Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: who is the traitor in Grantebridge?
1. Getting intel from villagers
The first thing you should do upon exiting Soma’s longhouse to start the Stench of Treachery quest is scour the surrounding area for intel. You will see certain characters with speech bubbles above their heads. These will give you vital information, which you will want to make a note of. Here are the three main pieces of info you’ll get:
2. Off to Meldeburne
Now that you have something to go on, continue onto Meldeburne. You can attack this area to free your caged allies. There’s a chapel in this area containing a note. It reads as follows:
“Do not fire upon the longship painted yellow. That vessel carries the herald of our great victory”
The traitor painted their ship yellow. Finding this ship would be a great way to gather evidence, so keep that in mind for later.
3. Speak to the suspects
As part of your investigation you can speak to the three suspects. Each has their own mission, before which you can ask a few questions. Here’s what you can find out:
4. Following the trail of yellow paint
With more evidence to go on, it’s clear that the yellow paint is the key line to follow. Head to Soma’s longhouse, and drop down into the passage shown on the map above. Use Odin’s vision to locate yellow paint. A brief reconstruction will play out. You can follow this yellow paint all the way down to the river, where you’ll find a paint pot and evidence of a ship being hastily painted and launched. Time to track down that yellow ship.
5. Finding the yellow longship
6. Accusing Galinn
Without the yellow paint evidence, you might have chosen Lif as the traitor, given he is the only one with any real motive. After some sleuthing it’s clear that Galinn is the traitor however, so head to Soma to report in. You’ll be asked to present evidence and then select a traitor. Soma will kill them there and then, before heading to Grantebridge to take back the town.
7. Rewards for picking the right traitor
Once the dust has settled after the big fight at Grantebridge, Soma will thank you for your help. If you chose the correct traitor you’ll also be given a new conversation with Birna, who will ask to join your crew. They’ll be available for raids, or for just cruising down rivers whilst humming a song. You’ll also get a new shield from Soma for your troubles.
That’s who the traitor is in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. For more on the game be sure to have a read of ourAC Valhalla walkthroughor our look at whether or notyou should kill or spare Leofrith.
