How Long is the Asgard Arc in Assassin‘s Creed Valhalla?

The epic Asgard arc in Assassin‘s Creed Valhalla, where Eivor experiences visions of the realm of Norse gods, will take approximately 10-15 hours to complete based on reports from many players. This assumes you are completing the main quests and some side content – a full completionist playthrough will take longer.

Let‘s break down everything the Asgard arc encompasses and how long it will reasonably take to complete.

Overview of the Asgard Arc

The Asgard storyline becomes available when reaching England‘s Grantebridgescire territory. Eivor starts experiencing visions where she takes on the persona of Odin and interacts with iconic Norse figures like Thor and Loki.

Here‘s some key facts on the arc:

• Recommended Power Level: 90
• Location: Separate map only accessible through visions
• Length: Around 10-15 hours based on player reports
• Content: Main questline, side mysteries and wealth collections, 3 Lost Drengrs

The environments and lore stay true to Norse mythology and really help Valhalla stand out. You can expect beautiful settings inspired by the legend.

Now let‘s break down how long it will take to complete the various parts of this arc.

Main Questline (5-10 hours)

The Fate of the High One questline forms the critical path through Asgard. There are 5 major quests:

• The First Nightmare (rescue dragon Nidhogg)
• The Reaver (defeat fire giant Surtr‘s champions)
• The Sage (outwit Loki‘s schemes)
• The Seidr (battle corrupted sorceress Gullveig)
• The Sickness (defeat Fenrir wolf)

Based on data from HowLongToBeat, focusing just on the main quests takes 91⁄2 hours on average to complete. This will let you experience the core storyline involving Thor, Odin and Loki in around 10 hours.

Side Content (3-5+ hours)

In addition to the main quests, Asgard offers various side content and collectibles including:

• 6 World Events: mini side quests
• 3 Lost Drengrs: powerful elite enemies guarding treasure
• Wealth: finding all 45 wealth collectibles for loot
• Mysteries: ancient tombs, legendary animals etc.

This extra content can easily add 5+ hours depending on how much of a completionist you are. Hardcore players have reported spending 15-20 hours fully clearing Asgard.

I highly recommend taking on the Lost Drengrs once you are at higher power levels – defeating them grants you 3 epic armor sets and weapons.

Notable Weapons & Armor

Some of the most iconic mythical items in the game are obtained in Asgard:

• Excalibur: One of the best swords acquired after defeating the Lost Drengr kings
• Mjolnir: Thor‘s hammer is available but requires high power level to wield
• Gungnir: Odin‘s mighty spear can also be obtained
• Armor of the First Warrior Set: Legendary armor from defeating Gullveig

Below is a comparison between 3 Isu weapons you can get in Asgard:

As you can see, Mjolnir packs the most damage!

Lore & Story Implications

The Asgard arc reveals some major lore that has implications for the wider Assassins vs Templar storyline:

• Eivor is a reincarnation of Odin himself
• Loki is revealed to be the ancient Isu called "Loki"
• We see the leadup to Ragnarok that caused the downfall of the Isu
• Thor, Tyr and other Isu actively influenced Norse mythology

So in summary, expect around a 10 hour main storyline with 5+ additional hours from side content and collectibles. Hardcore completionist can spend 15-20+ hours exploring the Asgard arc.

It remains one of Valhalla‘s most unique expansions and is a must-play for mythology fans. This mystical realm houses some of the game‘s most iconic moments and gear.
