Path of Destruction is one of the favors in God of War Ragnarök.
How to Start: Path of Destruction[]
While exploring The Jungle region, you might come across some big paw prints on the ground, you can interact with them, but that's it. To start the quest related to those prints, you must complete the favor called "Return of the River" and make sure you're playing during the day. Next, travel to The Jungle Entrance Mystic Gateway, and once you're there, get on the nearest boat and paddle forward, then go to the right, where you will find a dock to leave your boat in. Go up the stairs and move through the rock walls to get to an open area. If this is your first time here, there will be a couple of enemies, including some trolls and two Nokkens. Deal with the Nokkens first and then focus on the trolls.
Now that the area is safe use your blades to clear the debris blocking the bridge (this bridge won't be available if you're in this area during nighttime) Cross the bridge using your blades and keep moving forward, then turn right and jump the gap to get to the other side. Keep moving following the path; eventually, you will reach a structure. Inspect the big track just outside the entrance and then enter through the arch. You will need to shimmy along the wall to get to the area where the creature nests. However, the creature is nowhere to be seen. You need to drop down the big hole in the middle of the area to enter a cage. However, the creature is nowhere to be seen. You need to drop down the big hole in the middle of the area to enter a cage. Once inside the cage, look up and throw your axe at the structure above the gear.
Doing so will lift up the cage's bar. You have to be quick, so once the bars are high enough, throw your axe at the gear to freeze them in place, so they'll stay open. Now exit the cage and go outside; you will see a couple of Gullons, don't kill them and instead lure them inside the cage. Once the Gullons are inside the cage, retrieve your axe to close the cage's bars to trap them and use them as bait. With the Gullons inside the cage, interact with the chains outside the cage to lift them Gullons up. This will lure the Drake out of hiding. Now, get on a boat and head back to the big open area from before. This time the Drake will be there, and you will need to fight it.
