6:33 cracks me up - look at that arm fly 😂
So refreshing to hear someone enjoy the massive world. I just began playing my 3rd playthrough after about a year break and love gigantic games, there's just so much to do. I'm sick of watching reviews where whiners complain about a game being too large. Listen, if want to do reviews and create content then sure, you'll have to move on to other games, but if you're someone like me who doesn't buy every single game out there then you'll want your games to be large to get your money's worth and enjoy the ones you do buy by not blowing through them in 15 hours.
Valhalla gets ALOT of hate as it isn't like the original Assassin's Creed games. It is however a great RPG with some Assassin's Creed elements, and I love it! I've put over 400 hours into this game, but only like 15 in Battlefield 2042 and COD. Well worth it!
My thoughts exactly and I'm more of a cod/GTA but those get old since I've played almost every game in both games I like the refresh to assassin's Creed with the huge world
You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck!
@@IronsideGeorge true
I love odyssey and Valhalla. I’m about to buy origins
greatest tip I got was that the incendiary powder trap ability is able to destroy weak stone walls where you normally need exploding oil jars for, makes exploring and getting some collectibles a lot easier
That’s a great one too - I should have included it! 😁
Thank you
There's actually a few places that don't have oil jars nearby so it's either use the powder trap or walk extremely far with an oil jar
Nice guide. I play on the hardest difficulty and I strongly recommend only upgrade rations and quiver when you are out, since upgrading them will refill to max. You can do it mid fight if need be.
Thanks Lars appreciated - that is also a really great tip for new players ✌️
Just 2 small critiques: It is a waste to build the Stables in your settlement. There's one in Repton & if you follow your brother North as your 1st mission, you get all Horse's skills from there. The 3 st buildings should be: 1) Blacksmith (mandatory anyway) 2) Barracks, so you can get warriors to do raids from the start 3) Assassin's house, so you can get started with assassinating members of the Order.
I find it easier to finish Norway before getting to England as you're higher level from the start & you can kill the Drengr (Erik Loyalskull) in Norway to get the 2nd best spear in the game: Fafnir’s Fang before going to England. He's high level and hard to beat, so keep him for last, right before leaving Norway.
You know it’s actually really funny you say that because I initially did have that tip in the video, but in the end decided not to pop it in there as the sentence flowed better. Should have mentioned the barracks though - so much information to get in it slipped the net! ✌️
Fafnirs Fang was one of the first weapons i found but I was too impatient to get to England before exploring all of Norway 😛
@@IronsideGeorge Hey, good video. I mean all roads lead to Valhalla in the end...Loll! 😛
@@Juicexlx haha thanks buddy - all roads do indeed lead to Valhalla, just make sure you have a weapon to hand 🤓
You can turn the assassination so you kill them in one blow. In the settings, Some may see it as cheating but its not it's what the games about. Plus if you stab someone in right place like they would die anyway which you do stab them in those points but it's not a.instant death. So turn it off so it is.
That's funny! I took the quest where you rescue the three advisors and was riding full speed with a passenger on my horse thinking we would just cross the river... Nope! Now I learn in this video that there is an upgrade for crossing water whilst riding.
Haha - you live and learn!
Good tips in general. I used to think that double spears are the best. Actually, there are other options much stronger for other playstyles. If instead of parry, you like to dodge...just equipe 2 daggers and watch for yourself what happens....I've bought a couple of spears at the store and got the otthers of the game...and just out of being bored, tried double daggers. There is nothing to compare. YOU JUST STAB THE HELL OUT OF PARALISED ENEMIES. The damage output and frequency of attacks is just out of this world. But use Yngling Seax as main weapon and Kopis at the other and Mentor Set and viper bow. It's just 3 x times stronger than double spears IF you like to dodge. Weight around 50 make you able to perform 8 dodges in a roll even. IF you like parry, double spears and you don't need to move that much, specially for L, L, H combo or parry -> H and it's stronger than double daggers. Again, depends on playstyle, this game is balanced and there are many playstyles, much more than Odyssey. Funny thing, I wasn't going to play valhalla because of people in general taling bad about the combat system...it's amazing how people can say dumb shit, valhalla combat system is awesome. Balanced, diversified, there are many strategies, the pace is optimal (at least for me, as games are different to every different person who plays it). I love Odyssey, but truth be told, if you just equip a bighorn bow, or just use the +200% all damages ostraka, or anything like that, and the game is broken at level 15. Not in Valhalla. There are people using double shields in this game! I think that is cool.
