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. 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. Spearmen's attacks going through to people aka you're not safe standing behind someone else they are attacking. Also, their reach is like 2 feet longer than their spear.

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. I was stumped when Eivor was on the rooftop and a Zealot was below her. I can't assassinate him. No option pop up. That's stupid.

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. With the raids Eivor blows the horn automatically for me so the troops rush in straight away. Should I not be choosing the "E" option and just stopping the boat somewhere else?

I thought I must have to hit some threshold or that it was an ability I had to acquire it occurs so infrequently. I am confused by some of the settings regarding options for combat and assassination as they don't come with descriptions maybe I have set something wrong.

Does enemies take fall damage when you use it? I used Rush&Bash on a Goliath, quite the long drop and then I seem him climbing a ladder to come back to me with the same health he had when I threw him off. Rushing people on walls works great thought. But right now, I want to get acquainted with the harpoon a bit more. I find the tree abilities more useful than the actives ones too. Sprint Attack is great.

With the CRIT build I was racking up heaps of one shot kills on mercenaries so maybe they wanted to circumvent that?

Yeah - don't hit "E" to start the raid, just park the boat nearby. Once you've cleared the area and you're ready, there is a key dedicated to your Horn. Then they'll come running to you.

I was in a similar situation where I was on a line above one, but I thought maybe I was too high up for an assassination. It would really suck if we can't shiv these guys at all.

Sprint Attack is great. Interesting, I haven't run into a problem damaging enemies yet. But I've only used it when there's a good, long drop. I haven't gotten to sprint attack yet, good to know it's better than it sounded.

The skill just increased the chances of killing medium rated mobs with a stupid QT. Even if they don't want players to one-shot them, it should still be possible to inflict damage. We have seen it happen in ACOD and other AC. Not able to assassinate zealots is outright stupidity. I could be getting it wrong but we'll need a solid confirmation it's not possible.

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. 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 had both Oikos items already, so didn't check close, but it's a ship cosmetic and a gear piece I think. Btw, you can disable the intros. First thing I did when I saw they are unskippable. Go to where you installed the game. Folder should be Assassin Creed Valhalla/Videos. There are 3 files that you should rename - just add a letter anywhere in their names - UbisoftLogo, Anvil_Logo, PC_AMD_RYZEN. Then go into Assassin Creed Valhala/Videos/en (it's a folder in the folder we just talked about) and do the same renaming for 3 more files - Epilepsy, PC_WarningSaving, warning_disclaimer. That's it, no more intros. Only difference might be that when you press Continue, the game will need a couple of seconds since it hasn't loaded everything it does while showing the intros. But that's two seconds vs thirty, so still faster.

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? My problem was that I turned on the "Hold Alternative" so after turning that off it worked fine. My guess is they never tested that part with the accessibility option turned on. It can be found in the Options menu under Interface > General options, its the second from the bottom before going into the Hud: World & Quests options.

Are you able to knock out characters with your fists that count as non lethal, or is it once they are down they are dead unless you use an ability (like in Syndicate). I know there are sleep arrows, but that is temporary no matter what from what I’ve seen.

This game seems to have brought things back from older AC games that just annoy the hell out of me. I don't mind when they are things like the drinking game but in combat etc they just severely disadvantage me as I am terrible at them.

Flyting is a lot of fun! I wish the wolf pet could travel along with Eivor while exploring.

Do you have advanced assassinations? Saying that, you can't assassinate Zealots...someone should ask Ubisoft why, my guess is that they didn't want people to one-shot them. I don't think it has to do with advanced assassinations. The skill just increased the chances of killing medium rated mobs with a stupid QT. Even if they don't want players to one-shot them, it should still be possible to inflict damage. We have seen it happen in ACOD and other AC. Not able to assassinate zealots is outright stupidity. I could be getting it wrong but we'll need a solid confirmation it's not possible. Without advanced assassinations, enemies that require the QT-assassination (unless you disable it in the options), only get a "stealth attack" in melee range. So if people aren't seeing the "drop assassination" it could be because of that. The "stealth attack" still take out half their health (from what I've seen). It's better than missing the QT (saying that it's pretty hard to miss the QT). Also, with the option to disable the QT, you still need advanced assassination to take out the "gold" enemies. Also, you can always do a normal attack while falling, it does a special attack in itself (I one shot normals with it). I don't remember if that's an option in the skill three like spring attack thought.

So we are unable to assassinate Templar (lackeys) in an Assassin's Creed game? That's the stupidest thing ever. If I manage to stalk and catch a zealot unaware, I should be rewarded with the opportunity to one-shot the bastard or at least do serious damage.

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. 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. Agreed on "granier", at least so I think anyway. (I am on ps4 though) And on finding good guys / bad guys / anything

I guess since Ubisoft included the toggle option for "all assassinations are 1-hit kill", they decided to prevent people skipping on the zealot fights with it. Well then. That's that. Even Hrungr said he couldn't do it. It's dumb.

So I get that holding down J starts a raid but I also get a tool tip that says using J summons the ship. I tried using it at the pier. Nothing happens.
