God of War has Favors that work as side quests. Usually, they task you with either finding a specific item or defeating a certain enemy. Favors are usually unlocked all throughout the story and you can do them if you want or leave them be. If you do decide to do them, this God of War Favors Guide will help you.
Our God of War Favors Guide will tell you about all of the Favors that you can find in God of War and will guide you as you try to complete all of them.
God of War Favors
The main reason for trying to complete these Favors is that they reward you with some great gear.
You can do them at your own pace and across all of the locations in the game. People who you meet in the Main Storyline will usually give them to you.
