Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (ACV) has 45 Order of the Ancients Target Locations. Eliminating all Order of the Ancients Members unlocks theDisorder of the Ancients trophy or achievement. This guide shows where to find all Order of the Ancient Locations.
You can keep track of how manyAncients you killed by looking at the Order Menu. 13 of them are automatic story kills and cannot be found outside of their specific main missions. You pretty much have to beat the story to get all of them. The other 32 are found in the open world. The Zealots are very strong and will require a high level and good equipment. For these reasons it’s recommended to beat the story first. None of the Order Members are missable, you can still find all of them after the story in free roam.
Defeating all Order Targets is also part of the questline “Breaking the Order” by Hytham. Build the Hidden Ones Bureau at your settlement in England and then talk to him. He’ll give you clues for the locations of 2 Ancients. Each member that you kill also gives you one Order of the Ancients Medallion that you can bring back to Hytham. He will give you Abilities in return.
FindingOrder of the Ancients Clues Explained
There are two types of Order Members: 15 Zealots which ride around specific regions on the map and 30 inner circle members whichhave fixed locations and are tied to the top members.
Normally, you’d have to kill an Order Member to get a Clue where to find the next one. You can view the Order Menu to see Clues on each one. They might say things like “Investigate Aelfgarstun farm”, which means searching for a document there that gives the next clue. Finding the clues is notmandatory to make them spawn (unless pointed out in the guide). In most cases youcan skip straight head to their location. However, some are walking aroundand don’t stay in place. They look just like civilians and don’t get marked by your Raven or Odin’s Sight. This can make it hard to point them out in a crowd. For this reason it’s very helpful to get the clues first if you’re having trouble findingan Order Member. The clue locations are pointed out in this guide. Then you can track them from the Order Menu and it pinpoints their exact location. To get the clues for the Ancients at the bottom of the Order Menu you must kill the 6 members leading up to them.
Zealots don’t have any clues leading to their location. Instead, they get marked by a white helmet icon
on the map when within a few hundred meters. Whenever you see them pop up, scan them using Odin’s Sight (R3 / Right Stick) and their location will stay marked permanently. This way, if you’re underleveled you can track their exact location from the Order Menu later. Zealots ride around specific roads, so they move around at all times. You can either wait at the road for a few minutes (locations shown in this guide) until they ride by, or yougo around the nearby roads and frequently open the world map to check for their icon.
We’ll go througheverythingin order of branches as seen in theOrder of the Ancients in-game menu.First the 15 Zealots from top left > bottom left > top right > bottom right. Then the inner members from left > top left > top right > right > bottom.
Important Story Choice
To save time it’s recommended that you have the Zealots hunt you. There’s a dialogue choice early in the story that determines whether Zealots will hunt you throughout the game or whether they will leave you alone. The advantage of having them hunt you is that they will come to you instead of having tosearch for them. Because they ride around and don’t have fixed locations they can be a bit tricky to find otherwise.
Pick this story choice to be hunted by Zealot Order Members (recommended to save time):
- During “Ledecestrescire” Story Arc (first region you pledge to in England) – Main Quest “Heavy is the Head”: After the Leofrith boss battle, you can choose whether to spare Leofrith’s Life “(Spare) Burgred abandoned you” or to kill him “(Kill) Pray to your god now”.Choose to kill Leofrith to make Order of the Ancients Members (Zealots) hunt you. If you spare him he’ll tell you of a scrollwith your name on it that you can burn so the Zealots never hunt you.

This unlocks a new main quest called “Ina Strange Land”, track it in your quest log. It requires you to talk to Hytham at the Hidden Ones Bureau. He will tell you to talk to Randvi. At Randvi you must select to view the Alliance map, scroll all the way down (south of where the England map ends) and a new map for Vinland will have appeared. Pledge to Vinland, then you get the objective to talk to a woman by the docks of your settlement. Talk to her twice to leave for Vinland. In Vinland you must solve 2 main quests to kill Gorm:The Hunting Grounds,Hunter of Beasts(click these links for full Quest Walkthroughs). The trouble is that Gorm doesn’t get marked and you’re supposed to find him in one of the camps in Vinland. He’s in the western camp called “Narfljot”. See his location on Vinland below.
The Father: Revealed by killing all other 44 Order of the Ancients Targets & finishing the main story. After beating the story (finished Hamtunscire story arc) and after defeating the other 44 members, return to your settlement Ravensthorpe and go to the entrance of the longhouse. Hytham will spawn there, he will call for you as you approach and get a new quest marker on him. Hytham won’t be in his Bureau of the Hidden Ones anymore, he has relocated to the entrance of the Longhouse instead. Talk to Hytham in front of the longhouse. He gives you a letter of his informant and this will trigger a new quest “The Poor Fellow Soldier”.
Go to the quest marker of “The Poor Fellow Soldier” (track quest in your menu). It leads to Hamtunscire, a little town called Aethelnay. Interact with the guy at the quest marker and a cutscene will play. During the cutscene it will be revealed that King Aelfred is the Father and leader of the Order of Ancients. He was the informant sending information to Hytham about Order Members. King Aelfred earned the title of Grand Maegester of The Order from his brother, but he loathed the Order and what they stand for. So he fed info about their leading members to Hytham & The Hidden Ones to kill his own Order of the Ancients. King Aelfred is in exile in this town and poses no threat, so Eivor will let him live. You get his Medallion automatically from the cutscene. After the cutscecne the Disorder of the Ancients trophy or achievement will unlock. Now return to Hytham at your settlement to drop off all Medallions and get Thor’sCape as a reward (which is needed to pull Thor’s Hammer out of a Stone in Norway, so do that next). If it says “Cannot use Fast Travel” after getting The Father’s Medallion (I had this issue too), go back to Hytham by horse (can use auto-ride on roads). After dropping off all Medallions at Hytham’s Hidden Ones Bureau my Fast Travel became available again.
That’sall 45 Order of the Ancients Targets and with their clues and locations in AC Valhalla. As a reward for killing allOrder of the Ancients Members you will unlock the “Disorder of the Ancients” Trophy or Achievement and Thor’s Cape. This also finishes the quest “Breaking the Order”. Remember that if your fast travel isunavailable (potentially a bug) after getting the Medallion from The Father you must ride back to Hytham at your settlement manually and give him the Medallions, then Fast Travel becomes available again.
