@cool dude I mean I love assassins creed but you are 100% right. Its never made much sense. Especially since the assassins literally run around crowded cities doing parkour everywhere with a hood on lol
Sorry, but one of the best abilities that I'm not sure how you didn't mention is having your raven pick up your slain enemies loot/arrows. You can take out a whole place without having to even face the enemies. Highly underrated.
it's one of the skill tree abilities, literally so so so useful. plus you can kill a target from a distance and get the quest item, and get the loot off of killed animals without running after the body
In this one there's a skill that lets you pick up any enemy weapon and throw it at another enemy. Of course, it's not guaranteed .. first time I tried it, I picked up a spear and threw it into a river.. the trick is to be facing your enemy I guess. :P
Purchasing the Stable in your Settlement is definitely not a priority. Simply visit a town that has a stable and upgrade your horse from there.. Proceed to use your supplies elsewhere :)
definitely not a priority, im almost 60 hours in and still dont have it lol , i went barracks ,hidden ones bureau, blacksmith ,trading post, hunters hut, cartographer , seers hut (for dlc like missions) museum, fishing hut, tattoo shop, a ladies house that improves settlement buildings and im now going to improve the feast buff (which I've never had to use anyway)
@@connerdenton4239 i retract my statement. I wandered into a 260 power area ans a pack of wolves chased me on my wolf for a solid 3 mins before sending me to Valhalla 😂
I mean, this might be an AC game, but there's nothing "assassin-y" or stealthy about a viking for me; so, for this play through, I've opted to simply ignore them. Plus, Hytham tried to take my revenge kill from me by interferring in my fight with Kjotve; so screw that guy and his weird Hide In Plain Sight fetish. ;)
@@vocorus598 "There is nothing stealthy about a Viking." Misguided by pop culture, are you? It's a wrong concept that Vikings went into battle like madmen and never used stealth because it would stain their honor. They were some of most successful raiders of all time and absolutely used stealth whenever they got an opportunity. Do some research.
Talking about weapons, I *highly* recommend unlocking the ability to dual wield 2-handed weapons (bear tree, left side, takes around 20~25ish pts to reach), then use a 2h Axe in your offhand (I like spear or 2h Sword in main hand), this lets you swirl both weapons around you, decimating shields (and enemies) in a 360 AoE with very nice range.
Definitely worth it, especially if you unlock the weapon swap skill. Right now I’m rocking an axe in my main hand and a great sword in my off-hand. Perfect combo for walking in and tearing things up
Barnabas is such an underrated character. He’s like Uncle in rdr2, most of the time a goofy and silly person, but deep down he genuinely cares for the people he loves. I wish he had more of a bigger role in the main story.
I raided that high level monastery by accident too but managed to beat it with advanced assassination and combat with the rest of them. The level gating in this game is no where near as bad as in origins and odyssey.
I can’t speak for origins since i haven’t played it but odysseys level gating was really easy, the only reason it wasn’t worth going for crazy high level enemies was the level restriction on gear
Raid from land can only be started in certain locations. "Blow Horn" icon will turn into "Start Raid" option if you are eligible to call your crew for raid.
How to get Dive of the Valkyries : When you go to England you'll see the longhouse, and there'll be Randvi inside and you want to pledge to Grantebridgescire first because, the final quest (to assassinate Wigmund) you'll see a book of knowledge downstairs in one of the buildings there is a door that'll lead you downstairs and getting Dive of the Valkyries If the owner of the channel sees this pls pin it so everyone can see or pls like so everyone else can see
Or you can just go to that raid like I did. I pledged but decided to do a raid in the way and got it. I guess I know where that mission is sending me lol
The second tip is a bit shaky. While Hidden Ones Bureau is def a must and you'll need blacksmith of course, the horse shop can wait: you can train your horse/change skins at any horse shop in any other location too... Important buildings are especially those who give you armour and other boosts, like bakery and then all the other buildings that add up to the feast bonus.
I’m 20 hours in, still only on chapter 3 I’ve just been exploring everything that is on offer. It’s a masterpiece, can’t wait to play it on PS5 next week 😎
This game is incredible. Ubisoft was just like, let’s mix together all of our games- one enemy did the triple stab move peacekeeper has from for honor. Telling the wolf to attack is from far cry. Lots of moves from for honor are implemented. The loss of stamina is also from for honor. Even though they didn’t make RDR2, they have the cinematic camera from it. Despite the small bugs (mine usually involve buggy conversations with NPSC’s), Ubisoft did a great job of combining many gameplay options that they know players love!

