Original Post — Direct link

The challenge was removed in early 2021 because there was an issue with some broken fish spawns. Ubi fixed it but didn't add the challenge back in for some time. I completed the fishing requests in the meantime. I saw today that the challenge was added back in (don't know when exactly), but there is no way for me to obtain it. I equiped the weapon, upgraded it, killed enemies with it and completed Reda contracts with it (I ran out of main story quests to complete). Is there any way for me to unlock the challenge?

Hello @Father-Jack and thanks for getting in touch. Sorry to hear you can not complete the core challenge "Stinky but Deadly".

Can you please confirm your game is fully up to date? In order to look into this further, we would like to request you take a video of Eivor killing an enemy with a swordfish equipped. Additionally, please make sure that your latest save has been added to the Cloud (it will have a cloud icon next to it). This step will allow us to use your save files for investigations.

Don't hesitate to get back to us if you have additional questions.
