Key information about AC Valhalla trophies
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla has 51 trophies – 1 platinum (only available on PS4/PS5), 1 gold trophy, 14 silver, and 35 bronze.
- The platinum trophy in AC Valhalla is very time-consuming. Obtaining it will definitely take you more than 100 hours. This is mainly due to the silver trophy Completionist All the Way! which forces you to complete of all territories. This simply means that you have to find 100% collectibles and complete 100% of the activities available in the game.
- You can play at any level of difficulty, including low settings for fighting, stealth, and exploring. This also applies to the achievement Overdesign 2 achievement - despite the description, it can be obtained on any difficulty level.
- All trophies are obtained in single player mode. AC Valhalla has some social elements including limited interactions with other players (e.g. Recruiting Jomsvikings of other players), but none of them are related to trophies.
- There are no trophies associated with choices and different endings of the game. You can choose any option in quests where Eivor has to make an important decision. Your choices won't cross your chances of unlocking an achievement. It should be noted that the game does not allow you to repeat missions, but trophies unrelated to progress in the main story can be unlocked during a world exploration.
- The remaining trophies are not very problematic. A lot of them are related to the main storyline. Several achievements also include acquiring legendary items, such as the Excalibur or Thor's hammer. You can get them by searching for secrets and discovering the map of the world.

You have to spend the crafting materials to build Valka's hut (800 building materials and 60 raw materials), as well as to find the plants to prepare the potions (the In Dreams... quest). This will allow you to "teleport" to Asgard for the first time and take the quests in this unique location.