Biggest Tip: There is a really big bug early on in the game (within the first 30 minutes) - and if you encounter this bug, you won't be able to progress through the story at all, and the only way to fix it (currently) is to restart your game. People who experienced this bug (like myself) spent 2-3 hours exploring, and then realized we had to nuke the game to continue. I'll try not to add any spoilers, but here's a vague description of what to expect in order to avoid the bug: 1) As soon as you get your ship, the quest marker will point you towards a town. 2) Once in the town, follow the main story. (Talk to everyone in the town) 3) DO NOT LEAVE THE TOWN AT ALL 4) The quest objectives will have you talk to the King (which you wont be able to), then the Blacksmith, then you'll try to talk to the King again, but you wont be able to, and you'll get an objective to talk to Valka (the Seer). 5) Go STRAIGHT to the Seer. Then you should be good. This quest seems to bug out for those of us that went exploring and found the Seer before we were supposed to.
The game is really bad at adapting to "alternate paths"; if you don't do something in a particular order, it gets stuck or confused. For example, when doing the Beowulf quest, if you get to a certain point and kill a certain monster before the quest tells you to go there, the quest bugs out and you can't complete it. Reloading your save game will trigger the quest completion, but still, rather obvious oversight by Ubi.
Charged Shot is a skill in the blue section of the skill tree (skill, not ability) that allows you to shoot two hunter arrows at once. A simple arrow does more damage than any other item in the game. It is 1000% the strongest ability (and acquirable thing overall) in the entire game. I’ve taken out lvl 400 bosses at lvl 50. ---- Other notable skills (again, skill tree not abilities) are Missile Reversal which is great to get ranged enemies that are far away in fortresses without needing to take time to actually shoot/attack them. You press it before a projectile hits you and you’ll throw it/shoot it back without having to aim. Instant kill. --- Another invaluable skill is Breakfall which significantly lessens the fall damage Eivor takes. Unless you enjoy a dreadfully slow climb down the side of every vertical object, it’s something you should absolutely prioritize. There are a couple other skills that allow you to retrieve arrows you’ve shot, loot arrows from archers, have the raven auto-loot things you shoot, and regain lost health when hitting enemies that I’ve enjoyed having. These are more quality-of-life, however, and I would still STRONGLY encourage going after the first three I mentioned as they are undoubtedly the most useful skills.
by the way, it is actually not hard to raid the higher power level monasteries on normal mode as you can leave most of the work to your crew and work primarily on gaining wealth; when your crew dies you can repetitively revive them. hope this helped!
I just started playing it on PC. And controls feel AMAZING. Combat is SICK. I really thought it will not be challenging but on higher difficulty its great. Every strike you really feel like you hit him great game so far
Honestly my favorite assasins creed story since black flag, every mission is like a TV show episode that i love, the characters are amazing to so far .
This game has gotten a bit of mixed reviews but I’m about 20 hours in now and I’m absolutely loving it. My biggest gripe with it is that the movement can be a bit clunky. There’s no reason why a character’s movement should be clunky in 2021 but aside from that, all the other little “problems” with it can easily be overlooked, at least for me. The storyline, the pacing and everything else are awesome!
I actually found the "Man's best friend" ability somewhere before that sidequest with the kid. I find it crucial in getting critical stomp hits on tough to beat baddies.
Idk if this is known or why it wasnt in this video but i haven't seen anyone comment on it but the perfect dodge "slow time" perk also instantly refills your stamina gauge. Makes for worrying about stamina a thing of the past
I love all these intuitive videos that you make are incredible. I even watch your videos about games that I don't play and that I know I won't play ahaha. Stay up the good work and good luck with the rest of the chanel.
@@handoaleman9967 extremely time consuming, I’ve had it for years and it gets boring after a while every time I try to finish it. So far Valhalla seems much more smooth
This was such an excellent video! Thank you for this! So excited to play this game tomorrow, and now I have the knowledge I need to be a better Viking!
Been playing since Friday, received my Collector’s edition and was able to get a head start on it. Only thing I couldn’t redeem was the season pass and ultimate pack code for the digital additional content until launch. Which I’m ok with honestly there is sooooo much to do right off the back. For those anticipating the release hold strong it’ll be very well worth it ! The graphics are gorgeous even more so on the series X and PS5 respectively. I can imagine. I’m playing on the X and it runs smoothly.
