Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok guide – Legacy of Ivaldi location and Hreidmar Palace puzzle solution
The Hreidmar Palace puzzle in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is found south of Uldar. The towering structure is a pain in the butt to climb. Thankfully, you can use the Power of the Raven to fly and land on the smaller hilltop.
There, you should see the Hreidmar Palace light beam puzzle. Here’s what you need to do:
Destroy the crates surrounding the pedestal that’s close to the door (they’ll block the laser beam’s trajectory).
Pick up the orb and place it on the pedestal. Aim the pedestal so that a weak laser hits the receiver above the door.
Go to the opposite section and rotate the pedestal there so the beam hits a reflector on the side.
If you do it right, the empowered laser should bounce and strike the doorway’s receiver.
Go ahead and pick up the Explosive Retreat ability tome inside the room.
Lastly, although this is purely optional, don’t forget to pet the cats. Cats are awesome!
Next, make your way to the castle proper. Cross the bridge, pick up some energy flowers, and kill some hostiles to recharge your Hugr-Rip.
Now, instead of climbing the cliff, you can transform back into a raven to reach the top and eliminate the mobs (the Ash-Bringers drop Platinum Ingots as well).
Assuming you’re at the southern section of the castle ramparts, you should see a Heroic Saga, as well as a locked chest.
For now, make your way to the northern part. You’ll see a dead corpse with the Power of Rebirth (which you won’t need). Instead, maybe you’ll want the Power of Muspelheim from other mobs.
Enter the tunnel and activate the Muspelheim ability. You could also just spam the dodge button so that Eivor skips around. What’s important is that you pick up the key at the end of the tunnel.
The key will unlock the chest at the southern section. This nets you the Legacy of Ivaldi weapon in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok.
