Follow our Assassin's Creed Valhalla guide to complete the Childhood Sweetheart quest. Learn how to find Eluric and rescue Alfida from Brentwood Outpost in Essexe.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As you approach Maeldun, use your raven to scout. You'll find a house guarded by hostiles. Stay cloaked to remain unseen. The guards mention they have the woman they came for, but someone else is wounded nearby.
  2. 2
    Find the wounded person, Eluric (Alfida's brother), in a small wooden hut southeast of the main house. Break the wooden barricade to speak with him without alerting guards, or eliminate the guards first.
  3. 3
    After speaking with Eluric, you'll learn Alfida is at Brentwood Outpost, far west in Essexe.
  4. 4
    Approach Brentwood Outpost and use your raven to scout. The outpost is heavily guarded. The quickest path to Alfida is from the west.
  5. 5
    Kill the guards at the eastern entrance, then climb the tower to its left. Kill the guard atop the tower to avoid detection.
  6. 6
    From the tower, look east. Use the rope and wooden posts to reach Alfida's building unseen. Use Odin's Sight to identify the building and follow the rope system until you are just north of it.
  7. 7
    Jump down and use the bushes for cover. You'll hear Alfida shouting from inside the building.
  8. 8
    Find the Standard-Bearer patrolling to the south. You need his key to enter the building. Engage and defeat the guards around him.
  9. 9
    Approach the Standard-Bearer and assassinate him. If you have the Advanced Assassination skill, you can kill him in one hit.
  10. 10
    With the key, return to the building and enter. Alfida is inside but cannot walk.
  11. 11
    Carry Alfida out of the camp. The objective will update to Lake House, located to the northeast.
  12. 12
    Carry Alfida to Lake House to trigger a cutscene and dialogue options.
