Fireflies in Valhalla? Chasing Eivor's Most Elusive (and Adorable) Achievement
Forget mythical beasts and legendary loot, Viking raiders! We're on the hunt for something far more whimsical (and infinitely harder to pummel into submission) - fireflies. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, there's a little achievement in Assassin's Creed Valhalla called "Twinkle Twinkle," and it requires you to snag a firefly and set it free in your settlement.
Now, you might be thinking, "Fireflies? In a Viking game? This must be some kind of fever dream after a particularly brutal raid." Well, fear not, fellow warrior! This quirky quest is very real, and it's about to unleash your inner butterfly net-wielding champion.

Finding Your Firefly Soulmate: The Great Grasshopper Glimmer
First things first, fireflies are nocturnal creatures. Forget trying to snag one during a sun-drenched pillaging spree. You'll need to wait until nightfall. Nightfall. Remember that word? It's your new best friend.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Now, the location of these bioluminescent beauties is a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure situation. There seem to be a couple of reliable spots:
- Grantebridgescire: Head northeast of here, near a ruined temple and a handy fast travel point. Look for some suspicious glowing dots flitting about.
- Oxenefordscire: If Grantebridgescire strikes out, mosey on over to Evesham Abbey in Oxenefordscire. A creepy little chapel with some tombstones might just be your firefly haven.
Pro-tip: These little sparklers are fast! Be prepared to channel your inner ninja and unleash the stealthiest crouch Eivor possesses.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
The delicate Art of Firefly Wrangling: Mayfly Manoeuvres Not Included
So, you've spotted your glowing quarry. Now comes the real challenge - the catch. Unlike, say, a hulking Saxon soldier, fireflies aren't exactly fans of being wrestled to the ground. Here's the key: approach slowly. Like, really slowly. Remember, you're not hunting a boar, you're wooing a celestial love interest with your impressive Viking… well, manners, I guess.

Once you're close enough, a magical button prompt will appear (Y for Xbox, Triangle for PlayStation). Mash it with the reverence you'd show Odin himself, and with any luck, the little firefly will become your temporary companion.
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
Achievement Unlocked: Not Owning a Butterfly Net
Congratulations! You've defied logic and snagged a firefly. Now, the only thing left to do is take your newfound friend back to Ravensthorpe and set it free. Head to the waterfall near Valka's hut on the north side of your settlement. There, another mystical button prompt awaits. Press it, watch the heartwarming cutscene, and bask in the glory of "Twinkle Twinkle."
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
You've just proven that even the mightiest Viking warrior has a soft spot for a bit of bioluminescence. Now, get back out there and conquer England… but maybe take a moment to appreciate the little glowing things too.
