Hunting down your ever-growing list of targets plays a big role in the story of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and some are better at hiding than others. Early in Eivor’s adventure, they meet a pair of Hidden Ones, Basim and Hytham, in Norway, and agree to take up arms against the Order of the Ancients in an effort to liberate England of their influence. Once the Raven clan reach England, Hytham sticks around to set up a headquarters in town - feeding Eivor intel, and leading them towards new targets....

Battlefield Portal, the game’s second major experience, was revealed a few weeks after that, keeping the momentum going. Many of those excited to see more of the game hoped that the next reveal would focus on some aspect of gameplay....

Lost Ark Glaivier Build: Engravings With the Glaivier you have two options: Control and Pinnacle. Control removes the focus stance, and allows you to focus purely on your flurry skills in combat. On the other hand, Pinnacle provides huge buffs when switching between stances allowing for more consistent damage alongside a harder rotation. For our build, we’ll be going with the Control build. The flurry tree is brilliant, and allows you to stack skill points into the selection of flurry attacks with a simpler rotation too!...

One of the earliest mysteries in Bloodborne has been the small locked door behind the Cleric Beast, which is accessible after defeating it.

Shortly after the release of the game, fans put two and two together and figured out that the door was meant to lead from the Great Bridge (Central Yharnam) to the Cathedral Ward, only that this is no longer possible in the launch version of Bloodborne....
