[Discussion] Year 2 Sigrblot Festival

It’s Sigrblot season…again…
Much as I noted in my Year 2 Ostara Festival thread, Ubisoft has not changed much about this repeat from the first year. However, just like the previous Year 2 festival, we have Opals for sale in Norvid’s shop, and there was an Opal drop on Ubisoft Connect just prior to the festival. @Kormac67 put up a nice reminder to save your game prior to buying the Opals at the shop to get stuff quicker, though if you’re like me, you’ll easily earn enough tokens to buy everything. If this is your first year playing the Sigrblot festival, you’ll likely see the Watchtower settlement tree decoration… and perhaps you’ll agree with my suggestion from last year that Ubisoft should put a jump point on it.
In other news, there is a new sword and shield available at Norvid’s shop this year, and amusingly, shenanigans in the coding of TU 1.6.0 have already resulted in the thumbnail image of the shield to be superimposed on St. George’s Tower Shield.
On the plus side, it looks like all of the settlement decoration spots that were removed by the Year 2 Yule reset have been restored.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Same as every festival, fun at first but then you find out how much you have to grind the same things over and over to get all the prizes you want.

@XBL_Laberbacke Exactly… which is why the suggestion made by @Kormac67 is very helpful for those who don‘t want to grind as much.

Grind’s not an issue for me, it seems light enough and I can just beat ppl up until I got my tokens + 20 days to do it makes sure I can’t really fail this one.
However, I am absolutely terrible at orientation in 3d games and I also have problems with spatial awareness for anything that is not a target. It’s a weakness, I’m not joking. So I can’t find this Thyra I’m supposed to help with the sacrifice. The quest marker guides me to a longboat full of stuff surrounded by three pillars. I’ve got the fish, killed the animal and looted the goods but I just can’t find this grill. Is it possible to get aid around here, perhaps?
The first time I saw one of these festivals I was so annoyed because of all the quest markers that kept spinning around. But digging in this time I’ve noticed there wasn’t too much.
One advice on collecting pigs is that there seem to be one far out there that couldn’t be fetched. I’m uncertain if it’s because I already fetched it now but at the time I thought the quest was bugged because the pig refuse my commanding whistling! … It was another pig I needed to get, so you know in case you’re also troubled by such a thing.

Due to these little lamps (I guess) I had to row quite a bit for some fish to spawn

Hah, I got one right away from the pier; lucky.

@Polyedra if you do want help, not completely sure if it was rhetorical but you did ask, I’ll see if I can work out more clues or just write what’s needed

@SpirantCrayon22 Yes, I do want help; thank you.
I haven’t figured it out yet. Maybe I need to go to France and loot some foreign material? There’s a note that says stuff about that. But the quest doesn’t say this, it tells: “Help Thyra with the sacrifice.” and there’s only a sliver left on the quest bar.
Been running around for some hour in the village, aimlessly clicking things, before I gave up.

@Polyedra got a suspicion about what you’re missing – you don’t have to go to Francia or collect anything outside Ravensthorpe – have you found the offerings where you can read a load of notes and pick up a box?

@SpirantCrayon22 No, no boxes picked up that I can recall. Where is this box? “Box of offerings”, that sounds promising.

@Polyedra Go to the waterfall area… there’s a pool with little boats. There will be a crate to carry all the way back to the bonfire… you’ll need to toss it in.

Thank you. Wow, that’s cryptic; how you guys figure that out?? I would never..

I have no idea what language you play the game in but in English it clearly states what to do.

@XBL_Laberbacke Really? I see. I must’ve missed it. The quest marker is on the ship of items and it doesn’t tell me anything beyond that. I’ll go check this out though. I play it on English.

There are three statues around it and as long as you haven’t done the tasks you get a “read” (or maybe “examine”) prompt while looking at them.

I see. Thank you. I’ll start the game to check it out.

Thank you for this explicit message on how to manage this. I didn’t even know you could toss boxes. I tried to just put it there but it failed I think. The tossing made the trick. Happy 1.6!

I remember that in the Year 1 Sigrblot, you got a settlement decoration for whichever statue you lit the fire for… last year I picked Baldr… I assumed I could get Thor this time, but nothing happened.

@TheNorfolkian To me it looked like one’s free an the other two have to be bought in the token shop.

@polyedra I have a similar problem with the quest: the boat has the green quest icon hanging over it. I jump in and all those small green rhombus like quest icons pop up all around me. And each time I press “interact” at one of them I end up with different quests where all I was trying to do was finding Thyra to find out again where the stuff is what she wanted me to get.
It is confusing. There should be a marker on where Thyra is to speak to her again to get the info she gave me the first time.
