MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Hope you guys have an awesome holiday!!!! Obviously I'm just one dude so if there's anything else you think might be helpful for first-time players, reply here so people can see! Love you all and thanks for watching 💙😁
Thank you so much for posting this, I got it on sale and I’m finally going to be able to play it after Christmas. Been watching all your videos of Valhalla, except for any streams. Super excited!
If you have the game on multiple platforms you may find duplicates of every armor. Just wish they would let you break down pieces of gear, like in other games.
Great introductory video! I’m about 20 hours in and found this very useful. I didn’t know about the incendiary ability so I will be getting that immediately. Another tip for players is to always make manual saves and quicksaves as you play! Some of the checkpoints when roaming on the map are quite far apart (checkpoints during main story missions are generous). Also, some of the trophies are a bit bugged so it’s always best practice!
@@dsacton35 lol the reason why I prefer Valhalla better is because of its story, not how long the campaign is. I also prefer Valhalla more because the exploration and gameplay. The parkour also has improved and skill system is perfect. It’s basically all the good things that ac origins and odyssey have and out into Valhalla.
@@wildanS Yeah CB77 doesn't have a lack of content considering it has the same amount of campaign time as Valhalla and much more interesting side quests.
I’m 53 hours of doing side stuff and the story together but I’m probably only 5 or so hours into the story, how the frick do people finish so quickly 😭😂
@@virtualkingdom886 yeah but he’s talking about people finishing the main story in 50 hours which I’m sure is possible, with hella limited exploration and probably none side content done.
I'm playing this game just over a year after launch, one of the best games I've played. My favourite thing in this game is probably being able to duel wield shields. It's just so funny to me, and cool.
One interesting about this game is about the order on how you do the missions will kinda affect how the stories goes or how the NPCs will react to. For example, if you chose to do Soma's quests before meeting the Legendary Ragnarssons, Ubba will later speak of your deeds for helping Soma during the cutscene. And remember, if you received new letters from allies which asked you to go back to join them in certain events, please do so, you will found some interesting events revolving around those characters.
Thank you! Just bought this last weekend, and I'm loving the exploring and stealth combat. Yet to get over to England, as there is so much wealth and mysteries to discover in the early game. Definitely good to hear your tips, I will loot everything :)
I allready completed this game but this is awesome for people that are getting the game for Christmas. I heard that Valhalla selled the most copies for Christmas. That’s crazy
I've watched half a dozen of these guides while the game downloads. Your guide is my favourite. Its clearly written from a "you do you" philosophy that's nice and objective, and offers logical advice on certain strategies
I will say that definitely having the Hidden Ones building all set up in the settlement is worth it for two things. The first is that Hythiam (sorry for misspelling his name) will teach Eivor the Leap of Faith. The second is the tracking down the members of the Order of the Ancients. In which getting enough medallions will grant some abilities. As well as finding old HQ of the Hidden Ones.
I'm well over 40 hours in been playing since day 1 and this video was still helpful!! Thank you!! Also have a Merry Christmas Jackson!! Thanks for all you've done this year with all ur great content!! Really enjoyed each and every video!!
I`ve only reached England so still early. Is there anything else to spend silver on like weapons? And should I sell all the stuff I looted? Is any of it needed later in the game?
@@andicampbell8621 the Merchants do have some basic weapons for sale for silver but I haven't found much point in buying them given the options/quality of weapons received via other sources (quest completion/opals or other currency) - main use of silver for me has been hiring and healing Joms and raiding folk or the mapmaker, effectively time saving
Am I the only one who is trying hard to like this game but... it gets hard to feel invested? :( Maybe I have played too much Origins and Odyssey.... It is great game but just repetitive in my opinion
It took me almost one year to complete AC Valhalla and all its DLC including Dawn of Ragnarök clocked at approximately 255 hours because I am very busy person as graduate student and professor at university. It was absolutely longest game I have played. I beat Odyssey and all its DLC at 191 hours.
