There isn’t a loot table for weapons or armor. Valhalla is very different from Odyssey in that respect. That stuff is all hand-placed and only available in the chests or on mini-bosses that the devs have set up. There are no one-handed swords in the base game’s map.
I wound up using the spear from the Druid DLC mostly anyhow, or before that, a two-handed axe wielded in one hand. Some of the one-handed swords are IIRC pretty good, but as always it’s a trade off and a matter or style. Or if you want to use the FOTM min/max set up, etc.
Why do they keep removing the stuff I like? They took the shields out of Origins for Odyssey, then they took the swords and ALL THE LOOT out for Valhalla! :D
Maybe? I really don’t recall, but if it was early on, I might have. Sure as heck didn’t do the others. Or the “align the mystical stones” stuff. Can never remember how to do those.
Those were fun too :) One of the biggest missed opportunities in Ubigames IMO is that all those things are completely independent. If you had to choose to create a particular shape with ley lines between certain of the standing stones or something, that would be a lot more interesting than 16 standalone versions of the same puzzle.
Speaking of swords, they have another time-limited freebie challenge going. Kill anyone in-game with a one-handed sword and you can claim “Basim’s Sword” in Ubisoft Connect for your game.
