➤ Assassin's Creed Valhalla, guide to easter eggs 🕹

The videogame world has always been a medium dear to postmodern aesthetics, especially as regards the concept of "quotation".
The so-called Easter Eggs are present in practically every videogame production, whether small or large. Obviously, the larger the game world, the easier it will be to insert small goodies that will make the fans of the aforementioned object happy.
The latest chapter in the Assassin's Creed saga seems to make this quotation tradition one of its strengths. Let's see how to find some of these quotes in this one Assassin's Creed Valhalla easter egg guide.

Fantastic fish and where to find them

Assassin's Creed Valhalla, guide to easter eggs

Let's start with a very light quote, namely that ad Fantastic animals and where to find them.
First manual created by JK Rowling herself to describe some of the creatures of the famous Harry Potter literary saga, then a real spin-off of the homonymous film saga with two films under its belt, this easter egg is extremely easy to find.
All you have to do is build the Yanli store at your settlement, enter it and find, among the items sold, three pages of a guide to find all the fish in the game (extremely useful, by the way).
So not only a direct reference to a much loved franchise, but also an extremely contextualized quote to a game element that is completely similar to the one mentioned.

Rapunzel

Near the ruins of Venois, in Ledecestrescire, along the river bank, you will be able to hear a woman's voice coming from a nearby apparently abandoned tower. As you approach it, you will notice a soldier in front of the door, while a woman's voice wonders if a knight has finally arrived to save her.
If you offer to save the princess from the "kidnapper", you will have to face the latter in a duel. We let you discover the epilogue of this strange gaming event.

Covid and references to the pandemic

When you control Layla outside the Animus simulation, you have the opportunity to browse inside the field set up by your small team (a bit like it also happens in other chapters of the saga).
If you approach your laptop and read through the emails that have arrived, you will notice a very particular conversation between Layla and some of her acquaintances, who wonder where it ended up. Among the various suppositions, they wonder if it disappeared because of the Covid.
Surely a very current little easter egg, which will remind players that they will be working on it in a few years of the delicate period during which the game was released.

Ellie e The Last Of Us

Also outside the Animus, it is possible to find a guitar resting on the sofa near the simulator station.
If you look carefully (perhaps with the help of the game's photo mode), we can read the brand to which it belongs on the headstock of the guitar, that is Ellie. Judging by the elements involved, it seems difficult to think of a coincidence.

The Lord of the Rings

Perhaps in the Spanish version this quote is a little teasing, but if you stick to the original one, the situation tends to change.
Near Grantebridge you can find a small island inhabited by a single person, the self-styled king of Norsexe. By completing this mission, you will come across some features that create a bizarre one similarity between the individual and one of the most iconic characters of The Lord of the Rings, Gollum. Also in this case we let you discover the details, but, if you want, we have created a special guide.

HP Lovecraft, Game of Thrones and The Legend Of Zelda

Several easter eggs can be found in the Dunwic fortress in East Anglia. A dungeon room contains as many as three.
First of all, for lovers of Game of Thrones it will be impossible not to make a direct comparison with another very famous cell without a wall that gives directly onto the void (but it could be just a coincidence).
The second thing that catches the eye is certainly the inordinate amount of chickens that invade the room. Just in the tradition of a video game milestone like The Legend of Zelda, if we hit one, all the poultry will start attacking us, even if they were a pack of ravenous wolves.
Finally, you can find a letter reporting the growing madness of one of the prisoners. The reference to talking spiders and the name of the place can only bring to mind one of the stories of HP Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror.

The Dark Souls bonfire

In Ledecestre, just behind the study of the Assassins of the city, there is a bonfire that recalls in all respects one of those that characterizes one of the most loved games of recent years, Dark Souls. We don't know if we had a problem, but it seems that we can't interact with it.

Death Stranding and long deliveries

One of the most elaborate and satisfying quotes in the game is certainly the one relating to Death Stranding.
To find the easter egg you will first need to build the general store at your settlement. Once this is done, you can find it on the back some items that have not been delivered. The note reports some places. If you take these items to their rightful owners throughout England, you will receive silver in exchange.
The peculiarity is that you will have to deliver them on foot. No horse. You can only rely on your legs (or some boats). Also for this easter egg we have created a special guide.

Horcrux, Voldemort e Harry Potter

Lunden is one of the most particular places in the game and, certainly, also the one with the most references to popular culture. One of the best Easter eggs in town, however, is the one concerning Harry Potter.
A small house guarded by a snake is located near the western port of the city. Inside it is possible to find different objects on a table and a sheet, where the names of seven elements are reported which, coincidentally, are the same as the Horcruxes at Voldemort.
In addition, there are also several ingredients (reminiscent of those to make magical potions) and four drapes with the relative colors of the houses of the Harry Potter saga.
If you want to know more, read our dedicated guide.

These are the best Easter eggs we've found (so far) in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Obviously, help us in the comments to find others.
Surely we have missed an infinity of them, so share with all the readers the ones you found during your game (without making too many spoilers, of course).
