AC Valhalla: who is Rollo’s traitor in the Essexe Old Wounds quest
The traitor who betrayed Rollo in the Essexe Old Wounds quest is Gerhild. You are given two options, Lork or Gerhild, and it’s clear from the available evidence that she is the one lying about her alibi. We’ll explain why later on in this guide.
Talking to the suspects
There’s another piece of evidence to check before making your decision, the hiding spot to the left of Gerhild. Use your Odin’s Sight ability to find it. Now, speak to the two suspects again. Lork will reveal that he wasn’t hunting, he was sleeping in the woods and then hid when the attack happened. Gerhild says she was meeting a lover, the Saxon that Lork spotted. With all of this evidence it’s time to make a decision.
Accusing the traitor
Given that we know that Gerhild hates Rollo for seeing Estrid, her having a Saxon lover seems unlikely. She also lies about hunting, and has no alibi for why she was left alive during the attack. Lork has a blood oath to Rollo, which Danes take pretty seriously. It is also mentioned that he is getting old and frail, which would explain the sleeping and hiding. It’s time to speak to Rollo and accuse Gerhild. She will be killed.
What happens if you make the wrong choice?
If you pick the wrong traitor, Gerhild will harm Estrid later on in the story. The traitor will still be alive, so you’ll basically have a harder time getting Estrid out of England.
So there you have it, Gerhild is Rollo’s traitor in the Old Wounds quest. For more on AC: Valhalla be sure tovisit our walkthrough. There’s also our look atcollecting all of the Ymir’s Blood Stones in Jotunheim.
