Assassin's Creed Valhalla

So yesterday did Reda's daily quests and then changed my gear up as per Hrungr suggestion equipping the Fallen Hero armour set and using the Flaming Sword and as my off-hand weapon chose Verica's Sickle which has ignite the weapon after 3 kills as it's skill. But have swapped that out for the Modranhit Seax which Increases Critical chance after a kill.

The Flaming Sword is good but the ability it has to shoot an energy projectile at a target locked enemy I found to be really hit and miss in terms of enemies avoiding it.

The armour which has the ability to drop a bomb that does damage and knocks down enemies only worked once in six Raids which was impressive when it worked but I expected it to occur more often. The other stat's on the armour are good, Increase Armour, Melee Damage and Weapon Damage.

I also equipped the Balhrafn Bow and wont be changing it it is as Hrungr suggested great and looks good to. Every kill increases the damage of the next two arrows by 25% and I use the bow a lot of the raids so it was a killing machine.

Re the Raids themselves, they were a bit glitchy, I had a Jomsviking die and I had decided I just wasn't going to care but did revive 4 or 5 but when I returned to Ravensthorpe the game said I had three die which was incorrect.

During the raids I had several times that Arbalisters just had arrows go straight through them, one guy i put 5 straight through him to no effect. It was like the game was going no you must get shot by this guys!!!!!

I had one raid where a whole Monastery only coughed up Health Rations no Foreign supplies!!!!

Anyway it is boring but I need to grind to upgrade the armoury so will do some more today, will stick with the armour for a while and see how the bomb thing works out but I just hate how the pants part makes it look like she has hips and a backside that is huge.

Pic's







Will take some better ones today

Hrungr do you know where you get the Coil sword I don't have that but I do have one called The Ring Sword which increases Critical Damage when dodging.

I missed that re the armour and being hit, will try it out today.

Glad it's not just me with the Arbalist guys.

With the rune stacking I have at least three maybe 4 Critical Chance + 10 am is that too many stacked?

I just changed the armour look to Huldufolk as it's my favourite.

Here's a better shot of the Huldofolk, I use it with the cape and helmet hidden



Thanks for the rune info. will go through my number one set up the Einherjar/Niflheim one.

When I upgraded the armoury it ditched that set-up from the number 1 slot????

Are you having any issues with Photo Mode, after I use it ESC button doesn't work anymore???? Means I can't do a normal save etc. and have to exit using ALT F4

Lately, I've been wearing the Jormungandr chest piece.

The armor works different than other ones I have used.  It will always be overwriting the slot you have active without confirmations so if you are experimenting you would need to be on a different slot to prevent it from being changed.

I cannot think of the names and I cannot bother to turn on the game to check right now, but if I recall correctly in Suthsexe there is a fort on an island and a bridge to the south of it.  There is a zipline there.  Now I will just save before jumping and reload my save so I don't have to keep waiting for enemies to get near the rope.  I can verify the names when I do the daily quests in the morning.

Morning Edit:

Directions while I am looking at a map this time.  In Suthsexe just south of Lundon there is an encampment on Briggworth on an island in the middle Embert river.  To the south of Briggworth that is where you can find the bridge to attack from.

Fishing Tip!

I just heard about this, and it's a good one... if you have it.

The Khotan Hunter Bow. It generates a gust of wind effect on a hit (short cooldown) which is pretty useless against enemies, but is like dropping a small hand grenade when targeting groups of fish.

I went to Skegi's Beard first, then a couple of ponds, and damn... I wish I had this a few hundred hours ago.

Two minor downsides though.

One - You lose the arrow that you use this way. So, you're gonna run out of arrows eventually. Repton is a good place to replenish your arrows though, if you just run along the outer wall. Lots of quivers there.

Two - Your raven will only pick up the fish you hit with your arrow, not the ones caught in the explosion. Which means you're going for a swim afterward.

Hrungr I was at Skegi's yesterday to do some assassinating and also some spear fishing which sounds easier that the bow TBH.

I noticed yesterday that the Scrolls seem to be refreshing more often.

Did the bodies ever used to disappear in Valhalla?

I went to Bolinbroc castle yesterday and punched out over 40 assassinations with only one detection which was a bit of a farce as the guy saw me through a hill but he didn't have a chance to alert anyone due to an arrow in the head. It's a great place for multiple assassinations and is west and north a bit of Skegis, a short horse ride.

Since I have been playing again the controls seem to be be less fluid or maybe it's just me and Eivor seems to want to always want to go that extra bit of distance to climb on something or somewhere as if she wants to be spotted. If it isn't just me I wondered whether it is something to do with the Tombs of The Fallen as the controls were weird in there.

I will check if I have that bow and will check out Portcestre.

Re the controls glad it's not just me, must just be that I had a long time away from the game.

I have these drivers, but didn't know it was supposed to improve ACV, so I ran a benchmark today.

I have a 1080Ti & 1440p GSync monitor and I'm getting Avg. 69 | Min. 31 | Max. 146 fps on mostly ultra settings.

I'm trying to find a screenshot of an older benchmark to see how it compares. I don't think it's much different though.

I've been running across some strange "Avenge a Player" quests lately...

Three "duds" that didn't lead to anything...

Two that were straight-up invisible...



And one that wanted me to assassinate this dog.

(No.)



If you approached him from the front, it said "Pet".
If you approached him from behind, it said "Assassinate".
