Want to know how to complete Animal Instincts in God of War Ragnarok? Every day the snow storms of Midgard are getting stronger, frosts penetrate the bones, and every living being is trying to survive in all possible ways. One of the Raider tribes – Kols, is especially brutal in their search for food. They do not disdain anything and attack wolves to profit from their meat.

To complete Animal Instincts in God of War Ragnarok, Kratos will have to solve the problem in the only sure way, and our guide will help you with this.
How to Complete Animal Instincts in God of War Ragnarok
After returning to Midgard, you will find that the winter has become even colder, covering the world with a thick layer of snow and ice. At this time, you should go to the Lake of Nine locations and find one of the four Kol Raider camps. Here you will find them killing and eating wolves. Kratos will not be able to tolerate such insolence toward animals, and immediately after that, the Animal Instincts quest will begin. To complete Animal Instincts in God of War Ragnarok, you must find all four Kol Raider camps and defeat the Chieftain, Olaf Nautson. To get started, here is where you can find all Kol Raider camps:
- First Raider Camp. Head to the northwest of Lake of Nine. To quickly climb to the right place, you should use a sled.
- Second Raider Camp. Visit the southern part of Lake of Nine, and you will find camp.
- Third Raiders Camp. Next, head to the very center of Lake of Nine. You can find the Raiders right underneath Tyr’s travel table.
- Fourth Raiders Camp. Finally, head to the northeastern part of Lake of Nine. You will find the final Raiders Camp under the path.

As soon as you clear all the bases of the raiders, their Chieftain, Olaf Nautson will appear near you. Considering what opponents you have already had to defeat, the battle with Olaf Nautson will not be a problem for you, but here is what you need to know to kill him faster:
- Olaf Nautson uses the classic combo attack system. It combines block-break unblockable swings and unblockable slam attacks. He also uses slam attacks and a shield strike attack to restore some health.
- At first, the boss attacks quite slowly, and the combo attacks do not consist of more than two attacks. But as the boss’s health decreases, he becomes faster, and his combos increase.
- Use all your rune attacks at the beginning of the battle.
- Then dodge the boss’s attacks and damage him in between.
- While he’s hitting the ground and using healing, he’s vulnerable, so this is the best opportunity to deal massive damage.
- When his health is about to run out, he will hit the ground several times with his shield. It is the best opportunity to stun him and deal lethal damage.
Once you defeat the boss, return to your wolves, after which you will complete Animal Instincts.
