The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Elderly Farmer you’ll meet in Oxenefordscire region has one of the saddest stories in the video game developed by Ubisoft. And hilarious at the same time if you pay close attention to what the blind farmer has to share with you. Unlike the previous side-quest we have covered (Fishing Lesson), this one (called Nostalgia) is a bit shorter, and there are no special requirements. So let’s meet the Elderly Farmer, Rose. Yeah, that’s you.
AC Valhalla Nostalgia World Event Location
Ok then, so on my map below, you can see the location of the Elderly Farmer you’re looking for. He stands on a bench in front of his house, just south of Eatun Barn. You can’t miss it because when you get close, you’ll hear him calling her daughter Rose.
Now, when you get to the blind man’s house, you can talk to him, and he will start calling you Rose. Since Eivor has such a good heart, he’ll play along and indulge the blind farmer, who has a request. To help him carry some crates.
After the dialogue, you should read the note (Reminder) on the bench, then look around you, and on the right side, while facing the note, you’ll see three crates. Grab one of them and carry it to the shed where the farmer works. Place it on the ground, as you can see in my screenshot below. Make sure the crate is placed on the piece of cloth that is highlighted.
Good job, Rose. Now, do the same with the other two.
Should You Accept the Ring or Not
Right, so this chore is completed, which means that it’s time to take a break. Follow the blind farmer to the bench nearby and pay close attention to what he has to say. This funny character will tell you about Rose’s mother and how they met. He’ll also tell you about you, Rose, but the problem is that sometimes he’ll fall asleep.
The goal is to wake him up so he can continue the tale. Long story short, you were named after a cow. Yeah, that’s right. Rose (that’s you) was the name of a cow. Most likely a brown one. Grateful for your patience, the elderly farmer will offer your mother’s ring. And here, you have two options, as you can see below.
Both of them will end the quest, but consider this. First, you are not Rose. Nor the cow. So taking the ring would mean that you fool the man. Second, if you visit the man’s house, you will find an Old Letter From Rose (the daughter, not the cow). In that letter, it clearly states that Rose planned to return home, but as you can see, she never made it.
So, Rose is most likely dead, even though the cow may still be alive. If you decide to take the ring, you are stealing from a blind man and breaking any connection he left with Rose’s mother. Obviously, you’ll be able to sell the ring, but the Opal inside the house should be more than enough as a quest reward. Choose as you see fit.
If you interact with the white roses on the house near where you place the boxes, then the farmer will tell you that “your” mother is buried underneath the white-rose-covered oak tree just NW of the house. There you find 2 crosses/graves; one has a letter from the father saying he buried Rose and that he’ll never forget her.
You can return back to him after rejecting the ring, sit down to hear another story, take the ring, and place it on Rose’s grave.
If you visit the oak tree next to the house you’ll see that Rose is buried there next to her mother and you can leave the ring. You didn’t fool the old man he just needed you to go along with it so he could have a moment.
Anyone else have it glitch where you place the crates and nothing happens
