Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Shields Locations Guide

Shields in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla not only allow Eivor to block attacks but also provides a range of bonuses such as a high attack stat, mobility, HP regeneration, among many others. ACV gives the players complete freedom to choose whatever gear they want to play the game with. It can be dual-wielding swords, shields, or the more balanced swords and a shield. Shields can be bought from merchants, acquired as pre-order rewards, and found in the game’s open-world. In this Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla guide, we’ll walk you through the locations of all the shields and their effects in the game.
