Where to Start Raising Iron?
From Dunwic Castle, players need to head northwest to Northwic and speak with Finnr. This character is located near to the long-abandoned Roman ruins in the southern section of this city. Speaking with Finnr launches a cutscene in which the survivors of the clash withthe Viking Ruedmake a plan to remove the clan from East Anglia.
Follow Finnr on horseback out of the city and towards Theotford, across the river, and to the southwest. Once inside the boundary of this small, devastated town, Eivor must seek out the local Reeve. This figure is where the roads cross in the center of town and speaking with him opens up the next phase of the quest.Regardless of dialogue choice, this figure will request that Eivor reclaims King’s Bury.
How to Clear King’s Bury?
King’s Bury is located to the east of Theotford, but players will likely be called on by a local as they move away from the Reeve. This optional conversation adds some background dialogue to the planned attack on Rued’s clan. Approaching King’s Bury’s eastern entrance will draw the attention of archers around the gate, but there are plenty of explosive jars to use to eliminate them. These become especially powerful tools when combined withAssassin’s Creed Valhalla’s explosive arrows.
In total there are over a dozen enemies spread throughout King’s Bury with at least eight within earshot of this particular entrance. Those looking to stealth their way in can turn to the bushes by the walls and pick off those guards in the open with one of the manybows inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. There are a further five enemies in the upper section of this outpost and most on in the form of archers. With all of these men defeated, the real challenge begins.
Inside the church are a trio of powerful enemies: Woe-Bringer and a pair of War-Band Chiefs. These enemies have more health than regular enemies, block more often, and the former can use unblockable moves.
Fighting them one at a time is the best strategy but, if that is impossible, parrying the War-Band Chiefs and eliminating them quickly will ease a player’s burden. Players need to climb to the roof of this church and blow the horn in order to summon the Reeve. Interacting with him will complete the mission.
