10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

[@laurelgallagher747]

I remember the week Black Flag came out, I had about 50$ to my name at this point and I was like, do I do the responsible thing and get groceries, or... do I buy this game? So you bet your ass I bought that game and for 5 days straight I stayed in my room playing it where I ate nothing but hamburger buns

[@taylorb9860]

@@sketch_and-gaming here’s what I found - hope it helps. I haven’t played Valhalla since the druids DLC came out but it’s funny to see people still reply to this comment! In order to find the Incendiary Powder Trap Book of Knowledge and access explosive arrows, players will need to head to the city of Walden located in Grantebridgescire. It resides in the southeast portion of the Grantebridgescire region. There are several wealth markers found here, but the one players need to look out for is the Book of Knowledge symbol, appearing as a page from a book with a Viking rune on it. This will lead players right to the Incendiary Powder Trap ability level 1. Unlike many Books of Knowledge in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the Incendiary Powder Trap is fairly easy to spot, as it's sitting within a lone, small church in Walden.

Awesome tips. You can also get fish by shooting them with a bow. Train your horse to swim, load up a light bow, and go horseback swimming bow fishing using your Odin Eye. Easier and less annoying than using the fishing tool. You don't have to try to stay in shallow water like you do if you rely on the spear.

Assassins creed has got to be one of my favorite games second to Skyrim. I honestly liked origins more but Valhalla was still really good! Great work guys!

[@chilliam00]

Skyrim was my causal intro to RPG games and I only played stealth/action games such as AC and Arkham series beforehand. Although oldschool AC veterans dislike it I think it's great to see a game which is AC + RPG (although Odyssey overdid it).

Then you will love god of war the new one

[@brycesumrall7248]

Maybe its because i didnt finish Origins, or maybe because Valhalla is set in the culture of my heritage, but this is my favorite AC since the Ezio saga by far. Objectively i can see where some people's criticism comes from, but damn Valhalla just brought new life into the series for me.

[@devin8297]

[@Daniel-ix6nq]

Ubisoft did stealth so right in this game and you truly can pick how you want to play. They talked about not fearing going to higher level areas but I guess that's on normal. The first tip I got was set combat higher, to brutal. This gives more weight to exploring and being caught when you're under leveled. Especially if you get greedy and want to try and get loot from higher areas. You can also stealth kill much higher level enemies with that timed assassination strike. It makes it ideal to use in those higher areas and If you're hardcore into stealth, they even have a setting to adjust how vigilant enemies are! My particular favorite thing to do is to sneak into higher level raids, stealth kill as many enemies as possible, then call in my raiders to fight those last groups of enemies who are guarding the chests.

[@contrabardus]

Major tip missed: Prioritize upgrading your rations first. You can upgrade a weapon or two along the way, but you absolutely want rations upgraded fully as soon as you can manage it. This drastically increases your surviveability in the game, and makes surviving in areas that are beyond your current level much more feasible. I never found myself wanting arrows, as they are pretty much everywhere, but it does make hunting a bit easier to upgrade your quiver once or twice. If you're not maining a bow, upgrade once or twice and then prioritize weapons and armor, you'll rarely run out of ammo.

[@steffenhayes1967]

Also something I learned is if you upgrade you quiver when out of arrows it fully restocks.

[@N1ceDreamsz]

If you're getting your ass kicked.. Yeah sure, upgrade your rations.

[@DingleCerri]

Same, even though I didn’t like odyssey too much.

[@hxvok_hk9829]

Odyssey was ok I just didn’t like the whole Demi god feel and plus I’m not up on my Greek mythology so a lot of the famous names from that time, I wasn’t familiar with so I kinda skipped thru some side quest and ? Dialogue cuz I found it boring after a while. Norse mythology is another thing for me and I enjoy these stories more because I know about this history .

[@ObeyCamp]

It's just really disappointing that Ubisoft clearly doesn't understand what "RPG" means. They've made a few "pseudo-RPG's" now, amd they're fun games, but these are patently not RPG's. They're games with light RPG emulation at best. Ubisoft still hasn't figured out that in a real RPG, things like dialogue options and choices need to have meaningful consequences that differ between each option otherwise it's only an illusion of choice. After all, what is a choice if not an opportunity to affect an outcome?

[@pesky19]

@@hxvok_hk9829 odyssey was pure shit

[@evanmcc99]

One of my favorite abilities is fire strike for melee, if you activate it near the enemy it will automatically fill their burn meter half way. If you fill it the rest of the way they get locked in a animation trying to put it out. If you just keep hitting them it won’t run out and if you have all four adrenaline slots if your fighting a zealot by the time they fight back they are near death.

