ISOFT confirmed last year that they would continue to support the assassin’s creed Valhalla after the release of two promised expansions. Soft Sofia’s massive dawn of RAGNAROK expansion was announced in December and will offer over 35 hours of gameplay. We attended a presentation dedicated to him and are ready to share all the details.

Family matters

In the dawn of RAGNAROK, we will see the story of Odin, who went in search of his son Baldur, who is being held captive by the fiery giant sort. Norse mythology was a pretty big part of the original Valhalla, and the whole expansion will be devoted to it here. Players will visit, the home of the as always, when creating the region, paid great attention to sagas and legends to offer the most convincing version of the mythical world.

Although Odin is the supreme god, he is above all a father. According to the developers, they want to show the personality of Odin from different angles, including those that could not be considered in the original Valhalla. The main villain will also be revealed: we will meet his wife summary and son.

At the presentation, we were shown a fragment of the quest, the events of which unfold in one of the oldest territories, captured Odin (who is known here by another well-known name -) needs to enlist the support of the dwarves and find a relic that will help him find his son. True, after the invasion by the giants, the surviving dwarves hid in shelters and do not get out of there. Each hideout you enter is unique. Players can find beautiful natural formations like crystals there, as well as every architecture in the spirit of brutalism.

Shelters are hidden from prying eyes, but finding them will not be difficult. The approximate location of the shelters is indicated on the world map, and large flocks of birds are circling above them. It will be possible to find the entrances with the help of marks on the trees and stones left by the dwarves for relatives.

The new location looks very picturesque.

In one of the shelters, we meet its leader, the woman gun bore. It turns out that after the death of the last leader at the hands of the giants, the miners in the neighborhood began to serve glad since the invaders are interested in relics buried deep underground. One of the miners, Frito, knows a lot about these secrets but does not get in touch – in the abandoned house where he exchanged letters with gun Borg, no news from him has appeared for a long time. We are going in search of him.

Was yours, became ours

Before leaving the vault, the developers talk about one of the main innovations of the dawn of RAGNAROK, the artifact huge-reap. It allows you to take away the strength of enemies and use them against the survivors and also bestows Odin with unusual abilities. One of them is called “raven power” – the character turns into a bird and can circle above the ground and fly high. You will be able to buy upgrades to these skills from the merchant – in the case of raven’s power, you will be able to attack opponents without leaving the form of a bird.

Why do you need a raven if you can become one yourself?

Flying up to the mining town, the developer notices that one of the guards has a symbol over his head, indicating that he has a special power. It is she who can be taken away with the help of an artifact: we run-up to the corpse, press the button, and we are invited to insert the force into one of the three slots. The enemy possessed the power of rebirth – the wearer’s weapon is covered with volcanic fire, and the enemies killed by him are resurrected and fight on the side of the killer.

This skill pairs well with stealth kills

The houses in the Swedish settlements are tall, so jumping on the victims and making them your allies will not be difficult. The use of huge rips abilities consumes energy. You can restore it both in fights with enemies and with the help of the environment, including with the help of special plants and shrines, where you can get huge in exchange for health.

Players of pg slot will need to keep an eye on when the skill they have activated goes off, as the powers don’t last forever. But those who perfectly master these mechanics and learn how to switch between forces in time will be able to stretch the process for quite a long time.

All the abilities temporarily granted by the artifact were designed in such a way that they could be used in different situations. For example, force protects Odin from lava, fire, and explosions. However, you can make it so that when it is activated, Odin becomes like a resident. And in this form, it will become easier to approach the victims and covertly eliminate them – until, of course, you start acting strangely in front of others. With this skill, you can even take prisoners out of the prison without coming into conflict with the guards.
