I've been having difficulty with the social stealth. Always getting caught even when I'm just walking normally. Definitely gonna be using some of these. Except guaranteed assassinations. I like the QTE it adds and gives me a little bit of satisfaction when I pull it off
@@masterassassin791 Have you already tried to at least not play with guaranteed assassination. Not only is it not what the game developers wanted for the game but it is not realistic at all. So, without the guaranteed assassination, you still one shot a lot of enemies, those with bigger armor can still be one shot it you have a certain skill that let you do a precision minigame that if you miss, your character will not aim for the vital point and the hidden Blade just makes that strong enemy bleed but since his armor was too thick, Eivor missed his shot.
I’d also recommend using Thorn of Slumber level 2. Hit the ground beside enemies to guarantee that they fall asleep. Another good ability is Raven Distraction. Sending Synin after guards effectively disables their AI and lets you rush them down for an assassination or just run right past them. A very powerful combo is ranged poison strike + miasma. You can use this to stealth clear the insides of buildings in raids that you can only force your way into by shooting through barred windows. Incendiary Powder Trap is also very strong, and allows you to basically instakill groups of weaker guards. Another two skills that I would consider essential are Emergency Aim and Bow Stun Finisher. Bow Stun Finisher is useful for finishing off enemies when their stun bar has been drained by a trapped corpse. Another tactic that can be very useful is that as long as the location you’re at can’t be raided, you can always blow your horn to draw all nearby enemies to your location. Blow the horn, run away, get to your objective, leave. Overall, I’m not a big fan of the stealth in this game anymore. The game has gone out of its way to specifically discourage aggressive stealth, which is a shame because any serious stealth game supports that playstyle. However, if you are gonna be playing this game, these tips will help you out.
@@masterassassin791 I’m hoping that they change the detection rates, those have been my biggest source of frustration up to this point. Another thing that will be a game changer is what kinds of new skills and abilities come with the DLCs, because we know that it’ll happen. Until that point, I’m kinda done with Valhalla, lol.
Using the horn as a distraction is something I’ve never thought of. I used it for shits and giggles if I wasn’t anonymous and needed the guys to come to me so I could sync another viewpoint.
Some of the stealth, especially in this series, is either really good, or insanely bad. I wouldn't say that the stealth is inherently terrible, it has its flaws and the instant detection is absolutely absurd. It may not particularly be a great stealth game, but I find it to be extremely rewarding when you can pull extremely badass stealth techniques off. It's kind of like a risk/reward thing.... even though the reward is that satisfaction of being stealthy. I still don't really think that it's a good system. Then again, I've played a lot worse games with terrible stealth.
Yea I saw the setting to make assassinations guaranteed and I immediately turned it on before I been started the game. Why shouldn’t I one shot assassinate people in an AC game?
Instant Detection by archers is so infuriating, thanks for this. It still sucks when someone spots me from so far away my odin vision didn't catch them and I get immediately shoved into combat.
Torches are excellent lures in general. Guards are stupid and will burn themselves on them, so sometimes you don't even have to follow up with any sort of attack
After several play sessions denying me that Valhalla's stealth system is nil or almost non-existent, I discovered certain things that, used in the right situation, can help to go unnoticed and without losing the style. Did you know you could get easy silent kills by using the hook? its quite cool tho. Also the sleep darts come in handy when trying to get rid of two or more guards.
found and subbed you only minutes ago, great breakdown vids my guy! most valhalla vids are just How to get-vids and clickbait with only lame predictions, yours are technical and interesting, keep it up
I really enjoy this game and really always try to do my best to clear out camps in a stealthy way, the only problem is the guards spot me a really easy and from pretty far don’t know if I’m just bad or if it’s stats related
If the double blade didn't exist before Altair, they could have at least gave eivor a knife or dagger on the other hand for that double assassination, and then throwing the axe as an option after. I'm PRAYING they will do that as an update!
They have a better chance of doing it for a DLC. That would be nice though because there are a lot of times when a double assassination seems necessary but there's really no way to pull it off most of the time
They should get rid of the axe but add the double assassination. The Axe takes away a lot from the pure stealth gameplay but the knife could make it even more interesting
I might be in the minority but I actually like using Advanced Assassinations. I tried playing with guaranteed assassinations on and I found it way too easy.
Why ppl keep fucking around that stealth is broken in Valhalla? Like how broken? I dont have any problem clearing whole outposts and camps on Master Assassin without breaking immersion and random guard spotting me with thermal-sight? Yeah, you gotta put some effort into it, it works and looks clean as fuck.
