Plucking the Quill Assassin's Creed Valhalla Quest

1. Find and speak to Goodwin

Head to The Nun's Minster and enter the church. Inside you will meet both reeve Goodwin and King Aelfred. The evidence you've gathered indicates that The Quill is calling Wincestre's children to arms so you decide to talk to some of them and try to learn something from them.

2. Tail the girl

When the king and the reeve leave the church then you will talk to the girl who is in the church.

You can give her some silver (115) to make her happy, but it's not necessary. Then just follow her to the nearby market.

3. Question the children about the Quill

When you reach the square then approach the two children trying to set fire to the hay sheaf. You will see soldiers trying to catch these kids but they will run away.

4. Find and speak to the girl / (Optional) Kill the bandits

Use the raven to locate the place where the children fled to. It will be to the southeast of the church. Head there and talk to them.

At some point, some bandits will interject into the conversation. You will be given the following options:

• Something hog-ugly. - You will have to fight the bandits and kill them.
• How about some coin? (230 silver) - If you pay them then the bandits will leave you alone.
• (Charisma 4) You want to die today? - With enough charisma, you will be able to scare them and they will walk away.

5. Speak with the girl

Once you get rid of the bandits, the kids will tell you where to find The Quill and give you the key you need to get to the sewers.

6. Find and assassinate the Quill

The entrance to the hideout is through the sewers near the river.

Enter the sewers and walk forward. You will have to squeeze through small passageways placed near the floor, and you will also come across some enemies. Eventually you will reach a large room. When you enter it you will meet The Quill there. After a short conversation with her, the fight will begin.

7. Kill the Quill

Hilda will use a crossbow and fire at you from above. You will also be attacked by a few elite soldiers. You can start by killing the soldiers at the bottom. However, you cannot shoot Hilda or run upstairs because she will then start running away. You can also ignore the soldiers, run up the stairs on the right or climb the wall, catch up with Hilda and kill her quickly.

If she escapes then she will run to the Bishop's Residence. There she will be guarded by several guards but a stealth attack will still be possible. After killing Hilda, this quest will end and you will receive a new one - Impaling the Seax.
