So You Want to Channel Your Inner Thor? A (Slightly Unorthodox) Guide to Acquiring Mjolnir in AC Valhalla... Like, ASAP
Let's face it, wielding Thor's legendary hammer Mjolnir in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is pretty darn epic. You've got the lightning effects, the earth-shattering throws, the undeniable confidence boost that comes with storming into battle with a weapon literally named "Crusher." But the game wants you to jump through hoops like a fire-dancing poodle before you can unleash your inner god of thunder. Fear not, aspiring Odinsons, because this guide will crack the code on getting Mjolnir... maybe not early exactly, but definitely before everyone else at your next cosplay convention.
Disclaimer: This approach involves a healthy dose of exploration and a smidge of ignoring the natural order of the game. Proceed with caution (and maybe a side of lutefisk for emotional fortitude).
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Tourist (with a Hidden Blade)
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.![]()
First things first, you'll need all five pieces of Thor's armor. Now, the game intends for you to, you know, actually play the story to get those. But we're here to rewrite the rules, right? So, grab your fanciest travel cloak and set sail for the Daughters of Lerion scattered across the map. These formidable ladies are essentially mini-bosses, so be prepared for a fight that'll make Freya hold your mead.
Pro-Tip: While you're sightseeing and smiting these legendary ladies, keep an eye out for members of the Order of Ancients. Taking them out also contributes to the whole "Thor's armor" business. Just think of it as collecting souvenirs... morbid souvenirs.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.![]()
Step 2: The Forbidden Zone (and How toSneak In Anyway)
Alright, with the armor in your satchel (hopefully you weren't using it as a carry-on), it's time for the main event: snagging Mjolnir itself. The hammer resides in a region of Norway called Hordafylke, a place that's firmly locked away until much later in the game. But hey, who needs locked doors when you've got a Viking with a determination that rivals a particularly stubborn goat?
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.![]()
Here's the tricky part: you'll need to exploit some wonky map glitches (which, let's be honest, are practically a rite of passage in open-world games). There are a few methods out there, but a quick internet search for "AC Valhalla Hordafylke glitch" should set you on the right path. Just be warned, this might involve some creative swimming, some questionable physics, and possibly a moment of "wait, am I even supposed to be here?" existential dread.
Step 3: Claim Your Prize (and Maybe Apologize to Odin Later)
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.![]()
Congratulations! You've defied the boundaries of space and time (and possibly the game's developers), and Mjolnir is within reach. Just approach the hammer and... well, that's where things get interesting. See, without completing the intended quests, you might not be able to actually pick up Mjolnir. But hey, at least you got a trophy selfie, right?
So, there you have it! A slightly unorthodox, possibly glitch-ridden, but undeniably adventurous path to acquiring Mjolnir. Remember, this might not be the most traditional way to play, but who needs tradition when you can become a legend by, well, breaking the rules.
P.S. Don't tell Odin we told you this.
