Three skills last month appeared mysteriously in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but only if you have disconnected your console from the internet. Now those skills are officially available, included in the 1.1.2 patch of the game, available today for all platforms.

The massive 1.1.2 update (10 GB on PlayStation 4, 19.5 GB on Xbox Series X and S) adds Fight Ready, Arrow Looter and Assassin Carry skills to Walhalla‘s complex skill tree. They are joined by three other abilities: Long Ship Brace and Power Stroke improve your abilities while on your boat, while Assassin Slide allows you to slide while sprinting – and that allows you to defeat enemies – as if Assassin’s Creed Valhalla wasn’t kick-ass enough already.

In addition to those six skills, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla also gains three new skills. Shoulder Bash sounds a lot like a generic, albeit powerful, melee ability. Battle Cry increases your attack power and causes nearby enemies to stumble in fear. But the coolest new one is the Berserker Trap, which lets you use your bow and arrow to fire traps that release a cloud of hallucinogenic toxins.

Today also sees the addition of Valhallaexpected River Raids mode, which allows for replayable raids Those who enjoy the various raids from the main game – miniature targets where you gather your crew and loot a fortified location, often a monastery – are sure to get a kick out of it. (I am currently downloading the patch and will report if the River Raids mode is anything to write home about.)

The patch also provides fixes for a number of failed quests. That way the boss in “Extended Family” will no longer get stuck in walls. You can actually move that box in “Blood From a Stone”. I’ve never heard of this, and it has nothing to do with a specific quest, but today’s patch “fixes an issue that caused all Order members to be killed after killing a Zealot.” To be fair, I wish one were left untouched. It could have saved me a lot of time looking for the rest of the Order!

And of course, today’s patch brings the required “performance and stability improvements”. Unfortunately, still no word on it adapted equipments
