For the Morigan Guard shield, there’s a rune you can use that also creates a fire ring around you when you parry. That and the gas can trigger at the same time, as well as if you have the “redirect” skill unlocked, you can “redirect arrows and spears” which counts as a “parry” and can trigger these abilities as well.

[@t-revstastetube8900]

Thanks great idea I'm not very far in the game yet I've only liberated the first ally soma

Fantastic, love comments like this! Really helpful =D

[@loraelstad8941]

This is very informative! Thank you & ESO Danny for giving awesome advice. I often pass it on to my hubby, who isn’t very far along into playing. Imagine if poison plus fire exploded around you (without any friendly fire harming yourself or allies. AOE damage can be a pain) like in the DOS games (Divinity of Sin).

[@OsKxCinder]

@@loraelstad8941 thankfully and also slightly, unfortunately the fire does not make the gas explode but it takes care of enemies extremely fast when both abilities trigger at the same Time. (Keep in mind, it is not guaranteed to trigger at the same time but, it can) I will edit this comment to be accurate about rune names and etc, later!

[@ahmarelvirgio823]

12:47 Instead of looking the explosives cache, just use the range exploding skill

[@The-Apothekari]

I just Duel wield the Rune Shield & the Sarcophagus Shield. Leaves you like a walking juggernaut, dmg ain't great as others but nothing can harm you so long as you parry for a free insta-kill. Works wonderfully against 340 enemies and legendary creatures~

The problem with the poison clouds is that if you kill a enemy around a group of civilians it makes you desynchronize... happens way to often for me and it’s so irritating.

[@joker-ze2tm]

omg so truee I was so scared I almost triggered it during my main quest

[@SithLordMills]

Yep. I had a desync during a cutscene because my cloud was killing civilians. I was very confused at first, "why am I desyncing during a cutscene!?" >.

[@Naughty-Carlos]

I thought it was just me! Had to take the miasma skill off because of this

"Idc about cancer. I'll take that." 😂

[@Josh-py9rq]

Morigan is good but that briton shield is amazing 15 percent life back or the sarcophagus shield is good too

[@thafutureonline619]

I use that battle sparth with Lagertha's axe because LA has the highest attack stat of any weapon in the game. Those combined with the brigadine's armor fully upgraded give your crazy melee damage. If not the highest possible in the game. After that i just cram melee and crit change runes in the weapons and hold the LB button anytime I get into a fight. "Spin 2 win." 🤷

[@PoeticMercury]

You don't have to use the oil jars to blow up the stone walls. Just use the Arrow powder trap ability to blow it up, much easier. You can also use it to blow up barred doors, just shoot one powder trap on the door and then shoot another powder trap ontop of it to make it explode, that will open up the door for you.

[@blackhat4206]

Dive of the Valkyrie level 2 does the same for one adrenaline.

They need to fix miasma so it doesn’t kill civilians otherwise de-synch happens often. I ended up speccing out if this skill because of it.

[@noobthechezboi895]

[@avimose4126]

My first shield I got other than the raven clan shield was the morrigans guard, honestly I prefer the sarcophagus shield because of the extra protection and the 33% chance of blasting fire everywhere when parrying

Someone to tell UBI to add ONE HAND SWORDS

[@shaunlucky9645]

Dude I couldn't stress this enough. It's terrible to leave out such a major weapon during that time period.

[@John-qt8km]

Bro I can't tell you how irritated I was, when I found out there is not a single sword that you can wield inside of the game. Regardless of the fact, that swords were quintessential to Viking weaponry. To make matters worse, one-handed swords are yielded by almost every other NPC. I really can not think of a reason as to why they wouldn't add it, other than the dev team just being honestly lazy.

ESO, thanks so much for the content battle brother! Please keep the Valhalla content coming! Love it

[@babayaga4320]

I'm using this shield mythic quality with a major rune slotted that gives your weapon a chance to poison on parry. So you're constantly getting poison on the shield or weapon, sometimes both at the same time. I got the rune from one of the order members/zealots, don't remember which, but they all drop major runes and it's random.

[@ESOdanny]

Where did you get the rune, i've not found that one yet

[@jonoszn]

Really gotten into this game. The builds are cool thanks for all the guides and keep up the awesome work Danny!

[@jizamkizam9611]

Here i am just wishing you could dual wield the same weapon in both hands. I'd totally rock 2 of those 1 hand bone axes just because they look cool

[@ballyou11]

Also using 2 piece Mentors (head and chest) and 3 piece of einherjar set can give you +50 Attack very consistently. also using the runes increase crit chance per hit, att per hit, speed per hit, and crit damage per hits synergy is out of this world dude, especially with dual daggers,1h axes, and spears

[@akseli1803]

So. The most important thing first. I've just completed the game to a point where there's not much to do. I found out you can infact kill monks or any civilians for that matter if you pull a huge multikill. The limit is otherwise 2, after the third you will be desynced. The next lines may be spoilers. Svala=Freyja Halfdan=Thor Basim=Loki Sigurd=Tyr Eivor=Odin / Havi Those are the Isu/God reincartions I've been able to piece together. Also. Wasnt the cave in Vinland the same we visited in AC3 as Connor? There's a few disappointing things to mention. For example the very confusing and underwhelming end to the mainstory (completing all sagas/regions) and the huge cliffhanger where Layla goes full on Desmond-style to try save the world and Basim (Loki) takes over her work. Will these cliffhangers be adressed in the DLC:s or do we really have to wait till the next game? I'm happy but yet I feel kinda meh. The endings. Why do they have to be so underwhelming? Discuss.

[@OrchalionTheFog]

wow guess i should be very glad i got runes that have the exact same effects and i can put them on any weapon i choose question is do these runes give you the exact same bonus as those weapons or the numbers vary because the game doesn’t give you detailed numbers on diamond runes

[@dennisdegroot8003]

All these "when surrounded by 3 or more enemies" are virtually worthless as well, as the most significant time you'll be surrounded by many enemies is a raid. Outside of that, most enemies patrol in groups of 3 *at most*. This is a perk that is specifically for when failing - that is, when you succeed (killing enemies), this perk goes away. Or those stacking buff perks. A stacking buff that reaches 10 stacks, but stacks only last 2 seconds? That's barely enough time to finish a heavy finisher and attack again. I am just not feeling it. I find Oddesey way more fun when it comes to perks.

[@fennec4462]

The problem with odyssey is that if you want a specific perk on your weapons, you have to grind and find the exact weapon type with the perks that you want.

[@dennisdegroot8003]

@@fennec4462 That's not the point. The point I am trying to make is: the current runes are either boring OR cumbersome with requirements. What I want is more fun, player power type perks/runes like Odyssey. Ubisoft can easily use their fantasy to make runes/perks more fun similar to Odyssey.
