Follow our step-by-step guide to successfully storm Portcestre in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, including breaching gates, destroying defenses, and defeating Fulke.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Breach the Gate: Assist with the battering ram, destroying two blockades. Brace against arrow volleys. For the main gate, first destroy the springalds on the walls by shooting their red-highlighted mechanisms. Then, destroy the oil cauldrons on the east and west walls by shooting their red mechanisms. Finally, use the battering ram on the gate, waiting for a golden aura around Eivor for stronger hits.
  2. 2
    Destroy Palisades & Raise Portcullis: After breaching the main gate, thin out Saxon warriors. Shoot the fire pot beside the southern palisade to access the portcullis. Interact with the lever to raise it.
  3. 3
    Destroy Northern Palisades: Take out the springalds on the north walls by shooting their red mechanisms. Shoot any fire pots near them to eliminate archers. Use a fire pot to destroy the northern palisade.
  4. 4
    Enter the Keep and Chase Fulke: Make your way to the keep in the south. Kill the commander and loot the key. Enter the keep, defeat the Banneret on the first floor, and proceed to the top. Inspect the blood on the floor and the wall to the east in the torture room.
  5. 5
    Chase Fulke to the Church: After the cutscene, dive into the hay and use the zip wire. Fight through guards on the bridge to the east and continue to the church.
  6. 6
    Confront Fulke: Enter the church, triggering a cutscene. Follow Fulke beneath the church.

Boss Fight: Fulke

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Fulke's weak points are her back and her right foot.
  • Her red rune aura attacks cannot be blocked or parried; dodge or run away.
  • Her other attacks can be blocked or parried.
  • The Brush with Death skill allows for easy backstabs when dodging her special attacks.
  • The Grit skill can help replenish health lost from surprise attacks.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Fulke attacks from darkness and in the light. Use light and heavy attacks when she is in the light, but don't over-attack to avoid her block. Dodge or parry most attacks, but evade red rune attacks. Target her weak points when she is vulnerable after special attacks. She may retreat into darkness to flank you.
  2. Phase 2: Fulke may attempt to throw fire bombs from the darkness.

Strategy:

  • When Fulke is in the light, attack with a combination of light and heavy attacks, but disengage before she blocks.
  • Dodge or parry her standard attacks.
  • When she uses red rune attacks, dodge or run away.
  • Use dodges to create openings to attack her weak points (back and right foot).
  • Be aware of her movements when she retreats into darkness to anticipate her attacks.
  • If hit by a surprise attack, use the Grit skill to recover health.
  • Progress in the main story.
  • Experience points.
