Before you can attempt to break the vines, you will need to complete the mission called The Sickness. The mission dictates that Kratos should visit Helheim to find the antidote to cure Atreus of his illness. The missions will also make Kratos revisit his past, and he will get his hands on the Blades of Chaos. This iconic dual dagger’s powerful fiery move is enough to burn down anything in Kratos’ way.
Now that you have the Blades of Chaos, go back to the vines that obstruct your path and you can now burn them down. Get close to the vines and press R1 or R2 to launch an attack. Hitting them a couple of times will make the vines catch fire and burn away. Usually, there are just hidden chests and chambers that contain valuable items that can help you on your journey. It is not that necessary to find all the vines since you can always come back to them later on.