Thanks dude! I’d still say dual spears are top tier, but you’re right about the combat it’s really diverse. You’d should try a bearded axe in the right hand and a short sword in the left, makes for a really fun combo. I have used double shields before, it’s not the easiest! 😂
3:59 thank you so much for making this videos , they’re so helpful … I want to ask you which sword are you using on the time i tagged??
Fantastic stuff.. Cheers
fantastic video. wish I'd known these before I started!
Cheers dude! Appreciate the love ❤️
Appreciate you man. Great video. Very informative🤝
Thanks Joseph really appreciate 💪
Finished the game for the first time yesterday but wanted to take a look at the video anyways. Really well made!
I almost never parried, just dodged at the last second for slow-mo and free hits or shoot the weakness.
Thanks dude! And I always preferred to parry and try not to dodge, whatever works! 😊
Really well put together dude! :D
Thank you dude! You’ve been a supporter since around the beginning and it is hugely appreciated ❤️
Thanks! 😊
Just started the game for the first time. Thanks for the video
No worries Josh! ✌️
Valhalla and Odyssey are 2 best AC games, idk what anyone says. You just need to stop taking it as an AC game and completely forget bout assassins. They are amazing historical fantasy games, easily can compete with games like Witcher or Skyrim
I would 100% agree they can compete with Witcher/Skyrim - I think for most people though, they don't see these as AC games because of the lack of stealth and lore. Still great games though!
George with another great video 👏👏
Appreciate the support Rahul! ✌️
Good video, I’m definitely gonna check out your others and subbed. Man I love this game I just got it on sale with all the dlc for $34.00 dollars. The only thing I wish they’d do different is get rid of the whole animus junk, it’d be awesome just to focus on the hidden ones and just play as their story arc while in the fraternity. I don’t care about any of the out of the animus characters or what they’re doin lol. I just want historical badasses in cool era’s of time.
Thanks bud that's really appreciated. $34 dollars with all the DLC's is an amazing offer, that's like 100 hours of just straight up story without even doing anything else. I also agree, I'm not fussed about the animus either, although in the early games it was a way cooler part of the whole story.
Good video man. Are you making a video for the new free mode?
Thanks buddy - and that is very likely! Perhaps focusing on more of the gameplay aspect of things. Let’s see what it’s like come Tuesday 😁
Wow your videos are beautifully made and the music is just right!
Stop it 😘
What’s the music?

Great vid
Thanks Matt 🙌
Lots of great starting tips in here! Usually I just go straight into the game without giving much thought to all the stuff that makes me stronger.. until it’s too late and I can’t beat that boss 😆
Thanks dude! I do too; maybe I’ll learn from my own mistakes but probably not 🤷♂️
@@IronsideGeorge Probably not haha, nice vid though man 😎
HI i know im late but thanks for the information u get ur self another subscriber ❤😊
Thanks dude! 🤙
I play with a speer in the main hand and mjöllnir in the other hand, try it out if yoz already have mjöllnir, it's so much fun :D
Honestly, I like a spear and hammer but with the hammer in my main hand! Means I can finish them off with one quick poke of the spear and use the hammer to batter them around. If you have Gungnir and Mjolnir it's a great combo!
Tbh, I already knew all of this in the first few hours, and honestly I don’t like spears, I have Excalibur one of the greatest weapons and the hero’s sword so for me is a great combination.
