Follow our comprehensive Assassin's Creed Valhalla guide to complete The Saga Stone quest, including lowering the drawbridge, opening the portcullis, and defeating Eadwyn.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Lower the Drawbridge: Spawn north of the castle gates. Avoid archer fire from the walls and defeat the Pikeman guarding the drawbridge. Shoot the links on either side of the drawbridge to lower it.
  2. 2
    Open the Portcullis: Once inside, head southeast towards the portcullis. Climb the walls on either side, avoiding oil cauldrons. Kill the soldiers operating the oil cauldrons. Descend the steps to the southwest to find the mechanism to raise the portcullis. Defeat the few soldiers guarding it (allies like Sigurd, Basim, and Fulke will assist). Hold the mechanism to raise the portcullis.
  3. 3
    Reach the Inner Courtyard: Jump down the hole in the portcullis room and head southeast. Be prepared for a boss fight with Eadwyn.
  4. 4
    Boss Fight: Eadwyn: Eadwyn wields a longspear and is fast. Parry her basic attacks, but be ready to dodge her second spear attack or flying kick. Her unblockable heavy attack requires a dodge or roll. Avoid her bombs, indicated by red circles on the ground. Target her weak points (left leg and right arm) to stun her. Interrupt her healing (indicated by a white aura) with an attack. Allies will help significantly.
  5. 5
    Decide Eadwyn's Fate: After the fight, you will decide Eadwyn's fate. This choice has no significant story impact.
  6. 6
    Loot and Regroup: Enter the keep and loot the treasure chest for the unique shield, Shishi Guard. Head up the stairs to the southwest and through the door to find Sigurd, Basim, and Fulke.
Tips
  • When approaching the drawbridge, keep moving to avoid arrow volleys.
  • The 'Brush with Death' ability is useful for creating openings during Eadwyn's attacks.
  • If you don't want to fight the soldiers guarding the portcullis mechanism alone, wait for your allies on the walls.
  • Eadwyn's allies can help significantly during the boss fight.
  • Shishi Guard (unique shield)
