in a large open snowy field behind the train and talk to him about Igor and Spirits. He will return to the snow mobile and ride it out of here as well as drop some crampons as he takes off. When you interact with the crampons Kate will comment about now being able to climb the nearby icy hill... No surprise here but that's our next destination.

At the top of the hill you'll be confronted by Ivan; try to talk with him a few times to advance the story forward and learn all you can about Hans. When Ivan keeps giving you basic answers and threatening you it's time to take out your phone and call Oscar for help. Oscar will toot the train horn which ends up distracting Ivan allowing you some freedom of movement in this area.
Inspect the sled nearby and search the bottom portion of it (below the ivory) for an Ivory Knife. Use this item on the rope that is holding the sled in place and it will trigger a cutscene.
