Only being able to obtain a weapon after the story is almost done just feels pointless
nah. will be useful for taking down endgame stuff like forts and garrisons with wealth in, plus the dlcs and river raids coning soon
@@freddiecorleone6373 Yeah but I don't like only being able to get the good stuff after the games over it's fun to have the option to have thors hammer and odins spear while playing the main story especially during thosw big cut scenes
I’ve completed the game, obtained every single piece of loot, killed every person that needs killing, found all Easter eggs, grew my village into a town and obtained every single weapon you can get... all with Vanir’s ax... I’m a simple man I guess!... never mind I guess I missed a few things!
That’s exactly what I did man, barely upgraded my raven armor and used vanir all the way to the end on the second highest difficulty 😂
That makes two of us lol. I've collected them all, but I've kept Varin's axe throughout.
Everything u just mentioned I managed to get done, every single bit done but I'm getting the bug the the achievement not popping "disorder of the ancients" and missing certain codex pages even tho everything is completely done. I'm missing 1 location supposedly 🤔 1 people and 1 faction. Which doesn't make any sense.

@@gladiator9134 I will say, combining Suttungr's Claw with the Sarcophagus large shield has been phenomenal.
I gotta say I’m so glad they brought shields into Valhalla. They should have done that in Odyssey. I’m mean hell the Hoplite was central to Greek warfare.
Shields wouldn‘t have fit in Odyssey with that spear and the abilities.
But I love using double shields in Valhalla. It‘s actually insanely powerful, no cap
@@GrievousKhan its kind of historical correct becuase the real vikings didnt have lot of swords. Steel was a rare material so they mostly use weapons like axes where steel in small volumes was needed. Only really rich vikings could afford swords, and most of those were from other cultures anyway.
@@merlin91 considering that, your average viking raider that couldn't afford a sword could pilfer a sword from a guard or soldier as well as his armor and gear. The fact that you cant even find a single one handed sword in the game is a huge problem...especially considering that most of the briton soldiers have single handed swords.
@@johnmarston8868 I get your point but please take also in mind that Assassin's Creed is not as much a role play game as eg Skyrim where you can loot npc down to underwear (Wich I really liked btw^^)
You don't need to return for Gungnir, you can get it the first time, just stop following Sigurd, get the weapon and return to Sigurd.
It needs 4 adrenaline bars to pick up though, so I guess after you got that you can go there and collect gungnir. Unless the entrance is blocked off, I can't remember
@@elpatron7185 thats pretty early compared to when the game wants you to get gungnir. The big part is making sure you have 4 adrenaline bars. This generally happens in late game but I suppose depending on how you respec it might be possible
I duel wield Gungnir and Mjonir. I like Gungnir for the reach and Mjonir for stun. It would be awesome if you could throw Mjonir and call it back.
@@Achilles053 I like mjolnir better, but Excalibur is far stronger and better. I have the max upgraded versions of both.
@@user-jt6rh8xy6n excalibur has 149 attack at max lvl and mjolnir has 154, i’ve run half of the game with excalibur and it is really the best, until you wield mjolnir, thor’s hammer with full set of thor’s armor and with multiple runes on concussion Just destroys everyone)
@@Sopromaterial4ik you sure about that? I also believe mjolnir is the superior weapon but I thought for sure Excalibur’s is stronger. A maxed out Mjolnir with 0 runes has the max power 149, while the Excalibur with no runes is 148. So Mjolnir is stronger only by 1. (WITH MAXED THE MAXED OUT BEAR TREE). Because certain skills boost the stats of weapon categories and my bear tree is maxed out so those are the highest Atk from both fully upgraded weapons. Also the Damage doesn’t mean it’s the better weapon so I would have to compare the stats to see which is the superior weapon.
