What disadvantages does Beowulf face when approaching the battle with Grendel's mother?

The first disadvantage the hero Beowulf faces is the difficulty in locating Grendel's mother's lair. He tracks the blood from the mutilation of Heorot which leads him to a body of water, where he assumes that her lair is and dives inside.

Another disadvantage he faces is actually getting to the lair because according to the narration, he swims for a very long time underwater that is surrounded by monsters and dragons.
