So You Want to Reap Havoc? A Guide to Getting Scythes in Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Ah, Valhalla. Land of Vikings, epic raids, and apparently, a surprising abundance of scythes. You, a seasoned (or maybe just seasonally enthusiastic) raider, have decided to ditch the axe and embrace the elegance – and decapitating efficiency – of a good ol' fashioned grim reaper tool. But where, oh where, do you find these delightful death-dealing implements? Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood Valhalla veteran (with a penchant for the dramatic), am here to guide you through the glorious world of scythe-quisition.
Method 1: Embrace the Story, Earn the Spooky Hardware
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
- Main Story Shenanigans: That's right, folks! Progressing through the wonderful narrative of Valhalla can net you a scythe. During the main story quest "Majesty in the Dark", you'll find yourself spelunking through some creepy bishop's chambers (bishops, amirite?). Just follow the glowy quest marker and this bad boy will practically fall into your lap. No blood, sweat, or tears required (although there might be some from the bishop... whoops).
Method 2: Chest-Cracking Capers - The Wealthy Reaper's Delight
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
- Loot Like a Loot-Loving Viking: Now, if you're the kind of Eivor who prefers a more "hands-on" approach to acquisition (read: bashing things open), then fret not! There's a Wealth Chest containing a scythe just waiting to be plundered. Head to the "Pontem" area in the Amiens Region (south of the fast travel point, for those geographically challenged). Just a friendly reminder: those chests aren't exactly fond of being pried open with your bare hands, so pack some lockpicks or, you know, an axe.
Method 3: The Community Challenge Caper (Time Sensitive! But Totally Worth It!)
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.

- Become a Part of Something Bigger (and Sharper): Every now and then, Ubisoft throws the good people of Valhalla a community challenge. In a past challenge, all players had to collectively rack up a certain number of enemy takedowns. Think a global Viking whack-a-mole tournament. If you participated (or heck, even if you just hopped on the bandwagon at the last minute), you might have scored yourself the Eclipse Scythe. This beauty boasts a special ability that increases your critical chance with each non-critical hit. Basically, the more you miss, the more likely you are to land a head-lopping crit – which, let's be honest, is exactly how most of our Viking careers go anyway.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.

Bonus Tip: The Fashion Reaper
- Look Good While Reaping Good: While you're out there becoming a master of the scythe, don't forget to complete the Reaper Armor Set. Equip all five pieces along with your scythe, and then go forth and stylishly eliminate your foes. Just remember, looking good is half the battle (the other half is probably a well-timed dodge or two).
There you have it, warriors! With these tips, you'll be a scythe-wielding terror in no time. Remember, the key to Valhalla-n scythe-dom is a healthy dose of exploration, a sprinkle of story progression, and maybe a dash of community spirit (if the challenge gods are smiling). Now go forth and reap what you sow... with style, of course!
