Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an epic saga of Viking exploration, combat, and intrigue, where you follow the story of Eivor, a fierce Viking raider. In the quest titled Birthrights, you will undertake a pivotal mission to seek out your brother Sigurd and confront your nemesis, Gorm. This walkthrough will guide you through the mission, providing detailed steps on where to locate Sigurd and the tactics you’ll need to discreetly infiltrate Gorm’s cabin. Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of Eivor’s quest for justice.
Step 1: Locating Sigurd
- Upon your arrival at Alrekstad in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, your mission is to locate Sigurd, though the game does not pinpoint his exact location.
- To find him, use Odin’s Sight, a special ability that highlights key features and characters within the game.
- Sigurd will be marked by teal, glowing circles in town, close to where a drinking game is set up.
- Once you’ve identified his location, approach the building he’s inside to trigger a cutscene.
Step 2: Following Basim
- After the cutscene with Sigurd concludes, you’ll regain control of Eivor.
- Your next objective is to follow an ally named Basim.
- He will lead you through the town and guide you towards Gorm’s cabin.
- Remain close and attentive, as Basim is your key to progressing further in the mission.
Step 3: Infiltrating Gorm’s Cabin
- Basim will direct you to enter Gorm’s cabin, which is crucial for advancing your quest.
- To approach undetected, don your cloak by holding down on the directional-pad (d-pad) and selecting the cloak option.
- It is essential to move slowly towards the cabin to avoid drawing the guards’ attention.
- If you move too hastily, you risk alerting them and jeopardizing the mission.
- Once you’ve made it into the cabin, another cutscene will play out, detailing your next moves.
Step 4: Deciding Gorm’s Fate
- Following the events inside Gorm’s cabin, return to Sigurd, triggering another significant cutscene.
- In this moment, you will be faced with a choice that will determine Gorm’s fate.
- Your options include executing Gorm, exiling him, or deferring the decision to King Harald.
- If you choose to let King Harald decide, he will opt to banish Gorm.
- Ultimately, the choice is yours, but the quest will be considered complete regardless of the option you select.
Step 5: Continuing the Journey
- With the Birthrights mission concluded, your Viking saga continues.
- Proceed to the next chapter of this walkthrough, titled The Seas of Fate, to follow Eivor’s enduring adventure.
- The path ahead is laden with challenges and opportunities, so stay vigilant and ready for what awaits.
By following these steps, you should successfully navigate the Birthrights quest in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Remember to be stealthy, make decisive choices, and keep your wits about you as you forge your destiny in the Norse lands.
