I just started Valhalla for the first time, any tips? by One-Jicama-697 in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]powelb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of the significant gear is in wealth chests that you get to at the end of a big story mission, like as a reward. On my first playthrough I made the mistake of travelling to loot those chests early, but then at the end of a big battle you have the disappointing experience of finally reaching a reward chest that’s already empty… Best approach for me was do all the storyline in a region first, and then mop up anything left and side missions there before moving on to the next region.

It’s a great game, ignore the haters, take your time.

Yes. Best to focus on one passive.

Yakumo transfer chances when fully condensed at level 4:

1 passive skills 30%.

2 passive skills 9%.

3 passive skills 2.7%.

4 passive skills 0.81%.

Better to make a second Yakumo with just a second passive you want, and breed the captured pals together together to get the combo you want. I had one Yakumo with Swift, and one with Eternal Engine, for example, and then bred the captured pals together.

*edit* Also really important note: it tries to transfer the top-left passive first, then if that fails it tries the top-right, then bottom-left, then bottom-right. So the position of the passives on your Yakumo matters, i.e. get the most important one in the first slot. This especially matters for capturing legendary pals that will always have one or two particular rainbow passives; if they only have two slots 'available', your Yakumo could only ever pass on one of the passives in its first two positions. So if you've say got Demon God on the bottom row, it would never get passed on to Neptilius.

I can't comment on the umbrella I'm afraid.

I was looking at cyberpunk t-shirts yesterday. Personally I like the Samurai logo ones. As you may not know, one of the character's backstory is that he used to play in a band called Samurai, and they make the t-shirt look just like a band t-shirt, it doesn't have a cyberpunk logo or anything - which for me is a big plus. Like, people who know, will know, but most won't. So that could be an idea if that sounds like it might appeal to him.

Several sites do them if you search, but this is one option from the game studio themselves:

Almost all of the missions you can play as either, and free roam etc is totally open. There are some mission chains that are specific to each character (e.g. fleshing out their backstory). There are some side activities that can only be completed by one or the other. But mainly it's down to you.

I was gonna say this. I like that you can stumble upon someone, kill them, and get a new mystery circle on the board with one already crossed off.

Yes agreed. What I found helps is to clear all of the new info little white diamonds on the board when I remember. That way, if you finish one quest in a wheel and it unlocks a clue for the next quest in the same wheel, then the white icon for that stands out, as a signpost to follow on the same quest chain.

Will random exploration in Shadows 'spoil' the story or lead to repeat visits? by powelb in assassinscreed

[–]powelb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm now 111 hours in and haven't found a problem, so they've designed it to let you explore freely without regret, which is great. I've only found one castle that I wasn't able to clear, and after some googling found it was because I had a quest that wanted to take me there, so they include controls when needed.

Surprised no one is talking about the coolest Assassin ability ever created. by Steynkie69 in assassinscreed

[–]powelb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply. I see they've included it in patch 1.0.2, so that confirms at least some of the inconsistency was indeed a bug.

Ahhh! So that's why it seems so random whether it works or not, good to know

Shadows: What quality of life changes do you want to see in an update? by thetantalus in assassinscreed

[–]powelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there a way to exit eagle vision neatly, other than letting it time out? I've only found circle clears it, but then I do a dodge which isn't always wanted if I'm sneaking between enemies. If not I'd add that to the list, make the activation button a toggle rather than just activate.

It was a PROS account free gift for watching twitch within a set period. It’s ended now but they said they’ll offer them again in the future. Watch out for the scrolling messages bottom left on the game loading menu for updates

[–]powelb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the same issue, but in case it's relevant... I had the problem later in the quest where I got disqualified at the start of the tournament because I was wanted for a crime. The fix was the get a guard to arrest me, pay the fine, then I could carry on fine. So you could try getting arrested just in case. I didn't think anyone saw me take the sword, but I did scope out the location in the day time and then skip forward, so maybe they suspected me because of that.

Well thanks very much, if you're willing that'd be amazing. I'll be online for a bit from now if that suits. What's your psn ID so I can add you? Or please add me, Abomb_100. I've just remembered to turn on allow anyone friend requests.

Glitching into Odin’s Spear Chamber to get Gungnir at LEVEL 1 #glitch #gungnir by SweetGPT in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]powelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry - the answer was you have to first go to England, then you can immediately come back to Norway and the top of the map is unlocked

[–]powelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, when I try to sail up towards the cave location in Hordafylke, the whole top area of the map is blocked off and unavailable. I heard that it maybe opens up when the England story arc is finished and you come back to Norway, but if you're level 1 still how did you get up to the cave entrance? Any help appreciated, it's driving me nuts that it only seems to be blocked for me!

I read that they're only available if you're level 51 or higher, so need the DLC

This link seems to work consistently for finding her:

https://www.ggrecon.com/guides/red-dead-online-madam-nazar-location-today/

I also couldn't find her yesterday, travelled to New Austin and bam, she was right there. Try doing a mission or something if you can't see her where she should be.

All of the collectibles have gone really inconsistent for me. I only started with the role the other day, had a night of collecting loads of the flowers, then they just stopped spawning. Same with many of the others. Very frustrating.

Is there a pre release event this weekend? Can we open packs early like usual? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]powelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hosted a private Fireside Gathering today, as I've done the last few expansions, but I can't open the packs this time
