Discover how to solve the Old Cellar puzzle in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Essexe region and claim the Mysterious Horn Tablet. Follow our step-by-step guide!

Alright, so you're looking to grab that Mysterious Horn Tablet from the Old Cellar in Essexe? It's tucked away in a cave, and the path can be a little confusing if you're not paying attention. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you need to get inside the cave. Once you're in, head east. You'll find a hole that leads you deeper into a series of chambers. It's pretty straightforward for a bit, but when you get to the first big chamber, you'll want to hug the right-hand side (that's southeast). Follow the ledge around this chamber.
  2. 2
    Keep going northeast along the right side as you start climbing. When you reach a new chamber that opens up, turn north and stick to the left-hand ledge this time.
  3. 3
    You'll enter another chamber where you'll see a small pool and a bunch of stalagmites. Again, keep to the right and follow the path upwards. This will lead you right to the cellar.
  4. 4
    Now you're in the cellar! Turn east, and you'll see an inscription on the wall. This gives you the clue you need for the puzzle. Basically, you just need to shoot enough wine barrels until Eivor makes a comment about being able to reach the tablet.
  5. 5
    Pay close attention to the links on each barrel – the ones highlighted in red are the ones you need to shoot. Once Eivor says, “The wine has filled the shaft, bearing my prize with it. I should be able to reach it now,” you're golden. Head to the center of the room, and you can grab the Mysterious Horn Tablet from the shaft.
  6. 6
    With the tablet in hand, head out through the door to the northeast. Before you leave, make sure to check out the treasure chests in the area – good loot is always worth grabbing!
Tips
  • The path through the caves is mostly linear, but always try to stick to the right-hand side when navigating ledges to avoid missing any turns.
  • Don't rush the barrel shooting part. Listen for Eivor's cue; it means the puzzle is solved and you can grab your prize.
  • Loot everything! Those treasure chests near the exit often have valuable resources.