The entirety of England: This sword will not come out of the stone unless someone legendary is worthy
Viking: *Yoink* haha sword go brr
He kinda proved his worth in wit and strength solving puzzle caves and fighting Zealots. Kind of. Good enough
Noden’s Ark needs to be in there - Isu bow found at the very top of the map near a small lake. There’s an unbreakable obsidian stone near the lake, but if you swing at it with Excalibur at the exact moment the sun sets, it’ll break and give you Noden’s Ark 👍🏻
I was gonna say he missed Noden's Arc lol (best looking Hunter bow in the game imho)
Still wonder who is the guy at Ubisoft that come up with this way to get the bow and how did he think players could understand this. Same goes for Excalibur concerning the cave you have to search to find the sword.
You can get nodens arc by getting shoulder bash during river raids in the river sevrene
@@Cafearmuirepeople find things accidentally, then that information is spread and understanded in equal speed
With Lagerther’s axe, there is a building behind the stone wall, you go in from the water, go under the building and there should be an explosive oil jar in there. And then there should be an exit which is self explanatory, your welcome.
I think they might have change it. Just searched the chamber with it in and I got the... Drekar Shield? A bit disappointed
Started to play this game some more..... and found out also about this.... started to search the comments here and hey-ho.... i was not the only one to find it XD
Ty sm unlocked the map went straight there and got the axe beat weapon I got rn
Vordrs bite wasn’t there. It was the Drekar Light Shield. Weird. *Edit* I found out you need to kill all legendary beasts and get it as a reward from the hunters shack in Raventhorpe. As long as you have it already built. Also, you get it as flawless but it upgrades for FREE to mythical at your Raventhorpe blacksmith. Hope this helps.
@@jacksonstinson9723 no problem partner. Thats why I posted it. It took me close to three months playing that game everyday to beat it and could have been longer without help from videos and comments like this. Hope your having fun! Wait till you get Mjolnir, Gungnir and Excalibur. If I were you I would do what I figured out half way through the game and try looking up all the treasures of Briton and then go and get Excalibur first. It will help you fight stronger opponents as you run through the map. You can’t get Mjolnir until you get all of Thor’s armor which you need to be a higher level to beat the crones. Especially the last one which is like in the 300s or something. You can beat her in the 200s with the right gear. To get Gungnir you need to beat the main story because you need all of hidden ones assassinated and can’t do that until the last mission. Both Gungnir and Mjolnir are in the same basic area in Norway so as soon as your done with both the assassins and the main story mission I would go back and get them both at once and then have fun completing the side missions with three badass weapons. This game was one of the best open world games I have ever played. Kinda reminded me of The Witcher II.
Ty man u so helpful i found the shield too and was so angry because i was struggling to get in the camp hahah the enemies are so strong
@Âdârsh Jâcób no problem brother. I try to point stuff like this out whenever I can. I’m glad it helps! 😁
Heck, I love Varin's axe. It's all about whatcha prefer, though. Recently, I've been using Varin's Axe with the Blacksmith's Hammer. Those two are a nasty combo, fully upgraded. Also use Venom Bow for Crit chance w/ea hit. Maaaan, kockdowns, stuns and crits all over the place! Crazy how fast and powerful you feel with just a couple 1 handers.
Real quick so everyone knows, in order to pull Odin's spear out of the wall you MUST have all 4 adrenaline bars. You can get the other 3 from the skill tree and if you dont have them respec your skills to get the extra 3 bars. Again you must have all 4 adrenaline bars in order to pull the spear from the wall!
@@codyputnam9770 no need to rush, you have to finish the story aswell before you can pull it
@@pulsecatac5712 well that sucks, I wanted to go through the game wearing Thor’s armour :(
Thank you for showing the whole map before zooming in, that is such a game-changer
When you first go to the secret isu temple during the brothers keeper arc you can get it before you enter the temple, thats when I got it. I just turned left to explore and found it.
As far as i know you only can pick it up when you got all 4 adrenalinbar Upgrades
@@nik0392 thats a glitch you're supposed to get it after your incounter with Odin in that story arc
I tried to get gungnir in the beginning of the game but it wouldn’t let me
@@kopuskylus29 a glitch? It seems pretty obvious that the adrenaline requirement is intentional. It even shows you how many bars you have and they al light up when you attempt to pull it out
@@noblesseoblige319 I have 4 bars but only 3 filled and pulled it out. Only things is you have to beat the game.
