Hey Boomstick Gaming, I came up with my own Tip: If you need to take a break for a bit - mark a point in the river on the other side of the map and then hit the button to have your ship follow the river. It was a nice way to get a bunch of fast travel points randomly placed throughout the rivers of England and to discover bits of the map and what's nearby the shorelines. Makes it a bit less intimidating having less fog of war! Btw your ship auto-hugs the coastline when it's out on the eastern seaboard. Another tip for when you're afk: Set your bird in a direction you haven't explored and let it fly while you're afk. :) Both are good for getting an idea of where things are at!
Lazy method for catching flying paper: trigger the chase, then follow it with your eagle and tag the final spot it pauses at. Then when it resets, start the chase again but just go directly to the end and wait for it to come to you. It might not work for everything, especialy if it rests somewhere with a significant climb, but so far it hasn't failed me for the first half-dozen or so I've collected.
Handy in a raid on a roof with a torch to light arrows but just picking off guards stealthy like a headshot with a hunter bow is usually enough or use double arrow perk
I wanted to comment on this, you fundamentally changed the way I play the game. I'd been loving the game with 2 axes, having fun, but you showed me I was basically a baby. Now I'm dual wielding spear/dagger, doing rolling takedowns with my bow, destroying content 200+ over my head, and having an insane blast. Thanks for this video, every single tip was revolutionary for me.
Double hunter arrow perk really great for elite enemies on one shot kill. Light bow perk are great for more damage and more shots at once too but receptor bow seems a bit too clunky unless in stealth to pick off guards but great as you ccs. Easily change bows in the menu options at any time
I much prefer this kinda video that comes out pre release, that are actually useful compared to the guys uploading full playthrough stuff, before the rest of us are even able to touch it. Thank you broomstick for this video, it was very useful and I'm really hyped for the game even more now!
@@YeOldeMachina I will typically watch playthroughs of a game I either don't want to play myself, of a game I have already played.

Cowboy has a huge following that love his walkthroughs and playthroughs. I dont get it either. Takes all the excitement and discovery out. The worst is when I accidentally catch a spoiler. Im borderline OCD about spoilers
So far this is the most useful video I have seen for tips for AC Valhalla. Not like others videos telling to push forward on the stick to make my character walk.
Im from Africa Namibia, things are tough here and cant find much work, cant really afford this game. (big fan of the AC series) but i just really needed to see something awesome for the day and it is this video. love this out of the box gameplay. im subscribing. really cool man. hopefully one day i can buy the game and do all this. the dagger, two handed sword combo looks awesome.looking forward to the next video

Hey this was a great vid! Most of the time these kinda videos are "did you know you can attack the enemy by hitting the attack button?" and this actually taught me some stuff I didn't already know so good on ya
Great tips. I will make sure I keep my trusty multi tool torch close by. That tip is a life saver I would say especially that I did not notice that I could break the ice under some guards. Thx a lot
I found all of your tips helpful but your advice on clearing the map efficiently and using the bow effectively particularly illuminating. Ranged combat was my favorite in Origins and it looks even more satisfying in Valhalla.
those are some sweet tips. this was the most useful video i've seen on AC:V. One move i learned from a different video is if your are jumping from high up, you can spam the heavy attack and negate all fall damage if done right.
Best and only video of Valhalla so far that actually gives advice, tips, and goals without fluffing up with random "hey guys Im playing so and so, and here's me talking about playing without actually playing for 5 minutes".
People kept recommending dual wield heavy in these type of videos and I wasn't really interested bc it's been done a lot but I saw the dual wield spears in your video. That's unique

The only problem with the ship tip, is that there are some guard stations that have chains, so you can't travel through there, and there are also some river bandits which have placed fences in the water, so you are stopped and they can shoot you from the shore, but this is also a really good tip, and I will definitely use it, thank you.
I'm an OG Assassins Creed gamer and couldn't really get into the few latest releases. But Vahalla has so much content that it's worth every penny. Ubisoft is finally getting it right again. Only 8 hrs in so far, but great tips to look out for.
Haven't watched the video yet but i just want to say that your gameplay tip videos are really appreciated. I can't wait for you to dive in Godfall. Looks like that game has alot of depth. We'll see...
Thank you, i have watched alot of tips and tricks vids for this game pretty much all of them just repeating the same stuff that is all basic common tips but this one has been by far the best and new tips that are definitely out of the box tricks. Nicely done and thnx again. Cheers!
just found your channel your amazing bro . You actually appreciate the core mechanics that makes the game extra entertaining and realistic/fun in general . I really appreciate the time and thought process put in this vid !
I got a pro-tip. (This is the first video I’ve seen, so I don’t know if it was covered already) I have a hard time finding oil pots for breakable walls, so if you’ve just killed a bunch of enemies, set an explosive trap on a body, place the body next to the breakable wall, and attack the body to make the body explode. (A heavy, double 2-handed axe attack works perfect) Hope it helps
I feel like they have gave us every kind of play style wanna be the green arrow those evasive bow slows into weak spots into stun bow finishers... leap from the sky slow motion bow shots crazy!! Double daggers to duel wielding two handlers to two shields!!! I can’t wait to play this game!!
I love these advanced gameplay tips videos! It's so cool seeing unique mechanics developers have placed into games that enhance player freedom and overall fun factor
When jumping off a high building or area you can keep tapping heavy attacks and it will pull you into a heavy attacking slamming weapons in ground negating fall damage
The best combo I love is using two axes and not just any two one of them is the "Housecarl and Varin" houseCarl increases damage up to 10 times while the Varin increases speed up to 10 times"
ok I never thought u can actually fight with two shields. That was amazing 🤩 Thanks god Im taking my time with this game and I didn't finish it yet. Thank you very much man ❤️
Thought this might be worth mentioning for early on in the game, unlocking the weapon harpoon skill makes it really nice to help clear out enemies especially if getting overwhelmed by the numbers, just need to find weapons on the ground and push the active button for it and bam, really useful once you have taken down 4-5 peeps and still have alot coming at you cause already have all the weapons laying around from the ones you have already defeated.
These tips make more sense too me as I have already played Origins and Odyssey, most of the mechanics are very similar. In this video the tips specifically based for Valhalla. Kudos !

Those bother me too! I'm a core gamer who's got your back!

going to try this. This is by far the most annoying thing in the game!
I would try it but the flying paper is mostly so that you can immerse in the parkour route created by the devs and get a reward at the end.
Or just use that ability that slows time down and literally walk up to them
That torch lighting up the arrows is straight up mind blowing
guess you dont play good games a lot
Reminds me of Zelda
I’m pretty sure the game tells you how to do it the first time you use a torch lol
Handy in a raid on a roof with a torch to light arrows but just picking off guards stealthy like a headshot with a hunter bow is usually enough or use double arrow perk
"To make sure you youre inflicting the most terror on these poor little settlements"
This is why I watch Boomstick.
They are all just minding their own business and you come along burning everything. Vikings were a**holes.
Then they take all the men as slaves, and put little viking babies in all the women. Alpha males.
@@YeOldeMachina Mega Chads
can't eban kill civs
@@BoomstickGaming Well... no. We also had a sweet side ;)
You can throw your torch to lure enemies to a specific location (e.g away). It's an old trick but I'm pretty sure many do not know about that.
I love the AC series and just learned I can do this. So....thanks!
Or leave body trail 😂
