Going fishing to calm yourself while the village you just stomped to the ground is still burning 20 meters away from the pond. Never change, Ceolbert 😁

What does the snowflake like symbol thing mean? It's part of the mysteries collectables. I go there and it doesn't go away nor is there a clear thing on what to do.

Find the skull amulet and destroy it to finish the task. It can be anywhere - up a tree, below ground, but the eagle eye pulse will reveal it as a white line.

I killed another Zealot and one Daughter of Lerion, who was easier then the 3rd Zealot I had discovered. I haven't managed to kill that one. It's another pl 90 one, use similar abilities as the other two, but she seems to have more HP and harder to parry. Also, healing and poisons clouds. I watched a video to see if I was doing something wrong and the guy despite being overlevel still go trashed quite a bit, so I guess it's not just me. I have a super annoying control issue with bows when fighting bosses, something the (mouse) aiming is stuck as if target-lock-on was on but not on the boss. I hate target-lock-on. I did a couple of side quests at Ravensthorpe, reaching the 3rd ranks really opens things up. I got a wolf pet now and "created" the Saga of Beowulf.

Killed my first Zealot at power level 55. Dude was all side he sinned. Now I think I'm going to kill the other two pl 90 Zealots I discovered. Shield+Axe just works better than two-handed axe when it comes to blocking their normal attacks. As a lark I took one of those guys on yesterday but realised I'd get my ass handed to me but to my surprise I got him down to about 25% and then the bastard mitaculously healed his whole health but I was down to zero healing and half health. So brave Ser Robin ran away!!!!

Finished Ledecestrescire. There's just one lingering "Mystery" I can't seem to find on the map. Ivarr's quite the character, I can already guess how his story goes. I tried to be smart about the assaults - clearing enemies beforehand to make it easier. That made chasing down the Queen just a refreshing little jog. There were a few fun ones in there too - chasing the white rabbit, the swinging sisters, and "Chewie". There's one new enemy type that's a bit annoying - the big guy who grabs and throws you. He's not particularly dangerous, but it feels like you have to evade him before he gets within 10 ft of you, otherwise you're semi-stun-locked while he moves in to grab you. I'm a little over PL 100 now. Of the skills, I've gotten a lot of mileagae out of Adrenaline Upgrades, Grit, Adv. Assassination, Chain Assassination, Breakfall, Stomp, Brush w/ Death. Of the Abilities - Mark of Death has been the most essential. Since you get the upgrade early as well, you can clear hordes of enemies with this. Rush and Bash is fantastic for yeeting people off ledges. Thorn of Slumber is okay, but would be handier if it wasn't an ability. Dive of the Valkyries I use a fair bit for an unblockable attack. Incendiary Powder Trap is also good for clearing blocked walls if you're too lazy to find an explosive jug. I encountered one of those big guys yesterday as one of my first ventures in Ledestershire, was a bit of a shock!!!!! Got to remember to use my abilities more, forget they are there till i get in trouble like with the big guy. I have Mark of Death but forgot about it, throwing my axes is the one I use the most, have Thorn of Slumber no idea what it does haven't used it yet, the first one with a bow that IIRC shoots a cluster of arrows or at least the reticule shows a red circle of dots, used it once. The game is feeling less and less like an AC game to me. Assassination opportunities have been far and few between, just seems to be wade in with my axes which fels right for the game setting but its getting pretty monotonous.

There is definitely a problem with the bow in combat, I have had the same thing where it just freezes while you are trying to raise it to a higher level. I thought it was because I wasn't on level ground but it is damn annoying especially when hunting animals.

How do I get rid of other players photos? Apparently turning off photo mode doesn't get rid of them. I know holding down on the dpap gets rid of one (ps4), but doesn't get rid of all them. Isn't it usually an option on the map? I think in Odyssey it was when you are in the map you could toggle through icon settings, on PC it was TAB

There is a couple of broken UI elements in the game. Sometimes the ESC UI button doesn't work or does something different than clicking ESC on the keyboard. Yeah have encountered that one as well.

Is there a trick to Parry I cannot for the life of me time it right? Different enemies have different parry windows, but you generally have to press the button right before they hit you. The spearmen are hardest for me to read when they start an attack. I eat swordsmen for breakfast now with parries.

