Quick Answers

What is the origin of the term 'drake' in Norse Mythology? toggle section
In Norse mythology, 'drake' is derived from the Old Norse term for dragon. The Dreki species, a dragon variant, originally hailed from Vanaheim. Some were moved to Svartalfheim by Mimir, following Odin's directive. Drakes, large reptilian beasts, are native to Alfheim and Vanaheim, and feature as bosses in God of War: Ragnarok.

How does Odin's interference affect the drakes in God of War: Ragnarök? toggle section
Odin's interference in God of War: Ragnarök is characterized by a cunning and vicious approach. He presents himself as benevolent, proposing peace to Kratos and Atreus. This strategic move positions Odin as the primary antagonist. Consequently, the drakes remain as common adversaries for Kratos and Atreus.

Codex[]

Drakes are a variety of dragons that originate from Alfheim, but thanks to Odin's systematic meddling with the ecosystem of any realm not his own, who bloody knows where they might show up? What drakes lack in height, they make up for tenfold in power—it isn't an odd occurrence to see buildings brought to ruin when one of them goes on a rampage.

God of War: Ragnarok[]

Drakes are a variety of dragons that are originally native to Alfheim, but due to Odin's interference with the ecosystems of the Nine Realms outside of Asgard, they are also found in Vanaheim. They are wingless dragons with tusks, and are incredibly strong, capable of destroying buildings during a rampage.

One was imprisoned in Alfheim by the Elves, which Mimir remarked as either impressive or terrifying. Two more were later encountered by Kratos in the crater of Vanaheim, where they grew to massive sizes. One of them caused immense tremors while another seems to have grown to a massive size by eating any creature it came across.

About three Drakes are fought.

  • Gravel belly
  • Crag Jaw
  • Slag Horn

Trivia[]

  • While no such creature exists in Norse Mythology, the word "drake" comes from the Middle Low German word for "dragon".
  • Drakes is the only boss (so far) that doesn't have R3 finisher nor executions, instead the drake will simply fall down.
  • The Drakes of God of war are a bit similar to the Behemoths a kind of dragons in Dragon's Dogma Online, both have no magic powers, both have spikes and tusks and no wings, using mostly physical power.
  • Some artwork shows there maybe plan for more Drakes and the green model was not used in the final game.