It took me 80 hours over the span of 2 months to complete it and I'm not a university professor lol. This game's story alone is obscenely long, let alone with the dlcs
odyssey at 191 hours????!!!! It is very big. Unfortunately i can't pass the mission in megara where i have to destroy war supplies and i played this particular mission 20 times.
Play skyrim and triple those hours lol. Then try playing it 4 times over 14 years with its mods and development 🤣. It's time for me to move on. I think Valhalla is next 😁
so confused why people would go this far just to get adrenaline... all you have to do is complete a few assassinations or bow headshots. Shit, there's even a mushroom that grows pretty regularly around the map.
I legitimately do NOT understand why people play this genre and only seem to care about “how to level up faster”. Just play the goddamn game, especially this one where you’re literally overleveled for everything like 3 hours into the fucking thing.
Just started this after spending around 300 hours on origins and odyssey. It's a little overwhelming and feels very different. Thanks for this video. Looking forward to getting to grips with Valhalla
I would disagree about not needing to save resources. Sometimes you might get a good weapon or set which you then can’t upgrade cos you spent all your ore and leather on a hammer you don’t use anymore. Always have a bit leftover to spend on endgame stuff.
I played it for roughly 10 12 hours, and found it boring, no proper health, no proper skill, still have to raid settlements, I didn't find any contract or something like that like AC Odyssey, I know I'm a noob but still I have some sense of games, and this game is boring, fewls like I wasted my Money on complete package, like I bought all the DLC without playing it 1st
Many people dont like this game because of how big the game is, yeah it is big but its not a game that end fast like other ac games. This game have earned a place in my heart and a game i never forget i have over 450 hours on this game, completed this game 3 times ❤❤ thank you ubisoft and thank you for the guide👍👍 keep up!!
I love ac. I want them to take unities bones and make games like that along side these. This is my first ac rpg game and it is amazing. But id say its better to look at it as a viking game with ac story elements. But as a rpg im immersed and so glad i tried it on GP. I did get used to the terrible audio. I thought id stop playing because of that it was so obvious. And google says im not crazy, far from it
Thanks for the tips! I've been playing Origins for years now. Picked up Odyssey about a month ago and I'm about 90 hours into it so far. I happened to find Valhalla on sale in the PlayStation store yesterday so I bought it. Saved $91 on the Ultimate Edition, I couldn't pass on that deal lol😅.
Un-equip your beard and it gives you the short/stubble beard. So just select your currently used beard to take it off. You can do the same with your hair to get a true shaved head look.
I’m 20 hours in and I fucking hate it. I don’t understand the quest. I don’t understand what to do first. When I pick a quest there’s a bunch of other shit to do and I don’t know where to start. It’s fucking annoying
Idk why but I love the hunter bow the best for some reason, I just don’t like a light bow and predator bow is just so weird and I don’t like it for actual combat, hunter bow has great range and great damage and you can shoot two arrows at once for anialation and it’s just a fun bow type lol
I'd rather have an amazing breathtaking 20 hour story than 20 arcs and 60hours of boring repetitive missions. I love AC in general but oh my god the last trilogy is so bloated and the writing so poor.. I feel like I could write better lines and storylines myself which scares me. I guess that they aim for a larger audience so it's watered down viking vibes but man.. I replayed SKYRIM recently and in the first hour I was sucked in by the story and the dialogs, characters. AC feels like a game made for babies... But I can't help playing it so... HELP
Does anyone know if there’s any add on packs that are actually worth buying? Are they all purely aesthetic? And if that’s the case I will just wait a year or more and then buy all the extra stuff for probably 10 dollars instead of paying hundreds of dollars on one game! But I did get an incredible deal on Valhalla at Best Buy. I was able to buy the Gold edition with the steel book case with the season pass INCLUDED on discount from $109.99USD to $64.99 USD ! Even though that’s a “good deal” it’s still enough money to not have to pay for anything extra. I understand the micro transactions and they are a business after all and they have to make money to pay for future updates and perhaps more dlc’s in the future. I am just worried about missing out on the limited time events with the AC games because unless you pay for it at launch and play regularly, you will miss out on a lot of cool things and bonus resources.
