You will encounter the first puzzle when you have to create a path where the two water pipes are. On the other side is a broken door that you speculate Tyr must have gone through. But there is no other way to pass through the mines without falling to your death. Luckily, you can solve this puzzle by looking to the right side of the area to find a metal chain touching the floor. You can use it to climb up.
After that, climb up the upper platform as well and head left to the edge, you will find a marker where you have to throw your Blades of Chaos. This will stop the water flow and power up the lift.
Head back to the entrance and toss your ax with the Freeze skill to freeze the water canal. This will make the cogwheels turn and bring up the crane. You can then use the crane to get to the other side.
To bring down the lift, look to the right at the mesh net and aim for the canal above. Use the ax freeze to freeze it up, which will bring the lift.
Keep going till you reach another crane puzzle. There will be a large cavern below and a crane beside it. On your right, you can find another metal chain you can pull, but you should first let Atreus hit the blue imaginary wall below.
Once that is done, pull the chain to tighten the rope and use it to get across. At the other side, head left and jump across to the other platform, then hoist Atreus up to the higher platform. Go back to where you were and look to your left to find another water canal. Freeze it to move the first crane.
Now look straight ahead at the canal near the first crane, you have to freeze that as well to stop the water flow and bring up the second crane. After that, swing yourself across.
After reaching the second platform, look behind you and aim at the first canal on the right where you froze it. Break the ice to return the crane and platform you are standing on back to its position, bringing you to the other side of the area.
