Assassin’s Creed Valhalla takes us (back) to Europe. This time, we’re playing as a viking, with all the raiding and axe-wielding that goes along with that. Polygon’s Valhalla guides are here to help you get the most out of the game.
Getting started
When you first hop into Norway as Eivor, we’ve got an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla beginner’s guide with nine tips to get you started. Like other recent Assassin’s Creed games, there’s a whole lot of game before you get to the assassin-y part of Valhalla, so we’ll help you find your way.
We’ve also got tips like how to Quick Save (which is useful since so much of the wildlife wants you dead).
Skills and Abilities
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a massive and convoluted skill tree. Better yet, it’s shrouded in fog, hiding most things until you get farther down a particular path. We’ve got you covered with a full map of the skill tree and a list of your options. And we’ve got a list of our 10 favorite skills to unlock.
Maps
Once you’ve settled into the game, we’ve got maps for collecting and completing every area’s Wealth, Mysteries, and Artifacts. You can start with all Rygjafylke Wealth, Mysteries, and Artifacts. And we’ve got guides for finding the Treasure Hoards scattered around Assassin’s Creed Valhalla like the Rygjafylke Treasure Hoard.
We’re also mapping out the location of every Ability, and you can begin by finding every Book of Knowledge in Rygjafylke, Norway.
