The snow-capped region of Rygjafylke is home to a total of 13 Mysteries which range from World Events, Flyting, and hunting a Legendary Animal. While each Rygjafylke mystery can be found on the map via the blue icon, some of them require a little extra thinking, especially if you wish to complete them without any trouble.

The first fight will pit you against two opponents, so try to focus on dodging and weave in any attacks whenever possible. Once you’ve beaten your first two opponents, you’ll have to face off against Thorgils. His lunge attack is strong and can quickly lead to a quick KO, but it is also incredibly slow. 

Wait for Thorgils to unleash his devastating punch and sidestep it with your dodge. This will allow you to deliver a flurry of quick punches that will whittle down his health. Once you’ve defeated Thorgils, speak to Rolf again to complete the mystery and gain your reward.

This mystery can be located just southwest of Eikundarsund in a small camping spot near the sea. Upon reaching the location, you’ll find a shivering Skald named Erlend.

Erik the Loyalskull can be found west of Hildesvini Crag. Make your way through the cave and follow the path until you reach his hideout. Speak with him to begin the fight.
