🧭 Recommended Play Order (2025)

For the smoothest gameplay experience and best pacing, most experienced players recommend the following order:

  1. Main Story – Play until you’ve built the Seer’s Hut and completed Valka’s first visions.
  2. Wrath of the Druids – A good mid-game expansion with moderate difficulty.
  3. The Siege of Paris – Fits naturally after completing major England arcs.
  4. Dawn of Ragnarök – Play late-game when you’re strong enough for mythic combat.
  5. The Forgotten Saga – Optional endgame content for fans of roguelite challenges.
  6. The Last Chapter – Finish this after all other content to close Eivor’s story.

⚒️ Tips Before Starting DLCs

  • Check your Power Level: Each DLC scales, but being near the recommended level ensures smoother combat.
  • Upgrade your settlement: Some quests and gear are tied to Ravensthorpe’s progression.
  • Complete Valka’s quests early: They connect directly to Dawn of Ragnarök and The Forgotten Saga.
  • Use the Animus Store wisely: Some gear from DLCs carries over to the main game.

🏁 Final Thoughts

The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLCs expand the world far beyond England, blending historical adventure with deep Norse mythology.
For the best narrative flow:

Main Game → Wrath of the Druids → Siege of Paris → Dawn of Ragnarök → Forgotten Saga → The Last Chapter

This order keeps Eivor’s story coherent — from Viking raider to mythic legend — and ensures you experience every major arc in the right context.
