Complete walkthrough for 'A Fury from the Sea' in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, detailing how to assault Burgh Castle, defeat Rued, and rescue Oswald.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First Gate: Sail towards Burgh's Castle, raise shields against fire arrows. After the longship crashes through the wall, head west with the battle ram. Destroy the wooden barricade, prioritizing archers on the walls and then melee units.
  2. 2
    Second Gate: After breaching the first defense, defend the battering ram from ground and air attacks. Brace against arrow volleys (red circles). Focus on destroying the gate quickly, but leave to deal with nearby ground units as needed.
  3. 3
    Third Gate: Immediately after breaching the second gate, eliminate archers on the northwest battle tower. Valdis will join you. Then, target archers on the southeast high walls, using fire pots to your advantage. Help with the battering ram to destroy the third gate.
  4. 4
    Boss Fight: Defeat Rued: After clearing some initial warriors, climb the south wall. Conserve special abilities and arrows.

Boss Fight Details: Defeat Rued

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Rabid Wolf: Has a weak point on its side.
  • Rued: Has a weak point on his left foot. His sword attacks inflict fire damage.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Defeat the Rabid Wolf: Engage Rued's Rabid Wolf first. Use light and heavy attacks. Exploit its weak point on the side. Fire arrows can also be used for increased damage.
  2. Phase 2: Defeat Rued: Rued will ignite his sword, causing fire damage on hit. Dodge or roll immediately to extinguish flames. Target Rued's weak point on his left foot, especially with fire arrows, to make him vulnerable to stun attacks. Be cautious of his follow-up sword attack after a miss; rolling or quick light attacks are recommended. The 'Brush With Death' skill can provide an advantage by slowing time after a successful dodge.
Tips
  • Conserve special abilities and arrows for the Rued fight.
  • Use fire to your advantage, either by lighting arrows or using environmental fire pots.
  • When facing Rued, prioritize dodging or rolling to avoid fire damage.
  • The 'Brush With Death' skill is particularly useful against Rued.
  • Oswald is rescued.
  • Progress in the 'The Tale of thegn Oswald' questline.
