Tracking down every hidden piece of gear in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is essential for building a powerful Viking warrior. The early-game region of East Anglia contains several valuable weapons and armor pieces that can drastically alter your playstyle. Knowing exactly where to look saves valuable time spent wandering the massive marshes and historic settlements.
Finding the Carolingian Longsword
This powerful Wolf-aligned weapon is stashed away in the Forest Hideout, a heavily fortified bandit camp situated in the western part of the territory. Players must clear out or sneak past the local guards to access the tent holding the main loot container. Once inside the tent, you can easily claim this sword to boost your heavy attack capabilities early in your journey.
Using the proper gear allows Eivor to survive brutal skirmishes against the region's deadliest enemies. The weapon can be upgraded multiple times to ensure it remains viable throughout your entire conquest of England.
Uncovering the Magister Armor Set Pieces
East Anglia holds two vital pieces of the Magister's armor set, which perfectly benefits players who favor a stealthy approach. The Magister's Mask can be found at King's Bury inside a prominent church structure. You will need to break through the building's defenses and fight off the local guards to secure the chest containing the helmet.
Meanwhile, the Magister's Cloak is located far to the north at a small enemy outpost known as Serpent's Landing. The chest rests inside a locked hut behind a breakable wooden wall, requiring you to locate a nearby key hidden outside on a small table. Collecting both items grants substantial bonuses to your ranged and melee damage when striking from the shadows.
Locating the Plank and Buckler Shield
If you prefer a defensive combat style, the Plank and Buckler heavy shield is an exceptional choice found within the Sutton Hoo bandit camp. Reaching the treasure requires exploring the deep underground caverns situated beneath the main fortress area. Players must first retrieve a hidden key from a nearby tent to unlock the inner chamber holding the wealth chest.
Inside the cave system, you will also need to utilize an explosive oil jar to destroy a fragile stone wall blocking the pathway. Successfully navigating this subterranean maze rewards you with a shield capable of stunning opponents upon a perfectly timed parry.
Defeating the Daughters of Lerion
For those searching for the ultimate prize, East Anglia serves as the battleground for two of the terrifying Daughters of Lerion, specifically Regan and Cordelia. Defeating these dark witches rewards you with unique pieces of Thor's legendary armor set along with mysterious daggers. These encounters represent some of the toughest boss fights available in the early stages of the game.
After defeating all three sisters across the country, their daggers can be brought to a secret underground tomb located southeast of Northwic. Inserting the blades into the specialized statue opens up a hidden vault containing Thor's iconic helmet.
