How to Locate and Defeat The Lyre in AC Valhalla? – Full Guide

Every protagonist in each of the Assassin’s Creed games has one goal in particular, i.e., to defeat the Templars or Order of the Ancients corrupting their land. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s main character Eivor follows the same route. From fighting for peace in England to discovering the true purpose of hidden assassins, Eivor has to deal with the Maegesters of the Order of the Ancients to continue his journey in the game.

One such Maegester is the Lyre a.k.a Tatfrid who needs to be eliminated for the sake of peace. If you’re struggling to find this man and cannot seem to locate his whereabouts, here’s something that might help you find him quickly.

First things first, make sure you have eliminated all the other members of the Order (Billhook, Anvil, Lathe, Ash-Spear, Tang, and Crozier) before you try to locate the Lyre, since his location will only be marked after the members’ death.

1. Where is the Lyre Located in AC Valhalla?

The Lyre also known as Tatfrid can be found roaming in Grantebridge in the region Grantebridgescire of the AC Valhalla Map. The Lyre will likely be roaming around the town, playing instruments or leisurely strolling, so players have to be careful to not get spotted by him.

A sneak kill is necessary to take him down without the chance of getting exposed.

2. How to Defeat the Lyre?

In order to defeat the Lyre, players need to perform a sneak kill on him with the hidden knife. Just approach him while sneaking and perform the action to get rid of this corrupt Maegester once and for all.

But, do remember you need to eliminate some specific members of the Order to even get to Tatfrid. So, let’s take a look at how many members you need to defeat.

3. All Members to Defeat with Locations

There are a total of 6 members Eivor needs to defeat before trying to eliminate the Maegester Lyre according to the Order Tree in the game’s menu.

I. The Billhook

The Billhook a.k.a Havelok can be found inside one of the huts located in the northern side of Lincoln city in Lincolnscire. Players can sneak up to him and perform an assassination.

II. The Anvil

The Anvil a.k.a Patrick can be found near the Forge at the western side of Oxenefordscire’s Oxenforda. The hidden blade can eliminate this member of the Order as well.

III. The Lathe

The Lathe a.k.a Mucel can be found walking around the village of Buckingham in Oxenefordscire. Players need to wait a bit before attacking so as to not alarm any of the guards.

IV. The Ash-Spear

The Ash-Spear Gifle can be found hidden in his Forest Hideout near East Anglia of Grantebridgescire. Players once again need to utilize their hidden blade and assassinate this enemy.

V. The Tang

The Tang a.k.a Wigmund can be eliminated only when attempting the “An Island of Eels” mission in the Grantebridgescire area. Players have the choice of full frontal attack or a quick sneak kill.

VI. The Cozier

 The Cozier is none other than Bishop Herefrith who can either be killed during the Lincolnscire quest line or later when his true identity is revealed.

4. How Many Maegesters are there in AC Valhalla?

There are a total of five Maegesters players need to eliminate in AC Valhalla. Killing each will bring Eivor one step closer to finding out the truth about the Order of the Ancients’ true purpose.

With the Lyre killed, you can either take on the rest of the Maegesters or if you have done it already, time to hunt down the Grand Maegester roaming the Nordic lands.
