Similar to the previous titles of the franchise, even Assassin’s Creed Valhalla offers several abilities that Eivor can use during combat, However, unlike the previous installments, abilities in this game cannot be unlocked by gaining experience. Instead, you will have to unlock them by exploring the map of Norway and England. Unlike the skills that you can activate in Skill Tree by gaining experience, you will have to find All Book of Knowledge for unlocking abilities in AC Valhalla. These books have the wisdom that helps your character Eivor learn new abilities that you can then equip to use during combats. In this AC Valhalla all Book of Knowledge locations guide, we will enlist all the abilities that we have unlocked so far, and where and how to find them.
Before getting into the list of all abilities in AC Valhalla, we want to inform you that it is an in-progress guide, and we will keep updating it as soon as we find new abilities across the map with their details.
How Book of Knowledge and Abilities System Works in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Every Book of Knowledge contains wisdom that lets Eivor learn new abilities. There are several of them well hidden, usually behind a small puzzle or hostile area across the maps. There are two books for each ability in the game. Finding the second book for the same ability will upgrade the ability and make it significantly stronger in terms of stats. There is no order of collecting books for an upgrade. You can collect them in any order and still the ability will be upgraded when you find the second book.
You will get either a ranged or a melee attack ability by finding these Book of Knowledge. Once unlocked, you can assign the available abilities from the Ability menu. From the Ability menu screen, you can assign the best ones to Eivor. You can only assign 4 abilities at most for each category. Hence, try experimenting with different combinations until you find the best suitable for you according to your game style.

If you haven’t completed the quest, cross the drawbridge from the fortress, and enter the main castle’s hall.
In the main chamber, you will find the boss, alive or dead, depending upon whether you have completed the quest or not. When the boss is dead, enter the small room to the left in the main chamber. Now, head inside the second door to the right and then turn right again. There will be a breakable wall. However, there won’t be any oil jars available to break through the wall. Hence, abilities like Incendiary Powder Trap can come in handy here. When you break the wall and enter the chamber that opens, you will find the Book of Knowledge.

The key is with another guard who is in the longhouse located on the northern side of the settlement.
Once you have the key, unlock the door and enter the hidden path. On entering the passage, you will fall inside a room that is full of loot. After collecting the loot here, find a small opening at the backhand side. Get past the opening to enter the adjacent room, where you will find the first Book of Knowledge for Raven Distraction ability in AC Valhalla.

The key to the chapel’s door is inside the church located just south of the chapel. Climb up to the roof of the church and break the glass to enter it. Move the shelf in the church to find an entrance to a room beneath and get the key.

Turn right from where you land after dropping and then slide past the crawlspace. Now pick an oil jar and follow the wooden pathway to get to an explodable wall. This wall will lead you back to the room with the crawlspace. Here, you will find another oil jar. Pick the jar and walk across the pool using the ledge. Now, place the oil jar before the explodable wall and use arrows to explode it from a safe distance. Once inside the room move the shelves to get to the book.

The first book’s location is in Ravensburg, an area to the southwest of Grantebridgescire. You might have arrived at this area during the Storming Ravensburg mission, and if you haven’t, then you now know that you can complete two things while here. To get to this book, you will have to kill a specific enemy called Marksman who will have the key to unlock the door of the room with the book. You can use Odin’s Sight or Raven’s Sight to ping the enemy with the key.
Once killed, loot the key and head to the small hut located next to a very large tree on the upper side of a hill. You can access the front door of the hut with the key and collect the Book of Knowledge to unlock Rush and Bash ability.
The book to upgrade Rush and Bash ability is in the Dunwic fortress. It is located on a bridge to the mainland in East Anglia. You will find the book on the eastern side of this restricted area. You can climb on the outer side of the walls to avoid guards.
While moving to the southeastern part of the fortress, you will hear a woman shouting for help. She is caged and the enemy having the key is guarding the cage. Defeat the guard, collect the key, and rescue the woman. Now, pick an oil jar and explode the floor beneath to drop down into a room filled with chickens and a note. After reading the note, move the shelves to the right and enter the opening. The book will be right in front of you when you enter the opening.
Harpoon Impalement
Harpoon Impalement is a melee ability that lets Eivor impale and whip out any enemy. If the enemies hit something else or another enemy, they take massive damage.

The first book’s location is at Venonis, which is to the west of Ravensthorpe. Once here, use Synin’s Raven view to find two passages underneath the ruins. The one you need to take to get to the book is the westerly one. It is a small hole opening in the ground. Enter the passage, break the wooden wall, and swim your way to the very end of the passage.
Now, climb the left side of the passage to reach another breakable wall, but this time made up of rock. Use the oil jar right next to the wall to break it. Proceed into the opening to enter the room with the book. After collecting the book, move the shelves to the backside of the room to exit the fortress through a much shorter route.
The Second Book of Knowledge to upgrade Harpoon Impalement ability in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is found in a church named Sancta Helena’s Church in the northwestern area of the Colcester. It is the main city found in the center of Essexe. On the eastern side of the church will be a set of movable shelves that will be blocking a stained window. Move the shelves, break the window, and find the key within.
Now, use the key to unlock the main door of the church. Inside the church, you will find ladders, but that won’t be accessible. Use the movable shelves to reach the ladder and climb it. Next, shoot the second ladder to bring it down and climb it to get to the Book of Knowledge.

You will find the First Book of Knowledge Location for Blinding Rush ability in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in the ruined tower towards the northeastern part of the East Anglia map. It is a restricted area, and hence, heavily guarded. However, you can avoid the guards by climbing the tower from the eastern side and then dripping inside it, instead of using the main door.
Once inside the tower, you will find a note about some vault that holds the Book of Knowledge. You will also find a breakable wooden floor right in the center of the room. That’s the vault you are looking for. All you need to do is use arrows or oil jars to break into the wooden floor and repeat the same for the second breakable floor. This will lead you to the Book of Knowledge.
You will find the second book in the northwest corner of the Suthsexe area. It is located in a ruined building named Chertsey Abbey. Once in the area, look for a square-shaped tower, but don’t need to enter it yet. Before stepping inside the tower, climb a small building nearby it. From here, you will be able to locate a net hanging inside the tower. Use Odin’s Sight to ping it, if you aren’t able to locate it. Hitting this net will give access to the ladder that will help you reach the top of the tower. Now, enter the tower and climb to the roof of the tower where you will find the Book of Knowledge for this ability.
