The Vault of the Ancients Relic quest in Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok requires players to defeat the ferocious Glod in a final boss battle. This quest does not become available to players until after completing the Scholar and the Sunstone Relic quest. Therefore, the Vault of the Ancients Relic is the final quest of the Relic Arc.

The quest is triggered by traveling to the Old City in Uldar and following the quest marker to Fridtjof and Tyra. After a cutscene and placing the Sunstone on the pedestal, players must shine light beams on it to open the Vault. Once all enemies that ambush the player are defeated, the Vault can be entered, and then the player will return to the Old City.

At this point, players must defeat Sinmara in Dawn of Ragnarok. She will retreat once her health is below 50%, and players will head to Grenhellir's Sanctuary. Once there, players need to talk to Ilvadi to trigger the boss fight with Glod.

How To Defeat Glod in AC Valhalla: Dawn Of Ragnarok

AC Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok Glod Boss Fight

The fight with Glod will involve lots of lava and fire. After a cutscene, Glod will appear to players with Ilvadi as a fiery cat-like creature, possibly a molten lynx. He is extremely quick and agile and will be leaping around throughout the battle.

It is important to start with a weapon that has a high stun rate to take down Glod's adrenaline gauge. Then, after depleting it, switch to a weapon with high damage and begin the attack. It is also vital to have a new Dawn of Ragnarok armor with good fire resistance.

Some good news is that Glod can be poisoned, so using poison can help deplete his health a little quicker. Glod will consistently use some of the same attack methods. He will use his melee swipes in close range and use his ground stomp, where a collection of explosive projectiles will launch around the area. It is best to let Glod attack and then use a dodge and attack method to land blows.

Glod has some weak points, but they are hard to see due to the color of the lava. His three weak points are on his right flank, right front leg foot, and left side of the body. Players can use bows, or precision axe throws from afar to pinpoint these weak points.

The Dawn of Ragnarok Power of Muspelheim can be used once his health is at 50% because lava will be thrown all over the arena except for a small area in the center. At this point, Glod will start launching fireballs at the player. However, these can be avoided by looking down at the ground for their strike points.

Eventually, the lava will recede back to normal, and the player can finish off Glod finally. Once defeated, the Vault of the Ancient Relics quest will be completed as well as the entire Relic Arc. Make sure to use these tips and tricks for fighting Glod, and players should have no real issues with completing this task in AC Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok.
