Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a massive open-world game, meaning players have tons of places to travel and visit throughout their journey in Ravensthorpe. As a result, there are several modes of transport like fast travel or walking around on foot.
However, the most common method travelers in AC Valhalla use are riding on a mount like horses, wolves, and boars. Since exploring and going to different locations is a crucial part of the game, players will need some of the best mounts they can find, one being the golden boar.
The golden boar or the Gullinbursti is a legendary mighty board in Norse mythology. AC Valhalla players can find this mythical creature by playing the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion and getting access to Svartaflheim, the dwarven world.
In this article, readers will learn about everything they need to know about the legendary golden boar and how they can acquire it for themselves in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Requirements for Getting the golden boar in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
AC Valhalla gamers can get their hands on the golden boar or Gullinbusti during or after completing the main storyline in the expansion Dawn of Ragnarok.
In other words, there isn’t any way to get the golden boar while playing the base game in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. They will have to complete the primary campaign and get the quest Restless Dreams which introduces the character to Dawn of Ragnarok DLC.
Where can you find the golden boar in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla?
Players will discover the golden boar during the “A Beast’s Burden” mission in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It’s categorized as a “world event” quest initiated in the southwest of the Svaladal region.
To explain, world events side quests that assassins can find all over England in AC Valhalla. The game marks these missions as glowing blue dots on the map, and players have to use Odin’s sight once they reach those locations.
These events are short, simple, and optional content that you can easily skip or miss. But, these quest provides opportunities and rewards not acquirable in the main narrative, such as the golden boar.
How do you get the legendary golden boar in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla?
Players will need to take down the Muspel NPC riding a giant golden boar in the Svaladal region to get Gullinbursti in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
It won’t take much time to recognize the NPC you’re looking for, as a dialogue from Havi will trigger the moment you get closer to the golden boar. Unfortunately, the Gullinbursti is under the control of the Muspel and will charge at the protagonists on sight.
Gamers can use melee or ranged weapons to take down the NPC. It isn’t a boss fight, meaning it shouldn’t be too difficult to defeat him.
Note: If you opt to use long-range weapons, I recommend aiming for the NPC’s weak spots like his left shoulder and right forearm.
After you defeat the NPC, the screen will black out a moment, and Havi will climb up the Gullinbursti while saying, “I am in need of your aid if you will offer it.” After that, you have officially added the legendary golden boar to the mount collection.
How can you get skins for the golden boar in AC Valhalla?
After defeating the Muspel riding the boar in “A Beast’s Burden” quest, riders can find any stablemaster in the game and change into the Gullinbursti and other skins in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
The best part about this is that you can also use the boar skins outside Svartalfheim. However, if you want to switch to other mounts, you’ll have to visit a stable like the one situated at the Jordber Shelter in Gullnamar or the Hodda Shelter in Vangrinn.