How do i acess the dlc??? It didnt look like it was unlocked for me. I did get a out of place teaser for dawn of rag early in the story out of nowhere with no context or explanation. But i heard they added that to the game awhile ago
@@completelytransparent6320 Same here just started playing it no idea as to how to access the dlc unless its just when you go through the story to get to it normally not too sure though
@@Sparx01 i think he might be mistaken. Ubi is pretty greedy id bet the put the 200hr rpg on gp and they are bound to get new sales on the dlc from ppl who want more. I saw someone start the game streaming(they bought it tho) and it had the option for reg story and below it said dawn of ragnarock so i dont think we have it. Oh well lol im liking the game and taking chunks out of this monster lil by lil
@@completelytransparent6320 Very true and yeah thats it, if it is worth it after completing the story to the point of having to buy it may be worth it to travel to Ireland i would for sure
Hugely Informational, excellently ordered, a little slow but easy to follow and really spoiler friendly considering the guide type. I'll be looking at more of your videos for more in depth tips and tricks.
The more i get into Odyssey the more i feel im never going to get to play Valhalla 😅 leveling up is crazy now. Never thought the AC series would turn RPG
Not as overwhelming as Odyssey im sure! Lol I recently finished the main game+cultists and First assassin dlc and Im at 130hrs, next Atlantis dlc, gonna finally finish the game before moving onto Valhalla. I had Odyssey since launch believe it or not but quit somewhere in the middle.
Thanks for explaining in such a good way.. I'm really late for playing this game and I'm grateful for your support.. May the force be with you.. Always..👍❤️
I had this game for awhile but I stopped playing it after 10 hours i thought it was boring but I'm replaying all the assassins creed games and this is my final stop just jumped back into it got 7 hours in tonight and I'm hooked now I can't believe this was just sitting in my library for months
I decided to use faith option only on skills since this is viking game and vikings usually believed that what ever comes is the gods will. So i will let my fate speak lol
I wish the game was shorter etc. Im 67 hours in because I just cant pass something up but the combat is so janky and boring I just want the game to end its not fun raiding etc. now
I never really understood people who do the exploits in valhalla because valhalla really isn't that grindy of a game (it wasn't before they added the xp booster but idk how it is now)
Really? I can never get to the recommended power levels unless I grind through the map locations which takes me hours to do mostly 🥴 or maybe I’m just too slow and am missing something I don’t mind doing the side stuff but when I just want to get through to the main story but can’t because I’m under level it’s very frustrating. Though I suppose I know games who have worser grinds.
@@theoutcast9215 is it before or after the patch? Either way you can easily complete arcs that are 100+ levels above you if you use stealth and is a little patient in combat
mellangard I suppose that’s true, but the raids and places you can’t use stealth will probably be hard. For some reason I keep getting caught whenever I try being stealthy too, lol. Maybe I just suck at being patient enough to be stealthy and careful. 😂 And honestly I have no idea. It’s still kind of grindy to me now so I guess after the patch? If I ever want to progress through the story right away but am under level I may just go for that method you suggested. I don’t get people who are so high leveled super quickly and early on though, I guess they use the exploits and speed run it that way 😂😂 or I’m missing something
@@theoutcast9215 yeah the stealth in valhalla is a bit inconsistent, sometimes it works fine and some other times a random guard spots you from across the camp in a milisecond. The times the stealth work are really good tho
If you press C (default crouch/parkour down) right before/as you hit a low obstacle Eivor will quickly jump/vault over it like Conor could in AC:3. Probably a lot more well-known, but if you press crouch while sprinting Eivor will perform a slide into the crouched position. Obviously the key is C when playing on a keyboard but I believe its O on Playstation and B on Xbox by default. If you didnt know this and it helped you give this a like so other can see it!
