Brewing Rebellion

Find Sigurd in Buckingham: Locate the alehouse in the south of Buckingham. Use your raven to pinpoint its location. The area is a Distrust Area, so cloak up and approach cautiously. Enter the alehouse, preferably through a south-facing window at the back, to avoid drawing attention.

Gather Information: Inside, Sigurd won't be present. Speak to the woman cleaning a table by the door. You can pay her 130 silver, intimidate her, or use your charm (requires 2 charisma) to get information. She'll reveal Sigurd went to a fish hut southwest of the alehouse.

Locate Sigurd: Head to the fish hut southwest of the alehouse, avoiding guards. Enter through the front door. A cutscene will play, introducing Sigurd and Basim. Engage in dialogue; your choices won't significantly impact the outcome.

Reach the Longhouse: After the cutscene, head north to the longhouse to free Geadric. Follow the river along its western shore to approach stealthily. Enter through the front door from the north.

Confront Geadric and Eadwyn: A cutscene will introduce Geadric and Eadwyn. After the scene, you'll need to defeat Eadwyn's warriors, including a Standard Bearer. Exploit the Standard Bearer's weak points on his right arm and left leg for stun attacks, or position yourself so Sigurd and Basim can attack from behind. Deal with the Pikeman as usual.

Rescue the Thegns at Leah Villa Garrison: After securing the longhouse, travel to Leah Villa Garrison, southwest of Buckingham. Use your raven to scout the area and Odin's Sight to locate guards. Sigurd suggests a direct assault, while Eivor prefers stealth. A direct assault is faster and safer for the thegns.

Clear the Garrison: Upon entering the camp, a cutscene will show the prisoners' imminent execution. Swiftly eliminate all guards, prioritizing those near the prisoners and the executioner. Take out Arbalists first to minimize incoming damage. Engage the Skirmisher, a fast dual-dagger enemy, and be prepared for its swift jabs. Loot the Skirmisher for a Nickel Ingot.

Free the Prisoners: Once all enemies are defeated, free the thegns from the platform where the executioner was, then free the remaining prisoners from cages to the southeast.
