AC Valhalla Wrath of the Druids: Where to Find the Children of Danu

When Can You Fight the Children of Danu?

The Children of Danu order tab in the menu is unlocked once you start the quest, Potion of Blood. In this quest, you travel to meet Ciara’s Druidic friend Deirdre and are informed that the high-ranking cult members carry bloody shards of amber that contain mystical powers. This also unlocks the Children of Danu quest. You cannot find any Children of Danu members or clues until this quest is unlocked!

Children of Danu (Quest)

Completing the Children of Danu quest requires finding clues to reveal the location of each order member. Some clues can only be obtained through quests, while others are scattered throughout Ireland. After assassinating all 10 Children of Danu order members and collecting each one’s amber shard, deliver the shards to Deirdre at her house in Asfinn. This is necessary to unlock the quest, Amber Sun, and obtain the mythical spear Gae Bolg!

Children of Danu Tied to Quests

Though all the Children of Danu require the Potion of Blood quest to be completed for them to appear, some members are specifically connected to certain quests. These are the members that are only found and eliminated via a specific story quest.

The Wren

The Wren is the subject of the Potion of Blood quest, and this will be the first order member you eliminate. Check out the Potion of Blood section of the Wrath of the Druids Walkthrough for a step-by-step guide of that quest. Eliminating the Wren reveals a clue for The Ash and one for The Cursed.

The Cursed

The Cursed is the subject of the Into the Fog quest. This is the quest immediately after the Potion of Blood quest. Therefore, The Cursed is likely to be the second member you eliminate. Check out the Into the Fog section of the Wrath of the Druids Walkthrough for a step-by-step guide of that quest. Eliminating The Cursed reveals a clue for The Deer.

The Seed

The Seed is the subject of the The Wages of War quest. Check out the The Wages of War section of the Wrath of the Druids Walkthrough for a step-by-step guide of that quest.

The Oak

Children of Danu Without Quests

All these Children of Danu can be assassinated after completing the Potion of Blood quest. After completing the Potion of Blood quest, members can be killed as soon as you find them. You don’t even have to search for their clues; you could just go to where the cultist is located and kill them! If you still want to find all the clues, this guide contains their locations too!

The Deer

• Where to find The Deer: The Deer can be found on the northern shore of Ulster Lake in the port of Inch Lough Neagh. He’ll likely be inside the enemy camp that contains the Celtic Cloak. You must eliminate The Deer to reveal The Seed’s identity in the story quest The Wages of War.

• Note from the Cursed – Obtained by killing The Cursed during the quest Into the Fog.

• Note Found in Ardmel Trade Post – Ardmel is a trading post in eastern Ulster. The note can be found near the dock just outside the walls of the trading post.

The Ash

• Where to find the Ash: The Ash can be found in Kesh Corann mines in the mountains northwest of Lough Gara in Connacht. It’s the same location where you can find the Druidic Breeches. There’ll be lots of enemies in the area. Consider equipping poison resistance runes.
  
  On the top side of the mountain, there’s a destructible wall blocking the entrance of the cave. Use the hole above the wall to toss a torch into the other side and blow up the wall.Enter the cave, and head to the level below. You’ll spot some crates in the corner of the area. Smash them to reveal a crack in the wall. Keep going until you reach the room containing The Ash and the chest with the Druidic Breeches. The Ash and his friend in the room like using poison, so keep an eye on your health.

• Note found on The Ash – Obtained by killing The Ash

• Note Found on Gravesite – Found at the Gravesite near the waterfall in Bally na Gall, a burned village along the Bann River in southeast Ulster. The village is overrun with wolves, but you can avoid them by sticking to the cliff. Above the village, next to the waterfall you’ll see some graves. Use Odin’s Sight to find the clue on the ground in one of the graves.

• Note Found at the Outpost – Found inside a burned farmhouse in southern Ulster. The farm ruins are about 320m S of Clogher and just N or Black Pig’s Dyke.

The Mist

• Where to find The Mist: He’s on a small island outpost surrounded by gas in Ulster’s western bay. There’s very low visibility here. Combined with the teleporting powers of The Mist, your best approach should stealth assassination. This is the same location with the chest containing the Druidic Cloak.

The Spider

• Where to find The Spider: She can be found walking around the Dublin markets. If you haven’t gotten all the clues to mark her, she might be tricky to find because she isn’t always in the same place. However you can still find her without locating the clues – here’s the trick!
  
  
  She tends to switch between two spots near the markets. Fast travel to the Kilchrist high point in the center of London. You can see both of the spots from that location (as shown in the image above). Either she’ll be at the little white shop with the animal skins or she’ll be below the triangular blue tent. When you search those two places, take out your bow and aim at who you think it is. You’ll know if it’s her if the reticle highlights her as an enemy!
