Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Njord’s Lament Mystery Guide

Njord is not only the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla God of the Sea but also a very unhappy NPC and quest giver you can find in Asgard. The AC Valhalla World Event you can complete by helping Njord is named Njord’s Lament and is the shortest in Asgard.

Before we start, make sure you follow the instructions below; otherwise, you’ll have to do some swimming, which is nice but time-consuming.

AC Valhalla Njord’s Lament World Event Location

As pictured on my map below, Njord is found on an isolated island on the north-western side of Asgard. Or in the upper left corner; however, you can notice that my character is located on the eastern coast of the nearby island. Make sure you reach that location first because you’ll find a boat. And this quest requires one.

Where To Take Njord

Good, so once you get the boat, head to the island where Njord is located. If you want, you can listen to his laments about Skadi (his wife), and you can also read the Unopened Letter nearby. It is a letter he received from his daughter, Freyja. Now talk to the drunk God, and he’ll tell you about his problem. That problem is Skaldi, who wants to return home to the freezing mountains.

Since she is a Jotun, those mountains are in Jotunheim, and obviously, Njord doesn’t want to leave his beautiful beach in Noatun for some freezing mountains. Not even for Skaldi, and he has a valid point. Who would want that anyway?

Your objective is to make Njord return to Asgard, and he will agree to do that the moment Eivor tells him that before leaving, Skaldi will most likely take everything from him. Although legally speaking, she is not allowed to do that before getting a divorce. That reason is enough for Njord to follow you, so head to the boat, and he’ll jump in.

Now, row your boat back to the shore where you found it, and Njord will get down. This will end the event, but if you pay close attention, you may see him returning to his island, back to his mead.

Possible Njord Quest Bug

Like most World Events, this quest may feature a bug for some players. Specifically, Njord will refuse to leave your boat, so you can’t complete Njord’s Lament.

If this happens, try crashing the boat into the shore by speeding up and hitting the ground. This will force the stubborn God to fall into the water and follow you to the island.
