So You Want Charlemagne's Shiny New Short Sword, Eh? A Guide to Getting Joyeuse in Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Ah, the Joyeuse. A short sword steeped in legend, once wielded by the great Charlemagne himself. You, a humble Viking raider, wouldn't be caught dead without it, right? Well, fret not fearless beard-braider, for this guide will turn you from zero to Charlemagne-lite in no time. Just be prepared for some cryptic clues, some creepy crawlies, and a healthy dose of Viking determination.
How To Get Joyeuse Ac Valhalla |
Step 1: Become BFFs with the Hidden Ones (Who?)
First things first, you're gonna need to cozy up to a mysterious group called the Hidden Ones. Think of them as the cool older siblings of the Assassins' Creed universe. Now, these guys are a secretive bunch, so you might have to do some snooping around Paris to find their hangout, a place called the Hidden Ones Bureau.
Pro tip: Finding the Bureau can be tricky, but hey, a little exploration never hurt a Viking, did it? Just keep your eyes peeled for suspicious-looking buildings and any shifty characters hanging around.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.![]()
Alternatively: Skip the real estate hunt and head straight to some Roman ruins scattered around Francia. These crumbling piles of rock hold the key (literally) to unlocking the Hidden Ones Bureau. But that's a story for later.
Step 2: Welcome to the Bureau... But Wait, There's More Keys!
Congratulations! You found the Hidden Ones Bureau. Pat yourself on the back and maybe even braid your beard a little more triumphantly. But hold your mead... there's a catch. The Bureau door is firmly locked tighter than a frozen fjord in February. To open it, you'll need to find three different keys hidden in those Roman ruins we mentioned earlier.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.![]()
Keys? Really? Can't a Viking just break the door down?
Look, we all appreciate a good door-breaking session, but trust us, these keys are important. Think of it like a treasure hunt, with the glorious Joyeuse as your loot!
Tip: Highlight what feels important.![]()
Step 3: The Grand Roman Ruin Key Tour (Prepare for Less Than Thrilling Scenery)
Now, the fun part (sort of). Here's a whistle-stop tour of those delightful Roman ruins where you'll find the keys:
- The Champlieu Ruins: Just outside Paris, this place is practically crawling with history... and probably some disgruntled Romans who lost their keys.
- The Gisacum Ruins: Head to the Evresin region for this one. Expect some lovely scenery (because who doesn't love exploring ancient ruins?) and maybe a few unfriendly surprises.
- The Diodurum Ruins: Nestled in the Melunois region, this ruin might be the most, well, ruined of the bunch. But hey, at least there'll be fewer tourists?
Remember: Each key comes with a bonus ability, so you're basically becoming a super Viking along the way.
Tip: Write down what you learned.![]()
Step 4: Back to the Bureau, Bureaucracy Be Gone!
With all three keys in hand, high-five yourself (or maybe clink your tankard with a buddy). Now, strut on back to the Hidden Ones Bureau and unlock that bad boy. Inside, you'll find a hidden passage (because of course there is) leading to a chest containing the legendary Joyeuse. But watch out, there might be some slithery friends guarding it.
Translation: Kill some snakes, grab the sword, and BAM! You're basically Charlemagne.
Conclusion: You Did It! Now Go Forth and Conquer (But Maybe Not Like a Typical Villain)
There you have it! You've conquered cryptic clues, explored dusty ruins, and even befriended some creepy crawlies (well, maybe not) to claim the legendary Joyeuse. Now go forth and, well, raid some monasteries like a true Viking, but maybe with a touch more finesse thanks to your newfound Charlemagne swagger. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility... to look after your awesome new short sword!
