Requirement: Access to The Crater (Complete Favor: Scent of Survival)
Reward: 4500 Kratos XP, 1125 Atreus XP, Regenerating Essence Amulet Enchantment, Dragon Claw
Objectives:
- Find the source of the tremors
Starting Location: Quaking Hollow
Quaking Hollow is started automatically when hearing the tremors in The Sinkholes in Vanaheim.
Find the source of the tremors
Progress through the Sinkholes and open a gate near the dragon.
Continue through and kill the enemies across a gap, then burn the bramble above so you can swing across the gap.
Crawl through the gap and you will encounter what is creating the tremors, a drake named Crag Jaw.
Crag Jaw will deal a lot of damage with its attacks, but a lot of the attacks have a lot of build up. It will do regular swipes, unblockable bites and block break tail whips, all of which can be rather easily dodged due to the build up time (however the tail swipe has an especially long build up, so don’t dodge too early or you’ll get hit).
It will also do a charge attack, which can be blocked, and if parried will knock the drake over and allow you to get in some serious damage. The most dangerous attack it will do however is an unblockable slam attack, which will launch debris out in front of it, so you will need to dodge to the side to avoid this. When at range it will also launch barbs from it tail, which can be dodged pretty easily.
Once it reaches half health, it will start doubling up certain attacks, namely the swipes which will lead into a block break swipe, and more notably the ground slam attack will happen twice (even three times once it gets down to the final health bar). As the most dangerous attacks happen when right in front of the drake, it is best to try stick to the side and attack the legs, making it easier to dodge these attacks. It’s quite manageable to get a lot of hits in without taking any damage, which makes Permafrost/Immolation and their upgrades very powerful against Gravel Belly, as these will let you deal more damage if you can get successive hits in without damage.
Use your runic attacks, companion attacks and Spartan Wrath to make quick work of Crag Jaw’s health.
