God of War Ragnarok: Nocturnal Predator Walkthrough

This guide for God of War Ragnarok focuses on the Nocturnal Predator mission, which is a favor you can unlock by defeating the Fire Phantom in the Plains of Vanaheim.

Our guide will take you through the steps on how to unlock the side mission, how to capture Wisps, how to make Flame Phantom appear, and what tactics to use when fighting the mini-boss.

  • Rewards for favor
  • Unlocking the quest
  • Capture the wisps
  • Return to the Sigil plate

Rewards for Favor

  1. Kratos XP – 3,000
  2. Companion XP – 750
  3. Spear upgrade – Gale Flame
  4. Hunter\’s Brand – a unique crafting reagent used to upgrade armor

Unlocking the Quest

This favor can only be completed at night, and you can change the time of day by visiting Celestial Altars. There is one of these altars in The Plains region.


To begin, start exploring the central area of The Plains, which we\’ve marked in screenshot 1. You\’ll encounter violet-hued animals that have fallen prey to wisps.

Capture the Wisps

At each violet animal, you must attack it using the Blades of Chaos (R2) to capture the wisp. Repeat this step two more times.

Return to the Sigil Plate

The Sigil Plate is located in the central part of the region, which we\’ve shown in the screenshot.

Activating the Sigil Plate will make the boss, Flame Phantom, appear. The fight is divided into two phases that come into play alternately.

During the first phase, focus on attacking the boss. You won\’t do any damage this way, but a white bar in the upper part of the screen will fill up.


The second phase involves attacking runic springs in the vicinity. There are five of these springs to find in the arena.

  1. If a spring is easily accessible (as shown in screenshot 1), destroy it with melee attacks.
  2. If a spring is far away (as shown in screenshot 2), throw the Axe at it.

Once the springs become invulnerable again, return to attacking the phantom. To win, you need to destroy all five springs, approach the boss, and execute him by pressing R3.

Defeating the Phantom concludes this favor.
