Valhalla, Odin's hall

Valhalla: the Bifröst gate at the heart of the hall, between the Vault and Heimdall.

Valhalla is the hall of fallen heroes and the heart of the game. Your saga begins there, and your hero returns to it after every expedition. Each resident of the hall has a role all their own.

Moving around the hall

• Click the floor to walk; click a character to walk up to them and open their panel.
• The E key talks to the nearest character.
• The side bar shows their portraits and takes your hero straight to each one.
• Inside the hall your hero is at peace. The one exception is the Valkyrie’s training ground, with straw dummies for testing your damage.
