Learn how to find and defeat the Mad Monk in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's 'A Prayer for Vengeance' mystery. Get tips on his hammer attacks and rune aura.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon a bit of a spooky situation in Suthsexe for the 'A Prayer for Vengeance' mystery. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds, and I'll walk you right through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, head towards the tomb. You'll hear the Mad Monk before you see him, which is always a good sign something weird is happening. When you get to the entrance, you'll see it's blocked by a barricade. Annoying, right? You can't just shove it open from this side.
  2. 2
    The trick here is that there's a crate on the *other* side of that barricade. You need to destroy it to clear the way. So, ditch the front entrance for a sec and head to the northeastern side of the tomb. Look for a hole in the stone wall – you should be able to spot it. Line up your shot and take out that crate.
  3. 3
    Once the crate is gone, head back to the southwestern side of the tomb entrance. Now you should be able to move that barricade inward. Go on in, grab all the loot you can find – don't leave anything behind!
  4. 4
    After you've had your fill of treasure, it's time to leave. But surprise! The Mad Monk decides to make an appearance and tries to ambush you. This is where you'll need to actually fight him to complete this mystery.
Tips
  • The Mad Monk isn't the fastest fighter, but his two-handed hammer hits like a truck, so definitely try to dodge out of the way.
  • His most dangerous move is the red rune aura attack. He uses it pretty often, so keep an eye out for that glowing red effect. If you can dodge that, you're golden.
  • Honestly, most of his attacks are pretty slow and telegraphed. Once you've seen his moves a couple of times, you should get the hang of dodging and be able to take him down without too much trouble. Just stay patient and don't get greedy with your attacks.
