AC Valhalla Defensive Measures Mission Bugs, Builder

AC Valhalla Defensive Measures is one of the quests you can start in Asgard. It’s part of The Fate of the High One mission. You’ll have to find and speak to the Builder who will ask you to bring him several jars to build the barrier. We have to warn players that this quest is bugged, and most of the issues happen if you start this mission with low level character.

AC Valhalla Defensive Measures Mission Bugs

Bring the jars to the Builder bug solution

Jars can be easily found since they are scattered around huge pillars. Grab a blue jar and place them on the ground near the Builder. Some players reported a bug during this part of the quest. When they place the jars near the builder nothing happens. The only solution to this bug is to reload the save.

Kill all invaders bug

Once you locate Jotnar patrol northwest of your location, you should bring invaders into the shield. But the shield is unstable, and it will start flickering. In that moment Invaders will be passing through the shield, and you have to defeat them all. The main issue here is that the player character also receives constant damage if you leave the circle. So, if your character is not strong enough because your level is too low, if you leave the circle and spawn on any other location your character will die. The developers are aware of this issue, and we are waiting for any updates.

Another problem with this quest is that enemies could go through the shield even if it’s green again, and there is no ending cutscene. Solution we found for this bug is to switch the game to English, or any other language, load the last save that doesn’t contain words “Defensive measures” and redo the quest. After the attack, an option will appear to speak to the Builder.

How to Get Back to AC Valhalla Asgard Bubble

If it should so happen that you go back to England during the bubble portion of the quest, and then go back to Asgard, you’re in a lot of trouble. Every time you go back to the realm of the gods, you’ll automatically be outside of the circle, and therefore start dying, fast. To get back into the bubble, you basically have to abuse the “reload latest save” feature, and then die repeatedly until you inch your way close to the bubble. Then, use all your rations and adrenaline topped with Blinding Rush to finally get inside. The Jotnar will start attacking again, but at least you won’t be dying.

Now, the quest will still remain bugged, and basically unbeatable, but there is a way to explore the rest of Asgard without dying. First, defeat all the enemies from inside the bubble, and save when you can. Then, go into settings and download absolutely any language pack that you want. Switch to that language pack, and the game will reload. As soon as that happens, press start and fast travel to any point in Asgard. If you’ve done everything correctly, you should now be able to run around the rest of Asgard without trouble.
