2h dual wield is nice but i would say Grit in the Wolf tree is more important at the begining. Anyway good tips... keep it up

Hey Boomstick Gaming, I came up with my own Tip: If you need to take a break for a bit - mark a point in the river on the other side of the map and then hit the button to have your ship follow the river. It was a nice way to get a bunch of fast travel points randomly placed throughout the rivers of England and to discover bits of the map and what's nearby the shorelines. Makes it a bit less intimidating having less fog of war! Btw your ship auto-hugs the coastline when it's out on the eastern seaboard. Another tip for when you're afk: Set your bird in a direction you haven't explored and let it fly while you're afk. :) Both are good for getting an idea of where things are at!

[@theodale1710]

Okay screw all the other KZbinrs who just post random tips and tricks that most people know already. This guy is the real deal.

[@BoomstickGaming]

Those bother me too! I'm a core gamer who's got your back!

Correct! This guy should keep doing what he’s doing

[@koyumisa7528]

[@Caroline-mp6cs]

Lazy method for catching flying paper: trigger the chase, then follow it with your eagle and tag the final spot it pauses at. Then when it resets, start the chase again but just go directly to the end and wait for it to come to you. It might not work for everything, especialy if it rests somewhere with a significant climb, but so far it hasn't failed me for the first half-dozen or so I've collected.

[@ADOS_DSGB]

going to try this. This is by far the most annoying thing in the game!

[@marufhassan634]

I would try it but the flying paper is mostly so that you can immerse in the parkour route created by the devs and get a reward at the end.

[@kuolemanlaakso1696]

Or just use that ability that slows time down and literally walk up to them

[@reygarber2059]

That torch lighting up the arrows is straight up mind blowing

[@ynpavo]

guess you dont play good games a lot

[@a.n_9364]

Reminds me of Zelda

[@nnp5011]

I’m pretty sure the game tells you how to do it the first time you use a torch lol

[@estebanelbeasto]

Handy in a raid on a roof with a torch to light arrows but just picking off guards stealthy like a headshot with a hunter bow is usually enough or use double arrow perk

[@YeOldeMachina]

"To make sure you youre inflicting the most terror on these poor little settlements" This is why I watch Boomstick.

[@BoomstickGaming]

They are all just minding their own business and you come along burning everything. Vikings were a**holes.

You can throw your torch to lure enemies to a specific location (e.g away). It's an old trick but I'm pretty sure many do not know about that.

I love the AC series and just learned I can do this. So....thanks!

I wanted to comment on this, you fundamentally changed the way I play the game. I'd been loving the game with 2 axes, having fun, but you showed me I was basically a baby. Now I'm dual wielding spear/dagger, doing rolling takedowns with my bow, destroying content 200+ over my head, and having an insane blast. Thanks for this video, every single tip was revolutionary for me.

Double hunter arrow perk really great for elite enemies on one shot kill. Light bow perk are great for more damage and more shots at once too but receptor bow seems a bit too clunky unless in stealth to pick off guards but great as you ccs. Easily change bows in the menu options at any time

[@enz025]

I much prefer this kinda video that comes out pre release, that are actually useful compared to the guys uploading full playthrough stuff, before the rest of us are even able to touch it. Thank you broomstick for this video, it was very useful and I'm really hyped for the game even more now!

[@YeOldeMachina]

I never watch playthroughs. I dont get it. If I watch someone playthrough the game, that pretty much ruins it for me. I dont get it

[@enz025]

@@YeOldeMachina I will typically watch playthroughs of a game I either don't want to play myself, of a game I have already played. It just bugs me that companies give these copies to influencers and outlets so early, and allow them to put up videos before the general public has had the chance. Not hating on anyone here, but fighting cowboy already has 8 episodes of this game up, while I respect the grind for his content and there will be an audience who don't care about spoilers, it doesn't work for me.

[@YeOldeMachina]

@@enz025 yeah, to clarify, I meant I dont watch playthroughs of games i havent played if I plan on playing it.i shouldve been more specific. I do watch people play games ive already played like bloodborne, souls, sekiro, ect. I agree w/you. I sometimes get a little aggravated at that as well. I dont know exactly why, but it irritates me. Cowboy has a huge following that love his walkthroughs and playthroughs. I dont get it either. Takes all the excitement and discovery out. The worst is when I accidentally catch a spoiler. Im borderline OCD about spoilers

[@dylancarroll487]

I found all of your tips helpful but your advice on clearing the map efficiently and using the bow effectively particularly illuminating. Ranged combat was my favorite in Origins and it looks even more satisfying in Valhalla.

[@traveling47]

those are some sweet tips. this was the most useful video i've seen on AC:V. One move i learned from a different video is if your are jumping from high up, you can spam the heavy attack and negate all fall damage if done right.

[@makoent2231]

Best and only video of Valhalla so far that actually gives advice, tips, and goals without fluffing up with random "hey guys Im playing so and so, and here's me talking about playing without actually playing for 5 minutes".

[@piggy6801]

The only problem with the ship tip, is that there are some guard stations that have chains, so you can't travel through there, and there are also some river bandits which have placed fences in the water, so you are stopped and they can shoot you from the shore, but this is also a really good tip, and I will definitely use it, thank you.

[@davidpotter988]

I got a pro-tip. (This is the first video I’ve seen, so I don’t know if it was covered already) I have a hard time finding oil pots for breakable walls, so if you’ve just killed a bunch of enemies, set an explosive trap on a body, place the body next to the breakable wall, and attack the body to make the body explode. (A heavy, double 2-handed axe attack works perfect) Hope it helps
