Learn how to defeat Mercian soldiers and Housecarls in Beodoricsworth and gather flowers for Njal in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's 'The Vengeance of the Berserker' quest.

Alright, let's dive into 'The Vengeance of the Berserker' in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This part is pretty straightforward: you're going to charge into Beodoricsworth with Bjorn and clear out the Mercian soldiers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Attack Beodoricsworth with Bjorn

    When you first arrive at Beodoricsworth, you'll be swarmed by regular enemy units. Don't worry too much about them; you've got Bjorn and Njal with you, and they'll help thin the herd. For crowd control, abilities like Throwing Axe Fury are great for hitting multiple enemies at once. If you're using a two-handed weapon, you'll get some good area-of-effect damage too. Just keep an eye out for the tougher enemies like Yeomen and Spearmen. Yeomen have strong defenses, so you'll need to use heavy attacks to break through. Spearmen are tricky – you can get a couple of light attacks in, but they'll block the third. Your best bet is to dodge and roll to flank them, then hit them with a few light attacks before they can get their guard up. The real challenge here is the Housecarl, who wields a flail and a seax. If you're using a fast weapon like a bearded axe, you can actually overwhelm them pretty quickly with a flurry of blows. The key is to not hesitate; if you give them an opening, they can retaliate with some nasty damage. Try to avoid getting flanked by them, especially when they roll around.

  2. 2
    Gather Flowers for Njal

    Once Beodoricsworth is clear, follow Bjorn to the northwest and leave the area. Bjorn's bear, Njal, is unfortunately near death. As a final act of kindness, Bjorn asks you to gather some flowers for him from near the Gallows Tree, which is south of Beodoricsworth. Head back there and use your raven to pinpoint the exact location of the flowers. Once you've collected them, meet up with Bjorn and Njal under the tree. A cutscene will play, and you'll have a few dialogue choices. Don't stress too much about these; no matter what you pick, the quest will conclude the same way.

Tips
  • When facing multiple enemies, using abilities that hit a wide area, like Throwing Axe Fury, can be very effective.
  • Against Yeomen, focus on using heavy attacks to break their guard.
  • For Spearmen, mix light attacks with dodges and rolls to flank them, as they will block after a couple of hits.
  • The Housecarl can be defeated quickly with fast weapons if you maintain constant pressure and don't let them counter.
  • Use your raven to easily locate the flowers near the Gallows Tree.