Disorder of the Ancients
Trophy type: gold
How to unlock: Eliminate all targets of the Order of Ancients.
Comment: Eliminating members of Order of the Ancients (ancestors of the Templars) is very similar to killing the Eyes of Kosmos cultists of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. To unlock the option of hunting for Order of the Ancients members, you must set up a Hidden Ones bureau in the settlement. Hytham will explain to Eivor all the details about the Order of the Ancients.
In a separate tab in the pause menu, you will find members of the Order of the Ancients tree. You must identify them by finding traces, reaching their whereabouts, and then kill them. There is a total of 45 people to murder (30 members of the order and 15 zealots). The Order of the Ancients is described more thoroughly in a separate chapter of the guide.
Rampage
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Complete your first raid in England.
Comment: The trophy will be unlocked automatically when you complete a part of the main storyline of the game. Soon after you arrive in England for the first time, you will receive another main quest - Settling Down.
One part of the task is to build Gunnar's forge, and for the first time, you have to obtain specific crafting materials. You will receive a mission to attack Alcestre Monastery. During the raid, open all large containers marked on the compass with barrel icons. This will end the raid, and you will receive a trophy.
It's Alive!
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Create a Jomswiking.
Comment: For this trophy, you have to build barracks in Ravensthorpe - you have to spend 400 building materials and 30 raw materials. Barracks are built by the water, near the port.
Right after the barracks are built, you will be able to create your own Jomswiking. You can change its appearance and choose its equipment. This doesn't matter in unblocking the trophy. You will get the achievement just after clicking the button to complete the Jomswiking.
Tranquility
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Complete a Standing Stone puzzle.
Comment: Standing Stones is one of the puzzle types found in the game - information on where to find them is included in our guide in the Secrets section.
To get the trophy, choose any location with Standing Stones. To solve the puzzle, you must position yourself with Eivor in such a place that when you activate Odin's Eyesight, a symbol appears.
Equilibrium
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Complete 3 Cairn challenges.
Comment: Cairns are one of the collectibles found in the game - information on where to find them is included in our guide in the Secrets section.
Choose any 3 locations with cairns. To complete each challenge, you need to place stones on top of each other so that the whole structure does not collapse.
Old School Treasure Hunt
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Collect 5 Treasure Hoard rewards.
Comment: This trophy is about using treasure maps to find secrets. Treasure maps are described in detail in a separate chapter of the guide.
Treasure maps are word riddles or simple drawings. You have to find it and read it in the inventory (quest items category). The content of the document contains a hint of where to look for treasure. In order to unlock the achievement, reach any 5 secrets.
Skadi's Hobby
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Perform a 150m slide in the snow.
Comment: This achievement is described more thoroughly on a separate page of the trophy guide.
Witch Hunter
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Defeat one Daughter of Lerion.
Comment: Daughter of Lerion are optional bosses in the game. They have some sort of paranormal abilities which make eliminating them much harder than dealing with "regular" bosses or zealots.
Goneril is the least challenging Daughter of Lerion. Her lair is shown in the picture - it is located in the northeastern corner of the Grantebridgescire region.
Goneril has 90 Power points. Due to the fact that the battle with her is very challenging, it is recommended to face her once your character is at least twice stronger. You should also take with you as much adrenaline and food as possible.
Equine Attack
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Assassinate an enemy from your horse.
Comment: We have described this achievement in more detail on a separate page of the trophy guide.
Silent Viking
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Assassinate 10 enemies in a row without triggering a conflict.
Comment: This is not a very demanding trophy. To unlock it, choose any location with a large number of opponents and who will not expect an appearance of Eivor (so it can't be an open attack on the fort or monastery).
Kill enemies using a Hidden Blade and stay undetected in the meantime (so that the red detection marker doesn't appear). It's worth to hide in the high grass and whistle to pull away individual opponents.
Everyday Life
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Complete 10 World Events.
Comment: Events are one of the secrets on the world map - they are all kinds of small quests, for example, in which we can do someone a favor.
During the game, you will surely complete much more than 10 events, especially as they are a good way to collect XP. You can find information about the places of events and their course in our walkthrough.
Overdesign 2
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: While on fire during a fight, kill 3 hard difficulty soldiers without breaking their shields.
Comment: The most important point - this one isn't related to playing on hard difficulty level, but to opponent's Power level. It must be much higher than Eivor's level. Such difference in power makes an opponent hard to defeat. For this achievement to count, you must defeat enemies with a red skull icon above their heads.
You can try obtaining this trophy in any region with high Power, for example in Hamtunscire shown in the picture. Suggested Power in that region is 340 points. It is unlikely that you will be able to get close to this level while playing through the campaign. Even if that happens, you can "artificially" reduce Eivor's powers by removing skills from the skill tree.
Soldiers with shields can be most easily encountered at the city entrances, but they can be also found in various military camps. When you encounter them, initiate battle, but don't kill them.
Find a campfire or make a fire, for example by setting an oil puddle on fire or by using an explosive arrow. Your objective is to set Eivor on fire. Once you achieve it, finish the fight with the enemies with shields.
This trophy can be obtained easier when playing on easy difficulty level. Lower difficulty level will reduce the risk of dying due to successful attacks of enemies with higher Power. Additionally, Eivor won't be losing health as quickly after he/she is knocked down.
Completionist All the Way!
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Complete all territories.
Comment: This is by far the most time-consuming trophy in the game. It requires completing all territories/regions in 100%, i.e. to find and gain/complete all secrets and optional activities.
Information about progress in completing the region is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. Separate progress bars are dedicated to Wealth, Mysteries, and Artifacts. Information about what is included in each of these categories can be found on a separate page Multi-colored points on the map from the FAQ chapter.
Row Rage
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Ram and destroy 5 boats in under 2 minutes with your longship.
Comment: We have described this achievement in more detail on a separate page of the trophy guide.
We're in the End Game Now
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Reach Power 280.
Comments: The hero's power is increased by gaining new skill points and spending them on the skill tree. Skill points can be earned primarily through advance to higher levels of experience, but also by completing Standing Stones.
For more information and hints, see the Suggested Power and Acquiring XP faster.
A Picture of Grace
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Run through 30 breakable objects.
Comment: This achievement is described more thoroughly on a separate page of the trophy guide.
Builder
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Reach settlement level 6.
Comment: The Ravensthorpe Settlement can be upgraded by expanding it by putting more buildings, such as hunters' hut, port, or barracks. You will need a lot of crafting materials for this. You have complete freedom in which order you want to put buildings, although choosing those that use less material allows you to advance a little faster. For more information, see the Settlement chapter.
Home Sweet Home
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Reach settlement level 6.
Comment: This is a more difficult version of the Builder trophy described above. The sixth level is the highest to which Ravensthorpe can be upgraded.
Pioneer
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Reach Vinland.
Comment: This is one of the main story trophies, and you can't miss it.
Home Decor
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Place an item on each settlement cosmetic spot.
Comment: In different parts of the Ravensthorpe settlement, you can find interactive stands, thanks to which you can beautify it with the help of cosmetic items. It doesn't matter which cosmetic item you choose. You can even place the same favorite cosmetic item in all spots.
There are 16 spots in the Settlement where you can choose decorations. Unfortunately, they are not all immediately available. New spots will appear in Ravensthorpe as you progress through the game and construct new buildings.
Not the Norse You're Looking For
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Successfully pass close to a guard in a distrust area by blending with a group of monks.
Comment: This achievement is described more thoroughly on a separate page of the trophy guide.
Face My Might!
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Equip 8 abilities.
Comment: This trophy is related to unlocking new abilities, which you can acquire by finding Books of Knowledge in the game world. In order to unlock the achievement, you must acquire at least 4 Ranged Abilities and 4 Melee Abilities. Assign 4 Ranged and 4 Melee abilities to the pad buttons (X, Square, Triangle, Circle on PS4/PS5).
For more information, see the Abilities page. In our world atlas, you will also find information about where to find Books of Knowledge.
Ultimate Refinement
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Fully upgrade and enhance a piece of gear.
Comment: One of the trophies you will probably get later in the game. It requires obtaining a large number of different raw materials for crafting, including many rarer ones. You can enhance any weapon or any armor from your inventory. Your task is:
- Increasing the quality of an item to a Mythical level. To do so, you must give Gunnar ingots of appropriate quality. We recommend upgrading small armor parts, for example the gloves as in the example shown in the picture. They require only 1 nickel ingot and 1 tungsten ingot in order to upgrade them to Mythical Quality. In case of the weapon, you might require to have 3 pieces of rare types of ingots.
- Purchase all possible upgrades to this item. Crafting materials are used to "finance" upgrades. Sadly, as the items are upgraded, they require more mare materials like fabrics or Titanium Ingots. These types of items are easier to found in endgame regions, the ones with higher Power.
More information can be found on the pages Equipment - how to upgrade?, Ingots and Crafting materials in the FAQ chapter.

