How to Get the Book of Knowledge at Tjarnar Mylna in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
The Book of Knowledge at Tjarnar Mylna in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla grants you the Rage of Helheim ability. This powerful ability allows you to launch enemies into the air and then slam them down, dealing significant damage and opening them up for follow-up attacks. To acquire this valuable skill, you’ll need to navigate the mill’s defenses and solve a simple puzzle.
Locating Tjarnar Mylna and Preparing for the Encounter
Tjarnar Mylna is located in the Eurvicscire region of England, specifically nestled along the river near the eastern border with Northumbria. It’s a heavily guarded mill overrun by bandits. Before heading there, ensure you are at least power level 190 to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemies. Upgrading your gear and stocking up on rations and healing items is also highly recommended. Stealth is an option, but a direct assault is often more efficient.
Infiltrating the Mill
The mill is protected by several guards, including archers positioned on the rooftops and heavier melee fighters patrolling the ground. You can choose to approach stealthily by using the long grass and bushes to your advantage, eliminating enemies one by one. Alternatively, you can engage in a full-on assault. If you choose the latter, prioritize taking out the archers first as they can inflict considerable damage from a distance. Utilize your own bow and arrow to quickly dispatch them or use throwing axes for a more direct approach.
Accessing the Underground Chamber
Once you’ve cleared the area of enemies, look for a grate covering an underground chamber. This grate is your entry point to the Book of Knowledge. You’ll find it close to one of the mill’s main buildings, often hidden amidst debris or overgrown vegetation.
Solving the Oil Jar Puzzle
The grate is blocked by wooden planks that are best destroyed with fire. Locate oil jars nearby. There are typically a few scattered around the mill. Pick up an oil jar and carefully carry it to the grate. Be mindful of remaining enemies or any explosive hazards in the area. Position yourself a safe distance from the grate and throw the oil jar at it. The resulting explosion will break the wooden planks, granting you access to the underground chamber.
Claiming the Book of Knowledge
Carefully descend into the underground chamber. You’ll find the Book of Knowledge prominently displayed. Interact with it to learn the Rage of Helheim ability. Your character will perform a brief animation, and the ability will be added to your skill tree.
Using the Rage of Helheim Ability
The Rage of Helheim ability is a powerful addition to your combat arsenal. It allows you to grab an enemy, launch them into the air, and slam them back down, causing significant damage. It’s particularly effective against larger, heavily armored opponents. Experiment with the ability in different combat scenarios to master its timing and maximize its effectiveness. Remember to allocate skill points in your skill tree to improve your ability’s stats.
