So I was thinking earlier today, looking online, and was reminded of the Hermit mission where you have to get a shield crafted with a rune to present at his funeral. To do this you have to speak with a Hermit. This is the cave:


This Hermit references that he lost his sight and he is also wearing garb that resembles Odin's quite a bit (link to video of mission


I went back to his cave and despite looking everywhere inside and around outside I could not find Odin's rune. Odin's rune is all about illusion and shape-shifting so (going out on a limb here) it wouldn't be so crazy if this Hermit was Odin in disguise... However inside the cave on the walls i found the runic symbols below. I am not sure but maybe they could be of help? Perhaps they overlay on the map or, if we can find their meaning, perhaps there is a message?

@hroozenbeek I took a couple images but they are too large to upload here. I did not see a gate in the cave just a black opening that I couldn't get through

Do you guys have a link to a guide you have been using to translate runes?

@hroozenbeek Found it thanks! That was a nice catch @Tchester1980

@el_t_us In another thread someone had tried both of these to no effect.

@hroozenbeek Where is this medallion you guys are talking about?

@theeelf From another thread that I posted the pictures to:

Did some searchin... Only found last three symbols:
First one is Gungnir, however it seems more like a modern artistic symbol, than actual norse symbol?
Second one looks like web of wyrd
Third one looks like part of vegvisir

I went back to the cave. Here is an image of the Hermit with his cloak runes showing and some images of the runic symbols on the walls of the cave. I couldn't find an Odin symbol however.

@hroozenbeek I am having a difficult time as well. I'm wondering if anyone has created a "cheat sheet" of sorts for ACV?

@el_t_us thanks! I must have walked by it a dozen times
