In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, completing the Grantebridgescire story arc requires solving a mystery regarding who betrayed Soma during the Saxon invasion. Tracking down key clues across the region is essential to uncovering the truth and making the correct choice. One of the most critical pieces of evidence is a vessel painted in yellow that is hidden deep within the marshlands.
Starting the Investigation in Grantebridge
To begin tracking the clues, Eivor must first inspect the secret escape tunnel located beneath the longhouse in Grantebridge. At the exit of the tunnel, players will notice traces of yellow paint smeared on the rocks leading toward the riverbank. Following this trail provides the initial direction needed to locate the hidden vessel out in the swamps.
Navigating to the Yellow Longship Location
The yellow longship can be found in the fens region east of Grantebridge and south of Utbech. Travel northeast through the foggy riverways until reaching a cluster of small islands in the marsh. The vessel is beached on one of these marshy islands and is guarded by hostile Saxons or bandits.
Examining Evidence at the Wreckage
Upon defeating the enemies near the longship, interact with the vessel to inspect the clues scattered around it. Eivor will observe fresh yellow paint covering the hull as well as specific carvings inscribed on the wood. Investigating this site thoroughly confirms which of Soma's trusted lieutenants was responsible for marking the escape path for enemies.
Connecting the Clues to Identify the Traitor
Finding the boat is crucial because it links directly to Galinn, who claims his vessel was lost during the chaos. Comparing this site with Lif's missing yellow paint and Galinn's nearby rescue location proves Galinn's treachery. Presenting these findings back to Soma ensures the rightful traitor is brought to justice without harming innocent allies.
