Favor rewards

1. Kratos XP – 1500
2. Companion XP – 375

Unlocking the quest

The What Lies Below favor is connected to the Return of the River favor, which we\’ve outlined in detail on a separate page of our guide.

To begin the quest, head to The Jungle and reach the dam. Blow up a portion of the wall to gain access to the other side. The quest involving the Dreki monsters will begin automatically.

Finding the Dreki monsters

You need to complete the Return of the River favor first, as the dam opens up during that quest. This will change the water levels in the area.

Head west from the starting point of the quest to find your new destination. Position yourself correctly and throw the Spear at the hole (shown in the screenshot). You can use the Spear as a climbing tool to reach the distant ledge and jump down into the arena.

Defeating the Dreki

In the small arena, you\’ll face a pair of Dreki monsters – minibosses you may have encountered in previous regions. Focus on one enemy at a time, using runic attacks and Spartan Rage to your advantage. When an enemy is stunned, press R3 to execute them.

Pay attention to Mimir\’s warnings about incoming attacks from the second creature, which may be out of your sight. Dodge to avoid getting hit. Once you defeat both Dreki monsters, the favor will be complete.
