Main Quests

Welcome, Raven Clan warrior! This comprehensive guide will navigate you through the epic saga of Eivor's journey, from the icy fjords of Norway to the sprawling kingdoms of England. Each main quest is broken down into actionable steps, ensuring you never lose your way on the path to glory and settlement.

The Raven's Journey

Your adventure begins in Norway, establishing Eivor's motivations and introducing key characters. This early arc focuses on foundational gameplay mechanics and narrative setup.

  • A Cruel Fate:
    • Objective: Escape Kjotve's ambush and seek vengeance.
    • Walkthrough: After the initial cinematic, you'll be thrust into combat. Focus on parrying and light attacks to conserve stamina. Follow Sigurd and his allies. You'll encounter your first Wealth chest containing Leather and Iron Ore near a small encampment south of Fornburg.
    • Strategy: use your bow to take out archers on elevated positions before engaging melee enemies. Remember to loot fallen foes for resources.
  • Honor Bound:
    • Objective: Prove your worth and confront Kjotve.
    • Walkthrough: This quest involves several skirmishes. You'll need to gather supplies for a feast. Head to the marked hunting grounds northwest of Fornburg to acquire Animal Guts and Raw Meat from deer and boars. Return to the longhouse.
    • Combat Tip: During the climactic battle with Kjotve, exploit his heavy attacks by dodging to his side and retaliating. His weak points are his head and unarmored back.

Settling in England: Ravensthorpe

Upon arriving in England, your primary goal shifts to establishing a new home for your clan. This involves building up your settlement and forging alliances.

  • The Swan-Road Home:
    • Objective: Reach England and establish Ravensthorpe.
    • Walkthrough: The journey across the sea is largely cinematic. Once ashore, follow Sigurd to the designated settlement location. You'll need to clear out a small bandit camp. Look for a Treasure Hoard Map in a chest near the large oak tree at the center of the camp, which will lead you to a minor treasure.
    • Location: The initial landing point is on the eastern coast of Ledecestrescire.
  • A New Home:
    • Objective: Build the first essential structures in Ravensthorpe.
    • Walkthrough: Your first priority is the Blacksmith and the Hidden Ones Bureau. Gather Raw Materials and Supplies by raiding nearby monasteries. The monastery at Sudwella, east of Ravensthorpe, is an excellent early target. Ensure you have at least 800 Raw Materials and 600 Supplies for both initial constructions.
    • Strategy: When raiding, prioritize opening the large chests that require two people, as these contain the most valuable resources. Use your crew to breach doors and chests.

The Alliance Map: Forging Bonds

The Alliance Map in your longhouse is your gateway to conquering England. Each pledge represents a new territory and a series of main quests.

Ledecestrescire Arc

Your first major alliance will likely be with Ledecestrescire, introducing you to the complexities of English politics.

  • The Sons of Ragnar:
    • Objective: Meet Ubba and Ivarr Ragnarsson.
    • Walkthrough: Travel to Repton, a large settlement in southern Ledecestrescire. The brothers can be found in the longhouse. Be prepared for a tense introduction. You'll receive the Raven Clan Helmet as a quest reward.
    • Important Note: Pay close attention to Ivarr's demeanor; his actions will have significant consequences later.
  • Bartering:
    • Objective: Help Ubba and Ivarr secure supplies.
    • Walkthrough: This quest involves infiltrating a fortified camp, Tamworth Fortress, to retrieve a specific item. Approach from the western wall, using stealth to eliminate guards. The objective item, a Ledecestrescire Treaty, is located in the main hall, guarded by several elite soldiers.
    • Stealth Tip: Use your Odin's Sight to mark enemies and patrol routes. Whistle to lure individual guards into bushes for silent takedowns.
  • Tilting the Balance:
    • Objective: Participate in a large-scale assault.
    • Walkthrough: This is a siege quest. Focus on destroying the gate defenses with your battering ram. Once inside, prioritize archers on the ramparts before engaging ground troops. You'll gain a significant amount of XP and Silver upon completion.
    • Combat Strategy: use your abilities like Dive of the Valkyries to clear groups of enemies quickly. Keep an eye on your health and use rations when needed.