When you do the quest where you can talk them down by half just a heads up doesn't matter what you pay you can successfully pickpocket all of your money back even with no stealth just after paying.
Blue skill tree is actually range with the wolf and yellow is assassination with the crow. so they are actually ass backwards, seeing how the wolf is the stealthy creature and the crow is a perfect fit for range.
The only complaint i have heard, is the dumbest complaint someone can have about a open world rpg game, imo. They claim its too long. It is about as stupid as telling your boss he/she is paying you too much $.
Most reviews sites and user reviews are super positive ign gave it a good review pc gamer gave it a 92 the consensus is it's an amazing game held back by bugs if you are like me and don't mind hugs it's a masterpiece. Some TH-cam reviews complain about length or slog but that seems super subjective I put over 100 hours in odyssey never got super bored or hit a bad level gate so maybe I'm biased but I think the new ac games are criminally underated. I have played every ac games except unity and liberation and so far valhalla is my favorite
@@Fidilisfool I have played the older games but not for a long time, so gave Odyssey a try, loved and got Origins and put many hours into both. And now I'm really enjoying valhalla. A few little issues, here and there but that's to be expected so close to launch.
@@MrsGraphiteGal the old games were different and good in there own right but I am excited it changed directions. It would have been boring if it didn't shake things up.
While at first look it does appear the skill tree looks like what you are referring too but to be honest, it more points to what kind of gear you are going to be using. If you are concentrating on Raven gear, you should go yellow, Wolf goes blue and Bear Red. It is good to get some of the abilities from all 3 but there are some skill nodes that would be pointless to get if you are not wearing said gear. The one thing I miss REALLY bad is multiple bow slots so I dont have to keep going into my menu to change a bow out. I use the Predator for distance head shot damage, then when I get into a settlement, I will change to Hunter or Light depending on the enemies in question.
I see you playing as the female version of Eivor do you like her so far? I loved Kassandra in Odyssey it felt like the story was meant for her trying to get your brother back with your family.
Yeah. I really like her, and I also loved Kassandra. Eivor has a sense of humor, which I love, but it's very different from Kassandra's. Eivor's humor is much more dry. She's also just a good person (besides the mass murder that comes with being the star of an AC game). She genuinely cares about people, especially her brother. I'm sure the same could be said for male Eivor, but I'm gonna stick with Female Eivor.
@@QuestMode I’m loving my time with male Eivor.. he is the actor that plays Cnut in The Last Kingdom so once I learned that it was an obvious choice for me lol. Loving this game! Literally spent like 10 hours in the starter area before the prologue even rolled 🤣
Build the hunting hut first it unlocks missions the bakery has missions too .. the ac building is very important and the shop although there is a shop in every town/city too so it's not too essential but it's up there ... Once the river raid dock is built do raids to get supplies to build the Amory with gives you more gear build slots I have 1 for light assassin work (2 sax) 1 with light ammor with a 2 handed weapon and my every day type build for roaming around .. other than the map shop, roman place,and tattoo shop the rest are just for feast boost's
4:00 my favourite is dual grate swords cus funny swords go spin and also cus you have to think more into what you do and not just spam and run it’s how I learned how to get good at parry and dashs
I got bored of Odyssey... Same type of quests, looting everything (that you don't really need at some point) and attacking and killing people in forts. That's just it. A huge map that has the same stuff all over again doesn't sound appealing to me. Care to explain how its different in Valhalla?
Valhalla has a lot more variety in the quests in my opinion :). There is also more of an incentive to explore and find exciting new weapons and armour, as well as upgrading all of your gear since everything is more rare, and the visuals of your gear will look cooler over time as well.
@@timshaw1468 Ok thanks. Although the last part is the same in Odyssey ofcourse. But maybe I just had enough of AC kinda games. I played AC1 and only just Origins (that blew me away). After that it all feels a bit too much the same. Plus I always expect they get more out of the NPC's. The only thing that makes the NPC different is when they play music :) Would be way cooler if you had more interactions with NPC's besides the 'ow' if you walk against them.
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!
