This interesting addition to both games came withTitle Update 1.4.1 toAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, but it can be a bit of a challenge to launch. For those players looking to start “A Fated Encounter” and get themselves on to the new location in the game, this guide is here to help.
How to Launch A Fated Encounter
Players need to have checked a few boxes before this mission becomes available to them inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. Firstly, players will need to have completed the mission “A Wise Friend” and gotten Valka the Seer to stay atRavensthorpe, the player’s settlement inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Secondly, interested players need todownload the latest Title Update for the game, 1.4.1.This update is a data restructure for the game and requires a full reinstall ofAssassin’s Creed Valhallabut results in a smaller overall file size. This update varies in size across platforms:
With both boxes checked, players will get a message on their screen detailing that a new mission is available. Similarly toAssassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Siege of Paris DLC, players must return to Ravensthorpe in order to start this new story arc. Head towards the north part of the settlement as part of this mission called “A Distorted Dream.” Once there, players just need to talk to the new NPC near a red tent to launch the “A Fated Encounter” story arc.
How to Get to the Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye is the new location inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,and getting to it is relatively straightforward. Once players have spoken to Edyt, the new NPC at Ravensthorpe, they will be presented with the option to accept the mission to the Isle of Skye or delay their departure. Accepting the mission will start a loading screen that then transfers players over to their raiding vessel as it approaches the new location.
This starts the story arc known as “A Fated Encounter” and introduces players to the new area with which they will soon become familiar. Fortunately, the recommended level that players should be at to tackle the challenges of this new area is just 55. This is a low barrier to clear for most players, especially considering thatthe max level inAssassin’s Creed Valhallais 400.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
