Ubisoft releases a detailed video guide on how to access The Last Chapter for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla once the final DLC drops early next month.
Ubisoft on Friday released a detailed video guide on how to access The Last Chapter of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. While many avid fans have likely already met the prerequisites for unlocking the game’s final DLC, the newly published video serves as a checklist for those who either haven’t returned to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla since its 2020 launch or have only recently started playing it, but would still like to learn how Eivor’s story ends.
The Last Chapter will be added to the game as part of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla 1.62 update, scheduled to release on December 6. The DLC will serve as an epilogue to Eivor’s story that Ubisoft has been telling through Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for the past two years. A teaser from a couple of months ago confirmed that The Last Chapter will reexamine Eivor’s relationship with Havi, though that’s as far as the developers were willing to comment on the new storyline. Today’s video does mention that this final quest will see the protagonist reunited with “old friends and foes,” but doesn’t elaborate on that vague statement.
Instead, the rest of the video is focused on outlining the prerequisites for accessing The Last Chapter, of which there are four. The most time-consuming requirement is completing the main storyline by pledging allegiance to all of England’s territories, which is a task that will likely take around 60 hours on its own. Next up are the Asgard and Jotunheim quest lines, which can take up to ten hours each. Finally, players will have to eliminate all targets from the Order of the Ancients in order to unveil its leader and bring their settlement up to level five—complete with constructing Jomsviking barracks—before advancing to the epilogue, the video reveals.
Those final two requirements bring the expected playtime for anyone hoping to access The Last Chapter over a 100-hour mark. Whether that’s a reasonable time commitment to present to the players has been the subject of much polarizing discussion among the fandom over the last few years, with many players feeling fatigued with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLC.
Following the imminent narrative conclusion to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft will turn toward finishing the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The next installment in the long-running series was reportedly envisioned as a Valhalla DLC before the project expanded into a full-fledged sequel which is planned to release at some point next year.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available now on Amazon Luna, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The Google Stadia version of the game remains playable until the service shuts down on January 18, 2023.
