Most Efficient Way to Complete the Going Deeper Quest in AC Valhalla 

Going Deeper is a main storyline quest in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that can be accessed from the NPC Valka in Ravensthorpe. Initially, finding the plants for Valka’s potion may sound straightforward, but in reality, it is way more complicated as you have to traverse into the depth of an unexplored cavern to get the required items. 

To complete the Going Deeper quest, players must collect two (2) Fireweed and three (3) St. John’s Wort plants found inside a hidden cave north of the Dover Cliffs in the eastern Cent region.
