Immortal Ragnarr gaining Mjolnir
R5: my immortal warrior Ragnarr Lodbrok started the warrior Lodge Legendary quest and gained Mjolnir from a Germanic pagan in another realm. I had been watching him a while trying to figure out how to gain Mjolnir and he eventually just gave it to me. Edited to insert pic.
I'd have conquered him, retracted his liege from his liege's liege, then retracted him from his liege, and then killed him and every one of his successors until I'd inherit his titles and artifacts.
I'd pay for it with an independence war probably but #worthit. Tried my entire Germanic playthrough to get Mjolnir, only managed to get Andravakanaut, and that was by doing the above. Hundreds of years, waiting for an artifact search that never came.
He was deep in a Germanic saxony. I eventually killed his liege through dueling and it split into multiple kingdoms with a Slavic son inheriting. I was working my way conquesting down to him one county at a time.
Isn't it only a 50/50 tossup of you inheriting his artifacts?
the game mysteriously crashes whenever I lose a level 5 artifact.
Same this bug has been in the game since release, also happens when I loose a duel when I have 12 sons and gavelkind succession
Andravakanaut
Thats the 20% tax for 1% health ring isnt it?
Andravakanaut
+0.5 Monthly Prestige
+20% National Tax Modifier
+4 Stewardship
+5 Same Religion
-1 Health
-1 health is VERY DIFFERENT from -1% health. Mainly because -1% health doesn't exist, but also because a standard value for health is 5, and reducing that by 1 whole point is fairly significant.
-1.00 health and I think 10% tax, can't remember.
FWIW Andravakanaut and Mjolnir are always in the possession of landed characters of the Germanic faith in the William the Conqueror/War of Two Eriks start. If one is in the possession of a count, it usually isn't so hard to get it--but a mayor can be tough.
I believe they are always in the possession of landed characters no matter the start.
The problem is that Mjolnir at some point became lost to the ages. :p Nobody was carrying it anymore, so must've gone the same way as the Bones of St. Peter in that game. Destroyed on succession.
Re the Bones of St Peter, I think something's gone wrong wrt inheritance of the papacy. They rarely survive 2 successions, so I reckon it's using the 50% roll instead of the usual 95% when a landed character dies.
On always being in possession at game start--I think that's probably true but I didn't know for sure.
Just wait until you use it in a duel. You can throw it at a person and it'll disembowel them by punching a hole through their stomach.
That’s awesome. I don’t think I had it equipped for the legend quest. Won those with a masterful short sword lol
Playing as Harald Fairhair, I had become the rival and then overlord of Sigurd Snake-in-the-eye, who happened to own Mjolnir in my game. I was contemplating murdering him when the legendary gathering started, and the only Germanic heroes: Me, Sigurd, Rurik, and Hrolfr de Normandie started on our quest. I was readying myself when who but Sigurd joins me and offers me his weapon which I had been lusting after for so long. On our quest we became friends, and he helped me out when I might have otherwise died, allowing me to get my bloodline. There I was, raiding Paris with Mjolnir in my hand, when I get the notification that Sigurd died in his journey, probably to the final character. After warring twice dueling him three times, and forging a bloodline together I found in my heart a real love for him, and I've kept his dynasty as the kings of Denmark when I became fylkir
I didn't realize there was an actual mjolnir... do you happen to know of what event you get it from? And that event ID? Asking for... reasons.
A very successful artifact search event as a germanic pagan. Like getting Jesus' foreskin as a christian. That is, if it doesn't already exist somewhere, which it typically does. In that case I'd suggest getting a good warrior lodge rank and repeatedly raiding the owner of it until you get it.
Ragnarr aged 30 when it popped and no sickness. Also no console. I’ve pretty much only played Ironman except my first game where I tutorial Ireland in 1066 to a great world conquer only to realize I wasn’t getting achievements.. Edited for up to date equipped pic and a little flavour text.
Wtf you don't even have it equipped!!
That was when I just got it...I’ll update it as he’s even more beastly.
Updated. Thanks for the heads up.
I got Mjolnir just before I reformed the Germanic faith. I like to see it as what legitimizes my rule as Fylkir.
A very generous donation
Gah, the Legendary Quests have annoyed me so much. I tried it twice now, and both times my current character died before I filled the gauge and my heir couldn't rank up fast enough to participate. 200 years down the drain!
Is there a way to find artifacts or do you have to tediously search through treasuries?
Type the name of the artifact in character finder. If it spawned, it should show up.