I encountered one of those big guys yesterday as one of my first ventures in Ledestershire, was a bit of a shock!!!!! Yeah, that guy can throw you a country mile. I'm not sure, but I think Breakfall might mitigate some of that damage. I've been thrown, but only for middling damage. I like to return the favor and yeet them of ledges. Got to remember to use my abilities more, forget they are there till i get in trouble like with the big guy. I have Mark of Death but forgot about it, throwing my axes is the one I use the most, have Thorn of Slumber no idea what it does haven't used it yet, the first one with a bow that IIRC shoots a cluster of arrows or at least the reticule shows a red circle of dots, used it once. Yeah - use that Mark of Death aka Multishot (and get the Adrenaline upgrades). It's the best ability I've seen so far. You can put away the throwing axes after that. Thorn of Slumber is your tranq arrow. Any non-boss will go down and you can assassinate them. I used it more early on than I do now. The game is feeling less and less like an AC game to me. Assassination opportunities have been far and few between, just seems to be wade in with my axes which fels right for the game setting but its getting pretty monotonous. Assassinations are definitely downplayed in the game. I still mix in assassinations myself when I clear areas and I don't want to raise a rukus, but archery really is the efficient choice in the game.

Same. I hope it's a known issue that will be fixed. Although I can't imagine how it got past testing. I feel a lot got past testing because the game was possibly rushed. It's by no means broken but it isn't as polished as past titles. Most likely in a couple months after some patching it'll get there. I've decided to back off and wait for this reason. I'd rather play the best version of the game they can offer. I am just surprised there were some game stopping issues right at the start. I got hit with the never ending load screen. I am not exactly sure how long it took, but I was away from my computer for 30min and during that time it started the game. The second issue I had was that if you have accessibility options turned out the gender select screen becomes a game breaking stop. So I had to Alt+F4 out of the game to figure out what was going on to fix it. I had to do that twice for apparently resetting options to default doesn't turn it off either. Maybe I am just in a fowl mood as well, since I had to download the game three times before it would actually launch too since I also had issues with the game constantly needing to repair.

I just jumped quick to Odyssey to see the Oikos shop. Damn, the game loads so much slower compared to ACV.
But the mount in Odyssey is pure joy to ride compared to the abomination in Valhalla.
And Odyssey definitely looks crisper on the texture front. ACV has some better lighting, but I think it's slightly worse looking overall.

I just did a level 250 raid "by error" (I'm like power level 70 now). I thought it was in Ledecestrescire (level 20), but the area border was in the river and the place was in Snotinghamscire (level 250). I had to try 3 times. I retried because I died to "surprise" rule the first time and then died near the "end" the second time. Got it the 3rd time. Also, I'm kinda annoyed we can't save in raids. They can be pretty long. The shield stun stat is my go to when fighting bosses. Just parry, parry, parry, some weak point shots and then stomp them when their stun bar depletes. Is there a trick to Parry I cannot for the life of me time it right? You need to parry/block right before their normal attack, so either golden flash or no warning attacks (when they lift their weapons). The red attacks have to be dodged. Some enemies have multi-attacks as their normal attacks, if you don't perfectly block the first one, they continue the multi-attack. On a perfect block, it stagger them a bit and stop the multi-attack. Blocking is easier with the shield, you have like larger window and it seems to cause less recoil. Spearmen are the most annoying. They can also hit multiple people in a row and hit hard. See comment about my "surprise rule" above. My first death was to a spearmen who made a keba of one of my crew and me standing behind that person. From my experience, the combat works better with patience. Sometimes I just wait there for an enemy to attack and then "parry -> stun -> R -> dead".

I am assuming it is hitting someone with a shield. Yeah I have "Breakfall" and assume like you that is why it didn't do too much damage. I will check out the mutli-shot Mark of Death, that would be handy. Yeah on forts and camps etc. there is usually opportunities but there haven't been too many of those yet. Hopefully more sooner but the emphasis seems to be on raids and that seems to eliminate the possibility of stealthing the place.

