Navigating the narrative arc of Jorvik in Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings players face-to-face with complex political intrigue and hidden Order of the Ancients members. The quest titled Closing the Vault serves as the dramatic climax to this storyline, forcing Eivor to uncover a traitor operating from within the city's highest leadership circle. Completing this mission requires sharp deductive skills and tactical awareness as you investigate clues scattered throughout the Yuletide festival.
Investigating the Yuletide Festival Clues
The quest begins in Jorvik during the annual Yuletide celebration, where Eivor must gather evidence regarding the identity of The Vault. You will need to speak with several key figures, including Ljufvina, Hjorr, Audun, and Ricsige, to trace the source of poisoned wine and silver corruption. Keeping up with daily gaming news can help players discover additional quest walkthroughs and hidden secrets across major RPG titles.
Uncovering the Identity of The Vault
After gathering information around the festival grounds, the evidence points directly toward Councilman Audun as the true identity of The Vault. Audun orchestrates a deadly toast using poisoned wine intended to eliminate the city's leadership and cement the Order's control over Jorvik. Accusing Audun during the feast triggers a dramatic cutscene where his traitorous motives are fully revealed to the public.
Defeating Audun and Securing Jorvik
Once Audun reveals his allegiance to the Order of the Ancients, a chaotic battle ensues within the Royal Hall. Players must eliminate Audun alongside his personal guards while defending innocent bystanders from the surrounding chaos. Swift parrying and targeted ranged attacks on weak points quickly neutralize Audun, ending his reign of terror over the city.
Pledge Conclusion and Quest Rewards
With The Vault eliminated and the poisoned wine plot thwarted, Eivor meets with Ljufvina and Hjorr to conclude the Jorvik alliance arc. Resolving this crisis restores stability to northern England and secures a crucial alliance for the Raven Clan. Players receive valuable skill points, Order medallions, and progress toward completing the main storyline campaign.