Getting back into this game in 2024 for a stealth play through and while the enemies AI isn’t perfect it’s doable it just requires more patience than previous games. Getting to Ireland asap to get the smoke arrows to compliment the build makes it so much fun.
Master assassin, good point sir, we have to be patient, slow, tatical, otherwise we will not have fun playing steatlh mode.. Once we r master in stealth, we will not choose any games like gow, uncharted, etc .. that's why I own steatlh games like far cry series,got, sniper elite, sekiro, assassin creed series,splinter cell,mgs5, gr wildlands, breakpoint, lou2 , dishonoured series.. I don't know I can not play adventure games.. may be I love steatlh games .... I hope more steatlh games should be developed in upcoming years....
Very helpful, thanks. Recent AC games seem to be more about combat and less about stealth. This video explained the AC Valhalla has more stealth than I thought.
I'm really not the best at assassination, the game tries to tell me I'm in a distrusted area but all that does is let me know I'm about to murder about a dozen guards. Besides the odd person screaming I'm free to go about my activities then, though in saying that, I have cleared out entire garrisons with my predator bow. Most times for me, the ole guns blazing method is just fun and addictive haha. Thanks for the video, can't wait to hear what you think of Cyberpunk.
When some people say social stealth in this game wasn’t useful I think it is useful because in major cities or enemies camps I had to use it to get to the objective without being detected
For assination hidden ones but it dosent matter after you get advanced assisiation skill and the mentor is the best in the game and its the best looking for stealth
One thing on consoles that I can’t stand is how there’s no toggle walk/run. Ever since origins.. it’s so cumbersome to have to slightly tilt the analog stick the whole time in order to walk. They need a walk button Atleast, like in FF15
The thing people don't understand is that ac valhalla doesn't hold your hand like the other games does. Ac valhalla teaches you how to be a real assassin. Quiet, very patient, and focus. One wrong move and you'll be seen. It gives you the objective, now it's up to you on how you want to complete it. The stealth isn't bad, it's just people lack the skills
@@masterassassin791 It just feels so unrealistic with it glowing and everything. It is definatley not something that a viking would wear back then. Iprefer the more realistic armours.
Sup man is it possible to make a stealth + heavy weapon build i just like the idea of running around hiding and when the sht hits the fan going gigachad on them
I wish stealth wasn’t such a disliked way of playing these types of games. People say there’s no challenge in just oneshotting everyone, but there is a lot more thinking and planning in being stealthy rather than just spamming the attack and dodge buttons.
Do not use sunin, do not use odin sight, do not use the enemy proximity HUD. Make yourself weak in melee so you are forced to really be careful and go stealthy
You’ll see them just randomly stumbling around the city, hold Y or E on Pc to lure them and then again to have them cause a distraction that will lure guards to them.
Guaranteed Assassination doesn't work on the 'Red Skulled' enemies in the higher areas. I'm PL 158-160 and have found that if you go to the higher difficultly areas to roam around and try to kill soldiers, it will bring up the 'mini game' to assassinate an enemy in one strike.
Is there any ending in Valhalla when the credits roll= when it's officially over? I did all of the main quests, Asgard & Jotunheim. I haven't done all of the animus anomalies or killed all of the Order. Just feel unfinished as the credits haven't rolled. Just curious.
I've taken a break from AC Valhalla right now as I'm enjoying playing Cyberpunk 2077 and exploring in Night City, but I will definitely be coming back to Valhalla. I like it more than Odyssey. Probably the best of the recent 3 in terms of game play but not sure how the story unfolds yet. So far Origins has my favorite protagonist out of the last 3 with Bayek. It will be interesting to see how Eivor's tale unfolds.
@@oni1608 Odyssey was very cool with the overall balance and the way gear and stats mattered in creating a playstyle or build. Valhalla stats don't matter you can do anything all the time. Also, Odyssey still felt to me very connected to the lore because of the isu stuff and the mercenary having a bloodline connection to Aya but Evior is like yeah 2 hidden ones live with me and said to kill these people so I do. And I don't really care or ask any questions.
So as of right now, my setting is at guaranteed assassination, but it's only making me do the advanced assassinations on every1, even lvl 20s and my power is at 71. Do u know how to fix that or is it just 1 of those things that need to be patched?????
I need help in something, I have guaranteed assassination on and it was working until I finished the game, I have it on but it doesn’t work. I have to do the mini game so I could assassinate in 1 shot. I need my guaranteed assassination back.

Agreed.
I don’t think honestly they just kept that detail from the earlier ac games
I got used to the stealth in seconds. Guess i just make my own luck
Yeah that's not wrong it's fun to assassinate people without the thought of not earning it but this is only my opinion so no hate please

That heavy assassination is kinda cool too, like you can assassinate those "mighty crusaders" that carry banners, or such.

Great info
Nice video. It’s sucks that the stealth in this game is broken. Hope Ubi fix it soon
So I honestly kind of miss the spear. Those kills were so much more brutal than the hidden blade.
