I don't know how everyone else feels about this, but the fact that we had to rely on a youtube channel that had to decode a puzzle found the collectors edition of game in order to find the Isu bow did not feel enjoyable to me in anyway. The fact that we're five months into this game cycle and there is still a weapon in the game that nobody has found is dumb. If the weapon is truly bugged and isn't appearing then tell us Ubisoft. Don't include a fix for the weapon's perk in the update if it isn't bugged and no one has found it as if it is some massive hint that we should keep looking. Any kind of weapon or game mechanic that takes this long to find is something that belongs in a Demon Souls game or a puzzle game of some kind. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is neither of those games and nor should it be. Maybe I am just old AC fan whose interests no longer align with the majority of the current players, but this is just dumb and provides no incentive for me to scour the map of England or the mythical lands to find Skadi's blade. Even finding out the bow location and how to get made me annoyed because how in the world were we suppose to figure that out on our own. Seriously how?
@maguro-ru The patch notes list a change to the perk on Skadi's blade and unless I missed an update from the various Assassins Creed youtube channels no one has yet to find the weapon. The only other concrete evidence that it exists is from some French youtuber who datamined it from the files on PC. Therefore, I am assuming it is in the game and has yet to be found. I could be wrong though as I pretty much gave up looking for it at this point.

Thats a fair point to an extent. I agree having long lasting mysteries can be fun and immersive when they are capable of being solved by any player that devotes a reasonable amount of time to the game. Also when it involves learning hidden aspects of the story to get better insight on events that occurred can be very immersive.
However, I don't know how you found out about the Nodens arc, but I found out about because a youtube channel got the collectors edition and decoded a hidden message that came with it. That is not something the average player will be able to do and the argument that the community can solve it together is not accurate when only the few willing the pay double the amount of the base game get the privilege to solve the puzzle. Mysteries involving lore and characters is one thing. Having weapons that are hidden behind mysteries that only the chosen few who are willing pay up get to decode is not immersive for single player game. I shouldn't have to rely on others being more willing to pay up in order to solve the mysteries of a single player game that I am playing by myself.
My problem with the ax is that there doesn't seem to be any concrete leads on how to find it, or even if it can be found 5 months into the game. Which leads me to believe that the answer will probably be written in some isu sentence on the back of one collector edition items of some kind. I don't know and thats my point I can't be sure unless I somehow get my hands on those items which will inevitably cost more money. As far as these mysteries being something that extends the life of the game, then I ask what is the point of the season pass and consecutive free seasonal content. Most of the people who aren't willing to pay for the DLC's will move on to other games or just stick to the free content in the meantime especially if they have to pay to get the items needed to solve mysteries on their own.
I'm glad people are enjoying scouring the map in order to discover every little clue they can in the hopes that it pans out, more power to ya. I certainly hope that those people are able to find those answers in game, and not from a youtube channel whose day job it is to play this game nonstop. However, if your idea of a spiritual successor to old AC mysteries is being forced to buy the collectors editions right out of the gate just to decode some isu letters on the spine then you and I played very different AC games.
I have the season pass and I can use the character online, but in the story mode the team tab has her listed as unavailable. is this intentional?

I have found all the eggs in the settlement, but when I go to the quest giver he is walking endlessly into a pole with no option to end the quest. I have tried restarting the game and reloading the save neither fixed the problem.

There is a level 250 enemy roaming level 160 zone. Is that how it is suppose to be?
