Follow our Assassin's Creed Valhalla guide to complete the Bleeding The Leech quest. Learn how to find and defeat The Leech (Sister Frideswid) and its allies.
Walkthrough
- 1Speak with Erke by the docks south of the Temple of Sulis Minerva to start the quest.
- 2Follow the contact who provides a lead. Use Odin’s Sight near the bridge to find a crate to hide behind.
- 3After the cutscene, follow the contact through Lunden, keeping a safe distance to avoid being spotted.
- 4The contact will reach Bodilsburg Garrison. Enter stealthily, keeping your cloak on and avoiding guards. Climb walls to reach the rooftops for a better vantage point.
- 5Use Odin’s Sight on the roof to locate the building the contact entered, southeast of the garrison entrance.
- 6You can sneak in or fight guards. For stealth, use rooftops and tall grass. A haystack near the building can be used to lure and assassinate a guard after whistling. Alternatively, shoot the guard from the rooftops.
- 7Inside, you will encounter Oija. You can threaten him, charm him (requires Charisma level 2), or claim to be a member of the Order of Ancients. Claiming to be a member is the only way to avoid conflict and find The Leech without killing Oija.
- 8If you fight Oija, he will be alerted and fight like a War-Band Chief. After Oija is dealt with, the garrison will be alerted. You can fight them or flee.
- 9If Oija is killed, he drops a Tool Order note revealing The Leech's location at the nearby forum, northwest of Bodilsburg Garrison.
- 10Enter the forum courtyard and make your way to the building at the northern end, assassinating guards in the narrow corridors.
- 11Inside, you will find The Leech, revealed to be Sister Frideswid, a member of the Order of Ancients, along with a Woe-Bringer. Attempt to assassinate Frideswid before being seen.
- 12If spotted, Frideswid will flee to the courtyard. Hunt her down and kill her. You will need to fight her, a Woe-Bringer, a War-Band Chief, a Blood-Vikingr, and archers on the rooftops.
- 13After all enemies are dead, confirm the kill of Frideswid to trigger a cutscene.
- 14Return to Erke at the docks behind the Governor’s Villa to complete the quest. You will have a choice to burn or keep Frideswid’s book, which has no significant story implication.
