Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a game of many virtues. You have an enthralling campaign, excellent side quests, and an open world of endless opportunities. However, despite having the glitz and glamor of a completely new world, AC Valhalla doesn’t deviate from the core of the Assassin’s Creed franchise — the neverending battle between Templars and Assassins.
Valhalla revamps the rivalry with a new Order of the Ancient storyline, which, funnily ties into Thor’s Armor side quest. You are required to beat every cruel Ancient out there to get the Inorder of the Ancient achievement, and today, we’ll tell you how to get started. Read on to learn the location of the Zealots you need to beat in Valhalla.

Who is a Zealot in Valhalla?
If you’re only starting out, the term “Zealot” could sound a bit confusing. These menacing-sounding humans are members of the said Order of the Ancients but are not exactly boss-type figures.
They are strong, extremely-skilled, horse-riding warriors, who can take the fight to you in every sense of the term. They are generally happy to stay within the confines of their habitat and can be challenged by stepping on their toes.

How many Zealots are out there?
In the game, you’re required to outwit and outmuscle a total of 45 Ancients. Out of the 45, 15 are Zealots while the rest serve as members of the Order. By killing these hardcore killing machines, you would gain valuable info about your next objective — ending other members of the corrupt Order.

How to find the Zealots?
As mentioned, Zealots don’t like the idea of roaming around all that much. So, you won’t have to go around the entire map to take on a fleeing Zealots. Here’s a list consisting of the names and whereabouts of the 15 Zealots in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. You can open the Order Menu and mark the Zealots as you go. The red Zealot icon would make it easier for you to mark them.

Zealot #4: Hrothgar

Zealot #5: Cudberct
You’ll be able to locate your fifth possible victim in Oxenefordscire. Similar to Bercthun, it’s difficult to pinpoint Cudberct’s exact location, but you could always use your bird to get a quick look. If that doesn’t seem feasible for some reason, roam around the streets of Oxenefordscire to locate Cudberct. The recommended power level for Cudberct is 160.
Zealot #6: Horsa
The second member not to have a horse, Horsa, can be found roaming around in the Oxenefordscire region. Since they don’t have a horse, you’re unlikely to encounter much trouble locating them.

Zealot #7: Osgar
