Players have discovered a new hidden and powerful arc Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. All you have to do is find a specific stack of bricks and hit it a few times and reload your save. However, this is not the intended way to obtain the weapon.

Players have discovered a small, inconspicuous pile of bricks in the northern part of the main building Valhalla card contains a strange and powerful secret. If you hit these rocks … nothing will happen. Unlike similar stone stacks in the game, this stack will not break. However, save your game if you hit this stack of stones a few times, and reload, well, nothing happens. But repeat this a few times, for most players it will take about three reloads and you will eventually unlock Norden’s Arc.

JorRaptor made a great video showing the rock method, how players discovered it and how powerful the bow is. (Spoilers: It’s very deadly.)

This hunter’s bow is an Isu weapon. The Isu were an ancient civilization of super powerful creatures that has enslaved people and … see, you probably don’t care and I don’t have time to explain it completely. They were powerful and no longer there, but their relics and weapons still exist, like this bow. That’s the short version.

I have tried this method and got lucky. On my very first reload it worked. Although I save it. Because, while this method works reliably, it doesn’t look like the way Ubisoft would be Iplayers to unlock this special weapon. It seems like a glitch.

This was confirmed earlier today by Darby McDevitt, the narrative director Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. McDevitt explained on Twitter, in a response to a JorRaptor tweet, that this method was a “smart brute force hack” that could be useful for speedrunners.

However, he clarified that there is an actual in-game way to unlock this bow, but didn’t say how. But when someone pointed out that a player must have solved the secret by now, McDevitt answered vaguely: “Someone almost did.
