If you're looking to add the Valhalla Saint George armor to your collection, you've come up to the correct place. Thing is, it's a reward that's sectional to the new River Raids mode, and you've got plenty of pillaging to practise in that before you can nab this legendary Air-conditioning Valhalla armor (opens in new tab) set.

In the new mode you tin helm the Drakkar through a new gear up of mini maps, or 'Rivers'. There you'll exist raiding with Jomsviking to get resources to upgrade your new Jomsviking Hall, acquire new Book of Knowledge abilities, and, of course, pick up the gear of an English saint. However, it'southward possible for your raiding chums to dice and disappear for the remainder of your raid, and information technology's possible you can lose everything you stole if everything goes pear-shaped.

And so in this AC Valhalla River Raids gear guide, I'm going to show you how to start the new mode, discover the clues you need to notice the Saint George armor, and how y'all can get in yours.

How to start the Air conditioning Valhalla River Raids

The quest that starts you off on the new mode should appear after you download the River Raids update (i.1.two). In it you'll meet Vagn, a member of some other association who wants to fight (and presumably get rich) with y'all. You'll also be invited to experience the last moments of Viking hero, Ragnar Lothbrok, and then long every bit yous've killed all the Valhalla Lost Drengr (opens in new tab)—take a expect at my Valhalla Ragnar Lothbrok guide (opens in new tab) for more on that.

Anyhow, you're here for the river raiding. Before you start, y'all'll need to have at least left Norway and founded your own settlement, Ravensthorpe. If you're new to the game, this shouldn't take more than an hour or 2 to get to from the game's outset. You'll also demand to have built the barracks in Ravensthorpe. That's when Vagn's surface area of your settlement appears. Y'all should also note that, while the first River Raids mission suggests a minimum of 89 Power, y'all may find that'south insufficient if you want all the rewards hidden within these new mini maps.

Next you lot'll be sent off on a tutorial raid. Here the game volition requite you a few tips and bear witness you the basics of raiding—it's similar to what you've washed in the main game, but with added stakes and a few new mechanics. Y'all'll quickly run out of storage to pilfer new stuff and the game will push you to return to base, so do that and so you can properly start. From there you'll have a choice of 2 rivers to explore—Exe and Severn—and a mystery to pursue.)

Afterward your tutorial raid, Vagn tells you about a mythical armor prepare, that might non be and then mythical after all. Just earlier you can take it to a plumbing equipment room, you'll need to track down 2 clues, one in the River Exe map, and the other in Severn. Unlike some of the rewards you'll pursue in the River Raids these locations are fixed.

The locations are both monasteries, one of three types of area y'all'll be razing to the ground. In these chapels you'll find map clues and new abilities from Books of Knowledge. In civilian spots y'all'll get supplies to heal your Jomsviking, and Foreign Supplies, and military forts incorporate new gear.

Back to the clues. Here'south where you can detect them:

Valhalla River Exe map clue
You'll take explored a minor section of this in the tutorial, but behave on and bear right (northeast) from spawn and you lot'll eventually detect Escanceaster Monastery on your correct. In the largest church building you'll find the clue on a table at the dorsum of the chapel, in a corner.

Valhalla River Severn map clue
You lot couldn't actually have further to travel for this one. From your spawn point in the southwest, the Northern Monastery is in the far northeast corner. Once you've made the journey, again head for the largest building at the tiptop of the loma. Just be prepared for many soldiers backside the door to emerge as y'all open up information technology. I lost a few buddies that style. I they've been sent to Valhalla, look left to see a grill. Use your bow to shoot through information technology and open the barred door on the other side. Then get back on yourself and caput exterior, run around the outside of the chapel, and pinch the map clue inside.

With both clues acquired, pay Vagn another visit: this unlocks the third River, Dee. Now y'all'll exist able to outset hunting for the Saint George gear.

AC Valhalla Saint George armor: How to get information technology

Now this is where things get a petty tricky. It seems as if the spots in which y'all'll find each office of the Saint George ready are randomised, only there's a simple manner of narrowing your searches. If the proper noun of the place you're about to invade is generic (recall 'Small Town') so you lot won't exist finding legendary gear here. Instead the named and intimidatingly fortified destinations are the places for which you should be saving your Jomsviking. That said, don't ignore smaller settlements entirely: the healing materials y'all'll become from them will come up in handy in bigger battles.

Here are the randomised Saint George rewards, so y'all tin can make sure you've grabbed the full drove:

Greatcoat
Groovy Helm
Armor
Bracers
Trousers
Tower Shield

The exception is the Saint George Holy Sword: you get that from a split mission Vagn gives you when you unlocked the 3rd river map, in which you take to defeat a boss at the end of a big raid.

Air-conditioning Valhalla River Raids gear: Everything else you can get

But that's non everything you can get from River Raids. At many sites in these three new environments y'all tin can find Strange Supplies, which you can employ to trade with Vagn dorsum at Ravensthorpe for tattoos and send cosmetics—information technology's 150 for each of the former, 200 for the latter.

Then there are the new abilities. Here's what they are, and where to detect them (their locations are fixed, too:

Shoulder Bash (Island Monastery, River Severn): To the right of the biggest buildings as you approach them, slide through the wall at the bottom of the ditch. Shoot the door ahead and accept a right.
Battle Cry (Cliffside Monastery, River Dee): Head through the big curvation and head right up the hill path. Beneath the scaffolding, slide below the pigsty in the wall to access the Volume of Cognition room.
Berserker Trap (Riverside Monastery, River Dee): On the far eastward side of the area, at that place's some other ditch, and some other pigsty in the wall through which you lot can slide. Caput straight ahead and destroy some other door lock with your bow. The Book of Knowledge is once again on your right.
