Ah, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla—a game that’s not just about sharp axes and hidden blades, but also about strategy and the joy of discovery. If you've spent any time in Eivor’s boots, you know the weapons you wield are crucial. But where do you find them all, and how do you choose the best ones for your unique play style? Let’s embark on this adventure together.
Unveiling the Weapons
Valhalla brings an arsenal that would make even the gods swoon. Swords, hammers, shields, and more await your mastery. Here's a sneak peek into the collection you'll encounter:

- Greatswords: Massive and imposing, greatswords deliver sweeping attacks that can hit multiple enemies in one fell swoop.
- Hammers: Deliver crushing blows that break through enemy defenses, perfect for when you want to bring the wrath of Thor down on your foes.
- Spears: Offering superior reach and speed, spears are balanced weapons for keeping enemies at bay.
- Shields: More than just defensive tools, shields in Valhalla allow for countering enemy attacks and can bash foes to create openings in their defenses.
