Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Interactive Maps and Key Locations Guide
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the next chapter in Ubisoft’s long-running Assassin’s Creed series, and it’s built around a Viking saga that starts in the icy north and pushes outward into conflict. After a reveal on April 30, 2020, the game places you in 9th-century Europe as a Viking warrior who leaves Norway’s frozen lands to raid England’s shores—then begin carving out a permanent foothold by founding and growing a settlement.

The Siege of Paris DLC guide
The guide then pivots to downloadable content with a dedicated index for The Siege of Paris DLC. It’s framed as an official wiki-style guide and walkthrough for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, serving as a landing page for all Siege of Paris-related guides. The index is described as covering a complete walkthrough for every quest, locations for wealth, artifacts, and mysteries, answers to major questions, and additional content.
The expansion is centered on the expansion of King Charles the Fat’s empire in Francia and the pressure it brings to the lands that Eivor and her Viking clan call home. Concerned that Charles and his army may soon move on England, Eivor travels to Francia to ask Charles to change course. The plan, however, doesn’t go smoothly—Eivor must handle the politics of 9th-century Francia while still trying to protect the life she’s built back in Ravensthorpe.
How to start The Siege of Paris expansion
To begin, you’ll need to download and install The Siege of Paris. After installation, Francia and the expansion’s storyline and locations should be accessible at any time, but the guide warns that everything there is at least Level 200. Because of that, it recommends waiting until you’re able to handle the difficulty.
When you’re ready to jump in, you’re told to head to Ravensthorpe, where you’ll hear about a new visitor from Francia. They’ve built a brand-new guest house in the settlement, and after Eivor speaks with the new guests, the expansion story begins.
Main quests in The Siege of Paris
The Siege of Paris is described as a long expansion, roughly equivalent to one of the larger sagas from the base Valhalla game. It’s self-contained in Francia and stretches across four additional locations. While the events can feel like a lot to keep track of, the walkthrough for this DLC is described as offering full-feature guidance, including tips, help with dialogue options, screenshots, and more.
- Strangers Bearing Gifts
- To Francia
- Warlord of Melun
- The Rot in the Slums
- Majesty in the Dark
- The Missing Queen
- Sister of Sorrow
- The Queen’s Gambit

- A Hidden Weakness
- Dark Before Dawn
- The Siege of Paris
- The Count of Paris

- Victory
All Siege of Paris wealth locations
Since Francia is entirely new to explore, the expansion introduces four fresh locations, each with its own set of Wealth treasures. Some of these are as straightforward as opening a chest, while others require digging up old Roman ruins and more. The guide states that the All Siege of Paris Wealth Locations reference covers Wealth in Francia, whether you want just some items or to chase everything.
All Siege of Paris mysteries
The same four-location structure applies to Mysteries in Francia. Some mysteries can be completed with a single enemy encounter, while others involve more steps and deeper investigation. The All Siege of Paris Mysteries guide is positioned as the place to find and solve all mysteries across the new land.
All Siege of Paris artifacts
Artifacts are also tied to the four Francia locations. The guide notes that certain artifacts are easy to spot, while others demand multiple steps to uncover. If you’re hunting for every Artifact available in the expansion, the All Siege of Paris Artifacts guide is presented as the complete reference for Francia.
How to get the Legendary Joyeuse Short Sword
With The Siege of Paris comes new weapons, and one standout highlighted here is the legendary Joyeuse Short Sword. The guide emphasizes that finding it isn’t simple, but points players to a dedicated walkthrough for obtaining it, including detailed steps and screenshots.
Vive la Resistance: how Rebel missions work
The Siege of Paris expansion also introduces Rebel Missions for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. These are described as small side assignments that don’t directly change the larger Siege of Paris storyline. Even so, they’re pitched as fun and as a solid way to collect additional gear and weapons. A dedicated guide—Vive la Résistance: How Rebel Missions Work—is referenced as covering questions about Rebel Missions in Valhalla.
Is Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in The Siege of Paris?
Rumors circulated about whether Kassandra, the sister of Alexios and a well-known mercenary from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, might appear in The Siege of Paris. The guide doesn’t spoil the answer in this section, instead directing players to a specific guide page titled Is Kassandra From Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in The Siege of Paris? for more information.
Hidden: how to solve the Hidden Ones bureau questline
Another expansion theme follows: Hidden Ones secrets and bureau content. The guide describes a Hidden quest where Eivor searches across Francia to uncover remnants of the Hidden Ones, and it points to a walkthrough titled Hidden: How to Solve the Hidden Ones Bureau Questline for completing the full questline.
Pat the Cats: all Evreux cat locations
A trophy/achievement called Pat the Cats is mentioned specifically for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla — The Siege of Paris. The guide frames it as one of the standout achievement goals because it involves patting cats in Evreux, all in Francia. It states there are four cats in total to pet, and the Pat the Cats: All Evreux Cat Locations guide is positioned as the easiest way to find each cat quickly and earn the trophy/achievement.