Yes sir i love long games
To add to the charisma there is at least one world event that requires you to be at least level 2 it's a short quest you will definitely come across since in the main story when trying to find a rat who betrayed one of the people you are to make an alliance with I won't go into many details because spoilers but when you investigate the longhouse tunnel and follow the yellow paint there will be a farmer with a rat problem kinda funny while looking for a rat you find more rats lol but you just have to talk to a cat lady nearby who will have one dialog option and is locked behind level 2 charisma. Haven't seen any other cases where you require a charisma level but I assume if there is one there will be another with a higher skill requirement
Brush with death and heavy dual wield. Most important skills to get, especially the first one, so go for those if you’re new…. And, spears are really not “by far the strongest weapons”.. great swords do a lot more damage than spears. Dual great swords, like the Excalibur with the Surtr sword with all critical runes absolutely annihilates. Dual 1H swords wrecks too. The katanas are great. Multiple others. It has the best special attack out of any of the weapons. Just equip 2 1H swords and hold R1 and watch the bodies drop. Also, yes, the helix store items are worth it. But either way, go after the Thegn suit as early as possible. By far the best suit in the game early on. It’s one of the best suits in the game period let alone at the beginning.
Thanks for sharing bud - you cannot change my mind that dual spears are the strongest weapons though 😛
Bought it when it came out only just started paying it a few weeks ago i like it
Best AC ever im still playing i have to say if you max our difficulty iv spen 206 hours and power level is only at 350 this game is brutal hard if you max out difficulty from day one
Hey, I need help regarding a very minor thing. In my game, brigid is nowhere to be seen, she's not at the blacksmith nor the glowcestre. any possible way to fix that?
Just responding on your other post 😊
Assassin's creed valhalla reminds me of skyline
5:32 SIN-tHI-AU WE DIED OF OUR SIN-tHi-UHHS🎉😂
Haha glad you enjoyed that 😛
nice 1, i have a question what is the difference or is it worth it to buy lets say the gold edition or the deluxe one..etc
Yo dude - I reckon it depends on how much time you have to play, and ultimately how much you enjoy it! The main game itself is at least a solid 80 hours of storylines and quests, so I’d say grab a standard edition, and see how you get on 😊
@@IronsideGeorge i will, thank you
@@kaledyassin7159 let me know how you get on! 🤙
What’s up my man
Yo dude! 💪
You wanna know a game of assessing creephole reminds me of it and reminds me of skyrim Former
If you're like me and got the ultimate/gold edition. Start the Ireland dlc ~lvl 55 or as soon possible.
You get to start your own trading station which collects resources passively over time which can be sold for silver. This helps massively as silver is very hard to come by early on.
Get the skills Idunn's Heart & Grit asap. They make your Eivor extremely hard to kill and you can tank the freezing waters of Norway without fear of dying.
Spend the free 300 helix credits on the small resources pack and upgrade your rations or gear for early boost.
Go with the flow storywise since it'll take you to various places. I explored first only for the game to send me to places I already cleared thus wasting time.
Mop up afterwards places still unexplored and have fun 😁
Thanks for the suggestions dude! The Ireland one is awesome for those who have the ultimate version! 🤙
Thanks bro. Bought the game when I 1st bought the PS5 back in Oct 2020 & it’s still in the packaging.
Haha 2 years later and you’re finally giving it a go 😛
You van upgrade the places in your settlement?
Im 5 min in suppose to save my crew, omw there saw a little raised island with loot on it, ive tried for 35 min getting up to the top for the chest and everytime i glitch into ice cycles and have to reset....the games pretty crappy imo from 5 min in
???
Recenty ive completed odyssey, im waiting for mirage to preorder and i want to know if buying valhalla will be worth it?
I’d see how much it is at the moment, pretty sure it’s all on sale. Personally I’d say go for it! If you like RPG’s it’s fantastic but it’s not the strongest assassins creed game. Stealth is relatively pointless but the game and story is vast.
Yeah im also waiting for the xbox sales because thats when I bought odyssey so ill have to wait about another month
Thank you though
@@hiddensynin let me know how you get on when you eventually get it ✌️
I say go for it! Especially since it's on sale right now on Steam.
Loved Origins, wasn't keen on Odyssey, didn't touch Valhalla because the reviews made it seem like I wouldn't enjoy it.
So wrong. Just got it, about 20 hours in, really loving it so far. Well worth it!
I boupght and played this game when it first came out with in the first 3 months before any doc I clocked in 300 something hours then the data got corrupted somehow
What weapons do you wield at 5:51?
