A guide showing you how to find and get the legendary Boar Gullinbursti for a mount in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok expansion!
To get the legendary boar Gullinbbursti as a mount for your character in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you need to first get access to Svartaflheim, the dwarven world. This map and all of the content available there is restricted to players, who purchase the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion.
Who is Gullinbursti
Gullinbursti is a legendary mighty board in Norse mythology. In translation to English it means “Gold Mane” or “Golden Bristles”.
When Loki had Sif’s hair, Freyr’s ship Skíðblaðnir, and Odin’s spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi, he bet his own head with Brokkr that his brother Eitri (Sindri) would not have been able to make items to match the quality of those mentioned above.
So to make gifts to Freyr, Eitri threw a pig’s skin into a furnace as Brokkr worked on the bellows, and together they manufactured the boar Gullinbursti which had bristles in its mane that glowed in the dark.
Freyr rode Gullinbursti to Baldr’s funeral, while in Gylfaginning, Snorri states that Freyr rode to the funeral in a chariot pulled by the boar.
The boar is also known as Slíðrugtanni

How to get Gullinbursti as a mount in the game
You can get Gulllinbursti at any point during or after you complete the story in Dawn of Ragnarok. The mission is called “A Beast’s Burden”. It is available as a “world event” type of quest in Svartalfheim.
World Events are optional content that you can easily skip or miss. They are marked with glowing blue dots on the map, if you have this option available in the game’s settings.
Here is a map to the location you have to visit to trigger the world event mission for Gullinbursti:
This is in Svaladal, directly north of Eitri.
As you approach the area, you will see a Muspel NPC riding a giant boar. This is indeed Gulllinbursti. Unfortunately, for you, the boar is not controlled by the enemy and he will charge at you. You can opt to defeat it with a melee or ranged weapon.
No matter what you do, you can never hurt the board. Well, I couldn’t. So Gulllinbursti is safe. If you use ranged weapons, aim for the weak spots of the NPC.
The weak spots are his left shoulder and right forearm.
This isn’t a boss fight and shouldn’t take much effort to take him down. As soon as you do that, the screen will black out for a moment and Havi (you) will mount up Gullinbursti with the words “I am in need of your aid, if you will offer it.”

Can you use Gullinbursti outside of Svartalfheim
From the moment you defeat the Muspel riding the boar, Gullinbursti becomes a free mount skin for your character.
And the best part is that you can now use the boar outside of Svartalfheim. You can visit any stablemaster to change to another skin and back to this one whenever you please.
