00:00 There are nine legendary animals in the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and they are
00:18 some of the toughest fights you'll come across. However, slaying them will net you
00:22 an item reward as thanks, and a trophy at the Hunter's Hut in Ravensthorpe. Just speak
00:28 to Wallace when you've killed one, and the trophy will be mounted in the Longhouse.
00:32 These legendary challenges are marked on the map with a blue paw print symbol when you
00:36 get close enough, but from a distance you'll only see a standard blue mystery dot, so we're
00:41 here to help you find them.
00:43 The fights are tough, as you'd expect, so make sure you've got your best gear equipped
00:47 and a full stack of rations and arrows. As with any big enemy, dodge the heavy, unblockable
00:53 attacks and learn their attack patterns. The most important thing is to make the most of
00:58 your ranged abilities to keep out of reach. An essential skill for slaughtering high-level
01:02 creatures is the Focus of Nornir. Once it's upgraded, you can use your Stamina Bar to
01:07 fire high-powered arrows into furry hides in slow motion.
01:12 So without further ado, if you'll please excuse my attempts at pronouncing the English
01:16 town names, here are the nine legendary animal locations in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
01:21 Elk of Bloody Peaks, Rigefilke. The first and easiest legendary animal is the Elk of
01:27 Bloody Peaks, found in the starting region of Rigefilke. You can find it in the southern
01:31 mountains next to a huge waterfall.
01:34 Black Shuck, East Anglia. The Black Shuck is a rabid wolf and you can find it in the
01:39 south-east corner of East Anglia, past Bajorda Rixworth. He's one of the easier legendary
01:45 animals in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, so just keep plugging away and keep dodging.
01:50 The Corpse Feeders, Oxenfordshire. The Corpse Feeders are in Oxenfordshire, north-east of
01:55 Buckingham and west of the Synchronisation Point. And yes, that's Feeders. These are
02:00 three wolves, each with their own health bars and desire to rip your throat out. Keep far
02:05 away and keep zooming around picking up arrows from the corpses of those who have tried before.
02:10 These three love grabbing you, and you'll have to hammer RB to get them to let go. Again,
02:15 those melee ranged abilities are a gift from the Norse gods here.
02:19 Gemadwulf, Lincolnshire. Not far south of Grimsby is where you'll find the wolf, close
02:24 to another blue dot on the map. This particular battle takes place in a nice big arena, but
02:30 our wolfy pal brings in some of his friends to help with a howl. Use disposing of those
02:34 as a way to stock up some abilities, and then let loose on the Gemadwulf to get him out
02:39 of the way fast and get his head on your longhouse wall.
02:43 Elfrid's Battlesow, Sussex. You can find this in the south-west of Corindine in Sussex,
02:49 right next to Tuica's Farm. It's worth noting here that this isn't actually a pig
02:53 as you'd expect from the name - it's a really, really angry bull, and it brings in
02:58 all of its penmates to the fight. While the other horned creatures are useful for building
03:02 a combo and filling your ability bar, you don't need to kill everything in the pen
03:05 to win. Focus on the big bad and then, uh, hoof it out of there once he's down, and
03:11 you've got your trophy to take back to Wallace at the Hunter's Hut.
03:14 Beast of the Hills, Syrupshire. Sightbang in the middle of Syrupshire is where you want
03:19 to head for this bear. He's hidden underground east of the Rocken and west of Wenlican Abbey.
03:25 Keep an eye out for an entrance on the side of the hill - this particular arena is indoors,
03:29 so make sure you have enough arrows and rations.
03:32 Wildcats of the Weald, Hamptonshire. Feline Double Trouble is lurking in the highest level
03:38 area of Hamptonshire, in the shape of two lynxes. Keep using your abilities, keep light
03:43 on your feet, make sure you've got plenty of arrows and you shouldn't have to be at
03:47 the expected level to better these two wildcats.
03:50 The Blood Swine, Jorvikshire. In the furthest south section, just over the river from Snottingham
03:56 and west of Fiskarton, is where you'll find the Blood Swine. Again, even below level this
04:01 is possible, as long as you keep using Odin's sight to make sure you always know where he's
04:06 charging from.
04:07 A quick warning before the last one - the final legendary animal has minor spoilers
04:11 if you haven't finished the quest with Valkyr, called In Dreams. Stop watching here if you've
04:16 not reached that point.
04:18 Steinbjorn, Jotunheim. After completing the Asgard storyline, when you get to Jotunheim,
04:24 the hardest legendary animal can be found here. This is Steinbjorn, and is directly
04:28 north of the synchronisation point. This is the hardest legendary animal in the game,
04:33 at power level 400, so you might want to do a little bit of level grinding first before
04:38 you show up at his gate.
04:39 So those are the 9 legendary animals you'll have to face to become the ultimate Viking.
