Updated July 13, 2025 by Stephen LaGioia:There is no shortage of fun activities to partake in when it comes toAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.Some of the most memorable events of this Viking-themed expedition, fittingly, come in the form of raiding, which Ubisoft has made even more interesting by way of the added gameplay mode, River Raids. Complementing the ongoing stream of DLC—includingthe much-hyped Dawn of Ragnarok—these side missions offer some amusing diversions and extra goodies for players. One of the many enticing rewards within River Raids is the Spear of Lugh.
As players continue to progress and clash with increasingly-strong foes (which are especially present in the DLC), having a potent, long-range spear like this can be useful. So it seemed fitting to revisit and flesh out this list, filling in some more details about the Legend of Lugh Quest, as well as the Lugh’s Spear location and statistics.
The Legend Of Lugh Quest – Locating Lugh’s Myth Clue
Before the spear itself can be obtained, a note containing a clue must first be taken, which will enable the quest that leads to Lugh’s Spear. Speak withVagnat the settlement to get started. TheLegend of Lughquest becomes available at the same time as theTreasures of River Berbha, both pointing players to a new area. To get closer to the Spear of Lugh, players can ignore the latter quest and hunt forLugh’s Myth Clueas part of the former quest instead.
Lugh’s Myth Clue is alongthe River Berbha. Traveling along the western riverbank will lead players to a Druid encampment known asWicker Grove.Players should note that because they are fighting on Irish soil,Assassin’s Creed Valhallabrings back the Druidic enemies that hassled players intheWrath of the Druidsexpansion.
The clue is in a closed-off roominside the highest buildingin Wicker Grove. It restson a table behind a door that requires a player and an NPC to open. Fetching this clue points players back to the River Raids NPC Vagn at Ravensthorpe, everyplayer’s base inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. Use Odin’s Sight as well as Eivor’s raven to scan the region and better locate the clue, as well as other nearby goodies.

Locating The Spear Of Lugh
With thenote, Vagn points the player to a new area, theRiver Erriffon the west coast of Ireland. TheSpear of Lugh questwill now be activated. The Spear of Lugh is at the very end of this river, inside theGlennacally Fortress. This structure is home to a number of difficult enemies and should be approached with caution. There are high-level druids, a disorienting fog, andwerewolves in this area ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.
The spear can only be gained through combat with theErriff Champion,who is hidden in the highest point in the Glennacally Fortress. The Erriff Champion is hidden in thenorthwest portion of the fortress, behind an opening in a wall that players have to slide through. This leads to a hole in the ground that drops players into the chamber with the Erriff Champion.
Once on the ground, a short cutscene should play and the fight will commence. This battle should be relatively familiar for anyone who playedtheWrath of the DruidsDLC. The player must fend off Druidic attacks, as well as the burning Spear of Lugh in this fight.
The fight with the Erriff Champion isn’t too difficult, so long as players keep their distance from their spear swings and jabs, and wait for their window to strike. It’s useful to parry, roll, and strike from the side and back whenever possible. String togetheruseful skills and abilitiesto keep the Champion down and whittle away their health quicker. Get ready to use stun if and when they do fall. Using a long-range weapon to poke the nearby fire is also helpful, as it will allow for stronger, more effective attacks against the Champion.
Once the Champion has been defeated, the quest is over, and the player is rewarded with theSpear of Lugh.

Players can still choose to finish the raid, gather additional loot, or finish any other quests nearby once the spear has been obtained.
Spear Of Lugh Details
Once wielded by the father of a demigod hero Lugh, this coveted spear is a product of the Irish god of craftsmanship and law. It makes sense, then, that the weapon is as effective and potent as it is.
After defeating the Champion of River Erriff, Eivor will find Lugh’s Spear to be very useful and effective for the long haul, especially when upgraded to Flawless and Mythical status. As its description boasts, the weapon is “well balanced and very sharp.”
