Exploring the historic city of Jorvik in Assassin's Creed Valhalla reveals numerous secrets hidden within its snowy streets and ancient fortifications. Among the most challenging puzzles in this region is unlocking the heavily secured wealth chest located inside the Cultist Hideout. To claim this valuable reward, players must track down three separate keys scattered entirely outside the city walls across the broader Eurvicscire territory.
Finding the First Cultist Hideout Key
The journey for the first key takes players to the eastern lands near the prominent Anlaf's Lookout synchronization point. You will encounter a heavily cursed area dominated by an icy tower that requires careful climbing to reach the top. Avoid the slick, frozen surfaces of the structure while navigating upward to prevent slipping back down. Once you get near the peak, shoot the wooden ladder latch to drop it within reach and secure the item.
Locating the Second Key at the Cultist Ritual
The search continues northwest of Jorvik at a designated landmark known as the Cultist Ritual site. Upon arriving at this eerie location, inspect the nearby frozen pond for thin patches in the ice sheets. Break the weak surface with your arrows and dive into the freezing waters below to claim an initial key. Use this newly acquired key to open the locked door inside the ritual shrine basement where the main asset rests on a body.
Tracking Down the Third Key Near Dalby Forest
The final component needed to open the locked treasure chest is positioned in a cursed zone situated northeast of Jorvik. Travel toward the edges of the dark Dalby Forest to find a massive, twisted tree standing in an open clearing. Unlike the previous encounters, obtaining this particular item does not require complex parkour maneuvers or subterranean exploration. The final key lies directly out in the open beneath the root systems waiting to be collected.
Unlocking the Jorvik Cultist Hideout Chest
With all three keys safely in your inventory, return to the capital city and head toward the house west of the Councillor's House. You can easily gain entry into this restricted building by climbing through the open roof structure or the rear window. Inside, use the collected items to open the locked chest and secure your reward of rare Tungsten Ingot. This valuable material allows you to upgrade your favorite gear sets to flawless tiers at any blacksmith shop.
