God of War Ragnarok: Nocturnal Predator - walkthrough
The Night Predator is a favor from defeating the Fire Phantom in the Plains of Vanaheim from the game God of War Ragnarok. The guide page explains how to unlock the side mission, how to how to make Flame Phantom appear and what the tactics are for fighting the mini-boss.
Nocturnal Predator is the title of a Favour (side quest) from God of War Ragnarok. Our walkthrough shows how to unlock this Favour (this happens in The Plains region of Vanaheim), how to capture Wisps, how to make Flame Phantom appear, and how to defeat him.
Rewards for favor
- Kratos XP - 3,000
- Companion XP - 750
- Spear upgrade - Gale Flame
- Hunter's Brand - an unique crafting reagent used to upgrade armor
Unlocking the quest
This task can only be completed during the night. You can change the time of the day by visiting Celestial Altars - there is one in The Plains region.
To begin, start exploring the central area of The Plains - we've marked this area in screenshot 1. You'll encounter violet-hued animals which have fallen prey to wisps.
Capture the wisps
At each violet animal, you must attack using the Blades of Chaos (R2). This will allow you to capture the wisp. Repeat this step two more times.
Return to the Sigil plate
The Sigil Plate is in the central part of the region - we've shown it in the screenshot.
Activating it will make a boss - Flame Phantom - appear. Similarly to battles against other Phantoms, the fight is divided into 2 phases which 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 5 of them to find in the arena.
- If a spring is easily accessible (example in screenshot 1), destroy it with melee attacks.
- If a spring is far away (example in screenshot 2) throw the Axe at it.
Return to attacking the phantom once the springs become invulnerable again. To win, you need to destroy all 5 springs, approach the boss, and execute him by pressing R3.
Defeating the Phantom concludes this Favour.