I thought it was because I wasn't on level ground but it is damn annoying especially when hunting animals. I keep having that issue, too. I thought I was doing something wrong. Yeah I thought it was something I was doing with the keyboard controls but I think the game gets confused if you are not standing on flat ground or some other feature like a rock is nearby. One thing I have noticed with the bow that is definitely me is if I go to use the bow after just using climb up function on a a rock or something if I am still holding the climp up button I have the same problem where the bow stops raising vertically. I thought maybe that was as I re-mapped that key.

Damn keep meaning to do that myself, what's Oikos got for sale this week? Totally agree with your comments about the look of Odyssey and Valhalla, Valhalla looks grainer and too me (maybe I am going crazy) but the scales of the NPC's seems smaller and less crisp as you say. When ther eis a horde of enemies in Odyssey like in a conquest battle I never had any problems identifying Kassandra and individual enemies, I often have trouble in Valhalla identifying which character (in a group of enemies) is Eivor and who I am attacking. Oh and they took away being able to skip through the start up advertising etc with Space Bar on PC. That makes logging into the game seem much longer to me.

I thought it was in Ledecestrescire (level 20), but the area border was in the river and the place was in Snotinghamscire (level 250). I had to try 3 times. I retried because I died to "surprise" rule the first time and then died near the "end" the second time. Got it the 3rd time. Also, I'm kinda annoyed we can't save in raids. They can be pretty long. Is there a trick to Parry I cannot for the life of me time it right? You need to parry/block right before their normal attack, so either golden flash or no warning attacks (when they lift their weapons). The red attacks have to be dodged. Some enemies have multi-attacks as their normal attacks, if you don't perfectly block the first one, they continue the multi-attack. On a perfect block, it stagger them a bit and stop the multi-attack. Blocking is easier with the shield, you have like larger window and it seems to cause less recoil. Spearmen are the most annoying. They can also hit multiple people in a row and hit hard. See comment about my "surprise rule" above. My first death was to a spearmen who made a keba of one of my crew and me standing behind that person. From my experience, the combat works better with patience. Sometimes I just wait there for an enemy to attack and then "parry -> stun -> R -> dead". I don't understand what is this "Surprise Rule"? Sorry if i am being dense.

I often have trouble in Valhalla identifying which character (in a group of enemies) is Eivor and who I am attacking. I have trouble, too. I am constantly using Odin's sight during raids and sieges to figure out who I'm supposed to be attacking.

I feel a lot got past testing because the game was possibly rushed. It's by no means broken but it isn't as polished as past titles. Most likely in a couple months after some patching it'll get there. I've decided to back off and wait for this reason. I'd rather play the best version of the game they can offer. I am just surprised there were some game stopping issues right at the start. I got hit with the never ending load screen. I am not exactly sure how long it took, but I was away from my computer for 30min and during that time it started the game. The second issue I had was that if you have accessibility options turned out the gender select screen becomes a game breaking stop. So I had to Alt+F4 out of the game to figure out what was going on to fix it. I had to do that twice for apparently resetting options to default doesn't turn it off either. Maybe I am just in a fowl mood as well, since I had to download the game three times before it would actually launch too since I also had issues with the game constantly needing to repair. I had a friend experience the game breaking gender choosing glitch. The fix is apparently to turn off Vsync or turn it and Anti-Aliasing to Adaptive. and to also make sure you have the screen set to Fullscreen and not Fullscreen Borderless. This didn't work for my friend though Sanunes what did you do to fix it?

I am constantly using Odin's sight during raids and sieges to figure out who I'm supposed to be attacking. LOL me too, it's a bit frustrating to have keep spamming that in combat. It is also useful when there is one enemy who decides not to engage and hide somewhere or who is stuck somewhere to find them. That has happened too many times.

What is this "Yeet" you all keep talking about? I am assuming it is hitting someone with a shield. Just means "throwing" them off a ledge/cliff using Rush & Bash. Yeah on forts and camps etc. there is usually opportunities but there haven't been too many of those yet. Hopefully more sooner but the emphasis seems to be on raids and that seems to eliminate the possibility of stealthing the place. As far as typical monestary raids go, I'll usually (but not always) clear them myself (using stealth/arrows), then blow the horn to get them to help me open the chests. One of the nice things about that is you can blow the horn then immediately try to open one of the big chests and it'll spawn one of your raiders next to you.
