Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Where to go first

When you first start the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you'll go through the introductory quest to learn about Odin's purpose in Svartalfheim and the Hugr-Rip. Shortly after leaving the Jordlber Shelter, however, you are presented to the entirety of Svartalfheim, with no specific route for you to follow. You're about to embark on an open-world adventure. Where do you go immediately after beginning Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok?

You have a number of options available to you. We propose merely walking and researching the various Synchronization sites found across Svartalfheim for individuals who love exploring and learning about the world available to them.

These spots allow you to easily navigate about the map and observe all that is available to you. We normally recommend this for any game with a substantial open-world component, and outside of the original game, Dawn of Ragnarok has by far the largest open-world area.

Following that are the Dwarf Shelters, which are used in the main task Seeking Shelter. This is the sole assignment you'll have after leaving Jordlber Shelter, and it's also the only direct arrow that will point you in the right direction when Ragnarok fully begins. These Shelters are marked by a little mountain with housing icons and can be found all over the planet. This is the quickest way to advance the plot.

There are also Raid places to be found. You can participate in various Raids by exploring the rivers in Svartalfheim. You'll be able to attack various areas for valuable materials, making it easier to upgrade your Hugr-Rip and unlocking a number of skills that will let you access certain locations or avoid foes.
