Go to the camp by the river to talk to Norman warriors. After a short while, Basim and Gaedrik will get there. It is time to start the assault on the Rouecistre Blockade.

Breach the gate

While your allies are trying to smash the gate with a battering ram, go and neutralize the springalds. Aim at the weak point of the structure and then shoot to make your opponent's weapon completely useless.

You can also climb the fortress's walls and finish off enemies and destroy their siege weapons with melee attacks. Your companions should be able to break through the gate themselves.

However, if the opponents manage to kill the warriors operating the battering ram, you will have to help them to smash the gate. Remember to move away from the gate to get the right momentum and then charge at the gate.

Escort the ram

Norman warriors will try to move the ram to another obstacle – you have to cover them - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

Norman warriors will try to move the ram to another obstacle – you have to cover them. Destroy the oil cauldrons placed on both sides of the main road, just outside the gate. You can quickly move to the other side by walking on the wooden beam.

You can destroy the cauldrons in several ways: personally (an option to sabotage), hit the weak points of the structure, or shoot the jugs with oil that lie next to them. The third option is definitely the best and fastest solution.

Then climb the defensive walls located a little further and destroy the next cauldrons - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

Then climb the defensive walls located a little further and destroy the next cauldrons. There are two cauldrons on each side of the path. The enemy guards will of course try to stop you.

The drawbridge has two weak points on the sides - handles connecting the bridge with chains. Aim at them (you have to stand on the slope) and then destroy.

Breach the gate

While your warriors move the ram to another blockade, shoot the red jugs standing on the wall above the gate to eliminate a few guards - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

While your warriors move the ram to another blockade, shoot the red jugs standing on the wall above the gate to eliminate a few guards. You can also climb the wall and finish the enemies in the traditional way.

Then enter the room on the right or left and descend to the level below - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

Then enter the room on the right or left and descend to the level below. You will encounter soldiers spilling boiling oil on your warriors – eliminate them and destroy the cauldrons. In the meantime, your warriors should be able to deal with the obstacle - if not, help them.

Alternatively, you can climb the walls, eliminate a few enemies, and then jump on the other side of the gate and destroy its supports. You will have to open the gate manually.

Find and capture Tedmund

Tedmund is hiding in the main tower, at the very top - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

Tedmund is hiding in the main tower, at the very top. The access to it is defended by an entire squad of enemies. You can use the main stairs of the fortress and fight every opponent you meet, or you can simply climb to the top of the tower and face Tedmund right away.

Tedmund fights with a flail and uses a heavy shield to block and parry attacks - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

Tedmund fights with a flail and uses a heavy shield to block and parry attacks. He can also switch to using two flails. We recommend starting the duel by shooting at his weak points: right knee, left elbow, right elbow. When the opponent is stunned, you can launch a powerful attack that can kill him instantly or deplete around 2/3 of his health bar.

Tedmund is not a demanding opponent and has no dangerous attacks - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

Follow Basim

After a while, Cynebert will come with his army to save Tedmund - Assassins Creed Valhalla: The Man Behind the Man - Cent - Assassins Creed Valhalla Guide and Walkthrough

After a while, Cynebert will come with his army to save Tedmund. Get on your horse and follow Basim, then watch the show. Unfortunately, the abbot's plan will not succeed, because somebody had previously poisoned Tedmund – the man is dying.
