The ghost will ask you to find his missing son, offering Kratos a hidden treasure as his reward. From here on out, players can simply refer to the following steps to easily progress through this Favor in God of War Ragnarok:

  • Head up the nearby structure and use your Blades of Chaos to get across to the other side of the dock. Turn left and jump across the wide gap once you reach here.
  • Turn left near the end of the dock to enter a cave. Pass through the passage known as ‘Alberich Hollow’ to be ambushed by several enemies.
  • Quickly defeat these foes and pick up the bomb on the pot to throw it at the golden rocks that are blocking the way forward.
  • Once the rocks detonate, move forward to face off against even more enemies. Make sure to deal with the Nokken first to make the fight slightly easier.
  • Grab another bomb from the pot on your right and throw it at the golden rubble blocking your path.
  • Waiting behind the rubble is an Ormstunga. After defeating this rather troublesome enemy, you can grab yet another bomb from the pot.
  • Grab onto the ledge on the left side of the arena and head forward once again to find more golden rubble blocking your path. Use the bomb you previously collected to clear the path ahead.
  • Drop down to interact with a pillar. You should spot an illuminated treasure chest to your left.
  • Interact with this chest to open it and complete one half of the quest. Continue ahead to find the ghost’s son after looting the cache.
  • Throw down the chains and enter a dock. Hop onto the boat and row your way across to the Alberich Island dock.
  • Head into the island and deal with the enemiespresent there.
  • Aim and throw your Draupnir Spear at the air stream on the wall. Head to the top using the Spear to finally come face-to-face with the Ghost’s son.
  • Talk to him to progress in this quest. Now, players will have to find the third and final part of the quest, the hidden treasure.
  • Turn right and instruct your companion to use Sonic Arrows to detonate the green rocks in your way. Walk into this path to turn right and come across a geyser.
  • Throw your Spear at the water leaking from the rock and detonate it to unleash the geyser.
  • Swing over using your Blades to the platform below, across the elevator.
  • Move across the ledge to your right to turn around and detonate your Spear on another weak spot of a giant boulder in your path.
  • Kratos will come across a structure with chains. Interact with this to lower a gate, and throw your Leviathan Axe at the blue wheel to freeze the mechanism in place.
  • Instruct your partner to shoot out a Sigil Arrow in front of the gears.
  • Swing to the platform on the water, and head to the other side to recall your Axe.
  • Use the Axe to freeze the geyser in front of you and call down the elevator.
  • Once you’re on the elevator, recall your Axe once more to move up.
  • Kill the Wrenches in this area and then use your Blades to grapple across to the top of the island.
  • Keep pushing forward to find the glowing Alberich Island Lost Treasure chest. Interact with the chest to loot it and obtain your rewards.
  • Head back to the Dragon beach using the zipline and talk to the ghost to complete this Favor.
