Assassin’s Creed (AC) Valhalla – Unwelcome Quest Bug – Stuck after Cutscene – How to fix
What is this bug all about?
AC Valhalla is filled with quests, big and small. And they are all are pretty different from each other. Quests in games like AC Valhalla do the job of educating players about the mechanics and the lore of the game. Without them a RPG title is incomplete.
But it looks like the ‘Unwelcome’ quest is stopping a lot of people from progressing in the game. Players are getting stuck after a cutscene where the characters won’t move at all. Pressing keys on the keyboard is of no help. There are already a ton of posts regarding this on the Ubisoft Forums. Here is what the user, who was the first person to post about this bug, has to say:
Unable to progress with “Unwelcome”
After the cutscene where you untie and free the captives the screen go black and loads for a few mins and when it does finally load myself as the player the jarl and dag are all huddled in the middle of the room while being unable to move or do anything at all. Now i have tried verifying the files and clean install of Valhalla and a clean install of Ubisoft connect but noting works please help.
The post got a lot of replies from other users who are experiencing something similar. Here is one of them:
I can’t play the game after clearing a quest ‘Unwelcome’. My character was stuck with sygurd and the other in one place. And can’t use a map, syrin, inventory… anything. Is this Open-beta service of full-price game? When can you guys support hot-fix?

- Ultra option is not necessary. Just changing video options worked.
In my case, I changed the option from medium to low quality.
An Ubisoft Support Staff also went ahead and commented on the post:
