This guide for Assassin\’s Creed Valhalla provides a walkthrough of the game.

This page provides information on how to identify and eliminate The Lyre, a member of the Order of the Ancients who is one of the five Maegesters. We also provide details on the personality of The Lyre and the six other members of the order who rank below him.

The section on the Order of the Ancients is still under construction, and we will add more descriptions in the near future.

• The Billhook
• The Anvil
• The Lathe
• The Ash-Spear
• The Tang
• The Crozier
• Maegester – The Lyre

The Billhook

Clue 1/2 – Kill a member of the Order known as The Vellum, who is described on the page for Maegester 4 – The Vice. Alternatively, you can kill The Anvil – we describe him in the next subsection.

Clue 2/2 – Visit Aelfgarstun in the western part of the Lincolnscire region. The clue is in one of the huts.

Havelok – The Billhook is located in the northern part of the city of Lincoln in the Lincolnscire region. You can find him in front of one of the huts or inside the building.

The Anvil

Clue 1/2 – Kill a member of the Order called The Scabbard, who is described on the page for Maegester 5 – The Keel.

Clue 2/2 – Visit Saint Albanes Abbey in the Oxenefordscire region. You can find the clue in the forge. If you do not want to fight, sneak into the forge to avoid enemies in the abbey. You don\’t need to start a raid.

Patrick – The Anvil can be found in Oxenforda, located at the western end of the Oxenefordscire region. You will find the target in the forge. The easiest way to kill Patrick is to use the hidden blade. There should be no guards in the area, but to be sure, leave the village quickly after the assassination.

The Lathe

Clue 1/3 – Kill a zealot named Horsa. He travels on the border of the Oxenefordscire and Grantebridgescire regions (check out the page dedicated to the zealots).

Clue 2/3 – Visit Buckingham in the Oxenefordscire region. You have to defeat the local orlog player (a dice mini-game).

Clue 3/3 – Go to Eatun Barn adjacent to Oxeneforda at the western end of the Oxenefordscire region. The clue is in the cave, which is accessed by a weakened wall – use an explosive shot or throw a red jug with oil at the wall. Go through the cave and move a large obstacle to reach the room with the clue.

Mucel – The Lathe can be found in Buckingham in Oxenefordscire. The target can be found walking around the village or sitting by the water. Wait with attacking until there are no guards in the vicinity.

The Ash-Spear

First clue – You need to eliminate a zealot named Wuffa, who roams around the East Anglia region. Check the zealots page for more information.

Second clue – Go to the Ruined Tower, which is one of the fast travel locations in the East Anglia region. Look for a cart at the base of the tower, where you will find the clue you need.

Gifle – The Ash-Spear can be found in the Forest Hideout, located to the east of Grantebridge town in the East Anglia region. You don\’t need to eliminate all enemies in the camp, just Gifle himself. You can either face him in an open confrontation or use stealth tactics, preferably with a reinforced hidden blade since he is an elite enemy.

The Tang

Wigmund – The Tang is a member of the Order, and you will encounter him during the Grantebridgescire region campaign. He is hiding in the Isle of Ely Monastery, which is part of the main quest called An Island of Eels. You can either attack the abbey or sneak in and assassinate Wigmund with a surprise attack.

The Crozier

Bishop Herferith – The Crozier is another member of the Order, and you will encounter him during the Lincolnscire region campaign. The time when you discover that the bishop is part of the Order depends on your choice during the Lincolnscire saga:

1. If you choose Bishop Herefrith to lead Lincolnscire, you will find out about his ties to the Order later on and must return to Lincolnscire to deal with him.
2. If you choose Aelfgar or Hunwald instead, an angry Herferith will immediately call for his soldiers. After defeating them, you can invade the Anecastre fort where the bishop is hiding.

Maegester – The Lyre

Tatfrid is Maegester The Lyre, and you will automatically discover his identity after eliminating six other members of the Order.

Tatfrid can be found in Grantebridge in the Grantebridgescire region, where he may be playing an instrument or engaging in other activities. Try to approach him from behind and use your hidden blade to eliminate him.
