Follow our guide to conquer the poisonous Dreki boss in the 'In the Dead of Night' favor for God of War Ragnarök. Learn its attacks and arena tactics.

Alright, let's get this favor, 'In the Dead of Night,' started! First things first, you'll need to have access to The Plains in Vanaheim. That means finishing the main quest 'Creatures of Prophecy.' Once that's done, head back to Freyr's Camp. Look for the exit that kicks off the 'Scent of Survival' favor, which will lead you to The Crater. From there, follow the steps to reach The Jungle, and then complete the 'Return of the River' favor. Doing that floods the canyons, opening up new areas, including where we need to go for this favor.

Now, hop in your boat and row to the northern part of The Jungle. You'll find a small tunnel that Kratos has to squeeze through. This little passage connects to The Plains. Keep an eye out for a small island with an Yggdrasil Rift; we need to head west from there to find another shore to dock at. The moment you land and step onto the shore, this favor will automatically kick off.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After docking your boat and stepping onto the shore in The Plains, you'll immediately drop into a pit.
  2. 2
    Prepare yourself, because you're about to face a Dreki. This one's poisonous and has some nasty new moves.
  3. 3
    Watch out for its poison blobs; it can shoot four at a time, which create poison pools on the ground. Just dodge away from these. Standing in them will poison Kratos.
  4. 4
    It can also spew a stream of poison directly at you. The good news is this entire attack can be blocked, and it tracks you, so be ready to block it.
  5. 5
    The arena might look bigger than it is. The lake in the middle isn't traversable, so you're essentially fighting in a giant ring.
  6. 6
    Be mindful of the arena's boundaries; if you're trying to run away, you could get stuck on something.
  7. 7
    On the flip side, you can use the arena's shape to your advantage. Running to the opposite side can give you some breathing room to heal or plan your next move.
  8. 8
    Once you finally defeat the Dreki, loot your spoils, and the 'In the Dead of Night' favor will be complete.
Tips
  • The arena's circular nature can be used for quick escapes to heal, but be careful not to get cornered.
  • Focus on dodging the poison attacks and blocking the poison stream.
  • Prioritize breaking the Dreki's stance to create openings for attacks.
  • Standard favor completion rewards (e.g., Hacksilver, XP).