I got the game but i have not played it yet because im two weeks from finishing my college year. I just wanted to say that this video will be AMAZING help for when i start the game. Thank you very much 💕💕💕
@420mphyeet hate to break it to you, but, yes, it is. Maybe not all of it, but the stuff about how to level up and getting gear/upgrading gear especially.
I just started it after completing Odyssey. This game looks million times complicated than it even with the far sophisticated yet much larger skill tree.
Those small side quests that aren't tracked. You got altars requiring different things. You got the stupid river raids. I think they were trying for MMO almost. I did 170 hours it's an OK game. There's a DLC now too. I think by 170 hours you'll want it to end LOL.
This video should start with “at least wait a year for Ubisoft to fix, patch and actually finish the game, otherwise you’ll have an incomplete and sometimes frustrating experience”
I picked this up yesterday. Going with the "it's a viking game" approach . Seems good so far. The combat is not the best to me feels stiff but not terrible. I got the flying knee knockdown and unlock the headstomp . Doesn't seem to work, anybody can explain?
This was the BEST VIDEO I have watched so far, not only about AC Valhalla but about any of the games I play. I watch a lot of these type of videos so that I can have the best experience when playing my game and this one was truly the best. I have saved it so I can find it easily if I need to. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Question, Since I've built my Tattoo and Barber shop that was the only time they were at the shop to cut my hair and tattoo me. Now eveytime I return to the Settlement, the shop is empty. The NPCs are not there and I don't know why? Its been like 20 hours of game play since I've upgraded the shop and I'm wondering if they are glitches out or do they return at some point?
4:40 It happened to me, that I cleared the whole area of an abbey and called my crew to complete the raid and suddenly there were at least one third of enemies who had respawn all over the location. So I thought there would be no battle but there still was some fighting.
Indeed! I am watching this in the future. And not having played an Assassin's Creed game since Black Flag, I find myself completely lost on this. Thank you for the video explaining things.
I just wanna say thank you so much for this Ik the game a month old now and u could have easily just not made a beginner tips but u did for us getting it on sale and Christmas day so thank you also merry christmas jayvee
I did a fair number of these things on my game. But not all of them. I will try to remember what you said about the incendiary arrows. Had no idea they were that helpful.
I just found this video because I just bought this game, but your channel is awesome. You explain things so well and it's easy to listen to you. Thank you and happy gaming y'all.
I need help and I would appreciate any advice. First some context I am not a fan of Assassin’s Creed. I have only played AC1, the Ezio games, Liberation, and a bit of Black Flag (probs the best imo). I bought this game on impulse since the ultimate edition was cheap, I love Norse culture (even though I am aware of how dishonest Ubisoft is with history), and I learned a huge spoiler. The spoiler is what made me fall to the impulse buy. I tried refunding the game but I couldn’t and now I’m stuck with it. So with that out of the way, I still need some advice. (This video is really good and the settlement part is a huge help). Should I play this game on Berserker, Master Assasin, and Pathfinder on my first play through? Is the game enjoyable to play in hard? I remember not enjoying the games I played due to how brain dead it was. Most importantly should I set exploration on my first play through on the highest difficulty? Does the game give me hints on where everything is or should I simply play with the middle exploration option on my first play through?
