All Game Items

All Game Items

This guide covers every major item type in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, including weapons, armor, consumables, materials, currencies, collectibles, and key equipment. Items are grouped logically with explanations of function, acquisition, optimal use, and synergies. All stats and behaviors are based on the latest patch as of 2024.

Weapons

Weapons are divided into Melee and Ranged categories. Each weapon type has unique movesets, stat weighting, and special properties. Weapons are obtained through looting, purchase from merchants, completing quests, or exploring Wealth chests.

Melee Weapons

Upgrade Path: Weapons can be upgraded from Common → Fine → Superior → Flawless → Mythical using materials (Iron Ore, Leather, Titanium, Tungsten, Platinum, etc.) and schematics found in the world. Mythical weapons unlock a second rune slot.

Rune Synergies:

• Diamond Runes (e.g., +Melee Damage, +Stun) best for aggressive builds.


• Ruby Runes (e.g., +Fire Damage) for elemental builds.


• Garnet Runes (e.g., +Health on Kill) for survivability.

Ranged Weapons

Arrow Types:

• Light Arrows – default, unlimited.


• Hunter Arrows – unlimited, no special effect.


• Predator Arrows – unlimited; zoom and slow time while aiming.


• Special Arrows (crafted from materials):

- Fire Arrows – ignite enemies on hit. Obtained from ingots or skill.
- Poison Arrows – poison enemies over time. Crafted with Iron Ore and Mushroom.
- Stun Arrows – increase stun buildup. Found rarely.

All ranged weapons can be upgraded similarly to melee weapons. Rune slots affect arrow damage or status effect chance.

Armor

Armor consists of chest piece, bracers, pants, cloak, and helmet (if equipped; many Viking helmets are not used by Eivor by default but are available as gear). Armor is grouped into sets that provide set bonuses when wearing multiple pieces.

Major Armor Sets

Upgrades: Armor can be upgraded at the blacksmith using leather, iron ore, and later textiles, platinum, and niello. Higher tiers increase resistance and set bonus numbers.

Cosmetic Transmog: Any armor can be transmogged to look like another piece once you have owned it. No cost.

Consumables

Consumables are used in combat, exploration, and settlement building. Most are crafted or bought from merchants.

Combat Consumables

| Smoke Bombs | Create a smoke screen to escape or perform stealth kills. | 1 Fur + 1 Feather | High versatility; also can be thrown to blind.
| Poison Throwing Knife (Lure?) – Not a consumable; use bow. |

World Consumables (Non-craftable)

| Nornir Potion | Permanently increase one stat by 1. | Found in cursed areas; limited.
| Fjotvir’s Mead | Restore 100% health. | Rare drops from legendary animals. |
| Spendless Coin | Gives 100 silver instantly. | Found in wealth chests. |

Currencies

There are three main currencies in Valhalla, plus DLC-specific ones.

Silver Scarcity: In early game, silver is tight. Sell unnecessary gear and runes. Late game, silver becomes abundant.

Collectibles

Collectibles are scattered across England, Norway, and DLC regions. They contribute to completion percentages and unlock rewards.

Core Collectibles

Wealth (Gold icons on map): Contains gear, ingots, abilities, or raw materials. Usually guarded by enemies or puzzles.

Mysteries (Blue icons): World events, puzzles, offerings, and rare encounters. Rewards XP, ability points, cosmetics, and sometimes gear.

Artifacts (White icons):

• Roman Artifacts (scrolls, masks, etc.) – unlock cosmetic items.


• Rigs (Viking artifacts?): Actually, there are Treasure Hoard Maps, Rune Tablets, Ancient Weapons, and Cairns (stone stacking puzzles). Each type gives XP or abilities.


Animus Anomalies: Glowing puzzles that unlock part of the Isu armor set after completing all.

Daughters of Lerion: Three powerful boss fights in East Anglia (Gonnadr), Lincolnscire (Aelfswith), and Suthsexe (Cornelia?). Defeating all three drops pieces of Thor’s armor and a key to access a hidden cave.

Order of the Ancients: Kill 45 members to unlock the final confrontation and the legendary spear Gungnir.

Legendary Animals: Defeating them provides unique trophies for the longhouse and some materials.

Key Equipment (Abilities & Tools)



These are not traditional items but essential tools that function like equipment.



Hidden Blade




• Obtained early in the story. Used for Assassination.


• Can be upgraded three times at the Hidden Bureau in Norway, then later in England. Upgrades increase assassination damage and allow chain assassination.


• Synergy: Pair with Assassinate Damage runes on gear and the Advanced Assassination skill.




Raven (Synin)




• Used for scouting, tagging enemies, and finding objectives. Cannot attack.


• Upgraded via the Synin skill in the Raven Skill Tree (increase detection range, faster flight).




Rations




• Carried in an inventory slot. Two default; upgrade to three via fabric at the blacksmith.




Quiver




• Carries arrows. Upgrade at the blacksmith using fabric: start with 12, upgrade to 15, then 22 (max).




Tattoo Collection




• Cosmetic items (tattoos, hair, ship trails) found in chests and purchased from merchants. No effect on gameplay.




Mount (Horse/Elk/Dog)




• Obtained early; can be changed via stable tokens. Each mount has the same stats; only cosmetics differ.

Important Notes on Item Management




• Inventory Limit: You can hold unlimited items, but you can only equip one weapon set at a time (two melee weapons, two bows). Unequipped gear goes to inventory.


• Salvage vs. Sell: Early game, salvage common gear for materials. Late game, sell duplicates for silver.


• Rune Removal: Runes can be removed at any blacksmith for a small silver fee. You keep the rune.


• Transmog: Any armor or weapon you have ever owned can be applied as a cosmetic skin over your currently equipped gear at no cost.


• DLC Items: DLC gear is usually stronger than base game at the same tier, but all items can be upgraded to Mythical and perform equally at max level.