This is the best video for tips on valhalla I've seen. And it also boggles my mind how ubisoft ade so many minor flaws in telling you how the game works
There’s also this ability (I forgot the name of it) but it slows down time when you’re shooting arrows and I found out that it doesn’t consume normal arrows, so if you’re completely out of arrows then you can still use the ability, because the ability replenishes your arrows when you use it, combine this with a light bow and it is a deadly combination, and the slow motion of the ability is tied to your stamina, it’s not a “timed” slow motion sort of thing like in odyssey, so the more stamina you have the more arrows you’ll shoot, and if you run out of arrows because you haven’t upgraded the quiver it’ll keep replenishing your arrows until you run out of stamina. This is actually one of the best abilities in the entire game and I don’t see a lot of people mentioning it or eve. Using it in their videos. So much so to the point where I wasn’t even gonna mention it to anyone just because the devs might realize how powerful this ability is and nerf it. The headshots from your bow even stun people, then it gives you more time to hit enemy weakpoints allowing you to go in for the stun damage every time because time is slowed down for the enemies and yet you’re moving fast, so you’ll be done killed about 5-8 people just walking in a straight line just shooting arrows left and right and finally get to the boss and just do him wrong, I fought Rued with this ability and by the time my stamina was depleted rued was already on his knees and I just went over then and did the stun damage attack to finish him off. It works on all enemies. I forgot that you can jump off of walls or any high place really and hold down L2 or whatever the aiming button is on other systems and it’ll slow down time while you’re in the middle of the air, another great advantage that the light bow has over other bows. Honestly I haven’t even found another bow and I don’t need to...unless it’s another light bow. 🤷🏾♂️😂

4) The quest objectives will have you talk to the King (which you wont be able to), then the Blacksmith, then you'll try to talk to the King again, but you wont be able to, and you'll get an objective to talk to Valka (the Seer).
5) Go STRAIGHT to the Seer.
Then you should be good.
This quest seems to bug out for those of us that went exploring and found the Seer before we were supposed to.
Hope I don’t hit this, cause I already spent 4 hours raiding and collecting around Norway.
Thanks for the info!
I did this and it didn't bug out thankfully.
The game is really bad at adapting to "alternate paths"; if you don't do something in a particular order, it gets stuck or confused.
For example, when doing the Beowulf quest, if you get to a certain point and kill a certain monster before the quest tells you to go there, the quest bugs out and you can't complete it.
Reloading your save game will trigger the quest completion, but still, rather obvious oversight by Ubi.
This game is so goddamn good. I have been hooked all day. Will most likely be hooked until credits roll
Charged Shot is a skill in the blue section of the skill tree (skill, not ability) that allows you to shoot two hunter arrows at once. A simple arrow does more damage than any other item in the game. It is 1000% the strongest ability (and acquirable thing overall) in the entire game. I’ve taken out lvl 400 bosses at lvl 50.
----
Other notable skills (again, skill tree not abilities) are Missile Reversal which is great to get ranged enemies that are far away in fortresses without needing to take time to actually shoot/attack them. You press it before a projectile hits you and you’ll throw it/shoot it back without having to aim. Instant kill.
---
Another invaluable skill is Breakfall which significantly lessens the fall damage Eivor takes. Unless you enjoy a dreadfully slow climb down the side of every vertical object, it’s something you should absolutely prioritize.
There are a couple other skills that allow you to retrieve arrows you’ve shot, loot arrows from archers, have the raven auto-loot things you shoot, and regain lost health when hitting enemies that I’ve enjoyed having. These are more quality-of-life, however, and I would still STRONGLY encourage going after the first three I mentioned as they are undoubtedly the most useful skills.
This video is a gold mine of information. Thank you, and I subscribe.
Didnt learn anything new but really enjoyed the video. You know what you're doing with the format. Nice.
by the way, it is actually not hard to raid the higher power level monasteries on normal mode as you can leave most of the work to your crew and work primarily on gaining wealth; when your crew dies you can repetitively revive them. hope this helped!
Yes, I raided a lvl 90 place while I was lvl 45
Ngl this guy has made the most in depth video on Valhalla that I’ve seen so far. Keep up the good work!
This video is awesome, you explained everything perfectly without spoiling anything. Kudos to you sir
This is one of the better videos I’ve watched as far as game tips. Impressive enough to comment on
I’m going to subscribe. RPG gamer and if your videos are still up to par with that one you’ll be getting views. Darn Valhalla has been buggy with me.