eivor fighting kassandra in the isle of skye, the best cinematic in any game!!! The problem is that in order to build every building in ravensthorpe you need a lot of supplies and raw materials. In river raids all my crew died{you lose the foreign supplies you gathered if all of your crew dies}and i have power level 90 so i have lot of work to do because the remaining monasteries have a power level requirement of 120 150 180 and above that. I have completed many contacts and avenged the death of 4 other players...... next step to build the trading post because i have opal to spend and maybe the merchant is offering some good weapons. In the beginning i used dual axes but later i bought a two handed sword and a dagger. Without dodge and parry everyone is pretty well dead in a matter of seconds, hahaha. This game has given me a lot of happy hours and i will continue to play it maybe even buy the dlcs
Odyssey was my first AC game. Had over 400hrs, because I was learning the ropes. I liked Odyssey so much, that I bought the entire series back to Ezio. Nearly caught up, and 30 hrs into Valhalla. So far, I don't like the set up, but maybe that will change in time. I will never like bloat, and those stupid flying papers are the biggest time waisters imo. I'm just letting the game assign the skill points for now, but will reset them once I get a handle on it. They did a good job with the environment, but the character motion capture and diolog sucks compared to Origins and Odyssey. Some of the world events suck too as time waisters. Origins had more fluidity to their side quest and meant something. Just because a game is bigger doesn't make it better. Some of Odyssey side quest were rinse and repeat as well. I'll keep an open mind and maybe my opinion will change, but right now Valhalla is the worste

A Tip he forgot to mention is that if you have no Adrenaline you can assassinate the dummies outside the hidden ones bureau they give you adrenaline
Im 70 hours in how did I not know that.

@@hectornajar5835 EaEaea!A
@@hectornajar5835 there was a red fire vase thingy right across from the waterfall pond lol

Awesome!! Hope you enjoy :)
You’re going to enjoy it. It’s better than odyssey and origins. IMO to me this is by far the best AC
I was gonna finish Odyssey first but since I knew the story anyways through spoilers I decided to jump right into Valhalla lol

Valhalla is my very 1st Assassin's Creed game and I'm really liking it. November 2022. The 3rd person open world RPG feel is just right for me.
Try Odyssey or Origins, they feel much better imo, both gameplay and game world

At Ravensthorpe, you can also assassinate the dummy's by at the Assassin's Bureau to refill Adrenaline bars.
so confused why people would go this far just to get adrenaline... all you have to do is complete a few assassinations or bow headshots. Shit, there's even a mushroom that grows pretty regularly around the map.

Just bought it right now
Did you experienced a problem with saving progress? When you press continue
I would disagree about not needing to save resources. Sometimes you might get a good weapon or set which you then can’t upgrade cos you spent all your ore and leather on a hammer you don’t use anymore. Always have a bit leftover to spend on endgame stuff.
This guide will be so useful for when I get Valhalla. Great job jayvee. Keep up the great content. Hope you have a merry Christmas 😁
Fun fact; Ravensthorpe is a place in England and I live a town over from it lol

How did you get the short beard in the thumbnail. Is it in the game?

Yes. Hair and beard styles can be bought from merchants in the game.

Idk why but I love the hunter bow the best for some reason, I just don’t like a light bow and predator bow is just so weird and I don’t like it for actual combat, hunter bow has great range and great damage and you can shoot two arrows at once for anialation and it’s just a fun bow type lol
Bro the way you spelled annihilation is so funny 😂😂😂😂
@@datdamadude lol thanks, auto correct didn’t work for me and idk how to spell it lol
odyssey i love, but Valhalla seems boring i have played, why?
How did you get that hair and beard in the thumbnail?
What's the armor set he is using?
I'd rather have an amazing breathtaking 20 hour story than 20 arcs and 60hours of boring repetitive missions.
I love AC in general but oh my god the last trilogy is so bloated and the writing so poor.. I feel like I could write better lines and storylines myself which scares me.
I guess that they aim for a larger audience so it's watered down viking vibes but man.. I replayed SKYRIM recently and in the first hour I was sucked in by the story and the dialogs, characters. AC feels like a game made for babies...
But I can't help playing it so... HELP
Totally agree. Everytime I see these videos I want to start the game again. Then I start, do one mission and then turn it off again.
