Skill Trees are now displayed in complex constellations that unlock both passive and active skills for your character. There are three main branches, and your chosen branch will give bonuses to your weapons and armor as well. Raven Skills (yellow) focus on Stealth and Assassination, Bear Skills (red) provide bonuses to melee combat and head-on confrontations and Wolf Skills (blue) give perks to mainly ranged combat.

Unlike the previous games, your abilities are now independent from your skill tree, and you have to find them on the landscape. We have put together a list of Ability Locations for AC: Valhalla that you can use, these list all the Books of Knowledge in the game. Books of Knowledge are the item that teaches you an ability – and finding a second copy of the same ability will increase its rank.

Equipment is significantly different from the other games, mainly in that none of it is random so everything can be found at a specific location. Additionally, there is a lot less of it, so for your first 20 hours you will be looking at about 3 armor sets and maybe 20 weapons. To offset the lower number of individual items, you have the option to both upgrade and enhance the quality of your weapons, as well as slot runes into them. We cover all of this on a dedicated page on the wiki, so you can find details there.

Like weapons, Armor is linked to a specific Skill Tree. There are armor sets in the game that give bonuses for equipping all pieces, and you get further bonuses for taking “Way of the Raven“, “Way of the Bear” or “Way of the Wolf” skills on each tree. So if you plan on going for heavy armor, you should go into the red tree and find instances of “Way of the Bear” to put points into as it will maximize your stats.

Your progression through AC: Valhalla will be slightly different than you may have done in previous games. I would suggest following the main story until you get to the point you can unlock your Settlement before doing too many side activities, mainly because you’ll want to be able to benefit from the many services available there. Additionally, I found that if I visited places too early, NPCs that were needed to complete the wealth objective of the area where not there, meaning I had to come back to the location a second time.

We have a full settlement guide that can be found on the wiki, so the tips here will be a lot more concise. First, the settlement is unlocked after you travel to England and complete the quest called “Settling Down”. Once you do this, your first order of business will be to build the Blacksmith by gathering materials, which you get from Raids. Once Gunnar is set up, your Settlement will begin giving you options to construct Service Buildings, Cosmetic Buildings and Feast Buff Buildings.
