Where does Brok go when he dies?

When Brok dies, his body is given a Norse burial and cremated, but his soul is unable to reach the Lake of Souls in Alfheim because it lacks direction, leaving him without an afterlife. This is due to Sindri only being able to retrieve three out of four parts of Brok’s soul when he previously revived him, making it impossible for Brok to enter an afterlife when he dies again.
