Assassin's Creed Valhalla is one of the many games in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise. The game follows Eivor, a Viking from Norway, as they leave Norway in search of a new life in England, carving out a new home for themselves within the world.
Once Eivor reaches the shores of England, they will build their own settlement (Ravensthorpe), where anyone who needs a home can stay. As the game progresses, so does the settlement, at least until it reaches the status of a full-fledged town. Here's a breakdown of how to level up that settlement.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Best Mods
Assassin's Creed Valhalla has seen some great mods already. Here's a look at some of the absolute best.
Settlement Levels, Explained
Eivor's settlement in the game is one of the most important places. Ravensthorpe (which is a real place) is where the base of operations for Eivor and their crew is located, and it is where they will make some major decisions. The settlement grows in six different stages throughout the game, with each level being an important part. Each of these stages represents a chapter in the settlement's building and creation. Here is a breakdown of the stages that the settlement goes through.
- Encampment
- Colony
- Hamlet
- Borough
- Village
- Town
The more buildings players build, the larger the settlement becomes, and the more people visit. Once the settlement is large enough, it moves on to the next settlement level until it reaches level 6. The higher the settlement's level, the more buildings players can unlock. Before long, Ravensthorpe will begin to look like the town that Eivor desperately wants to create for their crew.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Best Weapons
Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes players on a wild Viking adventure, and it's important to carry only the best weapons during a playthrough.
How To Increase Settlement Levels
Increasing settlement levels is a pretty straightforward process, for the most part. There are a couple of different ways to increase the level, including building buildings and forging alliances with the people around the game. This means that it might take some time to build Ravensthorpe into the town that it will become, but it is worth every moment of the process.
To build buildings in the game, players must unlock them first. To begin with, the basic buildings (such as the longhouse) will be unlocked. As the story progresses and the settlement expands, more buildings will become unlocked. These buildings require certain materials, so players must ensure they are always hunting for treasure and raiding. Here are all the buildings that can be built in Ravensthorpe.
- Alvis and Holger's House
- Bakery
- Barracks
- Blacksmith
- Brewery
- Cartographer
- Cattle Farm
- Fishing Hut
- Fowl Farm
- Grain Farm
- Hidden Ones Bureau
- Hunter's Hut
- Hunwald and Swanburrow's House
- Karis House
- Mayda's House
- Museum
- Seer's Hut
- Shipyard
- Stable and Aviary
- Tattoo Shop
- Thousand Eyes Trading Post
- Trading Post
The final way to increase the settlement's level is by forging alliances. This can be done after completing the quest "The Alliance Map" after building the longhouse in Ravensthorpe. In the game, Eivor will forge alliances with different factions, regions, and people around England to make a name for the Raven Clan in England. The more alliances Eivor makes, the better Ravensthorpe will become.
