Master the Raider Recruit Mystery in Assassin's Creed Valhalla! Learn strategies to defeat Ashild, Audbjorn, and Thorgils, and claim your rewards.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Raider Recruit Mystery in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, huh? Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you know what you're doing. You'll start by chatting with Rolf the Raider, and he'll have you follow him down to the docks where a bunch of his crew are hanging out. After another quick chat with Rolf, the real fun begins: he wants you to help pick a leader for his raiders by taking on three of them yourself. Let's get you prepped!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First up, you'll be thrown into a 2v1 fight against Ashild the Keen and Audbjorn. This can feel a bit overwhelming with both of them on your case, but here's the plan: focus on taking down Ashild first since she's the weaker of the two. Keep your wits about you, dodge a lot, and look for those counter-attack opportunities.
  2. 2
    Pay close attention to their attack tells. An orange flash means a regular attack, but a red mist with flashing runes signals a powerful move that can really mess you up or even incapacitate you temporarily. Definitely dodge these, especially Audbjorn's. When they miss these big moves, they're briefly stunned, giving you a window to land some hits. You can also parry their weaker punches by pressing 'Q'.
  3. 3
    Once you've dealt with Ashild and Audbjorn, you'll face Thorgils of the Thick Head. Honestly, he's not much of a challenge after the first two. Just keep up the rhythm of throwing punches and dodging when he's about to strike back.
  4. 4
    After you've defeated all three contenders, head back to Rolf to wrap things up.
  • 1,200 EXP
  • 40 Silver
Tips
  • Stamina management is key here. Make sure you always have enough stamina to dodge, especially when Audbjorn is coming at you from behind while you're fighting Ashild.
  • Don't get greedy with your attacks. Focus on landing a few hits when you have an opening, then get back to defending.
  • The parry ('Q') can be a lifesaver against their basic attacks, but don't rely on it exclusively. Dodging is your primary defense against their heavier, more dangerous moves.