Does anyone know if there’s any add on packs that are actually worth buying? Are they all purely aesthetic? And if that’s the case I will just wait a year or more and then buy all the extra stuff for probably 10 dollars instead of paying hundreds of dollars on one game! But I did get an incredible deal on Valhalla at Best Buy. I was able to buy the Gold edition with the steel book case with the season pass INCLUDED on discount from $109.99USD to $64.99 USD ! Even though that’s a “good deal” it’s still enough money to not have to pay for anything extra. I understand the micro transactions and they are a business after all and they have to make money to pay for future updates and perhaps more dlc’s in the future. I am just worried about missing out on the limited time events with the AC games because unless you pay for it at launch and play regularly, you will miss out on a lot of cool things and bonus resources.
It's now on Game Pass with all the DLC unlocked.
Have fun.
How do i acess the dlc??? It didnt look like it was unlocked for me. I did get a out of place teaser for dawn of rag early in the story out of nowhere with no context or explanation. But i heard they added that to the game awhile ago
@@completelytransparent6320 Same here just started playing it no idea as to how to access the dlc unless its just when you go through the story to get to it normally not too sure though
@@Sparx01 i think he might be mistaken. Ubi is pretty greedy id bet the put the 200hr rpg on gp and they are bound to get new sales on the dlc from ppl who want more. I saw someone start the game streaming(they bought it tho) and it had the option for reg story and below it said dawn of ragnarock so i dont think we have it. Oh well lol im liking the game and taking chunks out of this monster lil by lil
@@completelytransparent6320 Very true and yeah thats it, if it is worth it after completing the story to the point of having to buy it may be worth it to travel to Ireland i would for sure
Hugely Informational, excellently ordered, a little slow but easy to follow and really spoiler friendly considering the guide type.
I'll be looking at more of your videos for more in depth tips and tricks.
How is the world of the game, is it alive? do NPC live their lives, is exploring great? is it a realistic version of the game at that time? :) thanks
The more i get into Odyssey the more i feel im never going to get to play Valhalla 😅 leveling up is crazy now. Never thought the AC series would turn RPG
Not as overwhelming as Odyssey im sure! Lol I recently finished the main game+cultists and First assassin dlc and Im at 130hrs, next Atlantis dlc, gonna finally finish the game before moving onto Valhalla. I had Odyssey since launch believe it or not but quit somewhere in the middle.
I dont care what people say, odyssey is a great game, and believe it or not it a major step in the assassins creed franchise
This was actually the most informative helpful video I’ve watched about Valhalla. Thanks for the info
Fuck this game the microtransactions make me not want to play it. I just got it and I want to return it. I feel like I wasted my money.
Do lots of hunting and smash rocks for iron ore and do lots of raids for raw materials.
Got the game three weeks ago today and I’m at 116hrs without finishing the story yet. On purpose btw because I’m not in any hurry
Thanks for explaining in such a good way..
I'm really late for playing this game and I'm grateful for your support..
May the force be with you..
Always..👍❤️
Straight to the point, easy to understand and great tips.
Thank you!
I had this game for awhile but I stopped playing it after 10 hours i thought it was boring but I'm replaying all the assassins creed games and this is my final stop just jumped back into it got 7 hours in tonight and I'm hooked now I can't believe this was just sitting in my library for months
Really appreciate this bro am getting this for Christmas and am glad your doing a guide for those who get it after launch thanks again 🙏💯
How the hell you got that stubble beard?
Why would you want it you look like loki
@@topc5091 I don’t think he would look like Loki with long hair
Can you have stubble as a beard option? I know there's clean shave but I haven't seen stubble
If u click apply on one of them, just click apply and it’ll unapply it, giving u the stubble
I decided to use faith option only on skills since this is viking game and vikings usually believed that what ever comes is the gods will. So i will let my fate speak lol
Jayvee Your videos are great!
its not englang. its engleland!!!
are you okay
Just a couple of hours into this game found this a big help
I wish the game was shorter etc. Im 67 hours in because I just cant pass something up but the combat is so janky and boring I just want the game to end its not fun raiding etc. now
I like to go to the area of the next mission and uncover, collect and complete everything/as much as possible before I do the mission.