I just started playing it on PC. And controls feel AMAZING. Combat is SICK. I really thought it will not be challenging but on higher difficulty its great. Every strike you really feel like you hit him great game so far
Really enjoying this game. Didn’t think it would be as fun as it has been
Honestly my favorite assasins creed story since black flag, every mission is like a TV show episode that i love, the characters are amazing to so far .
@@clockworkNate making alliances is like a season of the show lmao
How violent is it? Because I haven’t got it yet?
@@sbsrandom223 Finishing moves and combat in general are pretty violent, but otherwise it's a ubisoft game so nothing feels super serious or dramatic
@@robinfroissart thanks i appreciate the reply.
I just watched this while the prologue played. Very handy. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Love the Valhalla vids quest mode. You got a new sub. Totally taught me way more than I had known on this game
Glad to hear it! And very glad to have your support 🙏
This game has gotten a bit of mixed reviews but I’m about 20 hours in now and I’m absolutely loving it. My biggest gripe with it is that the movement can be a bit clunky. There’s no reason why a character’s movement should be clunky in 2021 but aside from that, all the other little “problems” with it can easily be overlooked, at least for me. The storyline, the pacing and everything else are awesome!
This is the most helpful tip guide I've come across for this game. Thanks so much!
I actually found the "Man's best friend" ability somewhere before that sidequest with the kid. I find it crucial in getting critical stomp hits on tough to beat baddies.
Watching this made me feel better about my playing. I am getting semi frustrated with certain parts so thank you for doing this.
Idk if this is known or why it wasnt in this video but i haven't seen anyone comment on it but the perfect dodge "slow time" perk also instantly refills your stamina gauge. Makes for worrying about stamina a thing of the past
th-cam.com/video/WZB51NSYcEc/w-d-xo.html 😳😳😲🙌
I love all these intuitive videos that you make are incredible. I even watch your videos about games that I don't play and that I know I won't play ahaha. Stay up the good work and good luck with the rest of the chanel.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
@@QuestMode you deserve it :)
Thanks for the upload lad nicely done
7hrs in and absolutely loving it
I just bought AC Valhalla and I found this video both informative and fun so I subscribed for more content, thanks
They specifically fixed the level gating from the last two games in Valhalla, you just need to know how to navigate a higher level area efficiently.
yeah exactly i can easily do lvl 230 raids at 80 power
In stealth i assume
So nice, and the added rush of knowing that if an enemy in any of these areas even sneezes on you your fuckn dead
Why does everyone say odysseys level gating was bad? It was really easy, just time consuming
@@handoaleman9967 extremely time consuming, I’ve had it for years and it gets boring after a while every time I try to finish it. So far Valhalla seems much more smooth
Thanks for the tips man!
This was such an excellent video! Thank you for this! So excited to play this game tomorrow, and now I have the knowledge I need to be a better Viking!
Unlike all the other videos I've watched this is actually helpful info thanks!
Go full bear, get the skill to use two two-handed weapons at once, unleash hell.
Seriously can you use two spears. At once?
@@GovandMkarim yes
Full bear? What do you mean
@@bobfat5307 red skills
@@GovandMkarim appreciate it
tips is dont raid with your crew, your crew is weak, kill enemy by yourself and summon them for looting, with that you can raid higher power raid.
Thank you! Just waiting for my PS5 to arrive. I want to play this on the new generation first.
Been playing since Friday, received my Collector’s edition and was able to get a head start on it. Only thing I couldn’t redeem was the season pass and ultimate pack code for the digital additional content until launch. Which I’m ok with honestly there is sooooo much to do right off the back. For those anticipating the release hold strong it’ll be very well worth it ! The graphics are gorgeous even more so on the series X and PS5 respectively. I can imagine. I’m playing on the X and it runs smoothly.
When you do the quest where you can talk them down by half just a heads up doesn't matter what you pay you can successfully pickpocket all of your money back even with no stealth just after paying.
How do you pick pockets???????
This is the most useful and handy guides of ac valhalla in youtube. You deserve more subs than IGN..
I've played for over 200 hours and the only tip I'll give is DO WHATEVER YALL WANT you'll get used to the game and it's mechanism
This is the only truly helpful tips video, I’m 30 hours in and this was still very helpful, Thankyou
Guys btw the "dive of the valkyries" lets you open barred doors from the outside. Walk right against the door and do it
What?! Seriously? I’m going to have to give this a try. I had no idea 😭
Lies
Good video, I’m about 40 hrs in the game, and 2 mins into the video and I’m already learning new things
Thanks for revealing this game is different areas. I thought the game was going to be short and sweet.
