Complete walkthrough for the Unholy Father quest in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, including how to enter the church without a key, find the priest, and obtain the Incendiary Powder Trap ability.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From Grantebridge, travel south to the church at Walden. You can use the synchronization point southeast of Meldeburne to shorten the journey.
  2. 2
    Meet Lif and his warriors southwest of Walden. Speak with Lif to learn about his role as Soma’s master shipbuilder.
  3. 3
    Lif will have his warriors distract the guards at the main gate while you and Lif proceed to find the priest.
  4. 4
    Head east from your meeting point with Lif, avoiding archers on the walls. Take them out with arrows if necessary to prevent them from raising the alarm.
  5. 5
    Approach the church from the southeast or northeast to avoid most guards. Use Odin’s Vision to spot guards. Keys carried by guards are not needed.
  6. 6
    Climb the large tree at the corner of the eastern wall to enter the churchyard, as climbing the wooden stakes is not possible.
  7. 7
    Once inside the churchyard, break a window on the ground floor to enter the church.
  8. 8
    Locate the priest at the southern end of the church, in front of a Book of Knowledge.
  9. 9
    Assassinate the priest and collect the Book of Knowledge to learn the Incendiary Powder Trap ability.
  10. 10
    Loot the minor treasures within the church.
  11. 11
    Flee the area with Lif. You can exit through the front gates for extra XP and loot, including a Carbon Ingot from a Yeoman, or leave the way you came to avoid guards.
  12. 12
    Return to the camp where you first met Lif and speak with him to complete the quest.
