Ragnarok: The fabled end of the world, when giants, monsters, and Norse gods battle for the future. The gods were winning until the great serpent Jrmungandr emerged. It swallowed Valhalla and contorted itself across the land. Odin has just enough power to strike with one final bolt of lightning, and you have the fabled hammer, Mjlnir. Can you two destroy the serpent? Dan Finkel shows how. Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Artrake Studio

Let's see, for the purposes of this riddle, I am a Norse god with superhuman abilities running along the body of a serpent large enough to devour Valhalla. then I would simply run in a spiral along the axis of the serpent's body, taking advantage of the gravitational pull of the serpent's mass. That would be my answer if this were a riddle, but it's actually not a riddle, it's a puzzle.

Taika Waititi should end Love and Thunder with the above scenario, Thor being the above mentioned Odin, and Jane Foster (cuz she's smart) shall run across Jormungandr's body, and after the snake dies, since Thor used all of his might, he dies.
Then Korg becomes the King of Asgard XD

Dan: What path can you take to destroy the serpent?
Me: So you're asking me if I know what an Eulerian path is?
Dan: Yes. Exactly that.
All those years at university, finally paying off.

Coincidentaly, this problem is easier to understand and solve if one has practice creating and drawing old-norse-style closed knots, as said closed knots involve mathematical methods to create.

Solved using a spiral pattern from the outside in. Just need to be careful that you start at the right point. unpausing, yup, nice. :) This puzzle makes me feel smart 10/10!

I guessed the starting point and the ending point without any big reasoning, it was just there, easy to spot and know, idk how I did it, took me 5 seconds to solve.

Its kind of annoying when ive figured it out, and then watch the rest of the video, it then feels like he takes forever to get to the confirmation of it lol.

honestly I just did a couple test runs in MS Paint before getting the right answer. I didn't figure out the clever node-edge thing.
