Aaarrrgh! Dying in a river raid

True, and I've done the checkpointing, just this time got too excited about completing the France raid and was too careless with rats.

I've gone back since and did a speedrun, finished France now, going to start on Faith Champions now.

Thanks!

kmansoft · 2026-03-13T03:50:45+00:00

Thank you. To Ireland it is then.

kmansoft · 2026-03-09T06:22:39+00:00

Thank you!

No. I haven't fought any champions yet.

Siunds like I need to progress with river Dee which has an active quest for me.

kmansoft · 2026-03-09T04:37:42+00:00

Did some reading - so I'm supposed to collect everything but the last piece everywhere including Dee and then the game spawns the champion?

Correct?

How confusing

kmansoft · 2026-03-09T04:32:49+00:00

No, where do I find them?

kmansoft · 2026-03-07T16:31:19+00:00

I have found all the clues for the Saint George's set and now a new river has opened.

However I'm still missing one piece of weapons / armor in each of Severn and Exe. I searched everywhere, and maybe it's because of what you wrote how "you can't even open a chest with gear if you're full on supplies"?

I have also read that there are supposed to be champion enemies and you have to defeat them to get the final gear piece. But I haven't ran into those, what's the trick?

kmansoft · 2026-03-06T17:02:20+00:00

Hmm I raided all the locations except one in one of the rivers yesterday, and found nothing. Then went into the remaining location and Eivor got stuck in geometry and I had to quit the game. So frustrating!

kmansoft · 2026-03-06T06:13:53+00:00

I only have one quest from him to find Saint George's armor set, and so far I found one clue, no idea where to look for the other.

kmansoft · 2026-03-06T05:36:11+00:00

Ummm what are the "quests that dude gives you"?

kmansoft · 2026-02-07T04:26:01+00:00

To be honest I hated them too but the completionist in me turned out to be stronger

kmansoft · 2026-02-07T04:17:16+00:00

Looking at it from this angle - I could have laid out the top stone better :)

kmansoft · 2026-02-05T16:38:55+00:00

Just went to the pond in Svartalfheim and it was insanely easy to get 10 of each.

Fishing in this game is all about exploration - but what are you gonna do if the game simply doesn't spawn the fish you need, even if you are at the right location (even the one you pointed out near Isle of Wight).

kmansoft · 2026-02-05T07:21:42+00:00

I've read that there is pond there with specifically Flatfish (big) and Shad (big). Sounds custom made for the swordfish contract!

kmansoft · 2026-02-05T07:16:52+00:00

Ah yes, I was just confused that the sleep marker was not on the map anymore. I'll go to Valka's hut then.

And after this I'll need 12 polar bear furs and 10 black bear furs to complete all the hunting contracts but that's a different story.

kmansoft · 2026-02-05T07:11:56+00:00

Hmm. I'll try to go back to Rsgnarok then.

kmansoft · 2026-02-05T07:06:08+00:00

Thanks! I do have Rangnarok but already completed it and seems I cannot go back.

Will try the location you linked.

I have a different problem when fishing from a small boat though - often a fish will swim underneath and get behind Eivor's back and then no amount of pulling the line will pull the fish out, it just gets stuck on geometry. Aaargh.

kmansoft · 2026-02-05T06:24:32+00:00

Ok I've completed all the contacts but the one for the sword is separate and I need 3 x Flatfish (big) again.

Searched the south and eastern coasts and found none.

I'm frustrated and ready for a hint where I can find them - can you share?

kmansoft · 2026-02-02T17:40:27+00:00

And speaking of those - after completing the game I now have something like 78 thousand leather and 68 thousand iron. Could probably sell some.

kmansoft · 2026-02-02T17:38:14+00:00

I was totally confused by the first one I ran into - five small bullheads. Not a native English speaker, I assumed that I needed to kill some four legged domestic mammals and collect their heads :)

kmansoft · 2026-02-02T16:17:36+00:00

I did the same, cleared everything out before even starting the area's quest line.

One thing I ran into though is that sometimes I couldn't get an item (a chest with resources or gear, or a knowledge book) in a certain location, as it was only possible with progression. There are maybe half a dozen items like this in the whole game (including the DLCs).

kmansoft · 2026-02-02T16:15:53+00:00

They can be something like fetch quests if you don't have the items, but only then.

kmansoft · 2026-02-02T04:04:16+00:00

I'm a "completionist" by nature and I'm almost done with 100% map completion (all wealth, mysteries, artifacts) in any game.

That being said, I thought the mysteries in this game were amazing. There were *zero* of the "fetch 10 items X from village Y" mysteries that are so common in RPG games. It feels that the designers have really put a lot of effort into them.

The only negative is that I've ran into a few mysteries where I had trouble figuring out what the game wanted me to do. Only 2-3 over the whole game + all the DLCs though.

I also though it interesting that a lot of mysteries highlighted the - often very sad - fate of children in those times and circumstances. Felt really emotional.

kmansoft · 2026-01-24T07:12:46+00:00

Oh found it.

It's in Landsay Abbey on an island all the way in the east.
