Starting a New Game
If this is the first time playingAssassin’s Creed: Valhalla, the main menu gives players the option to choose between “Valhalla” or “Dawn of Ragnarok.” Thus, players will be allowed to “Choose [Their] Experience” and can startDawn of Ragnarokwithout having to play throughValhalla’s campaign first.
However, startingDawn of Ragnaroklimits players to Svartalfheim. This means gear and weapons will be predetermined to meet the “requirements” to be on equal ground withDawn of Ragnarok’sdifficulty. Anything from theValhallaexperience will not be carried over if players choose to startDawn of RagnarokbeforeValhalla.
It should be noted thatthispredetermined character cannot be transferred into theValhallaexperience. The character used inDawn of Ragnarokfor those that arestarting from a new gameis only available for the DLC.
If Above or Below Level 340
Players that meet the level requirement forDawn of Ragnarokcan simply load their save file and start working towards the new DLC content. Along with the level requirement, there’s one more thing that needs to be completedbefore going into Svartalfheim. Players will have a new quest in their log called “Restless Dreams,” which is the final step to playingDawn of Ragnarok.
For those that areunder level 340, they will have theoption to use aProgression Boost. This grants players a special set of Mythical-quality gear and will bring their level to 340, butonly for the DLC. Once Eivor returns from Svartalfheim, their level will be back to normal.
Luckily, the “Restless Dreams” quest can be done regardless of the player’s Power Level. However,Ravensthorpeneeds to at least belevel 3in order to build the Seer’s Hut, which, again, is the quest required for startingDawn of Ragnarok. Meaning if thesettlement has yet to meet this requirement, then players will have to work some more before they can start “Restless Dreams.”
Assassin’s Creed: Valhallais available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