[@_The_Black_Cerberus_]

Something i bet players don’t know about if you have nothing in your off hand and hold the block button you actually use the hidden blade and if your assassin damage is high enough you could one hit lots of enemies and it’s also useful on the bigger enemies hitting them can cause a knock back

I’m about 10-15 hours in and I’d say it feels very much like a reskinned Odyssey. (I liked odyssey very much so it isn’t necessarily a bad thing). I love how the world looks and can feel the world building through the unique side quests, however I would say that so far it seems as though there isn’t enough raids to keep up with how I want to upgrade my settlement. Also, I very much like the stealth play style and play on master assassin but I find myself getting spotted through walls, roofs, and brush far too often. The game is not all bad though. I thoroughly enjoy raising, the satisfaction of gaining allies, and watching my settlement grow. I’m glad I know how many skill points I can look forward to getting after watching this. I was a bit worried. I also like how rare weapons are compared to past games. It really feels rewarding when you get new gear this go around.

The best Tip i can give is once you have 90 skill points, or 50 (you’ll have to reset twice) just unlock every skill enough to open the map for the next cluster... go around the whole skills page unlocking the fog on your skills... and then boom... reset and pick the route you want to take. The reset won’t make the skills shadowed out. Once discovered they stay discovered.

[@DraevynLilaste]

Spear and Shield, I absolutely love the combo, you fight like a Spartan. Even have a shield that gives me health on a successful parry, and a spear that increases speed on a dodge.

[@emilybroderick2421]

Spear is 100% the best weapon type, especially when you pick up Gungnir in the late game and just demolish fools. The other thing to note is to take level reccomendations with a grain of salt in both directions. You can definitely hold your own in regions with a higher level with you, but some areas (boss fights) will mislead you with their listed level range and then absolutely destroy you. I almost had to quit my playthrough when I got locked in a boss battle I wasn't strong enough for. The game also doesn't tell you how essential some of the skill abilities are, like Brush with Death.

My favorite part of Valhalla is the "Balance"... In Origins and Odyssey you were capable of defeating ANY enemy, at ANY level (if given enough time), regardless of Difficulty Settings etc... because of the infinite ability to Dodge. And now in Valhalla, with the introduction of the Stamina bar, you can't always do this. That one, seemingly minor, change has made Valhalla so much more balanced and overall (imo) a better game. Gone are the days of taking on 3 or more "Skulls" at once, or an entire town of higher level NPC's. You actually have to THINK about your engagements now; your shots need to be more precise and your attacks, more strategic. I'm REALLY enjoying this game so far.

[@jasonthomas1539]

Had me in the first half.... but the stuff you wrote at the end is so wrong lol. There's no strategy or thinking necessary at all, I run in dual weilding 2h dane axes and I can kill an entire town of guards by myself with ease.

[@buddylee19082]

@@jasonthomas1539 I haven't gotten the dual wielding ability yet. What difficulty are you playing on though?

[@jasonthomas1539]

@@buddylee19082 default, run around and kill archers and grunts for adrenaline slots and use the rush n bash skill or whatever on all the gold nameplated guys, the only ones i hate are the skirmishers because the 2h axes are so slow they just dodge every swing, have to parry those ones.

As much as I love the newer games... I wish Ubisoft would go back to the old play style. Maybe with improved buttons/the better parkour, but like.. the easy press one button and instantly kill the enemy. I grew up playing Assassin’s Creed up until Black Flag, and I miss that style so much.

The loot in this game is awful that's the only big issue I've had, killing zealots gives you no special weapons (so far for me) and almost 90% of chests are just resources for upgrades, pretty uninteresting

been playing it for 10 hours already, have not left Norway yet, been a lot of fun, thanks for the tips!

[@mrgonk871]

Me too, i am trying to do all of Norway before I go to England. I’ve only had two glitches up to now , my boat got stuck near one of the islands and the other glitch happened a village when I leaped over a wall and my character suddenly kept going higher and higher up till eventually I then fell back to earth and didn’t lose no life.

[@jt-rx7lo]

Where are you at now

[@mrgonk871]

I’ve reached England and just done the first raid on a monastery. Haven’t completed all of Norway as I encountered a game breaking glitch which forced me to to reload an earlier save from the previous day. The glitch happened after killing the missing Dengr Erik in the cave and you are supposed to talk to him before he dies but the prompt press Y to speak didn’t come up. After that I couldn’t talk to anyone in the game so were unable to talk to Sigurd at the docks to go to England. It meant that I was stuck in Norway and couldn’t do anything else like the remaining mysteries. In the end I’ve left killing Erik and did some other mysteries to get back to where I was and then just went to England.

[@neiltobey1746]

I just reached England, only thing I did not do yet was fight the guy in the cave.

[@mrgonk871]

Not sure if the glitch was caused because when I first found him in the cave I talked to him and then when he started fighting I ran back out of the cave and went back after I upgraded my weapons and armour. I was going to try again now I’m in England just to see if it glitches again.

And you act like black flag or any of the other games were different they are mixing up the formula just Bc it’s got heavy combat and Vikings doesn’t mean it’s a bad assassins creed game I’ve been playing these games since assassins creed 1 and only been disappointed with three games that over time have grown on me you just have to appreciate each game in its own way if every game was about a generic guy in white robes sneaking this series would get dull fast jjst appreciate it for what it’s tryna be and if you don’t like it go back and play the older games and honestly ask yourself why you like them
