With the Alliance Map mission in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, players open up the option to pursue either the Grantebridgescire arc or the Ledecestrescire arc. Completing one of these quest lines will bring about the option to complete the other. The latter arc brings players back in contact with the Jarl of the Raven clan, Sigurd.
For those players looking to pursue the Ledecestrescire, players need to speak with Randvi and pledge their services for this region of England. This opens up the quest, The Sons of Ragnar. For those players looking to complete this quest in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, this guide is here to help.
How to Start The Sons of Ragnar?
In conversation with Randvi in the Longhouse, players can ask to see the Alliance Map and select Ledecestrescire. After a short conversation, players are sent northwest to the city of Repton. This location is the same as the viewpoint in the far northwest section of this region in the expansive map of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Players need only enter the partially-destroyed church at the southern entrance to the city to begin this mission.
The following cutscene introduces one of the two sons of Viking legend Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivarr. He eventually leads players to the main camp of this Viking outfit, where his brother Ubba and Sigurd are waiting. Next, players have to advance to the northern portion of the city and open up conversation with Ubba to advance the quest. This will prompt a section where the player must follow the group, and this can be made easier with the game's mechanic that allows for a horse to automatically follow the road (holding X on an Xbox controller) and automatically head to an objective (pressing Y on an Xbox controller).
How to Conquer Tamworth Fortress in Assassin's Creed Valhalla?
The group arrives at Tamworth in this region of England and gets to know the defenders of this city through a cutscene. From here, players need to head into the siege camp to the east and speak with the captain to begin the assault on Tamworth. The overall goal here is to break through each of the three lines of defense with the Viking ram. First is the outer gate, and each defensive structure allows players to either participate in the ramming or protect the allies on the ram.
In order to join the ram, players need only approach the ram and hit the prompted button. The key to destroying these fortifications is to bring the ram far enough back where the charge prompt begins to glow and then hit the correct button to charge. Each one will require at least a few charges before they break down.
With the final wall destroyed, players need to work their way up to the top of this fortress and take on the two elites of King Burgred. These are agile fighters that rely on dodges and daggers. A good approach is to allow this game's version of the Ragnarssons and Sigurd to distract at least one of the pair and parry the attacks of the other.
With these soldiers defeated, players have to enter King Burgred's keep, watch the cutscene, and investigate this area for clues with Odin's Sight. Report back to Ivarr (who is in the keep) when this evidence (which is in the eastern room) has been read.