I hate how all the movies and video games have Excalibur coming from a stone when it originally came from the lady of the lake.
Thing is, the sword in the stone and excalibur are completely different swords in many versions of the myth, in some Excalibur is a version of the sword in the stone reforged by the last of the lake but they are mostly regarded as different weapons
In the witcher series u will get the best sword from the lady of the lake
From deep Arthurian legend, the sword in the stone is commonly referred to as Clarent and is the sword Mordred used to kill Arthur
Additionally, Clarent was used almost exclusively for ceremonial purposes while Excalibur was for battle
@@StarlessSky2000 Clarent? I thought it was Caliban/Caliburn? (Same weapon different myth)
Excalibur is not the best weapon in Witcher it is a great weapon but I found better and forged better.
Since I got the 2 handed Sepulcher Axe, I kept using it for the rest of the game.
Now 190 hours in (completed base game, got the platinum, finished Wrath of the Druids and now playing Siege of Paris) and still using it.
To get Lagerthas axe there is an explosive jar in the building just opposite, swim under water into it
You get the dive of the valkyries during the mission “An island of Eels” at “Isle of Ely Monastery “ raiding !
You get the second one at “lolingestone Bandit camp” to the bottom right of “Lunden”
80 hours into the game and I’m proud to say I’ve defeated the main story, the order, the three witches to get Mjollnir and just finished getting all 11 tablets tonight to get the Excalibur. Now to do more side missions, raids and collect more armor chests, loot chests, books of knowledge, mysteries and artifacts for another 80 hours 😂😂
Nice guide and video, it's a shame the "legendary" weapons can only be aquired after completing the game, I really wanted to run around with Thor's hammer and Odin's spear during my playthrough.
Excalibur which is the only "legendary" that can be aquired before completing the game felt really slow and weak.
Whats the point of getting the coolest weapons when the game is over...
I'm sure they'll make new game plus available if it's not already. Then you can start the beginning with all the gear you gathered. That's is if you're into replays
i was so mad too.. i went for all the order hunts and in the end still had to fight the last fight without them...
fkn shame
Start killing every enemy, loot every chest, complete every mission, upgrade every settlement. Your grand children will get these weapons. 👍👍👍
Im disappointed that we couldnt get a sword like basims
You can get one from reda but it’s a daily so you would have to wait for it to pop up
You can buy one in the store for helix points if you really want one
@@bleak4lls I don’t know, you can only buy it from a pack and I didn’t have enough
actually its ben shown in other videos that for gungnir you can go when you enter the cave with sigurd (also been told you have to have all 4 adrenaline bars unlocked),idk if its true,only lv 130 atm
@@jonasjay9570 really cant tell myself,progressing very slowly since til halo infinite,human farm and shadow warrior 3 no game awaits me,so since neither have a release date (only a "promise" that it will come in 2021) why hurry myself :)
When you go for the Lagertha Axe, there is those little explosive jars in the house behind you when facing the wall that you need to get through. Swim under the floor and you can get inside that building. 😁
The vordr's bite apparently doesn't exist anymore because i went to this exact spot and got a shield called the "drekar shield"
You get it for killing a legendary animals, video made a mistake
Ah I thought there was something special about that one. Kinda got lost in the story and forgot
Flail spin to win and 2H axe spin to win. I started the game but the axe+shield doesnt feel like a viking so i just go with a 2h axe i found on an island but dont know what to upgrade.
Thank you for avoiding spoilers I want to experience this story from the start I liked the story
There is definitely an oil jar in Housesteads that lets you get the Lagertha axe. It took me a bit to find but (if I remember correctly - it was a while ago) you jump into that tiny area of water by the breakable wall and dive down until you come up in a room in the building next to it. There is an oil jar. You can bust your way out and walk over to the breakable wall.