You must find all Roman Artifacts and deliver them to Octavian.
Orlog Champion
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Beat all the Orlog players.
Comment: Orlog is the name of a dice mini-game. You can find the first player in Fornburg at the beginning of the game. Others are scattered around the world - look for bone icons mainly in villages and cities.
Remember that you have to win every game. Taking part in a mini-game alone will be insufficient. There are 19 players to beat in Orlog.
Good Catch!
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Catch a fish of each type using the fishing line.
Comment: You can fish only after you built a fisherman's hut in Ravensthorpe. This involves getting a Fishing Line, with which you can reach various fisheries.

Full Masters
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Spend your first Mastery point.

Comment: We have described this achievement in more detail on a separate page of the trophy guide.

How to unlock: Complete all the flytings.
Comments: Flyting is one of the mini-games in the game. These are verbal duels in which your task is to choose the most suitable rhymes for your opponent's statements. The first character you can get into the flyting with is Alvis from Fornburg. You can find more flyting opponents in other regions of the world - look for the mask icon especially in villages and cities.
It's worth to save the game before each flyting, so if you lose, you don't lose your silver. Each successful duel will increase Eivor's charisma by 1.
Caladwlch
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Draw Excalibur from the Stone.
Comment: Excalibur is one of the legendary items in the game. It can be found in a secret location near Stonehenge - specifically the Myrddin's Cave in the Hamtunscire region of England.

- Cent

Master Hunter
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Defeat all Alpha animals.
Comment: Alpha animals are Legendary Animals that have already appeared in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. After finding the lair of an alpha animal, you have to fight with it. This can be compared to a duel with the boss, as every legendary animal has strong attacks and a long health bar.
The hunting lodge in the settlement allows you to track the progress in eliminating the legendary animals. You will find information about the legendary animals' lairs in the Secrets chapter in our guide.
Dreamcatcher
Trophy type: bronze
How to unlock: Destroy 10 Cursed Symbols.

Godly Reward
Trophy type: silver
How to unlock: Obtain Thor's Helmet.
Comment: The Thor's Helmet is a unique artifact that requires some preparation in order to obtain it:
1) You have to kill 3 Daughters of Lerion - they are optional bosses, and we included the places where they reside in our world atlas. Each defeated sister will leave behind a unique ceremonial dagger.
2) You must visit a dungeon in the eastern part of the East England region - this area is marked in the picture. You will find the entrance to the underground in the dungeon.

- You must defeat all members of the Order of the Ancients, including the leader of this group.
- You have to equip all parts of the Thor's Set obtained by completing the previous steps.
Once all of these requirements are met, move as Eivor - Thor to the northern edge of Norway, to the Hordafylke region. There you will find a hammer that can be pulled out of the stone.
