Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Should You Spare or Kill Modron? (Gutted Lamb Quest)
Assassin's Creed Valhalla's expansive world hides plenty of adventures and quests to keep anyone entertained for hours on end. With so much to do, there's bound to be a set of complex and, perhaps, morally compromising decisions to make around every corner.
In fact, the option to choose certain outcomes is one of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's most entertaining mechanics, with certain decisions affecting future storylines or gameplay options. One example of a quest with a fairly dubious choice at the end is "The Gutted Lamb," which requires a player to decide a character's fate.
Here's everything to know about the quest, including the result of each decision.
"The Gutted Lamb" is part of a wider line of quests called "A Tale of Wicker-Fire," which is the series of alliance quests in the Glowecestrescire region. Once a player has progressed to "The Gutted Lamb," they will be tasked with hunting down Modron, who engineered Tewdwr's kidnapping for some sort of human sacrifice.
Modron's layer is located in Aelfwood, which is on the western portion of the map. Players will have to find a cave entrance that is just to the northeast of Aelfwood's town marker. It isn't difficult to seek out, as the quest marker on the map will be directly over the entrance, and it will be heavily guarded. Eivor will also give off audio clues when he is near the cave.
Once inside the cave, the path is fairly linear. There will be a couple of sections with guards, though most are easy to assassinate.
Eventually, players will enter a large, open room triggering a cutscene in which Modron is seconds away from gutting Tewdwr. After the cutscene ends, the battle with Modron will begin. It's a fairly easy battle, heavily relying on ranged attacks. Modron will stay on an elevated platform for the most part, so just whittle down her health with a bow.
Beating Modron will engage another cutscene, and after some dialogue, a player will be presented with a choice to either kill or spare Modron. Unlike some other decisions, whatever a player chooses does not have any lofty bearing on the storyline, nor is there a tangible reward for either choice. Instead, it's a question of morality.
Whether or not a player kills Modron, her daughter will then appear, either reuniting with her mother or finding her in a pool of blood. Killing Modron will elicit a creepy warning from her daughter, though it amounts to nothing. Either way, Eivor and Tewdwr walk out, and the ordeal is rarely brought up again.
Killing Modron can be made more difficult when considering the fact that Eivor later does the honors of burning Cynon, the aforementioned child's father, alive.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