Shot my cuzzy just went there and found out I don't have the ability surely he found just want more views lmao bit nah thanks good videos aswell
So as long as you are really good at not getting hit by zealots you can get Excalibur very early in the game.
Btw, there is a bow that you get after nabbing that juicy Excalibur. You can only get it by hitting a certain rock during a certain time of day with the sword. Not going into too much detail, obviously.
Great 👍 An S-tier weapon is Housecarl's Axe. Another S-tier weapon is Yngling Seax.
For lagertha axe, the explosive jar is in the house on the other side of the frozen lake. You have to break a small part of the ice and swin under to access the house
At the beginning of the video hearing the beer and friends sound from assassins creed 3 brought back some major nostalgia
Great video I would like to mention a common weapon which I have had fun using its called the blacksmiths hammer, its very easy to find and its perk is (every heavy attack you perform will knock the enemy down) so you can use stomp ability to deal crazy damage on pretty much any enemy apart from bosses and legendary hunts
I was wondering why he didn't mention the blacksmiths hammer. It's definitely a top 10 weapon in the game. It's fast, stuns enemies left and right and critical hits are op as hell on it like you said. I paired it with a spear/carolingian longsword and put on Thegns and mentors armor sets and parrying and critical hits are eliteeee
I recently got mjolnir and vericas sickle and they both are a very good but commy loadout
The one thing I don't like about the cape or the hammer is you basically have to beat the game unless you wait to do the DLCs that allow you to take your weapons to that is.
Mythical mentors clock, raiders axe and varins axe, and all mythical ravens clan gear looks fuuuuuckin mint
Gungnir and gae bolg from wrath of the druids is the best combo in the game
Gungnir can be picked up when you start the mission brothers keeper.
3:11 swim under water and up into a room. You can find a moveable object move it out of the way and take the oil jar
Thanks man I now have some of the weapons and like you said its 100% worth it
Wonderful guide, thank you. I’ve beaten the game yesterday so I’m now off to get that awesome spear!😁
Did the game really end after doing all of the raventhorpe missions because it feels like its over but then again there wasnt a proper send off to show the story is ovef
@@sergantzuc3002 I loved the whole main storyline and where it leads our Viking to become the leader of Ravensthorpe at the end. Im really looking forward to all the dlcs. 🙃
There's no vordirs bite in that chest. I got there a shield. Does the loot changed after update?
You get given that same axe from the hunters hut after beating all legendary animals, i picked it up from that chest before getting a second one from the hunters hut, so i think there was an oversight or glitch, since you're not supposed to have 2. Probably changed it in the chest and left it as a hunters hut reward.
@@scottsymons7195 just got that axe from the legendary animals. So yes, it was duplicated so they corrected it, makes sense.
The blazing sword is the best in the game, I defeated all the witches at level 50 with it, it's insane
Or..once you leave Norway or just before...you can glitch into getting gungnir..easier than waiting til the end of the game
I've been using double spears. Unstoppable.
I used that for a while, but found it really broke the game - so switched it up and tried different things.
Almost at power level 400 and I’m rocking the Briton shield with Excalibur. Amazing combination
I use Odin's spear & Thor's hammer. Two legendary badass weapons 🔥🔥
For all the people that don’t have the Incendiary Abilitie for Lagertha’s Axe. The explosive powder keg is in the house straight across the wall you have to blow up. Just dive under water in front of the house to enter the house.
For Lagertha's Axe, there is a house directly behind the wall you have to explode. Jump into the water, swim under and up in the house. Move the box from the window and carry out the oil jar!
I’m in the place to get vordr’s bite right now and opened the gold chest and got drekar shield
Vordr's Bite is now a reward for completing all Legendary Animals. It was intended to be a reward for the legendary animal's but they stuffed up.
