Find Saint George's Holy Sword in Assassin's Creed Valhalla! This guide details how to unlock the River Dee, locate Deva Victrix fortress, and defeat the Champion to claim the legendary weapon.
Alright, so you're after Saint George's Holy Sword in Assassin's Creed Valhalla? Awesome choice! This legendary blade is tucked away in the River Dee, but getting there is a bit of a journey. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.
Walkthrough
- 1Unlock the River Dee: First things first, you can't just sail into the River Dee. You'll need to find two clues. One is on the River Severn, and the other is on the River Exe.
- 2River Severn Clue: Head to the Northern Monastery, which is way up in the northeast. You'll need to smash a window to get inside the main building. Once you're in, look for a door that's blocked by metal bars. Shoot the link holding it shut, then head back outside. The door will now be unbarred, letting you grab the clue from the table inside.
- 3River Exe Clue: Next, make your way to the Escanceaster Monastery in the eastern part of the map. Go to the biggest abbey at the top of the hill. The clue is waiting for you on a table inside. If you're having trouble spotting it, use Odin's Sight – it'll highlight it for you.
- 4Find Deva Victrix Fortress: With both clues in hand, you can now access the River Dee. The Sword of Saint George is inside a military fortress called Deva Victrix, located at the very end of the river. If you've activated the quest, a marker will guide you straight there.
- 5Breaching the Fortress: Once you reach Deva Victrix, you'll need to get inside. Make your way up the hill until you reach a drawbridge. You'll need to parkour across a branch to get to the fort. From there, shoot the links holding up the drawbridge. This will lower it, allowing your crew to join you inside.
- 6Defeat the Champion: After forcing open the red door, you'll face the Champion who wields the sword. Honestly, he's not too tough. Just focus on dodging his red attacks and parrying his lighter orange ones. Once you defeat him, make sure to confirm the kill to officially pick up Saint George's Holy Sword.
Tips
- Keep an eye on your surroundings in the fort; there might be other enemies besides the Champion.
- Don't forget to upgrade your settlement and gear whenever possible, as it makes these fights much easier.
- The River Dee raids can be challenging, so make sure your crew is well-equipped and ready for a fight.
