There is no shortage of trials and tribulations for the Viking Eivor in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This is especially the case when it comes to the various clashes with the tough Order of the Ancients, and notably the subset of potent mercenaries and warriors known as Zealots. Even if prepared, these enforcers can give you a tough time with their powerful array of moves, tough defense, and erratic patterns.
In fact, even locating these elusive figures within the vast lands of England can be a struggle for some. This guide will serve as a handy blueprint to make this process easier and highlight the locations of each of the eight Zealots found on the left-hand bracket of the Order screen.
Most of these Zealots won't stick to a confined space, but rather, wander about a designated area—typically along a road or path—so if you're struggling to come across one, pull up the map and seek out the shield and cross symbol. Otherwise, wait for roughly a minute along any nearby main road, as they should approach within that timeframe. Of course, you can also opt to use Odin's Sight or your Raven to scout out the area.
There are a total of eight Zealots that can be sought after on the left branch of the Order menu. The names and locations are as follows:
Kendall
This Zealot can be found within the Grantebridgescire region, roughly in the east-central part of England. She typically wanders the road to the west of Walden, riding the main road that surrounds the Black Peak Synchronization point, which is southeast of Meldeburne.
While one of the weaker Zealots, Eivor also clashes with her early in the game, and she wields an unbreakable shield, which can make him a tough opponent. She also tosses spears and defends herself with smoke bombs.
- The recommended experience level for this area is 20, and the suggested power to fight Kendall is 90.
Cudberct
Cudberct can be found lurking in Oxenefordscire, which is in the southern-central area of England. Specifically, the Zealot can usually be found riding a horse along the forest roads to the west of Crepelgate Fort.
While residing in a fairly weak region, Cudberct can be tough with the vast range of his poison-laced spear, which he also tosses as you when far enough away, while using poisonous grenades and healing himself.
- The recommended experience level for this area is 90, and the suggested power to fight Cudberct is 160.
Horsa
Despite his name, the Zealot Horsa is not actually riding a horse, but rather, can be found walking along a road within the Oxenefordscire region, roughly in the central area of England. For reference, he is just southwest of Elisdon Altar.
His movement covers quite a bit of range and is fairly random, so continue scanning for him while following the main paths in this area. Specifically, he's been spotted many times a little way south of the Alne River
- The recommended experience level for this area is 90, and the suggested power to fight Hrothgar is 130.
Osgar
To find this Zealot, make your way to the border of Lincolnscire and Mercia. Here, you'll find a smattering of forests where Osgar will be wandering, typically to the northwest of Cruwland. He can be seen on horseback, usually within an area to the northwest of a Synchronization point, in southern Lincolnscire.
Osgar is less about size and sheer strength, and more about swiftness and range. He wields no shield, but he consistently fires multiple arrows, while also summoning backup soldiers and a hostile wolf companion.
- The recommended experience level for this area is 160, and the suggested power to fight Osgar is 220.
Woden
Search for an armored man with a helmet on horseback patrolling one of the main roads of the Cent region, in the southeast part of England. There's no precise place to pinpoint his location, but you can count on being able to intercept him along the road, as he won't ever wander off beyond it. Do a quick scan of the horsemen you happen upon within Cent, and he'll eventually turn up.
Woden himself isn't too tough to deal with if you're of the appropriate power level, though there are quite a few enemies in this area, so tread carefully when approaching. He wields a pretty sizable sword, and also tosses smoke bombs at you which can be disruptive,
- The recommended experience level for this area is 130, and the suggested power to fight Woden specifically is 220.
Heike
Heike is riding on a horse across the main road of Eurviscire, Essexe. While he stays on the roads as well, he can be particularly tough to seek out as her route and location is a bit more random than most Zealots. He has been spotted frequently just east of Brentwood Outpost, and the main pathway near the Agnitum Tower (also the location of a Synchronization point and a notable Mystery quest.
Heike wields a sword and shield, and won't hesitate to use them, swooping in often for with sword stabs and slashes. He also uses troublesome poison grenades and healing rations. There's also a good chance he'll have fighters assisting him as they pass by the road, so be ready to deal with them as well.
- The recommended experience level for this area is 160, and the suggested power to fight Heike is 280.
Hrothgar
Hrothgar can be located in the Suthsexe region, which resides to the far south and a bit east in England. This one is a bit less random, as Hrothgar will usually be found standing or walking in the woods within a limited area near a Synchronization point by the road southeast of Crawleah. He's also been spotted within the outer region of Crawleah.
Hrothgar wields a Dane Axe and also tosses poisonous grenades. This is compounded by his ability to heal himself with rations.
- The recommended experience level for this area is 160, and the suggested power to fight Hrothgar is 280.
Bercthun
Bercthun can be found riding a horse along a main road of the Hamtunscire region in southwest England. This Zealot travels along the main road that resides just north of Henge Farm, but can sometimes also be seen at the main gate of Wincestre.
Bercthun wields a small-but-potent Dane Axe and also attacks with javelins from a distance. He'll also light his axe on fire to add some additional carnage, so be careful when going in for attacks, as this damage over time can quickly whittle Eivor's health.
- The recommended experience level for this area is 340, and the suggested power to fight Bercthun is 340.
