Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018 game Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Set in 873 AD, the game recounts a fictional story of the Viking invasion of Britain. The player controls Eivor, a Viking raider who becomes embroiled in the conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order.[c]
The game is set to be released on November 10, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Stadia. A PlayStation 5 version is set to be released on November 12.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an open world action-adventure game, structured around several main story quests and numerous optional side missions. The player takes on the role of Eivor (/ˈeɪvɔːr/),[4] a Viking raider, as they lead their fellow Vikings against the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The player will have the choice of playing Eivor as either male (voiced by Magnus Bruun [da]) or female (voiced by Cecilie Stenspil [da])[5] and is able to customise Eivor's hair, warpaint, clothing, armor, and tattoos.[6] The variety of weapons available to the player has been expanded to include weapons such as flails and greatswords. Combat has been changed to allow dual wielding of almost any weapon, including shields,[7] and every piece of gear that the player collects is unique.[1] The Eagle Vision mechanic of previous titles will return in the form of "Odin Sight".[8] The player's companion animal will be a raven named Sýnin[9][10] (Old Norse for "insight")[11][d] who can be used to scout the nearby areas, much like previous avian companions had done in Origins and Odyssey, and other parts of the game world from afar before Eivor engages in combat.[12] There will be more focus on the stealth aspects for both traversing the game world and in combat. The "social stealth" concept from earlier Assassin's Creed games will return: Eivor can hide from enemies not only in stationary environmental objects, but can pull down their hood and slip into certain crowds to use them as cover. Eivor can feign death, use their raven to distract guards, and can access a hidden blade for near instantaneous assassinations. The game's key bosses will all, through specific combinations of approach, tactics, and weapon selection, be able to be assassinated through a single attack, but still can be defeated through numerous other routes.[13]
Valhalla will have a similar structure of main story missions and a number of optional side missions. While the main storyline in past Assassin's Creed games typically moved linearly through the main sections of the game world, Valhalla has the player often returning back to the main settlement and back to areas previously visited as information about the new areas of England are learned by the Vikings through reconnaissance or from contacts. Not all missions require violent ends, with some that can be resolved through diplomatic means.[14] Player choices through conversation or gameplay options will affect the characters and their political alliances with other non-player characters.[7] The game will rely less on a traditional leveling system and instead focus more on the selection of skills through skill trees selected by the player as Eivor advances through the game. The difficulty posed by enemies will be rated based on the player's collection of skills.[7]
The development team aimed to introduce a wider range of enemy archetypes to Valhalla than in previous Assassin's Creed titles as they wanted the player to be continually surprised by the game even after playing for tens of hours.[7] Enemy archetypes will have their own special abilities that they can use against the player.[7]

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 vid 👍
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!
Where did you get that short beard ?
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.
Haha I found that out when I need a one bar to open up the place under the waterfall
Sweet shame we cant download the old combat from the previous two games into this mash mash mash dodge mash mash mas dodge ability mash mash style
@@hectornajar5835 EaEaea!A
@@hectornajar5835 there was a red fire vase thingy right across from the waterfall pond lol
story missions give between 3400 to 6400 xp
world events always give 1200 xp
treasures give 450 xp
and artifacts give 180
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.
the devs did put work into this game, it’s just for the wrong fan base
I needed this, coming back to Valhalla aftering being so frustrated in Night City.
Actually I feel like night city was way better :/ not so much filler shit
I have done one playthrough in cyberpunk, now I will wait for all updates and fixes before I return in the meantime Valhalla awaits!!!
@@Arney0408 Labeling lack of content as a positive? Love your enthusiasm.
@@wildanS there is difference between content for the sake of keeping you busy with shitty filler. And well designed content.
@@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.
Even though I’ve finished the game I’m still watching this
You the real MVP (is this reference outdated? it's definitely outdated)
@@jayveeeee yes it is outdated maybe a couple of weeks ago would be cool
Same
Hey I'm not alone
@@jayveeeee LMAOO
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.
I cannot put this game down... ill be at work thinking about it lmao
Jus got it myself and i agree
Playing for a few hours now. I don't know why I didn't buy it earlier
How do you enjoy this grind fest?
@@tc_doug9782 same lol
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 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.
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
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
Which other ones did you watch
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.
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!!
Got over 100 hours on this game myself and I'm still learning things! Thanks!
This was actually the most informative helpful video I’ve watched about Valhalla. Thanks for the info
Just started Valhalla and love it! I just finished the Norway portion and am starting England. Thanks for the starter tips. Very useful!
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.
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
And also to mention the lore of the game exploring britain of that time is brilliant
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
Just got it today. I rarely research games but I wanted info on the skill tree.
Very nice with no spoilers. Appreciate...
tyvm for posting.
I got my copy today so this is PERFECT timing, THANK YOU🥰
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.
This was so helpful!!! I was honestly really struggling, and didn’t understand much of the game.
Thanks man.
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 😁
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 🙏💯
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
Nice profile pic
@@orphaneater5057 off course
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.
