Reward: 3000 Kratos XP, 750 Atreus XP, Hunter’s Brand, Gale Flame

Objectives:

• Capture the wisps
• Return to the Sigil plate

Starting Location: Nocturnal Predator

Nocturnal Predator can be started by capturing one of the three Wisps around The Plains in Vanaheim at night.

Capture the wisps

There are three wisps feeding on animals around the central area of The Plains. They can be captured by using the attack with your Chaos Blades on them.

Return to the Sigil plate

Head to the Sigil plate in the middle of The Plains and you will face a Flame Phantom.

This is essentially the same as the Frost Phantom you fight during the story, except there’ll be 5 pillars instead of 2. Flame Phantom cannot be hurt normally, so you must fill its stagger bar and then destroy its 5 pillars. To stagger it you must hit the runic orb at the centre of the Phantom, and due to the nature of the boss the best way to do this is by throwing your Leviathan Axe or your Draupnir Spear. Occasionally the runic orb will flash, and if you hit it while this is happening it will be stunned, allowing you to run in and attack it for more damage. Your companion’s arrows will do a decent chunk of damage during this, so be sure to use them with . None of the Phantom’s attacks are particularly dangerous, as you can simply dodge them all while throwing your weapons.

When it is staggered, you will need to destroy the pillars. There are five in the area and glow purple when they are vulnerable. You might be able to get 2 per phase if you are fast, otherwise you will need more phases. After they are all destroyed, stagger the Phantom one more time and finish it off.

This finishes Nocturnal Predator Side Quest in God of War Ragnarok.
