Sieglinde has taken the advice of Brunnhilde – she has taken refuge in the depth of the nearby forest. Dying Sieglinde gives birth to her son, entrusts him to the smith together with sword fragments. Mime immediately sees how to take advantage of this, he brings him up as his son keeping in utter ignorance in order better to manipulate him, and he constantly reminds him of the debt of gratitude he owes to the one who has given him cloth, food and shelter. Later the young man is to kill the dragon and give him the Ring. Unfortunately there are two obstacles to this plan: one the one hand Siegfried breaks every sword Mime forges for him. Mime knows that only Notung, Siegmund sword will stand up to him. But how can he put the fragments together again? On the other the ambiguous relationship between Siegfried and Mime is clear. Hansom, athletic and fair-haired Siegfried is young sentimental, impatient and hates old age, ugliness and fear; behaviour towards limping weepy eyed dwarf is hateful, sadistic.

Fricka insists he must defend Hunding's marriage rights against Siegmund, ignoring Wotan's implied argument that Siegmund could save the gods by winning back the Rhinegold from the dragon Fafner before the Nibelung dwarfs regain it. When Wotan realizes he is caught in his own trap - his power will leave him if he does not enforce the law - he agrees to his wife's demands. After Fricka has left in triumph, the frustrated god tells the returning Brünnhilde about the theft of the gold and Alberich's curse on it ("Als junger Liebe")
Brünnhilde is shocked to hear her father, his plans in ruins, order her to fight for Hunding. Then, alone in the darkness, she withdraws as Siegmund and Sieglinde approach.
