Follow our guide to retrieve the arrow for Kenrick in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Learn how to reach Heald Tor, defeat the lynx, and complete this mystery.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon a little side-quest in Hamtunscire called "The Arrow in the Tree." Basically, this guy Kenrick wants you to grab an arrow from a cliff edge. Why? Because it's a romantic gesture for a woman he wants to marry, left there by her father. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, apparently, a bunch of folks have tried and failed, so now it's up to you to prove them wrong.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Heald Tor: This is where the mystery kicks off in Hamtunscire. You'll need to make your way up the cliff face.
  2. 2
    Ambush! Once you reach the top, don't get too comfortable. A lynx is waiting to pounce. Take it down quickly.
  3. 3
    Read the Letter: After dealing with the lynx, you'll find a letter on the ground. Give it a read – it turns out the daughter isn't actually interested in marrying Kenrick. Kind of a bummer for him.
  4. 4
    The Choice (Sort Of): You *could* technically just leave the arrow there, but if you want to complete the mystery, you've gotta grab it.
  5. 5
    Return to Kenrick: Bring the arrow back to Kenrick. You'll have a couple of dialogue choices, but no matter what you pick, the outcome for this mystery is the same.
Tips
  • The lynx can be a bit of a surprise, so be ready to dodge or block its attacks as soon as you reach the top.
  • Don't overthink the dialogue with Kenrick at the end; just pick whatever feels right and move on.
