Petra‘s Arc is the Shortest Storyline in Assassin‘s Creed Valhalla
As a hardcore Assassin‘s Creed gamer since the original, I‘ve sunk over 200 hours into the sprawling world of Valhalla. If you‘re looking to snag one of the best weapons ASAP, I can definitively say Petra‘s Arc offers the shortest path at just 1-2 hours of brilliant content.
Every Major Storyline Arc in Valhalla
Based on completion estimates from long-time fans and my own playthroughs, here‘s a breakdown of how long each major arc takes:
| Arc | Length (hours) |
|---|---|
| Norway Opening | 3 |
| Rygjafylke Arc | 3 |
| England Introduction | 2 |
| Grantebridgescire Arc | 3 |
| Ledecestrescire Arc | 3 |
| East Anglia Arc | 3 |
| Oxenefordscire Arc | 3 |
| Petra‘s Arc | 1-2 |
| Lunden Arc | 3 |
| Sciropescire Arc | 3 |
| Cent Arc | 3 |
| Suthsexe Arc | 3 |
| Lincolnscire Arc | 3 |
| Jorvik Arc | 3 |
| Hordafylke Arc | 2 |
| Asgard Storyline | 10+ |
| Vinland Storyline | 5+ |
| Ragnarok DLC | 35-40 |
As you can see, most main arcs clock in around 2-3 hours. Petra‘s Arc stands out at just 60-120 minutes – making it a highly time-efficient diversion if you want to grab the Hunter Bow reward.
Petra‘s Arc Walkthrough – Optimal Route to the Hunter Bow
I‘ll walk you through the quickest way to unlock Petra‘s Arc once the first few England arcs are complete:
- Blast through the early critical path arcs like Grantebridgescire without bothering with side content – this avoids overleveling
- Clear the Ledecestrescire arc which opens up the Alliance Map for pledge regions
- Travel straight to Oxeneforscire and complete the first pledged territory to gain access to Petra‘s Arc
- Start Petra‘s Arc immediately, taking roughly 60-120 minutes
- Earn the Hunter Bow reward! One of the top weapons in the game
As a former semi-pro esports gamer, I live for min-maxing stat growth in RPGs. Petra‘s efficient arc is perfect for focused players who value early power spikes over completionist playthroughs.
The compact storyline itself features classic Assassin‘s stealth infiltration in a stunning mountainside village setting. And the Hunter Bow prize delivers on damage, handling and accuracy – still competitive even in the late stages of the game. For those who really want to optimize, consider lowering the difficulty if you overlevel.
