Family Matters

Embark on the journey of Eivor Varinsdottir in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a Viking saga filled with adventure, intrigue, and family dynamics that affect the very core of your quest. In this guide, we’ll delve into the specifics of the Family Matters quest. You’ll learn how to strengthen your ties with your foster family and make critical decisions that will shape your path forward. This walkthrough is tailored for players on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Let’s begin by enhancing your father’s axe and engaging with your kin in the Northern lands of Fornburg.

Step 1: Visit the Blacksmith in Fornburg

• Upon your arrival in Fornburg, you’ll have a couple of quests available to you. Direct your steps to the quest marker located in the northern part of the settlement, leading you to Gunnar, the blacksmith.
• Engage in conversation with Gunnar, and he will propose to upgrade Varin’s Axe, a keepsake from your father. This enhancement includes the addition of a rune slot, which grants additional abilities to the weapon, preparing you for the challenges to come.

Step 2: Speak to Randvi

• After Gunnar has reinforced the axe, it’s time to return to Randvi to further the narrative.
• Randvi holds key information that will help you understand your next steps within the Family Matters quest line. She will reveal that to progress, you must first complete another pressing task in Fornburg, known as A Seer’s Solace.

Step 3: Re-converse with Randvi and Face the Jury

• Once A Seer’s Solace is concluded, seek out Randvi again. Your interaction with her will trigger a cutscene, providing a moment to lean back and observe the unfolding events.
• During this cinematic sequence, you will witness Eivor engaging in a pivotal dialogue with Styrbjorn, your Viking warlord foster father. This conversation serves as the climax of the Family Matters quest, marking its completion.

Step 4: Continue to A Seer’s Solace

• With Family Matters now resolved, your journey in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is far from over.
• Advance to the next chapter of our guide, A Seer’s Solace, to continue uncovering the secrets and forging the destiny of Eivor among the Norse and English territories.
