It's not very clear how to get started in the new Siege of Paris DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, as players are expected to have completed a few tasks in the base game before the opening quests for the DLC will trigger. This guide will show players how they can begin the new expansion.
The post-launch support for Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been substantial for the game's success, providing players new areas to explore and characters to meet. It even offered players a new level scaling system to keep things interesting. The Siege of Paris DLC brings players to West Francia where they will engage the forces of Charles the Fat in one of their most dangerous conquests yet. Players will forge new alliances and attempt to bring down the empire. While it might be simple enough to install this new DLC, there are a few prerequisites for players to complete before they can start it.
The last expansion to release for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Wrath of the Druids, also had prerequisites to complete before starting the DLC, but they were much simpler. Players just needed to install the DLC and meet with a character in Ravensthorpe to start a new quest. This would unlock the docks to bring players to the new location. Siege of Paris requires a few more steps, and players should consider them before immediately purchasing the DLC. This guide will show players how they can begin the new Siege of Paris DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Complete Two Tasks to Start The Siege of Paris DLC in Assassin's Creed Valhalla
The Sigrblot Festival sets up the Siege of Paris in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and provides additional context, so, though it is not a prerequisite, players may want to complete that free content update before heading to West Francia. The two main tasks players are required to complete before they can access the Siege of Paris DLC are:
- The player must have a power level of 200.
- The player must have completed the Ledecetrescire or Grantebirdgescire story arcs.
Once the player completes these, they can launch the game, and a message will appear that a new visitor will be arriving at Ravensthorpe. Eivor can head over to the visitor's location to get started with the Strangers Bearing Gifts quest. The player can then speak with Toke and Pierre to head over to West Francia and begin this new expansion.
With this new content being added to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it will be interesting to see what era the series decides to explore next. The Assassin's Creed series always transports players to different eras and offers insightful but enjoyable historical content around these time periods. The Siege of Paris is the second out of three possible expansions to release for this title. There's speculation of what Assassin's Creed Valhalla's 2022 roadmap could look like, but little official information is available. The final expansion has yet to be revealed, but it will likely take place somewhere in the European continent.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
