How to Unlock Skadi’s Blade in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Update 1.2.2 of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla introduces the Mastery Challenge, a new game mode that tasks end-game players with completing various missions. To further engage players, Ubisoft is offering an exclusive reward through a weekly Ubisoft Connect challenge: Skadi’s Blade, a unique ice axe. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to unlock Skadi’s Blade, including information on how to access the challenge, the Mastery Challenge mode, and tips for completing the necessary trials.

Ubisoft Connect Skadi’s Blade Weekly Challenge

Each week, players can complete specific challenges for rewards, accessible through the Ubisoft Connect menu in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

To find the challenge, navigate to the Challenges section in the menu, then go to Weekly Challenges. Look for the Skadi’s Blade challenge, which is available only for a limited time, expiring on June 22nd.

How to Get Skadi’s Blade

To unlock this special axe, you first need to participate in the Mastery Challenge mode, which is only available to players who have reached Power Level 221+ and have completed the Uninvited Guests mission. After meeting these prerequisites, you’ll unlock the A Challenge From the Gods mission, which activates the Mastery Challenge mode.

The challenging part comes next: to earn Skadi’s Blade, you must complete one of the challenges with a Gold Medal. This requires near-perfect execution in the trials. For instance, the Wenlocan Outpost Wolf trial is an excellent choice for this. Focus on using explosive barrels and nets to eliminate enemies with secondary damage, which will help you achieve the Gold Medal. Once you complete a challenge with Gold, you can claim Skadi’s Blade through the Challenge menu.

Skadi’s Blade Perks

Skadi’s Blade is a Mythical Dan Axe inspired by the Jotun of winter. It boosts Light Damage when you’re near Full Health. Covered in ice, the blade stands out with its striking, unique design. You can upgrade its stats, but its final appearance unlocks immediately, making it a satisfying weapon to add to your inventory right away.
