In God of War Ragnarök, Favors are optional side quests. They often involve helping NPCs, solving environmental puzzles, or defeating powerful enemies. Completing favors can grant Hacksilver, crafting materials, gear, etc. Some favors also unlock hidden pathways. While not required to finish the main story, favors are a key way to fully upgrade Kratos and Atreus, gain powerful items, and experience the depth of each realm.
