How to Defeat Alduin
When you enter Sovngarde and walk down the stairs you will find a Stormcloak soldier. He'll tell you that he can't reach the Hall of Valor due to the mist. In these mists Alduin hunts for lost souls to gain power. After you're done talking, follow the path through the mist.

Note: the soldier does not always start in the beginning, and there is a good chance you will not find the soldier until part way through the mist. Do not worry, the mist will not engulf you as you speak with the soldier.

If you have killed Ulfric, his soul will be here, saying "we can't get anything done in this fog" and will tell you to turn back.

Conversely, if you followed the Stormcloak quest, Rikke will be here if you killed her.

Also, If you have finished the Companions quests, Kodlak Whitemane will be here as well.

Hall of Valor


When you reach the end of the path you will see a giant building on the other side of a bone bridge. This is the Hall of Valor. In front of the bridge stands a guard, Tsun. He will test you if you're strong enough to enter the Hall of Valor. He can be quite hard for low-leveled players. If you are unable to defeat him, simply jump on the rock where he can't reach you and hit him with arrows or spells. When his health reaches about 60%, he will yield and allow you to cross the bridge to the Hall of Valor.

Heroes of Sovngarde
When you enter the Hall of Valor you will be told to speak to Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, Hakon One-Eye and Felldir the Old - the three heroes who you saw defeat Alduin in the vision of the past. They'll be a bit further down the hall. Talk to them and they'll help you defeat Alduin.

Trivia

 * Sovengarde bares resemblance to Asgard in norse mythology while the Hall of Valor bares resemblance to Valhalla, also in norse mythology. Warriors who had died valiantly in battle are chosen by Odin to live in a giant eating hall called Vallaha that is more or less identical to the Hall of Valor.
 * Other characters wandering around the great feast hall will remark upon the food, mead, boasting and heroic deaths, and will particularly note that their god is absent, as his light would blind the player (who is still mortal). The food in Sovngarde can be taken or eaten by the player, the god's throne sat upon without incident, and the Ox Head at the feast can be taken as well (although it's not actually edible).
 * There is a Dragon Wall along the path through Sovngarde. It is blocked off with stone rubble, however, even after Alduin's defeat, and appears to be inactive.
 * If you're lucky, you can meet High King Torygg on your path to the Hall of Valor. He will tell you about how he faced Ulfric Stormcloak without fear.

Bugs
Tsun might be 'undefeatable' at some versions of the game, e.g. He'll be bending down on the verge of death with a few strikes but does not yield. To fix this, use the following console command: ​setstage mq304 150 This will make Tsun 'acknowledge' you and allow you to pass into the Hall of Valor.