I loved Odyssey. But I just couldn’t get into this one. Which sucks because I loved the previous game so much
Thank you Jackson!
Thanks for watching, Victor!
I never really understood people who do the exploits in valhalla because valhalla really isn't that grindy of a game (it wasn't before they added the xp booster but idk how it is now)
Really? I can never get to the recommended power levels unless I grind through the map locations which takes me hours to do mostly 🥴 or maybe I’m just too slow and am missing something
I don’t mind doing the side stuff but when I just want to get through to the main story but can’t because I’m under level it’s very frustrating.
Though I suppose I know games who have worser grinds.
@@theoutcast9215 is it before or after the patch?
Either way you can easily complete arcs that are 100+ levels above you if you use stealth and is a little patient in combat
mellangard I suppose that’s true, but the raids and places you can’t use stealth will probably be hard. For some reason I keep getting caught whenever I try being stealthy too, lol. Maybe I just suck at being patient enough to be stealthy and careful. 😂
And honestly I have no idea. It’s still kind of grindy to me now so I guess after the patch?
If I ever want to progress through the story right away but am under level I may just go for that method you suggested.
I don’t get people who are so high leveled super quickly and early on though, I guess they use the exploits and speed run it that way 😂😂 or I’m missing something
@@theoutcast9215 yeah the stealth in valhalla is a bit inconsistent, sometimes it works fine and some other times a random guard spots you from across the camp in a milisecond.
The times the stealth work are really good tho
Hey jayvee do think you think the new Ac will surpassed Ac Valhalla?
If you press C (default crouch/parkour down) right before/as you hit a low obstacle Eivor will quickly jump/vault over it like Conor could in AC:3.
Probably a lot more well-known, but if you press crouch while sprinting Eivor will perform a slide into the crouched position.
Obviously the key is C when playing on a keyboard but I believe its O on Playstation and B on Xbox by default.
If you didnt know this and it helped you give this a like so other can see it!
2023, best year to play it, with all patches, DLCs and reduced price. You all playing before made a mistake
gs
I'm still kinda in the beginning of the game but I want to know how do u unlock the full map?
I got the game but i have not played it yet because im two weeks from finishing my college year. I just wanted to say that this video will be AMAZING help for when i start the game. Thank you very much 💕💕💕
i have 800 hours into this game none of his info is accurate
@420mphyeet hate to break it to you, but, yes, it is. Maybe not all of it, but the stuff about how to level up and getting gear/upgrading gear especially.
Just beat Origins, got odyssey, currently level 8….just got Valhalla last night…haven’t played it yet! LOVE Origins!!
What shield were you using at 4:12? Looks amazing
I just started it after completing Odyssey. This game looks million times complicated than it even with the far sophisticated yet much larger skill tree.
Simple starter guide, don't buy this game.
why?
What is there to do after you finish the main story? Im only 8 hours in, I love this game I don’t want it to end 😂
Those small side quests that aren't tracked. You got altars requiring different things. You got the stupid river raids. I think they were trying for MMO almost. I did 170 hours it's an OK game. There's a DLC now too. I think by 170 hours you'll want it to end LOL.
where did u get this beard tho
This game is so beautiful I have bought it on my PS5 and it’s really cool
i got insane whiplash seeing you get on a damn moose as your mount as im only like 5 hours in LOL
ty for the banger vid
This video should start with “at least wait a year for Ubisoft to fix, patch and actually finish the game, otherwise you’ll have an incomplete and sometimes frustrating experience”
I picked this up yesterday. Going with the "it's a viking game" approach . Seems good so far.
The combat is not the best to me feels stiff but not terrible.
I got the flying knee knockdown and unlock the headstomp .
Doesn't seem to work, anybody can explain?
This was the BEST VIDEO I have watched so far, not only about AC Valhalla but about any of the games I play. I watch a lot of these type of videos so that I can have the best experience when playing my game and this one was truly the best. I have saved it so I can find it easily if I need to. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Question, Since I've built my Tattoo and Barber shop that was the only time they were at the shop to cut my hair and tattoo me.
