Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Thorgest’s Drengir Guide

In the Wrath of the Druids DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you can find two powerful Drengir that you must defeat as part of a special side quest. Completing this mission will reward you with the coveted Thorgest’s Shield. Below are the detailed locations and strategies for defeating Blud the Giant and Hogne the Sea-Tossed, along with how to claim your reward.

Blud the Giant (Giant’s Causeway – Ulster)

Location: To find Blud the Giant, head to the Giant’s Causeway, located in the northeast corner of Ulster. Look for him sitting near some barrels.

How to Defeat Blud:

• Approach Blud, engage in conversation, and he will challenge you to a duel.
• During the fight, focus on hitting the three weak spots on Blud. Once you’ve struck all three weak spots, follow up with a stun attack to deal significant damage and stun him.
• After taking down Blud, you’ll receive XP and +1 Ulster Mysteries for your efforts.

Reward: Upon defeating Blud, you’ll earn valuable XP and progress in the quest.

Hogne the Sea-Tossed (Downpatrick Head – Connacht)

Location: The second Drengir, Hogne the Sea-Tossed, is located on the island of Downpatrick Head in the northern part of Connacht.

How to Defeat Hogne:

• As with Blud, approach Hogne and speak with him to initiate the fight.
• Use the same strategy as you did with Blud: aim for his weak spots and follow up with stun attacks.
• After defeating Hogne, interact with his body to perform a Viking funeral, giving him an honorable death.

Reward: Defeating Hogne advances the Thorgest’s Drengir quest and helps you towards unlocking the final reward.

Thorgest’s Shield – Unlocking the Final Reward

After vanquishing Blud and Hogne, head to Lough Neagh in Ulster. Here’s how to find Thorgest’s Shield:

• Location: Travel to the center of Lough Neagh (a large lake in Ulster). There’s a small island located in the middle.
• What to Do: Swim just north of the island and use Odin’s Vision to locate a hidden stash beneath the water. Open the stash to claim Thorgest’s Shield.
• Reward: The shield is a prestigious item and a fitting reward for your efforts. It will provide you with enhanced protection and add to your growing collection of powerful items in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

This guide should help you track down and defeat all the Drengir in the Wrath of the Druids DLC, and assist you in acquiring the highly sought-after Thorgest’s Shield. Completing this side quest will not only improve your gear but also deepen your connection to the rich Norse and Irish mythologies featured in the game.
