Mane and Tail

Guide to the Mane and Tail settlement quest in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Learn how to start it, who to talk to, and how to resolve the dispute between Holger and Rowan.

Hey there! So, you've just returned to your longhouse in Ravensthorpe after finishing up 'Reporting on East Anglia.' As soon as you step inside, you'll hear Holger and Rowan going at it. Don't worry, it's just a little settlement quest called 'Mane and Tail' that kicks off right here.

Your first step is to head over to Randvi. She's right there in the middle of the argument. Approach her, and she'll ask you to step in and settle things. Dag might get a bit grumpy about it, but he'll eventually wander off.

Basically, Rowan's pretty cheesed off because Holger has a habit of borrowing his stuff without asking. This time, Holger went too far and took some of Rowan's prize horse's tail hair to make a paintbrush. Rowan wants him to pay up, but Holger's defending his artistic endeavors pretty passionately.

You'll need to hear out both Rowan and Holger. Honestly, it doesn't really matter who you decide is in the right – pick the side that feels best to you. There are no major consequences either way, so just go with your gut. Stick around after you make your decision, though, because there's a little scene between them that wraps things up nicely.

Oh, and after this quest is done, you'll be able to see the horse at the stables. It'll be rocking that distinctive lack of tail hair, and you can even take it for a ride!
