The AC Valhalla Dunvegan Village Brewer is the only quest giver on Skye Island, so to get 100% completion on this island, you’ll have to help him.

The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Dunvegan Village Mystery is very similar to the quests featured in England, and it is named The Drink of The Picts.

So, throughout the guide below, we’ll go over the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Drink of The Picts Mystery on Isle of Skye, which is the latest DLC area released by Ubisoft.

Let’s start with the Brewer’s location, which, as you can see on the map above, is Dunvegan Village.

On the Isle of Skye, Dunvegan Village is on the northwestern coast, and it’s quite an important landmark.

Once you get to this location, you’ll see the NPC or the AC Valhalla Isle of Skye Brewer walking around in front of a house.

You can also see the desperate Brewer in my screenshot.

When you approach the NPC, you’ll notice that he’s so upset that he has little to share with you.

In fact, the only thing he’ll tell you is that he wants you to leave because his life’s work is in crisis.

And that’s about it. Strange right?

Yet, your goal is to find what is wrong with the Brewer, and as you can guess, you have to help him.

To do so, look around, and you’ll see a round house nearby. You can also spot it in the picture above.

This is the Brewer’s house, and your next goal is to access it.

Therefore, go around it and destroy the panel made of sticks covering the window.

After you get inside the house, look around, and on the table, you’ll find a Stained List of Ingredients or a recipe on how to make the Drink of the Picts.

According to the recipe, you’ll need to find:

  • 2x Crushed Barley
  • 1x Wheat
  • 1x Firefly

Now, if you return to the Brewer, he’ll thank you for finding his recipe, and he’ll send you to look for the ingredients.

Or, you can skip the dialogue and start looking for the ingredients right away.

Here is how to find the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Drink of the Picts ingredients.

Drink Of The Picts – Where To Find Barley

Barley is usually found in sacks.

The first barley can be obtained from the bag resting on the Brewer’s house.

Head outside, then go around the house and loot the bags to get 1 Barley.

Great, now from your current location, head west towards the small hill, and you’ll see some pigs.

On the other side of the field is a small shack with two Barley bags. You can see them below.

Loot them, and you’re done with the Barley.

Loot some Wheat from the stacks.

Press it, and that’s it.

Have Something To Add? Do It Here:

  1. You forgot to mention that the fireflies and wheat have to be collected at night. You can mediate to switch it to nighttime.

    1. You are a lifesaver. I couldn’t grab the wheat and was so frustrated as to why, I was getting ready to curse the game for it’s bugs all over again like when it was first released. Simple enough, just wait until night.

      I guess patience does help haha

  2. I was able to get the firefly during afternoon but not the wheat then I came here to see if there was a trick. So I have to wait to night? Kinda makes sense but I was able to get the firefly so why is the wheat locked? Well, meditated till night and it worked
