You will encounter the Dreks after you enter the mining district of Svartalfheim. Some time after entering this region, Kratos and Atreus find Dreky dead. While they are examining the remains, the giant Dreki will appear and you will have to fight this creature. The creature has both AoE attacks and melee attacks that you’ll have to watch out for.
Having said that, here’s how to beat Dreks in God of War Ragnarok:
- While his health is still approaching a higher cap, he spits out water like a projectile to damage you. While dodging it, it can be useful to throw your ax once or twice in the opening phase.
- Along with that, more melee attacks, as well as Red Circle and Yellow Circle attacks will be directed at you. While you can still parry and block his yellow circle attacks, you will have to press X and dodge the red circle attacks.
- While you’re at it, don’t forget to hit this crocodile-like creature.
- Once you’ve dealt enough damage, yellow electricity will appear around Draka and you’ll have to be more vigilant now. This starts the second phase of your fight where you want to defeat the Dreks in God of War Ragnarok.
- The first electric attack will be a charged AoE that will appear in a small circle around him. You can avoid this by simply pressing X and exiting the action circle.
- The second AoE is Charged Lightning Spit, which has the potential to be more difficult. Since you not only need to dodge it, but also avoid the area where it lands before it clears.
- When facing all these attacks, make sure you use the opening to deal some serious damage. Use your accumulated Spartan Rage by pressing L3 + R3 to deal some serious damage.
- If you time your parries, dodges and blocks, you will soon be able to defeat the Dreks.