Lagertha's Axe, theres a explosive pot in the house directly in front of the wall you need to destroy. You need to dive underneath the water to enter the house, move the pillar, than pick up the pot and climb out the windo
For Lagertha’e Axe there’s a house behind the wall and inside the house there’s an explosive vase:)
Vordr's bite now seems to be replaced with drekar shield
I completed all of the raids so I’m bored but this video made 1000times thx so much
I just got Lagertha's Axe, thank you!!!
It’s interesting because Woden is the Germanic spelling of Óðinn.
Which is why we have Wednesday. Thursday is Thor, Tuesday is Tyr and Friday is Frigg.
In all games I play, I never use weapons or skills, just heavy and light fist attacks. I never wear armor or use healing and I play on the hardest difficulty. I always make sure that I'm blindfolded so I cant see the screen and I have the volume turned down to zero. I also turn off the vibration on my controller. I just find it more immersive this way.
Thank you very much for the great video and taking the time for making it from the tone of your voice I can tell you are another one who got taken away from this game lol very enthusiastic about it i have over 250 hours played and never get tired of it best game I’ve played so far together with Gosht of Tsushima
One of the best bows in the game, in my opinion, is called "Nodens' Arc". It can be found in northern Eurvicscire. Right next to the high point at the top of the map is 2 bodies of water. The largest one is a big lake, with a little island with a tree on it, and an ore cache. If you have Excalibur, and you break the ore clump at a certain time, at sundown I think, then it breaks and drops the bow. It is a Hunter bow. The ore is unbreakable until the perfect moment. Fully upgraded, it deals 126 damage, 46 speed, 146 stun, 119 crit-pre, 94 hd-shot, and only weighs 11.
A bit late I guess :), I am playing on normal and any fully upgraded hunter bow with the Dublin set will pretty much head shoot everything except bosses, guess I am boring but I rarely take any damage in missions. The raven collects all my arrows and I pretty much never run out.
Had to turn the video off. How could you start with a weapon/place like that. I remembered Evior vision. Can’t believe you’d do that.
Love dual wielding mjolnir and the Excalibur
I like to dual wield Mjolnir and Gungnir with Mjolnir in the primary hand. I use Excalibur solo because it's too slow when you dual wield with it. It swings a bit faster when you use it solo.
@@ty_williams2671 You can get a perk that lets you hold right sick and right trigger and you can switch mid combat, The sword has a pretty neat charge ability when it's in the off hand but Mjolnir is good too sometimes because you can just hold LB and wail on people then stomp them lmao.
So, I was pretty disappointed that I went through the trouble of getting all the tablets, and killing the three zealots, only to discover that Excalibur is barely more powerful than the great sword already in my possession. It has cool extras such as sound effects, a chance for a fire ring and looks really cool. But it seems like a lot of trouble for not that much more power.
Do you need the Season pass to get those Tablets for Excalibur?? Or do i need to play tru the Story only ??
3:19 there is an oil jar in the house next to the lake you need to dive into the lake to get inside and after you remove the door block you can grab it and blow the enrance.
I've been doing my thorfinn impression since asgard
Thanks for not putting any spoiler warnings before dropping crucial story details
That “worthiness” thing with Thor’s hammer is definitely not congruent with Norse mythology.
Facts. The fucking thing was literally stolen by a Jotun who tried to blackmail Odin into giving him Freya in exchange for giving Mjolnir back.
Both true and false. Thor needed a belt to lift it properly while jotuns are strong enough because of size. So one could argue u become strong enough after having his gear.
I don’t like it either it swings like a two handed hammer but is a one handed hammer it’s just too slow for its perk I feel if it matched a one-handed hammer speed it might be pretty bad ass
@@paultucker9411 again that’s because it was insanely heavy Thor in mythology needed a belt that would double his strength to wield in properly
VIPER LIGHT BOW thats you can buy in the shop is one of the best (just 7 attack difference) increase critical after every hit.
I just tried to get Vordr's Bite at lvl 202 at the location mentioned, but it is a Light Shield now. They may have moved it since the video (not a slight to the video, nice work)
Instead, of getting Vord's Bite I received, Drekar's Shield at Calleva outpost.
