00:00.
00:03Dive deep into Niflheim and take on the epic challenge of our new free game mode,
00:08Assassin's Creed Valhalla Forgotten Saga.
00:15Odin returns in this roguelite inspired experience in a quest to defy fate and overcome hell.
00:21To prepare you for the challenges ahead, we have 5 things you need to know before playing Forgotten Saga.
00:26As the roguelite inspired mode is a first for AC, we're going to cover everything you'll need to make the
00:32most out of each run.
00:38As you descend through the four regions of Niflheim, you'll be faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
00:43But rest assured, hidden throughout the world are secrets that will improve your chances of survival.
00:48Each battle will make you stronger.
00:50But to make the most out of your time in Forgotten Saga, keep a keen eye out for the secret
00:54areas during your journey.
00:55You can find hidden buffs throughout the regions that, once you've managed to defeat the enemy guarding it,
01:00will grant Odin permanent upgrades that persist for each run.
01:03As well, you can find secret merchants that will allow you to trade coins gathered from your run for new
01:09gear,
01:09runes, upgrades, and abilities.
01:11And remember to explore your surroundings, you might just find the upgrades you need.
01:20Your gear plays an important role in Forgotten Saga, as you won't have access to the armor you've collected throughout
01:25your journey across England.
01:27Once you enter the realm of Niflheim, you will need to rely on what you find to progress.
01:32Each gear set you unlock is equipped with specific perks that cater to a variety of playstyles.
01:37Some gear will lean more towards a stealth approach, while others will make you deadly at range.
01:42Selecting the gear set that fits your strengths will play a huge part in your success.
01:46If you haven't found the gear that fits you, keep pushing further in your runs, explore secret areas, or check
01:51with merchants.
01:53While your weapons are completely randomized for each attempt, your gear set will always remain, so test out different compositions
01:59until you find what works for you.
02:06There are many paths to success in Forgotten Saga, and it will be up to you to make lasting choices
02:10that will decide the route each run will take.
02:13With branching traversal options, and no backtracking between areas, you will need to think carefully about how to increase your
02:19odds of making it to the end,
02:21Do you push straight to the next area, or perhaps take a detour to face some more enemies and risk
02:26losing some health to break open a lockbox?
02:29Branching paths aren't the only decisions you will make.
02:32Ahead of each run, you will have to confirm your gear, choose your favors, and commit to the approach for
02:37the next attempt.
02:38And when it comes to offensive options, picking up a new weapon mid-run will destroy the one you currently
02:42have,
02:43so make sure you are certain it's a worthy trade before you start replacing weapons.
02:47You will live, and more than likely, die, based on these decisions.
02:51So always keep experimenting, and don't be afraid to take risks, because...
02:59Dying is a normal part of your journey through Niflheim.
03:03Enemies are tough, losses are relentless, and sometimes you're just going to make a bad decision.
03:07That's okay. Death is an important opportunity to refresh your approach, change or upgrade your gear, and ultimately, to continue
03:14to get better.
03:14Any skills you unlock while in the hub will persist even after death, so each run will allow you to
03:20push further and further into the four regions.
03:22But there are larger implications to death in this new mode.
03:26With each death, you may encounter familiar faces who have come to confront Odin about his foolish conquest.
03:31Do not fear the idea of dying mid-run.
03:34It will only make you stronger and better positioned to emerge triumphant next time.
03:43Odin's journey in Forgotten Saga will see him encounter a variety of mysterious figures in Niflheim that, if you assist
03:49them, can provide amazing rewards.
03:51Keep in mind though, some of these side quests cannot be completed in a single run, so be sure to
03:56develop a keen strategy to maximize the time you spend in each region.
04:00Coordinating your efforts is going to be the key to optimizing each run and unlocking all the secrets this mode
04:06has to offer.
04:07You are nothing if not persistent, Kavi.
04:11Overcoming Hell and the dangerous enemies of Niflheim won't be an easy task, but we hope that these tips will
04:16be helpful in getting you started.
04:17Remember, before you can access this new free game mode, you will have had to reach the realm of Asgard
04:23during the main campaign.
04:24So if you have, sharpen your axis, select your gear, and get ready to take on the colossal foes in
04:30Assassin's Creed Valhalla Forgotten Saga.