Loved it thanks so much for the tips, even though i am at level 35 i felt somewhat lost till i saw this guide, subscribed
Straight to the point, easy to understand and great tips.
Thank you!
This is the best summary I've seen of what you need to know before you start that game 👍👍
watching this and feeling highkey entertained even tho i completed literally everything with 140+ hours 😌🤚🏻
🙏
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 😭😂
@@theoutcast9215 we been at it for a lot longer
@@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 remember the first time I played I was complaining that I wasn’t getting any new gear not knowing you have to look for it 😆😭
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..👍❤️
this was one of the best starter guides I've ever seen. thank you!
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 💕💕💕
Waiting until I finish Odyssey but I can't wait to hop into this 🙏
Seems like they solve some things I currently don't like in Odyssey
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
@@mayorotter I will have to disagree there, both Origins and Odyssey story lines are much longer.
@@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.
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
As I'm typing this it is Christmas Eve. I get Valhalla tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT
Do you enjoy it?
@@kurtcobain5466 yea man
Thanks Jayvee for the video though I have finished the game but my brother is going to play it for the first time and this will help him a lot❤️
More than 1/2 thru and still enjoyed this, 👍🏽 Well Done.
I’m just starting the game and find this very helpful advice. Thanks!
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😅.
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
Just a couple of hours into this game found this a big help
Well explained about how to start the journey in this awsome game👍👍 good informative content interesting listening
i just started playing. this video is the most useful one ive found. ty!
Good video, useful information watched it twice now keep it up
That’s me three years after the video. Checking it out. Because it’s on game pass. And thank you. I always sort of waffle back-and-forth about watching too many videos when starting a massive game like this. That said I like this because it focuses on a bunch of stuff that really get your understanding but it’s just in the starter area and then 90% of the game all right you learned how to do it go for it. Anyway, great video. Thanks. I’m about 10 or 12 hours in and this may be the first assassin Creed game that I really play a lot of. I know that’s blasphemy but I’m liking this one so far
Great info and content man thanks for sharing !!!
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
Just bought it right now
Did you experienced a problem with saving progress? When you press continue
Very helpful tips. Thanks!
Just got this on sale ($15!). I plan on taking my time.
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.
about to start my first run thanks for the tips
I am from Denmark and i say it is a very good game, Thanks for the tips.
Thanks bro just the tips a was looking for
Im absolutely LOVING this game!
Very helpful. Thanks man
This helped me soo much
Thank you so much
This video has some helpful tips and is well spoken 👍😎
Just picked this game up for $40, quite pleased with it so far, I'm glad the shield is back!
449 hours later I finally reached %100 completion for EVERYTHING (DLC's and all)
That's dedication wow
That's amazing! I am also restarting the game.
Respect from a fan
Amazing video bro, I'm 22 hrs into the game and this help alot.
Thanks for the advice! ❤
I'm watching this a long time after beating the game but I said I was never going to replay the game and now I'm going to replay it and now I'm watching this to see if it will make the game easier at the start
I just got a new computer, so I haven't been able to play this game until now. @jayvee - Thanks for these tips... you have a new subscriber.
Great guide, I'm finally diving in and the upgrade system for loot was confusing me a bit as well as just the overall scope of everything. It's a bit overwhelming! Thanks!
I just got this game yesterday and had the same problem
I got this for Christmas and was really confused on what's the best way to become Odin so I really appreciate the video
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
Thank you Jackson!
Thanks for watching, Victor!
Thank you for the tips, I just finished Odyssey with 53 hours invested 🥵. I found Valhalla on sale and just started the story wondering if I should invest my time into side missions, so glad I found this video!
I did 120 hours lol
Buy Iron and Leather from traders at every settlement - up to 200 at a time on a one unit to one silver.
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
@@salvadorlloret-farina8767 Thanks buddy. That`s a big help. Muchos gracias.
Returning player here! Happy holidays lolol finally reinstalling almost a year later so I needed this
Great tips thank you
Thanks for the tip
Jayvee Your videos are great!
Very informative video, earned a sub sir
most usefull video for starters thx...
Thank you
Very well done!
Thanks a lot.
Sweet tips vid.
Gr8 really helpful thx
Great video, thanks
This game reminds me a lot of the Witcher 3. Takes me back a few years!
This game is so beautiful I have bought it on my PS5 and it’s really cool
I already 100% completed the game, i just like your content.
Stop simping
Yoo brilliant video mate!
Yeaaaah kinda had to get on that sale. We're all downloaded and ready to roll
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.
Love your channel and podcast. I'm curious, what are your top 5 favorite AC games?
Love your videos bro
Nice tip using the harpoon on zealots. I now just lure them to a high point and sling them off and it's over.
Thank you @jayvee
This really helped me through most of the game, great vid!
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.
Very helpful
nice video. the end reminds me at the waltons
To be honest, I haven’t played any AC games in my life. Started ACV a few days ago and I find it interesting. The map is gorgeous and huge, with tons of things to do. Its fun and enjoyable to play.
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
Fun fact; Ravensthorpe is a place in England and I live a town over from it lol
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!
