The Forgotten Saga, the much anticipated free DLC in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is finally here for players who have been waiting to play it. As a free DLC, anyone who owns the base game is eligible to play the roguelike version of Valhalla. However, you will get to begin the DLC in the game itself. In this guide, we will take you through the process of how to start The Forgotten Saga in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Forgotten Saga – Start New DLC Quest
There is a lot of new content in the additional download to the game which includes a host of new enemies, bosses and weapons. It continues from the point of the last expansion, which was Dawn of Ragnarok, and makes it a seamless and fun experience for new players to try out.
The roguelike genre is getting more and more popular in gaming, so it’s no wonder that some games have alternate modes in roguelike mode for those who just can’t get enough. This means that the game is designed for multiple playthroughs, and no two runs are the same. You will not be carrying over your equipment from the main game, but will start with some randomized weapons and basic gear. The more you progress in the DLC, the more you can upgrade your gear.
To begin the DLC, you will need to progress through the main story of the base game and visit Valhalla for the first time. You will need to complete the quest A Gift From The Otherworld, where you have to speak to the craftsman Everold. After a sample of his potion, you will be transferred to Niflheim to begin the Forgotten Saga DLC.
While there are no further requirements, absolute beginners might have to play for a while before they get to the point in the story where they reach Valhalla, after which it’s all smooth sailing.
