Follow this guide to complete the Path of Destruction Favor in God of War Ragnarök. Learn how to start the favor, defeat the Slag Horn boss, and claim your rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You can only start this Favor after completing the 'Return of the River' Favor.
  2. 2
    Head to the Celestial Altar in The Jungle and ensure it is daytime.
  3. 3
    Sail to the area where you fought the Ogres. The plants will form a bridge. Use the grapple point to cross the water.
  4. 4
    Follow the path until you find a giant footprint. Near it, squeeze through a wall to enter a monster's lair.
  5. 5
    Inside the lair, drop into a giant hole, which leads to a makeshift cage.
  6. 6
    Hit the rotating board above you to raise the cage. Quickly recall your axe and hit the runic disc to keep the cage open.
  7. 7
    Keep the axe in the runic disc and proceed down the hallway to a gate. Lift the gate to return outside.
  8. 8
    Lure the two enemies outside back into the hallway and into the cage area.
  9. 9
    Once the enemies are under the cage, quickly exit and recall your axe, trapping them.
  10. 10
    Pull the chain on the outside of the cage to raise the enemies to the arena above, where the Slag Horn boss will appear.
  11. 11
    If you fail to trap the enemies, kill them, take the lift up to the dam and back down to respawn them. Exit via the hallway and return to the arena.
  12. 12
    Face the Slag Horn boss.
  13. 13
    Target the two cracked marks on Slag Horn's front legs with your spear and detonate them. This will make the boss fall down and become vulnerable to attacks for a short period.
  14. 14
    Loot the spoils after defeating Slag Horn to complete the Favor.
Tips
  • The grapple point to start the Favor is only available during the day.
  • When trapping enemies in the cage, hitting the rotating board once is sufficient as the cage does not go very high and can drop quickly.
  • The Slag Horn boss is similar to other drake fights. Focus on dodging and blocking its attacks.
  • The 'Tail Sweep' attack can be difficult due to the boss's size and the arena's limited space. Dodge backwards for this attack.
  • The 'Shockwave Slam' is indicated by a red ring and can be dodged by moving left or right.
  • 'Tail Needles (Fan)' can be blocked.
  • 'Tail Needles (Yellow Ring)' requires a quick dodge as the spike comes out rapidly.
  • 'Tail Needles (Red Ring)' is unblockable and requires a dodge.
  • The 'Lunging Bite' is indicated by a red ring and can be avoided by dodging to the side.
  • Be patient when attacking the cracked marks on the legs, as the boss moves frequently.
  • As the boss's health lowers, it will chain attacks and repeat moves. Wait for attacks to finish before going on the offensive.