Quick tip : you can actually steal your money back from tonna 😂🔥
I know it's been a while since you made this, but I want to say this is the best AC Valhalla tip video on TH-cam, and I've watched most of them!
Loved the moment when I talked the thief down went back and killed her
Got my 260gold back
Probably the best guide video for beginners,
Way of convaing knowledge is very simple
He doesn't overwhelm with too much knowledge
Ugh I wanna play so badly, but I'm definitely waiting to play it on my ps5. Just 3 more days
Blue skill tree is actually range with the wolf and yellow is assassination with the crow. so they are actually ass backwards, seeing how the wolf is the stealthy creature and the crow is a perfect fit for range.
th-cam.com/video/WZB51NSYcEc/w-d-xo.html 😳😳😲🙌🙌
Many reviewer trashing this game i was skeptical at first but im 4 hours in loving the game so far
Its always better to try something and make your own mind up.
The only complaint i have heard, is the dumbest complaint someone can have about a open world rpg game, imo. They claim its too long. It is about as stupid as telling your boss he/she is paying you too much $.
Most reviews sites and user reviews are super positive ign gave it a good review pc gamer gave it a 92 the consensus is it's an amazing game held back by bugs if you are like me and don't mind hugs it's a masterpiece. Some TH-cam reviews complain about length or slog but that seems super subjective I put over 100 hours in odyssey never got super bored or hit a bad level gate so maybe I'm biased but I think the new ac games are criminally underated. I have played every ac games except unity and liberation and so far valhalla is my favorite
@@Fidilisfool I have played the older games but not for a long time, so gave Odyssey a try, loved and got Origins and put many hours into both.
And now I'm really enjoying valhalla. A few little issues, here and there but that's to be expected so close to launch.
@@MrsGraphiteGal the old games were different and good in there own right but I am excited it changed directions. It would have been boring if it didn't shake things up.
While at first look it does appear the skill tree looks like what you are referring too but to be honest, it more points to what kind of gear you are going to be using. If you are concentrating on Raven gear, you should go yellow, Wolf goes blue and Bear Red. It is good to get some of the abilities from all 3 but there are some skill nodes that would be pointless to get if you are not wearing said gear. The one thing I miss REALLY bad is multiple bow slots so I dont have to keep going into my menu to change a bow out. I use the Predator for distance head shot damage, then when I get into a settlement, I will change to Hunter or Light depending on the enemies in question.
Lots of great advice with out any spoilers
Arrow to the knee always work lol
I used to be a guard in Norway. But then I took an arrow in the knee
Great collection of tips. Just started the game yesterday. Still getting the hang of it but having fun too. Thanks.
Ahah I'm 20 hours deep and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface aha
Essential Tip #1: Just play the game and have fun if possible. That simple.
Very helpful Thank you, I am only 1/3 of the way through at the moment .
Wow. The snow footprints look amazing!! I can’t wait!
Got nothing on RDR2
Tsushima could take some notes
@@paulogilvie6262 got that right
I see you playing as the female version of Eivor do you like her so far? I loved Kassandra in Odyssey it felt like the story was meant for her trying to get your brother back with your family.
Yeah. I really like her, and I also loved Kassandra. Eivor has a sense of humor, which I love, but it's very different from Kassandra's. Eivor's humor is much more dry. She's also just a good person (besides the mass murder that comes with being the star of an AC game). She genuinely cares about people, especially her brother. I'm sure the same could be said for male Eivor, but I'm gonna stick with Female Eivor.
@@QuestMode I’m loving my time with male Eivor.. he is the actor that plays Cnut in The Last Kingdom so once I learned that it was an obvious choice for me lol. Loving this game! Literally spent like 10 hours in the starter area before the prologue even rolled 🤣
Thank you!! I am so glad I found your video. I literally just started playing the game this afternoon. Still in the first island in the beginning.
I will start tomorrow after work, so excited.
ESSENTIAL TIPS = play game, try everything. Truly essential, lol.
yea these "tips" were rough, literally at one point " get this skill, where is it? shit i duuno" lol
Build the hunting hut first it unlocks missions the bakery has missions too .. the ac building is very important and the shop although there is a shop in every town/city too so it's not too essential but it's up there ... Once the river raid dock is built do raids to get supplies to build the Amory with gives you more gear build slots I have 1 for light assassin work (2 sax) 1 with light ammor with a 2 handed weapon and my every day type build for roaming around .. other than the map shop, roman place,and tattoo shop the rest are just for feast boost's
4:00 my favourite is dual grate swords cus funny swords go spin and also cus you have to think more into what you do and not just spam and run it’s how I learned how to get good at parry and dashs
I have played over 25 hours and still only completed 18% of the game.
