So, You're Stuck on a River Raid... Again?
Okay, let's be honest. We've all been there. You're knee-deep in loot. Vikings are yelling. And all you want is a hot bath and a pint of ale back at Ravensthorpe.
But how do you escape this watery chaos in Assassin's Creed Valhalla? More importantly, how do you escape without hurling your controller at the screen?
The "I've Got Enough Loot" Exit Strategy
First, let’s talk about the obvious. You can always just... leave. I know, groundbreaking stuff.
Open the map. Find that little icon that looks like a longship chilling by a dock. Select it. Boom. Freedom (sort of).
This only works, however, if you are at the Dock. Sometimes I forget, okay?
The "My Crew is Mostly Dead" Method
So, your crew looks like they’ve been through a particularly rough ale festival. Maybe they have!
If enough of your Vikings are swimming with the fishes, the game might just take pity on you. It will display a prompt, asking you if you want to get out of the raid.
Click "yes". Feel the shame. Carry on.
The "Unpopular Opinion" Exit
Here's where things get a little spicy. This might be controversial, but I'm just going to say it: sometimes, the best way to exit a river raid is to simply… die.
I know! Blasphemy! But hear me out. It's faster than rowing back to the starting point sometimes.
Plus, you get to see Eivor dramatically fall to the ground. And honestly, that's worth it every single time. Don't @ me.
The "Accidental Drowning" Escape
Okay, maybe *deliberately* dying is a bit much. But accidentally drowning? That's just good clean fun.
Valhalla is a game with many glitches, and one of them is Eivor's reluctance to swim for long.
Just take a leap of faith into the water. Pretend you meant to do it. Nobody needs to know your secret shame.
The "My Game is Broken" Plea
Look, sometimes the game just doesn't want you to leave. Maybe a quest glitched. Maybe a Viking got stuck in a wall. Maybe the gods are just messing with you.
If all else fails, and you're genuinely stuck, the nuclear option is always there: reload a previous save.
It's not elegant. It's not fun. But it's effective. Remember to save early and save often. Trust me. You’ll thank me later.
The "Just Embrace the Chaos" Philosophy
Ultimately, maybe the best way to exit a river raid is to not exit at all. Just embrace the chaos. Become one with the river. Let the raids consume you.
Okay, maybe don't do that. Your real life needs you. Probably.
But seriously, sometimes just going with the flow (pun intended) can be surprisingly rewarding. You might even find some amazing loot or discover a new strategy.
So, go forth, brave Viking. Raid those rivers. And may your exits be swift, painless, and preferably involve minimal drowning. Skål!
