Description of the boss battle

Dreki uses primarily melee attacks - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat Dreki? - Bosses - God of War Ragnarok Guide

Dreki uses primarily melee attacks. You can block most of them, but be careful because some of them are yellow attacks.

Blocking them can break down Kratos' defense and expose him to further attacks. It is safer to make a quick evade.

One of Dreki's yellow attacks is a long jump. It is fortunately telegraphed in advance - you can easily dodge to the side.

Wait for the enemy to finish his attack and go on the offensive - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat Dreki? - Bosses - God of War Ragnarok Guide

Wait for the enemy to finish his attack and go on the offensive. Dreki is an agile monster and it is better, in our opinion, to use fast attacks. Heavy and charged attacks can miss or get interrupted.

After Dreki loses about half of his health bar, he will start using new attacks - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat Dreki? - Bosses - God of War Ragnarok Guide

After Dreki loses about half of his health bar, he will start using new attacks. His red attack where he charges up and releases energy is dangerous. As soon as you notice that the boss is preparing to use it, move away from him to get out of his range.

You won't kill Dreki right away, because you also have to do 2 quick QTEs:

  2. press Square to order Atreus to use the bow.

During the Creatures of Prophecy main quest in Vanaheim, you will encounter more Drekis - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat Dreki? - Bosses - God of War Ragnarok Guide

During the Creatures of Prophecy main quest in Vanaheim, you will encounter more Drekis.

This time it will be more difficult - you have to fight a pair of monsters.

Focus on attacking one Dreki. Use as many special attacks as possible and remember about Spartan Rage. This way you will kill one of the monsters as quickly as possible.

During the fight, watch the arrows appearing next to Kratos (we've highlighted an example in the picture) and listen to Atreus' comments - God of War Ragnarok: How to defeat Dreki? - Bosses - God of War Ragnarok Guide

During the fight, watch the arrows appearing next to Kratos (we've highlighted an example in the picture) and listen to Atreus' comments. They inform you that the other boss is about to attack. Evade those attacks and continue fighting the weaker monster.