They're atgeirs - massive pikes that you can only get from the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC
That’s my real concern
❤ this game Valhalla
Much better experience playing Valhalla than Elden Ring. For my take anyway. But to each their own.
Really nice to hear such positive feedback mate, it gets a lot of hate for it not being like the old Assassins Creed, but it is a great game!
When it comes to flyting, I'm one of those toddlers, mainly because English isn't my native language.
That is totally understandable though. Is it worth looking at the language settings?
Can I get the swords when I’m still in the Champaign
Of course! You can drop in and out the campaign any time you want, it’ll always be waiting for you ✌️
Just wondering, why is it so impossible for the graphics to change when you changed the gender of character eivor especially when the seer runs into you and talks about killing your brother and yet it’s brother versus brother and yet what if you switch genders so shouldn’t be brother versus sister?
may i know what armor set is that at 8:13 ?
You know nothing Jon Snow😛
That is Hreidmar’s armour which you’ll get from the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC, the eyepatch is from the Odins All Father armour, also from the same
DLC ✌️
@@IronsideGeorge Thanks for replying man, great video, now i know haha
@@LordCommanderJonSnow haha thanks buddy 🤙
0:29 Norway is not Idyllic. It's cold, windy, rainy, isolated and fucking dark 19-24 hours of a day from the middle and up. Have you been there on a tour during summer? Well I lived there 21 years. The mountain weather is no fucking joke, mate.
Haha - I'd love to in real life. In AC Valhalla though... it's pretty freakin beautiful
Wolf should be stealth raven should be range makes more sense wolfs are very stealthy
Yeah I'd agree with that, Raven should be range but stealth should be something new altogether, maybe snake?
Dude, leather can be found practically everywhere, but fabric is the thing that's hard to gather...
I don't parry, I dodge and attak
That’s fine, but parrying is the way to go my friend!
عالی
Appreciated Matin!
I don't hate valhalla as an assassin creed games it's okay for me but if you were to remove the AC part and much how I feel about odyssey aswell they would be far better if they weren't made as assassin creed games but when I play it and don't think about how it's an ac game I do really enjoy valhalla
50 hours in and have no idea what is the main campaign mission
Is anyone here willing to share their accounts for valhala? I really wanna play the game after the recent trial but parents wont buy it!
Lol could you buy it over Christmas? 😂
learn how to pirate then
@@robosergTV i play on cloud and they dont allow pirated games
bloke! im leaving tongiht. lets grab drink! my treat!
Bro I wish we’d met up earlier! I’m working all day sadly. When are you heading to next?
I dont get why people say norway is so big.... I did everything in like maybe 4 hours
I reckon it would take most people between 6 and 10, espscially all the cut scenes
3 years after opening. The loading screen time is absolutely ridiculous!,,,, 2~5 min loading time!! Every time!
Yeah. Not only is the game's story long and game is filled to the brim with content but the loading screen is long as well. I kept shooting off arrows until it ended.
What console are you on? I’ve owned it twice, once on an old Xbox, and now on a PC. PC is literally 3 times quicker.
@@IronsideGeorge If you are replying to my comment, Xbox One still. Odyssey's loading screen is also long.
PS4🥹🥹🥹
Yeah… had it since 1st AC. came out
Number one should be : You will never be able to reach platinum since this game doesnt have an ending
It does have an ending? Platinum is an insane amount of time though!
From a new player:
1. "idyllic" doesn't mean "frozen hell" and Norway was done in like 1 and a half hours if you're following the story
2. upgrading buildings costs a lot of resources and I'm not sure how to get them
3. the skill tree is just the Sphere Grid from FFX with a Norse coat of paint
4. I just stick with the axe I started with because I understand the timing
5. Parrying is easier than in DS or TW3 but I don't think it's as essential as you say
6. Flyting was a real thing and predates slam poetry and freestyle rapping by a millenium and is definitely not a combination of the two.
7. Raiding is necessary in game but it's the most polite correct viking raid ever. I laughed my ass off at "killing civilians will cause desynchronization" (whatever that means). Definitely takes you out of the game if you've ever looked at a history book (to say nothing of the silly haircuts and armor).
