While playing God of War Ragnarok you will come across many NPCs that give you side quests known as Favors. This is a new mechanic added to this game that makes tracking your main quest easier than ever before. And getting 100% completion for this game isn’t possible without doing them all. So in this guide check out what favours are in God of War Ragnarok, and check the list of the side quests in this game.
What are Favors in God of War Ragnarok?
Favors are nothing but side quests that you can take in GoW Ragnarok. When you complete them they can give you XP, various resources, armor pieces, weapon attachments, or runic abilities. The good thing is you will come across many favours as you progress through the game’s story. But if you plan to complete the game 100% then you will need to do some exploration. This is because not every favor in this game can be discovered by just progressing in the main story, which is The Path.
And to add to it many favors might even be unlocked the first time you reach an area. But unlock after you progress a bit in the story, so you will have to go back to previous sections to see if some new favour is available for you to complete. Don’t worry though if you do complete the game you should still be able to free-roam and go back to the areas before you start the new game plus.
You can check the favours you have unlocked by pressing the touchpad of your controller. Then press R2 and head over to the Goals tab. Here you can find 4 options:
- The Path: Main story of the game.
- Favours: Side quests of the game.
- Labours: Challenges that you can do.
- Artefacts: Hidden Collectibles in the game.
You can also check your map for a blue icon with a white symbol in it. This same icon can also be found on NPCs that give you Favours.
