Calling All Wannabe Rolands: How to Snag the Legendary Durendal in AC Valhalla
You, a mighty Viking warrior, have plundered your way across England, leaving a trail of stunned Saxons and questionable interior design choices in your wake. But something is missing. That nagging feeling? You yearn for a weapon worthy of your legend, something that screams "don't mess with Eivor" louder than a longship horn during rush hour. Well, fret no more, because this guide will turn you into a walking advertisement for Durendal, the short sword that'll make even the most epic loot goblin jealous.
How To Get Durendal Ac Valhalla |
First things first: You NEED the Siege of Paris DLC
Think of the Durendal as the VIP section of Valhalla's weaponry. You gotta have the golden ticket (or the season pass, in this case) to experience its glory. Don't worry, it's totally worth braving some fancy French folk and their irritatingly well-maintained fortifications.

The Great Durendal Grab: A Not-So-Epic Quest
Here's the beauty of this legendary blade: unlike Excalibur, you won't need to pull it out of a soggy stone while a gaggle of nobles gawk at you. The Durendal retrieval involves minimal effort and zero damsels in distress.

-
Set Sail for Francia: Grab your favorite longship and set course for the land of croissants and questionable fashion choices (France, for those playing at home).
-
Evresin Awaits: Once you're on French soil, hightail it to the Evresin region. It'll be on your fancy map, so getting lost is about as likely as a Saxon poet composing a halfway decent epic.
-
Aquila: Where Eagles Dare (and Short Swords Are Hidden) Keep your eyes peeled for a small town called Aquila. Don't worry, it won't put up much of a fight.
-
Follow the Gear Whisperer: Look for the sparkly chest icon on your minimap. That's your treasure map leading to the fabulous Durendal.
-
Well, Well, Well... What Do We Have Here? You'll find the chest nestled snugly at the bottom of a well. No need to worry about any creepy well-dwellers (unless you count that slightly disappointed frog). Just climb down and claim your prize!
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a short sword that's got more history than your grumpy grandpa.
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.![]()
Bonus Tip: There's a slight chance a grumpy snake might be sharing the well with your new treasure. Just give it a friendly poke with your shiny new sword. It'll understand.

With the Durendal in your arsenal, you'll be a one-man (or woman) wrecking crew. Just remember, with great power comes even greater responsibility. Use this legendary blade wisely, and who knows, you might even write your own saga worthy of bards for generations to come!