@@trueblueranger6 to get it you have to kill all of the legendary animals or maybe just the black shuk or wildcats
@@MemeCastGuy69 to get it you have to either kill all of the legendary animals, or only kill the black shuck or only kill the wildcats
But does Thor’s hammer come back to you.
Confirmed: you only need the spear
(Lagartha's Axe) If you take a 180 when you are at the vulnerable wall you will come across a frozen pond. Dive under the water and swim underneath and into the house that is next to the pond, inside you will find an oil barrel, I somehow messed up the powder trap shot so this might help anyone else who messes up the shot.
Can you get these early in the game or you have to be progressed far. Like doing spear do you have to be on the quest to get it?
The locations must of changed i just went to get the vordr's bite but got drekar shield instead
Hey guys the way to get it is now changed - u need to defeat all the legendary animals and give the loot to the butcher in ur settlement and then ull get it, i got the drekar shield from that place and the vordr’s bite from defeating all the legendary animals
For Lagertha's Axe: Don't have the Incendiary ability? Np, drop a torch, light your arrow, and you're golden.
@@markh5601 no actually if you throw a torch at just the right way, it will light the wall on fire and collapse, it happened to me once but I wasn't hole to do it again im still trying to figure out.
To get lagerthas axe if you dont have the fire ability. Dive under the pool of water there,
collect the titanum inside the water, swim forward into the hole right in front. There you will see a fire jar. Move the pillar thing blocking the window and parkour over to the stoney wall. ya good now
Would be dope if you could throw Thor’s Hammer and it returns to you. Great video, I got Excalibur early on and it is just unstoppable, I dual wield it with Carolingians Sword 👌🏾
I went to the Calleva Outpost and instead of Vodyr’s Bite, I got a Drekar shield, I’m so disappointed
Vordrs axe wasn’t there for me it was just a shield
the axe was supposed to be a mission reward so they put a shield wich was originally a shop item there instead
@@thebestsoccerskin2574 There is a quest where you get it as a reward but I don't know wich one
Thx so much.. I’m a low level and this is gonna help me soo much
Thank you for the video. But i whent to the location of the outpost for that bite axe and got a shield instead. Is that nornal?
Thors hammer is a rather pointless weapon, you can only get it whilst wearing thors armour, you done get the complete set until you complete the order, which is pretty much the end of the game, so what is the point in it?
WTF... I just went to get the Vordr's Bite... I loot the chest that he shows in the video and it gave me a shield! Whats up with that??
i got mine when i killed all legendary animals excluding the jountenheim bear, the animal i got it after were the linx cats in the 350 area😊
I will say, combining Suttungr's Claw with the Sarcophagus large shield has been phenomenal.
3:00 there is a lake near the wall if you go in there you can go in a house and there is a explosive jar
You need to add the Isu bow nordens arc to the list, although the bow can be obtained via an exploit at the moment the correct way to get it is first you will need Excalibur and then at sundown you can use Excalibur to smash the rock that the bow is found in.
Don’t mind me, just watching this for the billionth time
I'd like to give thanks to the player who took a picture of Thor's hammer
Imagine having odins spear and the axe or thors hammer you will basically be invincible
I love wielding the bear aligned mythical kite shield, and using Thor’s hammer. Odins spear and Excalibur. I’m a big parry player. I’ve maxed evior out to 475 and now just collecting mastery points. It’s not even fair fighting people anymore in this game lol.
Odin's spear can be picked up when you go there with Sigurd. I don't know if the story blocks it if you go with him, but just run ahead as he is extremely slow, go left in the cave, pick it up, and go back to Sigurd.
Im on 160 power level but Im still using Vanir Axe just because its our character dad axe XD
Lmao. I do this type of thing too as it makes sense for lore😂
Honor 100
I did too up until I decided to do the alliance with Lunden, then I found the blacksmiths hammer
I love that you can actually do that viably because of the weapon upgrade system
Yep! I’m also doing that. I love a bit of nostalgia lol
