How to Start Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Forgotten Saga

On August 2nd, Ubisoft released a new free game mode for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla called The Forgotten Saga. This rogue-lite mode introduces a fresh and challenging experience, but you’ll need to complete a few steps before diving in. Follow this guide to learn how to unlock and start The Forgotten Saga.

Step 1: Download Title Update 1.6.0

To access The Forgotten Saga, you must first download Title Update 1.6.0. This update is essential for unlocking the game mode. The file size varies depending on your platform, but for PlayStation 5, it’s approximately 12 GB.

Once the update is installed, launch the game to proceed to the next steps.

Step 2: Visit Asgard (or Have Visited It Before)

To unlock The Forgotten Saga, you need to have visited Asgard at least once in the main game. If you haven’t done this yet, here’s how:

1. Reach Settlement Level 3 and build Valka’s Seer Hut.
2. Complete the In Dreams… questline by gathering the required plants for Valka.
3. Drink the potion Valka prepares to travel to Asgard.

Once you’ve been to Asgard, you’ll receive an in-game notification that unlocks the game mode. This also starts a new quest called A Gift From the Otherworld in your settlement.

Step 3: Speak to Everold, the New Craftsman

After triggering the quest, head to the east side of your settlement, near the bridge, where you’ll find a new NPC, Everold.

1. Speak to Everold to receive a mead horn.
2. After the interaction, Everold’s Workshop will be built automatically.

Enter the workshop and drink the potion sitting on a barrel to initiate a cutscene. When the cutscene ends, you’ll find yourself in the hub area of the game mode called Odin’s Camp.

Step 4: Begin Your Run in The Forgotten Saga

From Odin’s Camp, you can explore the hub area and prepare for your first run. To start:

1. Use the gate in the camp to return to Everold in the settlement.
2. Speak with Everold, who will explain the new mechanics and show you his inventory. You can purchase items from him using the game mode’s unique currency, Dreams.
3. Re-enter the dream world and jump off the large ledge near the armor area to begin your first run.

Good luck surviving the trials of The Forgotten Saga!