Nice
I got bored of Odyssey... Same type of quests, looting everything (that you don't really need at some point) and attacking and killing people in forts. That's just it. A huge map that has the same stuff all over again doesn't sound appealing to me. Care to explain how its different in Valhalla?
Valhalla has a lot more variety in the quests in my opinion :). There is also more of an incentive to explore and find exciting new weapons and armour, as well as upgrading all of your gear since everything is more rare, and the visuals of your gear will look cooler over time as well.
@@timshaw1468 Ok thanks. Although the last part is the same in Odyssey ofcourse. But maybe I just had enough of AC kinda games. I played AC1 and only just Origins (that blew me away). After that it all feels a bit too much the same. Plus I always expect they get more out of the NPC's. The only thing that makes the NPC different is when they play music :) Would be way cooler if you had more interactions with NPC's besides the 'ow' if you walk against them.
Thank so much for showing me these tips. Recently, I had just finished Last of Us 2 for the third time and needed another game to get lost in.
First of all. Your content is great. Your voice is great. Your background music is absolutely amazing. Definitely subscribed!
For the buildings, the stable isn't needed because you can upgrade your horse at any stable away from Ravensthorpe
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!
th-cam.com/video/WZB51NSYcEc/w-d-xo.html 😲😲🙌🙌🙌
I really don't like it when characters start glowing in games.
Leave that to DragonBall and Ranma
there are a few exceptions, where it is immersing really good with the settings, but man, since Origins, the combat here is just lame
It’s not really happening tbh. It’s like eagle vision. Only you see it. No one else can.
Thank you for this, as well as adding time stamps so I can come back later for anything specific. I have a new sub 🙂
One ability I highly recommend is poisonous powder trap, one arrow can take out several enemies while you remain undetected
0:01 tip one play as a man I will now close video
Super helpful. Subbed.
Essential tip #1 DON'T buy this bugged, glitch filled game!
I've played 60+ hours and it's glitches once, I got stuck in the floor
This is the best video for tips on valhalla I've seen.
And it also boggles my mind how ubisoft ade so many minor flaws in telling you how the game works
There’s also this ability (I forgot the name of it) but it slows down time when you’re shooting arrows and I found out that it doesn’t consume normal arrows, so if you’re completely out of arrows then you can still use the ability, because the ability replenishes your arrows when you use it, combine this with a light bow and it is a deadly combination, and the slow motion of the ability is tied to your stamina, it’s not a “timed” slow motion sort of thing like in odyssey, so the more stamina you have the more arrows you’ll shoot, and if you run out of arrows because you haven’t upgraded the quiver it’ll keep replenishing your arrows until you run out of stamina. This is actually one of the best abilities in the entire game and I don’t see a lot of people mentioning it or eve. Using it in their videos. So much so to the point where I wasn’t even gonna mention it to anyone just because the devs might realize how powerful this ability is and nerf it. The headshots from your bow even stun people, then it gives you more time to hit enemy weakpoints allowing you to go in for the stun damage every time because time is slowed down for the enemies and yet you’re moving fast, so you’ll be done killed about 5-8 people just walking in a straight line just shooting arrows left and right and finally get to the boss and just do him wrong, I fought Rued with this ability and by the time my stamina was depleted rued was already on his knees and I just went over then and did the stun damage attack to finish him off. It works on all enemies. I forgot that you can jump off of walls or any high place really and hold down L2 or whatever the aiming button is on other systems and it’ll slow down time while you’re in the middle of the air, another great advantage that the light bow has over other bows. Honestly I haven’t even found another bow and I don’t need to...unless it’s another light bow. 🤷🏾♂️😂
Yeah that slow down bow shot skill is really handy especially when you jump off something and shoot from the air you can hit some really sick shots
Great AC Valhalla hints & tips. Last AC game I played was Black Flag, been really enjoying Valhalla!
This was amazingly helpful, thank you. I flailed around with this game for the first 30 hours or so... still picking up new tricks on the regular
I love this game its so good
I just love how brutal this AC really is
