Collectibles Guide

Welcome, Jarl! This comprehensive guide will help you track down every hidden treasure, ancient artifact, and elusive secret scattered across the vast lands of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Collecting these items isn't just for completionists; many provide crucial upgrades, unique gear, or valuable lore that deepens your understanding of Eivor's journey and the world of the Vikings.

Types of Collectibles

Valhalla features several distinct categories of collectibles, each offering different rewards and requiring unique approaches to acquire. Understanding these categories is the first step to efficient exploration.

  • Wealth: Marked by golden icons on your map, Wealth includes Gear, Ingots (Carbon, Nickel, Tungsten), and Ability Books. These are essential for upgrading your equipment and unlocking powerful new skills.
  • Mysteries: Represented by blue icons, Mysteries encompass a wide range of activities such as World Events, Flyting challenges, Cairns, Standing Stones, Altars, Animus Anomalies, and Lost Drengr. Completing these often grants experience, skill points, or unique insights into the game's world.
  • Artifacts: Indicated by white icons, Artifacts include Roman Artifacts, Cursed Symbols, Flying Papers (Tattoos), Rigsogur Fragments, and Treasure Hoard Maps. These often lead to cosmetic rewards, lore, or valuable resources.

General Collection Strategies

Before diving into specific locations, consider these overarching strategies to make your collectible hunt more efficient:

  • Synchronize Viewpoints: Always synchronize with any High Points you encounter. This reveals nearby Wealth, Mysteries, and Artifacts on your map, making them much easier to track.
  • Use Odin's Sight: Frequently tap Odin's Sight (V on PC, L3 on PlayStation, LS on Xbox) to highlight interactive objects, enemies, and, most importantly, collectible markers within your immediate vicinity. This is invaluable in dense areas or when searching for hidden entrances.
  • Explore Thoroughly: Don't rush through areas. Many collectibles are hidden behind breakable walls, underwater, or require specific environmental puzzles to solve. Look for glowing objects, destructible barriers, and climbable paths.
  • Prioritize Wealth for Upgrades: Early in the game, focus on collecting Ingots and Gear to strengthen Eivor. Upgrading your equipment significantly eases combat encounters.
  • Check Your Map Filters: Your world map has filters that allow you to toggle specific collectible types on or off. Use this to focus on one type of collectible at a time if you're aiming for specific rewards.
  • Return Later: Some collectibles are locked behind story progression, require specific abilities, or are guarded by high-level enemies. Don't be afraid to mark them and return when Eivor is stronger or has unlocked necessary skills like the Dive of the Valkyries.
