If you’re having trouble getting past this crocodile-like monstrosity, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will show you how to defeat the Dreki in God of War Ragnarok.
When I think of God of War Ragnarok, I think of a game that perfectly exemplifies the motto “simple to learn, complex to master.” It’s a game with enemies so different from each other and possessing such distinct dynamics, advantages, and vulnerabilities that you can never get comfy and mash buttons like crazy.
The game keeps you on your toes all the time. No time for autopilot.
To get past the main portion of the game, you’ll have to learn how to defeat the Dreki. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered.
How to Find the Dreki
Surviving Fimbulwinter was only the first mission in the story of God of War: Ragnarok. After a dinner party tenser than Christmas Eve with your distant, racist relatives, your protagonists arrive at Svartalfheim looking for Tyr, the ancient god of war of the Norse pantheon.
It won’t be long until you come across the Dreki in God of War Ragnarok. They are a hideous crocodile-like creature. Oh, and Atreus is thrilled to have found one! You precious, boy, you.
His sudden interest in zoology will remain unexplored, however, since the creature you’ve stumbled upon is dead. You might regard what happens next as a fortune or not. A living, breathing Dreki will come out of the water.

To learn how to defeat the Dreki in God of War Ragnarok, you’ll have to watch out for some of their deadly attacks.
The Dreki’s attacks involve tail-swiping, biting, lunging towards, and spitting at you. The last one is gross and inflicts damage from a long range. Wait, did we mention the lightning attacks? Yeah, there’s that too.
You must be especially careful with the lightning attacks. Dreki casts a mid-range lightning attack that surrounds them. This leaves you defenseless against their blows. If you see that they will kill you, don’t hesitate to use the Spartan Rage.
Watch out for the QTE to eliminate them. You can collect the Chaos Flame for the Blades of Chaos when you get it.
In short, here’s how to defeat Dreki in God of War Ragnarok:
- Don’t get cocky; prioritize parrying and dodging.
- Maximize every opportunity to counterattack.
- Keep hitting them until Spartan Rage is ready; unleash all your fury on them.
- Cheat sheet: lightning attacks must be dodged, not blocked.
God of War Ragnarok is available on PS4 and PS5.
