Assassin's Creed Valhalla title update 1.3.1 is proscribed today, headlined past a new Nightmare difficulty mode which makes combat substantially many punishing.

Every bit Ubisoft explained in the full update patch notes, Nightmare mode triples the damage you receive, reduces the healing of your rations by 40%, and shrinks the parry timing window by 38%, making it a good deal tougher than the previous peak of Very Hard mode. If you're in the least under-leveled or under-geared, damn near anything is active to unrivaled-shot you, and it's going to be more than harder to bounce cover from the hits that munificently leave you with a splinter of health. Valhalla itself is known A the hall of slain warriors, and I reckon the addition of Nightmare mode will take the halls rather quickly.

Update 1.3.1 has done to a greater extent than come through easier to die, though – as you'd expect from an update averaging 26GB (but varying between platforms). It's too loosened the rules on customizing Eivor's loadout past lease you apply unique runic letter effects to to each one of your weapons and stack runes and perks in wild ways. The short variation is that runes will now only affect the weapon they'rhenium socketed in, and runes and perks no more have caps on their combined effects, meaning the sky's the limit on form synergy.

On that point are bran-new rewards to chase in this update, excessively. The River Raids mode has added three new rivers, two River Champions, and Champions of the Faith to vanquish. These bosses will yield unique weapons, and there are five other weapons, a new armor set, and three new abilities in the River Raids pocket billiards to a fault.

The squatty update is rounded out by a wash list of bug fixes which have delivered some spectacularly weird patch notes for the accumulation. Hither are a few of our favorites:

Players didn't take damage from ardour after destroying a boat.
Numerous issues with the B Bull fight.
Bed in Dublin was no more accessible.
No stones around to complete the Stoneman mystery.
NPCs fell from their Stations now and again and died in Command Challenge.
