I finished the DLC in a couple of afternoons, including all the wealth, mysteries and artefacts. Ireland is not that big. I'm very surprised the story had so little to do about druids. I was hoping for potions, spells, rituals and stuff, but no, just basic politics between the old and the new world religion. Also there really is no combat challenge when your power level is maxed out. I'm a walking meat grinder, unstoppable, unchallenged. Plenty fish to be found though

@lun4wolf20 : Yes, soon a new Armor pack will become available including a nice green armored Parka, a black wool beanie headgear, yellow Wellington stomping boots, red rubber gloves, the long awaited big Flatfish shield and a big Mackerel sword. I'm in!

"Even grandpa could not catch that one". But we did kid, we did!

@freestepper : Cheers! I will cancel my Far Cry 6 preorder because of exactly this

So, three months have past since this topic was opened and this bug is still not fixed. 3 Months! 3! Sure, COVID and whatnot, but yeah, a bit disappointing. Lets hope this gets fixed before the upcoming DLC will be released, I would like to finish the main story completely before continuing.

When you cannot find your (big) fish, do not wait for them. Just call your longship and park it nearby the fishing spot. Then meditate a few times, because some fish only spawn at a certain time of day (sunset, or dawn). To trigger the spawn just fast travel to another region (not a dock) and fast travel back to your longship. Your big fish will probably be around, if not; rinse and repeat.
I used the same method for farming black bear fur. There is only one spot to get these. Parked my longship in the nearby river and fast travelled back and forth, had those furs in no time.

@vigilknight : I have the same issue with the sickle, I’m not sure what triggers it but for me it occurs during/after a fight. Specially the persistent rumble in the controller is very annoying. I can only get rid of the FX by restarting the game. I play on Xbox Series X

I can confirm that I was able to collect the opal at Uí Néill's Rest after update 1.3.0. It is not hiding under the chest anymore but now sits on the alter in the cave. For me this was the very last opal to collect in the entire game. Thanks for the fix, much appreciated!

It would be fair if Ubisoft would just give away the Einherjar bow to everyone as a free reward once the challenge is due. We just have to wait a bit

@kamikazesg12 : You can cycle backwards to go to the max in 1 click

@yesin069 : Exactly this; finding out a new delivery was needed to get the swordfish, OMG make it stop!

@ubi-borealis Aha, that is why this item is gone from my inventory. I found it some time ago and wondered what it was since it it had no description. Now I know, cheers!

@spirantcrayon22 I found out that every time I change anything on my Jomsviking (doesn't matter what) I get payed the next day after interacting with my Jomsviking Quartermaster. So I change something every day, I'm doing my daily opal sweep at Reda's anyway, and collect 100 coins from the previous day. Easy peacy!

Need coins? Just break every pot/vase/crate you find to collect sellable loot or coins and hunt hunt hunt and sell. Easy coins!

@kmarkopl : Never mind, you sorted this out already

@jakl201 Not to mention equipping/switching runes

@mstrtarvos To bad none if this helped! Something else springs to mind, it's a longshot but maybe worth the try (if you did not already).
Some games have a mechanic to detect if you start the same game with another user when it is already running. Maybe you can use this. Start Valhalla and leave it where you cannot continue. Then go back to Xbox home screen and log-in a second user with another controller and start Valhalla with the second user using the second controller. You should get a warning that the game is already running for another user, but you should be able to continue with the second user and stop the game of the first user. See how far you'll get with the second user and the first user afterwards

@mstrtarvos Try what I suggested before. Start Valhalla, but do NOT press A in the title screen (the one with the big Valhalla logo). In this title screen hard-stop your Series X by keeping the power button pressed until it shuts down. Reboot your Xbox if it does not on its own, start Valhalla and try to continue from here. If this did not work then do the same from the main menu screen where you controller is not recognized; hard-stop, reboot etc.

My theory is that somehow/sometimes the Xbox seems to forget what controller was connected and is waiting for input from a controller that is not connected, like it is waiting for input from "player 2" which is not there. This information is stored somewhere in a memory table. The hard-stop is to hopefully clear that information to reset it to the controller connected afterwards. If this does not work either you can try a factory reset of your Xbox, but that is up to you of course.

Also, you do get into and past the title screen, that is the screen before you get into the main menu. Have you tried, on the title screen to switch users with Y-button and start a new game as another user? If that works you at least know your hardware is functioning properly

@mstrtarvos Maybe you can try the solution I found for my issue with the Xbox controller, see this topic.

Short version : "I booted Valhalla and on the Title screen with "Press A to start" I just hard rebooted the Xbox by keeping the power button pressed. Once rebooted I started Valhalla and behold, joy and happiness, it is working again!"

@bloodangel569 Yeah, sounds about right. But anyway, I'm sure we will get the bow somehow

@bloodangel569 What @PartyMcFlyy80 means is that the game does not connect to the backend of "Ubisoft Connect" for this challenge to keep track of your personal score counter, thus your headshots count is unknow although you have met the requirement of competing in the challenge
