Between One-Punch Man, baseball manand more nods to popular fantasy franchises, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla it is practically the Metropolitan Museum of Easter Eggs. But the best surprise – or at least the one that will surely delight fans of the series – does not appear until late in the game.
The spoilers follow for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Once you set up Ravensthorpe, about 10 hours after the game, you will be able to develop a whole host of new buildings. The creation of the Hidden Ones Office will give Hytham, Junior Hidden One, a new office full of life. Because this is a video game, it will reward you with a mission: watch six Codex pages, located in various disused offices in England. As the name suggests, these offices are all off the beaten track. But finding them is worth the effort, as this will trigger an Easter egg with Bayek from Siwa, the player character of Assassin’s Creed Origins.
Each Hidden Ones office offers a mix of environmental platforms and puzzles. A combustible capacity, such as an incendiary powder trap, can help remove stone barricades, but it is not essential. There is almost always a jar of flammable oil somewhere nearby and a convenient path that will allow you to take it to the barricade without any problems. (Whether or not you set yourself on fire in the process of blowing up the barricade is another matter.)

In other words, once you’ve found a hidden office, you probably have the means to complete it. They are located in:
- Ledecestre, in the northeastern part of the city
- Lunden, just outside the east wall
- Colcestre, near the southern walls
- Jorvik, near the southwest theater
- The middle of a forest in the middle of freakin ‘nowhere in the southwest Glowecestrescire
- Wincestre, on the west side, just south of St. Peter’s Church
After rounding out all six Codex pages, return to Ravensthrope and talk to Hytham. He will give some perfect thanks – sincerely offensive for a task that can last the entire duration of an extended role-playing game – and will mention that Reda, the supplier of goods on the black market, has an ancient writing. There things become real.
When you ask Reda about the script, he will freakly answer, “Oh, the old rest? Yes, it’s just a short letter from one hidden to another. “
Press him about how he got his hands on him and he will say, “A friend gave it to me for storage. Bayek was his name. Om in Egypt. Very nice. “(We wonder how old Reda is. Bayek’s deeds took place largely in the Ptolemaic Age, more than two thousand years ago, while Valhalla is established in the late 800s.)
After talking to Reda, he will pull back the curtain on the left side of his tent, revealing a podium with a letter on it. Everyone played Assassin’s Creed Origins he will immediately recognize her as a love letter written by Bayek to his wife, Aya. None of them is mentioned by name, but clues – that it is written on papyrus; that it mentions several members of the Egyptian pantheon; that it talks about the born beginnings, the origins, if you will, of the hidden ones – they are a dead collective gift. And it’s not just a piece of text thrown into the game. It is read aloud by Abubakar Salim |, the performer behind Bayek.
Oh, yes, and you have some sweet and elegant armor (the set called Hidden Ones) to eliminate every Hidden Ones office. With two pieces fitted, you will get an increase in damage caused by the assassination, provided you stay in cover for 10 seconds or more. Equip all five pieces and you will clear your head damage. The equipment is aligned with the Raven skill tree, so you will see even more statistical bonuses if you have invested heavily in these nodes. There is also a dagger – Suttungr’s Claw aligned to the wolf – that increases your critical damage with each hit.
It’s good equipment, but the Easter egg is the real prize. Conformable our extremely scientific methodology, Assassin’s Creed Origins it’s the best assassin’s Creed game. Personally speaking, it’s my favorite game in the series – a reimagining of what assassin’s Creed it could be that he didn’t avoid the basics, all wrapped up in an emotional wallop of a narrative with some of the most powerful characters from Ezio’s three-game getaway. Hearing Bayek’s voice was instantly transporting. Who knew that the Library of Alexandria was just a stone’s throw from the cobbled streets of old London?
