Guide to completing The Anchoress mystery in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Learn how to unlock the church, find the Anchoress, and convince her to leave.

Alright, let's get this mystery sorted! The Anchoress is chilling in Oxenefordscire, north of Buckingham. You'll find her church there, but the main door is locked tighter than a drum. Don't worry, we can get in.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head around to the back of the church. You'll see a barred window – aim your bow through that and shoot the lock on the door. Easy peasy.
  2. 2
    Once inside, make your way down into the basement. That's where you'll find the Anchoress.
  3. 3
    Chat with her. She's been cooped up for ages and hasn't seen the outside world. Your job is to convince her to come out and experience life again. If you've got Charisma Level 3, you can use that to really persuade her.
  4. 4
    Once she agrees and heads out of the church, the mystery is complete!
Tips
  • After you've finished the mystery and the Anchoress has left, you can head back down to the basement. Look for a large shelf on the left wall. Give it a shove – you'll find a chest hidden behind it, packed with silver and other goodies. Don't miss out on that extra loot!
