Requirement: Access to The Crater (Complete Favor: Scent of Survival)
Reward: 1500 Kratos XP, 375 Atreus XP
Objectives:
- Find a way to the dreki
- Slay the dreki
Starting Location: What Lies Below
What Lies Below is started automatically when entering the dam in The Jungle in Vanaheim and witnessing the Dreki.
Find a way to the dreki
Burn the bramble, then kill the Nokken and Seidr. Use the crank to raise the gates for the water to flow.
Use your Spear to create a path across and climb up.
Once you climb down the chain, you will face the Dreki.
Slay the dreki
The fight will actually be against two Drekis, and both of these Drekis will be lightning empowered. As they both have lightning abilities, this is the most dangerous Dreki encounter in the game, but if you focus on taking one out quickly it isn’t too bad. Unload all your runic and companion attacks on the first Dreki, then one or two Spartan Wrath attacks to fill your 
+ 
gauge on your weapon. Using this should be enough to finish off the first Dreki, which will drop a health and rage crystal to top you up.
For the second Dreki, use your remaining Wrath/special abilities if you have any left, then treat it like a regular Dreki fight, dodging/blocking its regular attacks and being wary of its lightning attacks. If it’s hiding in the water upon killing the first Dreki, use your Spear to hurt it a bit until it comes out.
This finishes What Lies Below Quest in God of War Ragnarok.
