Redwalda

Learn how to defeat Redwalda, one of the Order of the Ancients Zealots, in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Get tips on his attacks, weak points, and recommended strategy.

Alright, let's talk about Redwalda. This guy's a Zealot, so he's going to be a tough fight. He's got a big greatsword and an even bigger shield that he apparently can't break, so don't even bother trying to hit that head-on. He also likes to keep his distance sometimes, throwing spears and landmines at you. Just watch your step with those mines – they only go off if you actually step on them, so keep an eye out.

Strategy:

• Redwalda mixes strong (red) and light (orange) attacks. You can parry the orange ones, but you absolutely need to dodge the red ones.
• If you've got the Brush with Death skill, successfully dodging an attack will slow down time. This is your chance to get some free hits in without him being able to retaliate.
• Don't attack him when his shield is up. Seriously, hitting that shield will just make you stumble back and leave you stunned for a bit.
• Redwalda has weak points on his back and his right thigh. If you can hit these with an arrow, you'll drain his stamina like crazy. If you deplete his entire stamina bar, you'll get a chance for a super powerful Stun Attack.
• Try to stay close to him. The closer you are, the less he'll use his ranged attacks and the less he'll need to pull out those health potions.

Once you finally take him down, make sure you confirm the kill. You'll get a random powerful rune and some other supplies for your trouble.