Edit: spelling
Thanks, didn't know this!
Are you sure its "tge (artifact)" ? I just tried it and it doesnt bring anything up for Mjolnir even though I found the guy with it manually.
I think it's supposed to read "the" instead of "tge". If I'm understanding correctly (as I've never done this before) you need only write the name of the artifact. So in the finder, you'd write Mjolnir and it should show who holds it, assuming it's in the game.
Yep. Thanks. Fixed the spelling in my first post.
Is it spelled Mjolnir or Mjölnir? It's a pain searching for people or things like that when my keyboard doesn't have an Ö key.
You can create an Ö by pressing the ¨ key and then the O key.
Others already said but i had a spelling error.
Just search Mjolnir.
How did he get immortality, I’ve only ever even gotten the mystic appears event as a Catholic and once as a Jew, also is there a way to make the immortality quest fire or guarantee it’s success?
Ironman game so no console. Very lucky to get it aged 30 Ragnarr. Went martial and hit the top answers for better chance and it all worked out. All I wanted to do this run was reform the Germanic faith and see where it goes as I hadn’t done that yet with Holy Fury.
I’ve reformed all pagan faiths holy fury in hopes it’d be fun each time but to be honest reforming gets old quick
Any tips when to do it? The guide on when is outdated from 2013. I was trying to Keep unreformed while I mop up pagans in saxony and around Estonia so as to stop the attrition. Then go warmongering sons of Ragnar Temporal and either Bloodthirsty or Monastic.
Sure, the absolute easiest way is to convert as a Catholic feudal ruler or any religion really, but feudalism I found is the easiest path because of the better levies, but as for reforming j get claims to the holy sites as fast as possible or before converting get the holy sites you need and then once you convert you’ll have the sites and all you’ll need is piety, you should try what I’ve been doing most recently is once Charlemagne is an Emperor of Francia you convert to Germanic, reform, and take over the world, but any powerful ruler will do, or you can try your hand with the Byzantines and Hellenic, best of luck in whatever you decide though!
Anyone can get the immortality event chain, so either OP was lucky enough to get it or they used the console
Thanks, I have somewhere around 500-600 hours and I never get any of the good events, I guess I’m just unlucky, my current playthrough is a fun idea for anyone interested: Start as Charlemagne, play until the Saxon war event, land the old king theo w the kingdom of Saxony (you should be empire by now if you did it smart), then try to become his friend and secretly convert to Germanic, im 7 generations in and each character was a god of war level warrior with over 100 kills to their names, all of them have led the Wolf Warriors and all had Sea King, my empire has all of Africa, mainland Europe, parts of England, the entire Arabian Peninsula, and I’m moving into India and Asia, I’ve been thinking of waiting for a more interesting event to fire like the Aztecs or Mongols, I’m pretty confident I can win since I have around 260k Levy with a 50k personal retinue, it’s not immortal Ragnar but still a fun idea
[removed]
I’m ngl that sounds like a lot of fun, but, but, but, do it as an Indian and worship Kali instead ‘drops mic’
Super lucky. Aged 30 it popped and no sickness. This is an Ironman game so no console.
the first thing I do as a norse character is figure out who has Mjolnir (somebody always seems to), vasselsize them somehow, and then imprison and murder their family until I inherit the damn thing, to hell with the tyranny. Best to do it first thing so the owner has little family and you don't have many other vassals to piss off.
Yea he was Deep South in Saxony by the time I learnt the search in character field for artifacts. Even at the beginning I think he’d have been a tough grab. They beat back Karl.
An exposed murder attempt will make the person a foe (not a rival, but a foe) and an eligible target for duels, so I will plot to murder and invite as many as possible. Either gravity gets him or my axe does.
Yeah, the mythical artifacts spawned with the germanics are pretty funny in 1066 when there are only like 3 counts in Sweden who each have Mjolnir, the dwarf-ring, or the cursed treasure ring. They're like custodians of their dying religion, or if you play as Erik I guess they are moneybags filled with loot
So he can shoot lightning bolts now?
Fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. He’s also the hero in the warriors lodge so can’t die in battle...pretty OP.

Who is Ragnar? I see so many posts about people’s Ragnar, but Idk who he is.
He's a mythical viking who is the son of another mythical Norse king "Sigurdr Ring" in Sweden in the 769. Ragnar gets a special event that used to give him the strong trait, but now it's just brawny. In the 867 start Ragnar's sons are in the midst of the invasion of England in response to Raganar's death at the hands of King Aella of Northumbria.
