Learn how to take down Reeve Selwyn in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's 'Choking the Gallows' quest. Get tips on assassination, crowd control, and finishing the fight.
Alright, so you've just finished up with 'The Reeve of Wincestre,' and now it's time to deal with that scumbag, Reeve Selwyn, who's secretly part of the Order of the Ancients, known as The Gallows. Let's get this done.
- 1First things first, you need to head to the market in Wincestre. It's located in the northwest part of the city. When you get there, a cutscene will play where Selwyn is bragging about executing two townsfolk.
- 2After the scene, it's your chance to take him out. You can do this however you like, but honestly, the easiest way is usually a headshot from where you spawn. It'll take him down in one hit. If that's not your style, you can sneak up behind the gallows and go for a traditional stealth assassination.
- 3Now, if you're feeling a bit chaotic and want to spice things up, there are two boars in pens right near where you start after the cutscene. You can release them! Just run away and let them loose on the guards. The guards will be totally distracted by the angry boars, giving you a perfect opening to focus on Selwyn.
- 4Once Selwyn is down, you've still got his guards to deal with. This includes regular soldier types and one tougher Banneret. Take them all out.
- 5After the fight, make sure you go up to Selwyn and confirm the kill. This will trigger a cutscene, and then the quest is all wrapped up.
- When you're going after Selwyn and his guards, be super careful with any area-of-effect attacks. There's a crowd of innocent people around, and if you accidentally hit too many of them, you'll desynchronize. Give them a moment to scatter before you unleash any fancy moves.
Completing this quest will wrap up the events related to Reeve Selwyn and advance the main story in Wincestre.
