Cairns are a type of Collectible in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (ACV). This guide shows where to find all Cairn Locations in AC Valhalla (13 total). They are needed for the Completionist All the Way trophy or achievement (100% Completion).
Cairns count as Mysteries. On the world map they are marked by this icon: . You can still access all regions after the story to find them.
Cairns require you to stack some rocks on each other. You can rotate them and the goal is for them to all stay stacked without falling apart. After stacking them you must confirm the structure and if it holds together it will count as completed. Some can be a bit tricky so this guide will also include images how to solve them.
For a region by region guide of all Mysteries refer to this guide: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Mysteries Guide
