Order of Ancients locations - Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Learn how to track down and kill all members of the Order of the Ancients in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
The fight between the Templars and the Assassin’s continue in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and as players make their way through the story, they will find themselves going face to face with the Order of the Ancients, a group of very-skilled enemies that players need to take out and assassinate. In this guide, we’ll break down all of the Order of the Ancients locations, which will help you track down and kill every single one of them.
Order of the Ancients locations
There are 30 enemies included in the Order of the Ancients, alongside 15 other Zealots that players can kill. We won’t be covering the Zealots in this article, as they are simply outliers within the Order and appear marked on the map when riding close to them. Instead, we’re going to focus on the main 30 members, which we’ve broken down based on their groups below.
To make navigation of this guide easier, we’ve broken down each of the different subsets of the Order of the Ancients below. Here’s a brief overview of the different groups:
