Thanks for sharing your workarounds as well folks. We really appreciate it.

Hello all!

I've merged together several threads about "The Horn of Ragnar" together into a single megathread. This will help us to keep all information and updates from the investigation in one place. I apologise if any ongoing discussions have been disrupted by this merge.

I have looked through this thread, and it appears that issues players are encountering with this mystery are:

• The NPC for this mystery has spawned into the world dead, so the mystery cannot start.
• Unable to interact with either NPCs (Bron or the homeowner) during the mystery.

The development team have been taking a closer look at this mystery, and we'd like to collect some additional information to help with this:

• What steps were taken during the mystery? Did you take a certain NPC's side, or start the fight in an odd location?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried (such as reloading earlier saves, fast travelling, returning to the area later)?
• Would you be able to send us an image/video that demonstrates the issue you're encountering (such as dead NPC or being unable to interact with them)?

We can then pass this information along to the development team for a closer look.

In the meantime, a number of you have shared workarounds that have helped you to complete this mystery. I'd like to take a moment to share these again for anyone who is encountering trouble with "The Horn of Ragnar." Please give them a try!

• "If you still can see the dead body of the home owner or bron, carry them over to the nearest water and put them underwater. for me the home owner pretty much died again and then I was able to speak to bron." - Corndog1242
• "I traveled 500M away to Belas Knap. Carried an oil jug back, placed it next to Bron, shot it, pulled out a torch and waited for us both to catch fire. He died immediately and the home owner came strolling up the road with a speech bubble above his head." - ATXKriminal1985 
• "A better fix is to set the house on fire wait for a guard to investigate then kill him pick his body up place at the feet of the person you chose to die and throw a torch at the dead body this will kill them." - Scotthughes123
• "I carried him to the river nearby and he drowned with blood coming off of him. I was then able to speak to the burglar and completed the quest." - Mbrown9287
• "Very easy decision: set yourself on fire in the house with fireplace and than stand beside your target. He will set on fire too and die. You can bump your target to the house." - sours1000

Thanks all!

Hello there @AggrarN! Welcome to the forums

I'm sorry to hear that you've encountered trouble during "The Horn of Ragnar." Thank you for taking the time to share your report with us.

To help us to take a closer look at this issue, would you be able to send us a video which shows the following:

• You have the latest Title Update installed on your platform. You can view this information in the opening game menu in the bottom right-hand corner.
• You are unable to defeat either NPC following the burglary.

I'd recommend uploading your video to a sharing platform, such as YouTube or Google Drive, as this will allow you to post a shareable link within this thread. We can then pass this along to the development team for further investigation.

Thanks!

Hello there @pernaculos! Welcome to the forums

I'm sorry to hear that you encountered this trouble in your own game whilst progressing through "The Horn of Ragnar." Thanks for taking the time to share your report with us, and how you were able to workaround the issue to complete the World Event. I understand that the steps you took weren't convenient, and apologise for any impact that this has had on your gaming experience.

The dedicated teams are still looking into this issue further. If anyone else has encountered trouble when interacting with the NPCs during "Horn of Ragnar," and has not yet shared a report with us, please don't hesitate to do so within this thread. We can then forward these to the dedicated teams for use in the ongoing investigation.

Thanks!

Hi Vikings!

After thorough investigation, the development team is unable to provide a solution for the reported issue. When assessing the complexity of the issue and number of players affected, the team had to prioritize issues that had a comparatively higher impact.

With Post-Launch support for Assassin's Creed Valhalla coming to an end, we will be unable to roll out a fix for this issue.

We will now lock this thread.
