Complete the 'Family Matters' quest in Assassin's Creed Valhalla with our walkthrough. Includes tips for Flyting, Orlog, archery, and hunting reindeer antlers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to Fornburg and interact with locals. Engage in a drinking game with Tekla and a Flyting contest with Alvis to gain +1 Charisma.
  2. 2
    Speak with Gunnar to sharpen Varin's Axe. You can return to him later to enhance equipment with ingots. Enhance Varin's Axe to a Superior Bearded Axe.
  3. 3
    Speak with Randvi; the king is not yet ready. You can choose to complete 'A Seer's Solace' and return to Randvi, or complete side objectives in Fornburg.
  4. 4
    Locate and speak with NPCs marked by teal icons on your map: Tove, Svend, a Norse Man, and a Norse Woman.
  5. 5
    Tove: Find her at the southwest corner near the archery range. Agree to teach her archery. Shoot all targets, including mannequins and fire pots. Tove will give you a new tattoo schematic.
  6. 6
    Svend: Visit Svend, the tattoo artist, east of the central longhouse. You can view the new schematic, apply tattoos, and change hair style/color.
  7. 7
    Norse Man: Find him west of Randvi outside the longhouse. Speak with him to play a game of Orlog. Winning or losing does not significantly impact the quest.
  8. 8
    Norse Woman: Locate her northeast of the longhouse. She is a hunter and will ask for three sets of reindeer antlers.
  9. 9
    Hunt for reindeer antlers in the woodland west of Fornburg. Use cover and the ability Sýnin if needed. Be aware of wolves, bears, and boars in the larger woods to the west. You may need to kill more than three reindeer to obtain the antlers.
  10. 10
    Once optional objectives are complete, visit Valka for 'A Seer's Solace' northwest of Fornburg.
  11. 11
    Return to Randvi outside the longhouse in Fornburg to complete the quest.
Tips
  • Use Sýnin to help locate reindeer if you are having trouble finding them.
  • The woods west of Fornburg are dangerous; be prepared for encounters with wolves, bears, and boars.
  • You can return to Gunnar at any time to enhance your equipment using ingots.
  • +1 Charisma (from Flyting with Alvis)
  • New tattoo schematic (from Tove)
  • Progress in the main story.
