May Queen, just like Spiritual Defense, is an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Ostara Festival quest you can play and complete only once during the Easter Festival. Unlike Spiritual Defense, though, it is a bit shorter, and it’s safe to say that it’s the funniest AC Valhalla Easter Event quest.
The AC Valhalla May Queen quest revolves around an NPC named Mayda, who has been chosen to be, well, The May Queen. However, as you are about to see, Mayda has a problem with the crown she must wear.
As you can probably guess, this specific mission starts at the Ostara Festival, which takes place on the eastern side of Ravensthorpe. Since this is a limited-time festival, complete this quest before the event ends. Simply check the festival’s location, and you’ll see Mayda in front of the throne, where her coronation is about to start. You can also see her in the screenshot below. Now, approach this young lady and talk to her.
As said, Mayda is not thrilled to be crowned the May Queen, mainly because of the crown she must wear. She’ll briefly explain that she wants a crown made from a beast instead of a crown made from a garden. So, your goal is pretty simple. Find a beast and make a crown fit for Mayda.
How To Hunt the May Queen Beast
After the cutscene, open your map and look west of Ravensthorpe for a location named Venonis. If you already finished the game, then you know where it is. If not, check the map below.
The Venonis fast-travel point is the one you should use to get close to the beast’s location. Once you get there, mount your horse and head northeast towards the quest marker on a hill. Now, look around and make sure you find the dead bear in my image below.
The carcass is by a rock, and you’ll have to investigate it. Basically, this is your starting point for studying a gruesome scene and figuring out where the beast went.
Tracking the Beast
After investigating the dead bear, you’ll have to find a series of tracks, which I will list below. To make the whole process easier, make sure you keep moving west and northwest from your current location:
- The first clue is on the large rock near the same dead bear.
- Another clue is found northwest after you cross the dirt path. You can see it below, next to some flowers.
- Finally, there is another clue several steps northwest from the previous one; however, you can ignore it and focus on the NPC atop the rock in the distance. Again, you can see the NPC in my screenshot.
When you approach the scared Anglo-Saxon, who doesn’t have a name, he will tell you that the beast you need to hunt is nearby. Now, without spoiling this quest, after the cutscene, you’ll have to fight for your life and eventually defeat Romi to receive the May Queen Crown.
Crowning the May Queen
Once you get the May Queen Crown, all you have to do is to get back to Mayda. She’ll be thrilled to see the beautiful crown you crafted using Romi’s feathers, and in exchange, you’ll receive 800 XP and 140 Festival Tokens.
Now, the Ostara Festival has a queen with a proper crown, while you can spend your Tokens at Norvid’s shop! Ready to start the Egg Hunt quest next?
