Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: River Raids and Rewards Explained

Since February 16, 2021 you can start river raids in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in several new areas. We explain to you what you have to consider and what rewards await you.

This is how you start a river raid

In Hraefnathorp you will find a longship on the south-east bank of the rivernear you Vagn expected. Once you’ve talked to this one, it will Jomskai erected, from which you can start your river raids.

On your first foray, Vagn will take you by the hand to teach you all the basics. Once you’ve completed the raid, you can always return to Vagn on Jomskai to start more river raids.

Which area: Exe or Saefern?

There are two areas to choose from for your river raids. At the beginning it doesn’t matter which area you start with. In order to complete the associated quests, however, you have to visit both regions regularly.

Both Exe and Saefern are parts of the Hiding armor of St. George. You can find these in the large soldiers’ camps. In the monasteries you will also find information on where exactly to look on the map. Bring these clues back to Vagn to mark the locations on the map.

Changes regularly between the areas: As soon as you have attacked Exe or Saefern, the vigilance increases in the corresponding region. You can expect greater resistance on your next river raid. Therefore, it is advisable to carry out your next looting in the other area so that vigilance can drop again.

Yomswikings: hiring, training and death

In order for your river raids to be successful, you need to hire skilled Yomswikings. First build the Jomswikingerhalle next to the Jomskai. At the beginning this is only visited by weak Jom Vikings of level 1. As soon as you go on your raids 200 foreign goods have collected, you can However, upgrade the Jomswikingerhalleto attract stronger fighters.

Note that high-level Yomswikings also cost more pay. If you don’t like any of the available fighters, you can ring the bell next to the Yomswikingerhalle to summon new recruits.

Level 1 Vikings cost little, but they can also be easier to fight. Deceased Jomsvikings cannot be resuscitated. However, if fighters on your team go down during a fight, you can save them by healing them in time. So always keep an eye out for the red warning symbol.
