Fishing Lesson

Learn how to complete the Fishing Lesson world event in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. We'll guide you through Eivor's interaction with Nel and Walter, and explain the requirements to trigger it.

Alright, let's talk about the "Fishing Lesson" memory in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It's a bit of a quirky one, but totally doable once you know what's up. So, Eivor stumbles upon a little girl named Nel by a pier. She's convinced her brother, Walter, has been turned into a fish by a goblin and is hiding in the pond. Classic kid stuff, right? What You'll Need: First things first, to even get this memory to trigger properly, you'll need to have renovated the Fishing Hut back in Ravensthorpe. This unlocks the fishing line mechanic, which is super important here. Without it, you can't actually complete the task as the game intends. The Task: Nel wants you to fish out her brother. She'll tell you he has brown eyes, and that the fish you catch might smell like him. You'll cast your line, and Eivor will pull out a couple of fish. Nel will keep saying they're not quite right. Don't worry, this is all part of the setup. The Reveal: After you've reeled in a couple of fish, Walter, Nel's brother, will pop out from the bushes. Turns out, there was no goblin, no bewitched brother – just a couple of kids trying to get someone else to do their chores for them! They thought it would be fun to trick you into fishing for them. Your Choice: Now you have a choice: you can either give the fish you caught to Nel and Walter, or keep them for yourself. If you give them the fish, Nel will thank you, and they'll go off to swap them for brittle at the market. If you keep the fish, Nel will be a bit disappointed and Eivor will just walk away. A Little Warning: Be aware that the game specifically checks for fish caught with the fishing line. If you try to cheat and use arrows, or if you've already sold all your fish to the merchant in Oxeneforda, you might run into a snag. If you sell your fish, you'll need to catch at least one more bullhead or perch from the pond to trigger Walter's appearance. If you fast travel away after talking to Nel again, you might miss the chance to give them the fish, as the game will consider the memory completed with the 'no fish given' outcome once you re-enter the area. So, that's the "Fishing Lesson"! Just a bit of fun Eivor gets roped into. Happy fishing!
