How to Start The Saga Stone?
As soon as Ringing Cyne Belle is complete, players activate The Saga Stone with a custcene that gives players the option to begin the assault on Cyne Belle Castle. The lead up to this invasion gives players the chance to weaken this castle (through destroying defenses in Ringing Cyne Belle) and the overall forces of Lady Eadwyn (through destroying supplies inthe Chipping Away quest). Regardless of how dedicated players are when it comes to weakening this castle, The Saga Stone drops players directly in front of first camp.
How to Break Through the Castles Defenses?
The first line of defense for the Cyne Belle Castle is a drawbridge being held up by a pair of chains. There is a destructible link on either side at the top of drawbridge but a Standard Bearer enemy guarding this location.Using Eivor’s bowand shooting both links will cause the drawbridge to collapse and unlock the next part of the invasion.
The next courtyard is filled with a variety of enemies, but the goal is similar to the previous section. This time around it is the main walls of the Cyne Belle Castle that need to be bypassed. Instead of approaching the gate, players need to head left and up a cart on to the wall. Once atop the wall, players need to enter the interior section of the wall and clear out the enemies inside. In the center section (the one just above the gate) is the wooden handle that can be interacted with to open the portcullis.
How to Defeat Lady Eadwyn?
Once inside the final courtyard, players open up the fight with Lady Eadwyn. This boss fight is uniquely challenging because it takes place in the middle of the invasion and there are plenty of enemies around that can get in the way. To make this easier, players should draw Lady Eadwyn away from the main courtyard and interrupting enemies.
Lady Eadwyn holds a polearm and features a series of unblockable attacks that are indicated by a red glow. Most of her traditional moves involve horizontal swings and strikes and are indicated by a yellow glow. With her defeated, the raid on Cyne Belle Castle comes to a conclusion. There is a choice here on what to do with Lady Eadwyn (exile or effectively imprison her) but this doesn’t impactthe rest ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Where to Regroup with Sigurd, Basim, and Fulke?
With the battle complete, players need to enter into the main portion of the castle. Just inside isa chest with the Shishi Guardwhile to the right is a stairway that eventually leads to a room where Sigurd, Basim, and Fulke are staring at the stone. Eventually this cutscene leads to another which introduces King Aelfred, but it features no major decisions.