8. I've made it like 30 hours in and haven't upgraded my rations. I still have 1.
9. No argument.
10. Stamina is restored by light attacks. Might be worth mentioning that.
10 to 15 hours in Norway😅 omg please it's just a wasteland.
Honestly just clicked this to confirm this game will be more of the same thing hours on. I'm not into it
Dont forget number 11. The game is incredibly boring and lacks gear progression
Who els has a reading level of a toddler
5:02 or just so happen to have been born in a non English speaking country (The overwhelming majority)!
Context: I was born and live in a country where English isn't the 1st language, luckily through watching movies and (Obviously) playing games, not only did I learn it, as I can pretty much "pick up my end of the couch" in a regular conversation, however I barely managed to get the timing down when flyting, mechanics that rely on people being relatively well versed in a specific language, are usually a problem most people tend not to worry about, for the simple fact that they don't need to!
Yo dude - it was a tongue in cheek comment. I’d suggest though, and you can do this in the options, to change the language to whatever you fancy. Obviously I am referring to whatever language you speak. If I was playing a game in Russian, and I speak English, of course I wouldn’t stand a chance 😂✌️
@@IronsideGeorge My comment wasn't supposed to be a counter to the point you were making in the video, I was trying to point out that sometimes, things that Superficially are "Good", can have certain aspects that can be negative in the core... or the other way around
I still think it was a great video, an that all your points stand!👍
I’m with you dude. Appreciate the comment and the support ❤️
Game is way too difficult for me. I had to stop😢
☹️ Have you looked at turning down the difficulty settings?
@@IronsideGeorge I found a video showing how to adjust the difficulty. This section is not available in my menu. A lot of people in the comments also said this option is not available in their menu either.
What are you playing on? Every version will have a difficulty setting. Keep looking, you'll find it 😊
@@IronsideGeorge It says Berserkr, but it's grayed out. It wont allow me to change it
I wish I was told just how really bad this game really is otherwise I would never have wasted money on it jokes on me obviously
That’s just like, your opinion man ✌️
@@IronsideGeorge like I said jokes on me and my opinion
@@tylerberryhill8029 lol the line I used was from the big lebowski if you’ve ever seen that. It’s all good man everyone likes different things! 🤓
@@IronsideGeorge at least no one peed on my rug
Literally, like every reviewer out there seems to talk bad about this game. I bought it anyway because I liked Odyssey, and it was on sale super cheap. Just started playing, so I'm still not sure if it's good or bad, but it seems okay so far.
1 thing I wish i knew before starting: I should just have played the witcher 3 again
Did you not like it at all? I just picked up the game with every DLC for 20 bucks and am hesitant to dive in because it looks massive. Any DLC content that should be skipped you think?
@@user-xt2rb3no5b If you already bought it, I think the best you can do is to play it and say it by yourself, I just think that the Witcher 3 is a much better game, and I say it because this one is clearly trying to implement many things that worked for the Witcher 3, but they can't match the writing and the world building, the characters back story, as someone who was hoping to play something that could match that (because that's what they were clearly trying to do) I was disappointed, but maybe if you play it with different expectations you might enjoy it
@@felipemotorhead thanks for replying. The Witcher 3 is a really good game. I didn't realize Ubisoft was trying to mimic it and definitely agree that they wouldn't be able to write a story at that level.
I mainly got it because I was interested in the Viking aspect of it. It looked great visually and was on sale. Not a huge gamer and figured it would be entertaining for a while. I guess if there isn't anything to specifically avoid I'll just drive in and go from there. Hopefully it's not as bad as people have said it is. Didn't even look up reviews until after purchasing. Oops... 😅
nobody cares what you wish you knew about anything. nobody.
1 thing I wish I knew before I bought this game is that it sucked.
Nope i use my axes two axes the best
3:59 thank you so much for making this videos , they’re so helpful … I want to ask you which sword are you using on the time i tagged??
Yo dude - appreciate the support. I’ve zoomed in at the sword you’re looking at, and I can’t tell! 😂 might be the St George’s Sword?
@@IronsideGeorge lmaoo thank youu anyway😂
