So You Want a Viking Vacation with a Fuzzy Friend? How to Snag a Wolf in Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Let's face it, raiding monasteries and pillaging villages in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is all well and good, but sometimes a Viking needs a loyal companion. You know, someone to scratch your back when you're covered in Saxon schmutz, or chase down squirrels that mock your glorious beard. Enter the glorious wolf – a ferocious (but hopefully friendly) addition to your Eivor's crew.
But Fear Not, We Can Help! A Step-by-Step Guide (with Minimal Mayhem)
Here's the thing: unlike that time you "borrowed" the jarl's prized longboat (hey, you were late for a raid!), acquiring a wolf companion involves a tad more cunning and a whole lot less, well, setting things on fire. Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a whimsical quest, Valhalla-style!
1. Befriend a Child (Don't Worry, It's Not Weird This Time)
Your journey begins in the bustling settlement of Ravensthorpe. Now, you might be used to facing down frost giants and whatnot, but this time, your opponent is a bit smaller – a kid named Knud. He'll approach you with a sob story about his friends being stuck in the woods. Don't be fooled by the puppy eyes (though, seriously, those kids are good). This is where the cunning comes in.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
1a. Option A: The Honest Route (Who Are We Kidding?)
Just agree to help. Look, a Viking's gotta maintain a certain image, right? Besides, there might be treasure involved... or maybe cookies?
1b. Option B: The Skeptic's Approach (Because Seriously, Kids)
Feign suspicion. Demand answers. Make Knud sweat a little. But eventually, because deep down you're a good Viking (probably), you'll relent.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
2. Follow the Trail of Lies (But Hopefully Not Tears)
Knud will lead you on a merry chase through the woods, all the while dodging your pointed questions about his "friends." Eventually, you'll reach a seemingly abandoned hunter's cabin. This is where things get interesting.
3. The Key to the Cage (And Maybe the Mystery)
 |
Turns out, the real reason you're here isn't to save some imaginary kids (phew, close one). It's to liberate a wolf trapped inside the cabin! But there's a slight snag – the door is locked, and the key seems to have gone missing. Here's your chance to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes (or, you know, smash the door open like a regular Viking).
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
3a. The Detective's Path (Because Why Not?)
Use your Odin sight to sniff out clues. Explore the cabin, find the poor hunter's journal (betrayal by a boar, classic!), and discover the key's unfortunate location – the belly of a particularly grumpy-looking boar outside.
3b. The Barbarian Shortcut (Hey, It Gets the Job Done)
Just break the door down. Look, subtlety isn't exactly your strong suit. But hey, at least the wolf will appreciate the fresh air.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
4. Freedom! (And Maybe a New Best Friend)
After retrieving the key (or creating a new entrance), free the wolf from its cage. Here's the important part: don't attack the wolf. It's a little traumatized after being stuck in a basement with a grumpy ghost-boar haunting it (okay, maybe not the ghost-boar part, but use your imagination).
5. Battle Buddies for Life (or at Least Until Ragnarok)
After a brief scuffle with some wild wolves (because apparently there's a whole wolf pack living nearby, who knew?), your new furry friend will join you back to Ravensthorpe. Now comes the best part: naming your new companion! Pick something fierce, something funny, or something that reflects your inner Viking spirit.
There you have it! You've successfully acquired a wolf companion, all without resorting to excessive violence (well, minimal violence). Now get out there and conquer England together, you magnificent duo!