Now eveytime I return to the Settlement, the shop is empty. The NPCs are not there and I don't know why? Its been like 20 hours of game play since I've upgraded the shop and I'm wondering if they are glitches out or do they return at some point?
There is a small cutscene/plot point based around the tattoo shop. You may need to find or trigger that to get them back again. Hope this helps.
@@samcope-keane7409 OK. Imma search for this! Ill let ya know
4:40 It happened to me, that I cleared the whole area of an abbey and called my crew to complete the raid and suddenly there were at least one third of enemies who had respawn all over the location. So I thought there would be no battle but there still was some fighting.
Indeed! I am watching this in the future. And not having played an Assassin's Creed game since Black Flag, I find myself completely lost on this. Thank you for the video explaining things.
I just wanna say thank you so much for this
Ik the game a month old now and u could have easily just not made a beginner tips but u did for us getting it on sale and Christmas day so thank you also merry christmas jayvee
I did a fair number of these things on my game. But not all of them. I will try to remember what you said about the incendiary arrows. Had no idea they were that helpful.
I just found this video because I just bought this game, but your channel is awesome. You explain things so well and it's easy to listen to you. Thank you and happy gaming y'all.
I need help and I would appreciate any advice.
First some context I am not a fan of Assassin’s Creed. I have only played AC1, the Ezio games, Liberation, and a bit of Black Flag (probs the best imo). I bought this game on impulse since the ultimate edition was cheap, I love Norse culture (even though I am aware of how dishonest Ubisoft is with history), and I learned a huge spoiler. The spoiler is what made me fall to the impulse buy. I tried refunding the game but I couldn’t and now I’m stuck with it.
So with that out of the way, I still need some advice. (This video is really good and the settlement part is a huge help). Should I play this game on Berserker, Master Assasin, and Pathfinder on my first play through? Is the game enjoyable to play in hard? I remember not enjoying the games I played due to how brain dead it was. Most importantly should I set exploration on my first play through on the highest difficulty? Does the game give me hints on where everything is or should I simply play with the middle exploration option on my first play through?
Just picked this game up for $40, quite pleased with it so far, I'm glad the shield is back!
I'm playing on very hard and am 8 hours in and still haven't gotten the rest of the map unlocked
I know I’m late, but I’m 20 hours in and haven’t even completed my first alliance quest line. This game is huge and I love it
eivor fighting kassandra in the isle of skye, the best cinematic in any game!!! The problem is that in order to build every building in ravensthorpe you need a lot of supplies and raw materials. In river raids all my crew died{you lose the foreign supplies you gathered if all of your crew dies}and i have power level 90 so i have lot of work to do because the remaining monasteries have a power level requirement of 120 150 180 and above that. I have completed many contacts and avenged the death of 4 other players...... next step to build the trading post because i have opal to spend and maybe the merchant is offering some good weapons. In the beginning i used dual axes but later i bought a two handed sword and a dagger. Without dodge and parry everyone is pretty well dead in a matter of seconds, hahaha. This game has given me a lot of happy hours and i will continue to play it maybe even buy the dlcs
Odyssey was my first AC game. Had over 400hrs, because I was learning the ropes. I liked Odyssey so much, that I bought the entire series back to Ezio. Nearly caught up, and 30 hrs into Valhalla. So far, I don't like the set up, but maybe that will change in time. I will never like bloat, and those stupid flying papers are the biggest time waisters imo. I'm just letting the game assign the skill points for now, but will reset them once I get a handle on it. They did a good job with the environment, but the character motion capture and diolog sucks compared to Origins and Odyssey. Some of the world events suck too as time waisters. Origins had more fluidity to their side quest and meant something. Just because a game is bigger doesn't make it better. Some of Odyssey side quest were rinse and repeat as well. I'll keep an open mind and maybe my opinion will change, but right now Valhalla is the worste
How did you get that deer that you ride through the video
