So You Want to Wield a Fish? A Guide to Acquiring the Swordfish in Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Ah, Valhalla. Land of Vikings, Valkyries, and... giant swordfish? You see, unlike other Assassin's Creed games where you collect fancy hidden blades and whatnot, Valhalla lets you swing a literal swordfish into battle. Now, that's what I call a conversation starter.
But before you go all "Moby Dick" on unsuspecting Saxons, here's a guide on how to snag this, shall we say, unique weapon.
Step 1: Befriend the Fishing Guy (and His Wife, Probably)
First things first, you need to unlock the Fishing Hut in your settlement, Ravensthorpe. This requires leveling your settlement up to level 2. Basically, gotta build a place to house your giant fish dreams. Once it's built, chat up the cheery fellow there. He might not look like much, but trust me, this guy holds the key to fishy fury.

Step 2: The Not-So-Fun Part: The Grind is Real
This is where things get interesting. To earn the Swordfish, you gotta complete all 20 of the Fishing Hut's deliveries. Yes, you read that right. 20. Get ready to spend some serious quality time with your fishing rod, because this ain't catching a goldfish at the fair.

Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This is a grind. But hey, think of it as a chance to relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe even catch some dinner for your crew (though, I wouldn't recommend the Swordfish itself).
Step 3: Fishy Fetch Quests: A Collection of Aquatic Antics
The Fishing Guy (seriously, needs a name) won't just ask you to catch any old guppy. He'll send you on a merry chase across England and Norway, demanding specific types and sizes of fish. We're talking big eels, hefty salmon, and the elusive (and probably grumpy) giant flatfish.

Subheading: Pro Tip: Patience is Your Best Bait
Some fish are rarer than a Saxon with good manners. Don't get discouraged if you don't catch your target right away. Just keep at it, and eventually, that fishy fiend will be yours.
Step 4: The Glorious Reward: Behold, the Mighty Swordfish!
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.![]()
After all that bobbing, casting, and probably swearing at the screen, you'll finally have it: the Swordfish. This beauty is a two-handed greatsword, and let me tell you, it's a sight to behold. Imagine the look on your enemies' faces when you come charging at them with a giant fish strapped to your back. Priceless.
So there you have it! A not-so-serious guide to acquiring the one and only Swordfish in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Remember, the journey may be fishy, but the reward is oh-so-sweet (or should I say salty?). Now go forth and conquer England, one giant fish swing at a time!
