Guide your way through the 'What Lies Below' favor in God of War Ragnarök. Learn how to defeat the challenging double Dreki boss fight in Vanaheim's Jungle.

Alright, so you're diving into the 'What Lies Below' favor in God of War Ragnarök. This one kicks off automatically as you're working through the 'Return of the River' favor in Vanaheim's Jungle. Keep an eye out – you'll know it's started when you see a Dreki snatch some poor creature right out of the water near the dam.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to open up the dam. The guide for 'Return of the River' has the full details on this, but basically, you'll use your Draupnir Spear to blast a hole in the dam wall. This lowers the water level, which is key to progressing.
  2. 2
    Once the water's down, head over to the ledge near the spirit offering another favor. You'll see a spot on the wall with a wind vent. Toss another Draupnir Spear into this vent – it’ll create a platform for you to jump across to the other side.
  3. 3
    You'll land in a small arena littered with bones. As soon as you step in, get ready, because two Dreki are about to make an appearance.
Tips
  • This arena isn't huge, so you'll be fighting up close and personal with both Dreki. They both have an electrical aura, so watch out for their spit attacks and any shockwaves they create.
  • One Dreki might hang out on the platform while the other dives into the water. The one in the water has some weird projectile attacks that can travel along the ground or even split. The one on land might just spew a constant stream of electricity.
  • The Dreki on the platform will use melee attacks, including a nasty bite that can break your guard. Their tail sweep is easier to block, though.
  • Your best bet is to focus all your attention on one Dreki at a time. Once one goes down, the fight becomes much more manageable.
  • If a Dreki retreats into the water, use your ranged attacks to keep pressure on it until it comes back out.
  • Once both Dreki are defeated, make sure to loot everything they drop – that's the end of this favor!
