Page 21 - Walkthrough - Battle for the Northern Way

This quest begins immediately after A Cruel Destiny.

The aim is to reach Alrekstad in the northwest, but there are a few things you can pick up in and around Kjotve’s
Fortress before you leave.

Loot Kjotve’s Fortress

The first item of interest is located in a triangular building in the northwest of the fortress. Inside you’ll find a treas-
ure chest, next to a letter addressed to Kjotve from Guthorm the Wise. Loot the chest to find Iron-Star, a one-hand-
ed flail.

Note
It’s a good idea to try using new weapons as you come across them. Equipment in general is rarer in Valhalla, and
each weapon has the potential to introduce something new to your combat experience.

The second item of interest isn’t actually an item, but rather a Book of Knowledge which provides you with the
Rage of Helheim ability. You’ll find it in a hidden cave behind the waterfall located northeast of the temple. The
area will be listed as ‘Not Available’, but you can ignore the message in this case. Break the ice barrier with a basic
attack and collect the book from the stand.

(1 of 8) The location of the weapon, book of knowledge, treasure hoard map, and ingots.

Now that you’ve acquired the unique armor and ability, you’ll find three other pieces of minor treasure in the settle-
ment, as shown in the screenshot above. The first is easy to reach in a nearby house. The second is a Carbon Ingot,
which can be used to upgrade your equipment. To reach it, you’ll need to destroy a wooden barrier, located above
the main door, by shooting it. Once done you can climb inside and loot the chest. The third can be a little confusing
to find if you don’t know where to look; through a small cave opening behind three tents, in the southwest of the for-
tress.
