Romance Options

While Eivor is a fierce Viking warrior, even the Raven Clan leader can find time for love. Assassin's Creed Valhalla offers several romance opportunities, ranging from fleeting encounters to more enduring relationships. These choices can add depth to your journey and sometimes even influence minor dialogue or quest outcomes. This guide will walk you through each available romance, detailing the steps required to woo your chosen companion.

General Romance Tips

  • Dialogue Choices: Always look for dialogue options marked with a heart icon (♥). These are your primary indicators for romantic interest.
  • Completing Quests: Most romances are tied to specific questlines. Ensure you complete all associated quests for the character you wish to pursue.
  • No Penalties: Unlike some RPGs, there are generally no negative repercussions for pursuing multiple romances, though some characters may acknowledge past flings.
  • Gender Neutral: Eivor's gender does not affect romance options; all characters are available regardless of whether you play as male or female Eivor.

Available Romances

Randvi

Randvi, Sigurd's wife and a key advisor in Ravensthorpe, represents a more complex and long-term romance. This relationship develops over time and requires patience.

  1. Early Interactions: During your initial time in Ravensthorpe, Randvi will often be found in the Longhouse. Engage in friendly conversation whenever possible, but do not push for romance too early.
  2. "Taken for Granted" Quest: This is the pivotal quest for Randvi's romance.
    • Trigger: After completing the Grantebridgescire, Ledecestrescire, and East Anglia arcs, Randvi will approach you in the Longhouse, expressing her desire to see more of England.
    • Location: She will ask you to meet her at the Oxenefordscire viewpoint, specifically the one overlooking the river near the town of Oxeneforda.
    • Steps:
      1. Travel to the Oxenefordscire viewpoint and speak with Randvi.
      2. She will suggest visiting a specific historical site. Follow her to the nearby Roman ruins.
      3. During your exploration, you'll encounter a group of bandits. Defeat them to protect Randvi.
      4. After the fight, Randvi will express her feelings. Choose the dialogue option with the heart icon (♥) to reciprocate.
      5. You will then share a romantic moment.
  3. Post-Quest: After "Taken for Granted," Randvi will acknowledge your relationship. This romance can continue throughout the game, and she will often be found in your bed in the Longhouse.

Petra

Petra, the huntress who establishes the Hunter's Hut in Ravensthorpe, offers a straightforward and charming romance.

  1. Build the Hunter's Hut: First, you must construct the Hunter's Hut in Ravensthorpe. This requires 400 Supplies and 30 Raw Materials. Speak to Gunnar at the settlement to initiate the construction.
  2. "A Little Problem" Quest:
    • Trigger: After the Hunter's Hut is built, speak to Petra. She will mention her brother Wallace is missing.
    • Location: Wallace can be found in a cave north of Ravensthorpe, near the river.
    • Steps:
      1. Follow Petra to the cave.
      2. Enter the cave and rescue Wallace from the wolves.
      3. Return to the Hunter's Hut with Petra and Wallace.
  3. "The Huntress" Quest:

    • Location: Meet Petra at the designated hunting spot, usually a forest area not far from Ravensthorpe.
    • Steps:
      1. Join Petra for the hunt. You'll track and take down a legendary animal (often a large elk or bear).
      2. After the hunt, Petra will invite you to shoot arrows with her. Participate in the archery mini-game.
      3. Following the archery, Petra will express her admiration. Choose the heart icon (♥) dialogue option to initiate the romance.

Stowe

Stowe, the loyal guard of Lunden, is a potential romance option, though his affections are primarily directed elsewhere. This is a more subtle and ultimately unrequited romance for Eivor.

  1. "Walls and Shadows" Quest:
    • Trigger: This quest is part of the main Lunden arc.
    • Steps:
      1. During your initial interactions with Stowe in Lunden, you'll notice his strong bond with Erke.
      2. When given the opportunity to discuss Stowe's feelings, you can choose a dialogue option that hints at Eivor's interest (♥).
      3. Stowe will politely decline, revealing his true affections lie with Erke.
  2. Outcome: While Eivor can express interest, Stowe will always choose Erke. This interaction highlights Stowe's character and strengthens his bond with Erke, rather than leading to a romance with Eivor.

Estrid

Estrid, the wife of the Ealdorman of Essexe, is a temporary romance during the Essexe arc.

  1. "Taken" Quest:
    • Trigger: This quest is part of the main Essexe arc. Eivor is tasked with helping Estrid escape her marriage.

      1. During the quest, you will spend time with Estrid, helping her prepare for her departure.
      2. At one point, you will have the option to share a romantic moment with her (♥).
  2. "Reporting on Essexe" Quest:

Tekla

Tekla is a minor, one-time romance option that occurs during a specific World Event.

  1. "The Rekindling" World Event:
    • Location: This World Event can be found in Sciropescire, specifically near the town of Wenlocan.
    • Steps:
      1. You will encounter Tekla, who is mourning her deceased husband.
      2. She will ask for Eivor's help in retrieving a specific item from a nearby bandit camp.
      3. After retrieving the item and returning it to Tekla, she will invite Eivor to share a drink and a moment of comfort.
      4. Choose the heart icon (♥) dialogue option to engage in a brief, intimate encounter.
  2. Outcome: This is a one-time interaction and does not develop into a lasting relationship.

Broder
