ATTENTION: Some parts of this guide may contain spoilers, so in case you don't want to anticipate anything about the game experience, we ask you to read this guide when you need it.
You can check how many Ancients you have killed and see your next targets and complete the quest "Destroy the Order" that the good Hytham will entrust to you, by checking the dedicated menu. The evidence that will be provided to you will read statements such as "Investigate the Farm in Aelfgarstun". This request will lead us to search for a useful document to discover the next clue and so on.
Finding all the clues is not strictly necessary for the appearance of these dark enemies, unless we will indicate it to you in this guide. In most cases, in fact, you will be able to ignore the clues provided and find the evildoer. We remind you that some of them do not always remain in the same place and at first glance they seem like very normal civilians (not even the Eye of Odin will be able to help you). For this reason, collecting clues is still useful.
Within this guide, we'll give you the clues you need to find all the Ancients and get rid of the Order. First, before you get the materials needed to find the first members, you will need to kill the six people who lead to them.
The members of the Order of the Ancients are 45, divided into two types:
- Zealots: There are 15 in total and they move within a certain portion of the map;
- Members of the Inner Circles: They are 30 and unlike the Zealots they can be found in specific places.
The former have no clue that leads to them. Fortunately, you can distinguish them thanks to the helmet icon, visible when the enemy is a few hundred meters away. As soon as you see this symbol appear, activate the Eye of Odin and your enemy will be permanently marked on the screen. By following this system, you can decide whether to attack it immediately or upgrade slightly and make everything faster.
We will list all the members of the Order of the Ancients by analyzing the individual branches. First the 15 Zealots (top left, bottom left, top right and bottom right), then the Members belonging to the inner circles (left, top left, top right, right, bottom ).
Better to be hunted or hunters?
If you were a defenseless prey, the answer might seem obvious, but in Assassin's Creed Valhalla you will be wearing the heavy robes of Eivor Wolf Bite, a powerful Viking warrior who does not fear death. This introduction is actually a piece of advice, in fact, during your wanderings you will have to make an important choice, which will lead you to be sought by the Zealots or to be ignored.
During the part of the plot that will take you to Ledecestrescire (the first Region you will reach in England), you will have to face the main mission "Heavy is the head" and decide whether to kill Leofrith or save his life. At this point we advise you to kill him and have the Zealots chase you, at least you will find them more easily.
Zealots (Left Branch)
Woden (Cent)
He is riding along one of the roads in the Cent Region. As we told you above, the path of these enemies is random, however we recommend that you head to the main roads of the Region. You will find it only on beaten roads, it does not like scrub.
Heike (Essexe)
You'll find her on horseback too, and like Woden she loves the beaten track. We therefore advise you to follow the same advice that you followed for the Zealot who wandered in the Region of Cent.
Bercthun (Hamtunscire)
Like all Zealots, it does not have a fixed zone and in the same way as the two predecessors it prefers the beaten roads. Also in this case we cannot tell you for sure where you will find it, but waiting between Wincestre and Fearnhamme you will have a good chance of finding it.
Hrothgar (Suthsexe)
Unlike his companions, this member of the Order of Ancients will be waiting for you in a specific place: in the woods of this region.
Cudberct (Oxenefordscire)
Let's go back to the Ancients on horseback, as always, they are characters in constant motion, but they respect a series of patterns. In fact, like his predecessors, he prefers the roads and never goes through the underbrush. As always, based on the images provided below, you can set a trap for him knowing that sooner or later he will pass by.
Horsa (Oxenforscire)
Here is another Zealot who does not wander on horseback, but he too will circulate on the beaten roads avoiding the scrub. The images below indicate its location southwest of Ravensthorpe, you can try to wait and see if it shows up.
Osgar (Lincolnscire)
This man will move within the Region in question, staying on the beaten track and never crossing the brush. You can find it northwest of Cruwland, as seen in the following image. So if you have time, an ambush would make it easier.
Kendall (Grantebridgescire)
Like all other Zealots on horseback, it will be difficult to understand its path, but in its wanderings, it will limit itself to following the beaten paths. You can then choose whether to check street by street or rely on the images below and wait for it to pass.
Zealots (Right Branch)
Beorhtsige (Glowecestrescire)
The branch dedicated to the Zealots continues, as you may have understood, it is not possible to tell you with absolute certainty where you will find these characters, therefore, we advise you to use their respective habits against them. In this case, as in the previous ones, our man rides only on beaten roads, zooming in on the map you can see all the roads in the Region. Or, if you want to simplify things and have a good amount of patience, you can wait for him at the point indicated by the map.
Wealdmaer (Sciropescire)
Like all other Zealots on horseback, Wealdmaer avoids brushwood and only frequents the beaten track. For the rest, if you want to find it, you have two choices: look for it throughout the Region or wait for it in the area indicated by the map, the choice is yours.
Glue
Unlike other Zealots, Cola will be harder to find, in fact, the woman rides near a river that runs from the southeastern corner of Eurviscire to the west of Lincolnshire. If you prefer not to go crazy and find it right away, the map below will show you where you can wait for it.
Callin (Eurivscire)
He will ride along the roads of the Sciropescire Region. We advise you to look for it in the main street of Eurivicscire. Like many of the aforementioned Zealots, Callin prefers the beaten path.
Eorforwine (Grantebridgescire)
The Zealot warrior will ride around the main roads of the Region. We advise you to scan with the Eye of Odin any person you see on horseback, sooner or later you will see that he will make his appearance. In any case, you can always follow the directions on the map below and ambush this member of the Order of the Ancients.
Redwalda (Ledecestrescire)
This warrior too, like her brothers, wanders on horseback crossing the main regional roads. If you have difficulty finding it, try to post at Venonis and with a little patience you can try to eliminate it.
Wuffa (East Anglia)
As with all other Zealots, as itinerant members of the Order of the Ancients, we advise you to scan all the characters on horseback present in the aforementioned Regions. In case you have problems finding it, you can always resort to ambush, a method that is certainly not very honorable, but very effective.
