Have started this event/mystery, follow the Man after speaking to him To his third stop, but Pie thief doesn’t appear at his third stop. Indeed, The pie thief/kid appears to be dead? Have watched this completed on YouTube, and it seems the case that the Pie thief is dead. Have tried fast travelling out of Jorvik and back and start event again (Several times now), but always the same issue at the end.

Hey Roltel! I am sorry that you have not been able to continue with this event! Just in case, can you restore your licenses and then test your game again?

@expertbus408969 Hey there! I apologize for the inconvenience or disappointment that this bug may have caused you. I would be glad to gather some additional information from you and report it to the team! First, are you able to load up a previous save where you hadn't started the mission yet to see if there were enemies in Jorvik prior to the world event? Second, would you be able to grab screenshots or a video exhibiting the exact problem you're experiencing? This would be incredibly helpful for the team's investigation on the issue!

Hello there!

I apologise for the delayed update. The development team has reached out and would like some more information to assist with the investigation.

If you have been unable to proceed in "Silver Wind Elder" due to the pie thief being dead, please can you provide us with the following information:

  • If possible, are you able to try loading a save prior to starting this mystery yet to see if you can proceed as normal?
  • Were there any enemies in Jorvik prior to starting this mystery?


@Roltel - Would you be able to provide us with this information?

Thanks! 😊

Thank you with providing me with additional information about "Silver Wind Elder," @Roltel. The information about the lynx is particularly helpful, as I know some of the aggressive animals in-game can go a rogue and attack non-violent NPCs. I've passed your responses to the development team to see if this can help with the ongoing investigation.

If anyone else has been unable to proceed with "Silver Wind Elder" due to the pie thief being dead, please can you provide the following information:

  • If possible, are you able to try loading a save prior to starting this mystery yet to see if you can proceed as normal?
  • Were there any enemies in Jorvik prior to starting this mystery?
  • Any other information you think will be useful to the investigation, such as actions taken prior to encountering the issue, or workarounds/actions you have tried since.


If we require any additional information, we will reach out within this thread. Once we have any new updates from the investigation to share, these will be posted within the thread and News & Announcements forum too.

Thanks all! 😊

@talion1 - Thank you for taking the time to share your report with us. I've passed this along to the development team to be investigated further.

@mattk8 - I'm sorry to hear you've been affected by this issue as well. I checked your account but I can't see evidence of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla being played on this account. Can you let me know the username of the account you play Assassin's Creed: Valhalla on? We can then pass this report to the development team.

Thanks! 😊
