Assassin's Creed Valhalla gives you the freedom to explore their recreation of ninth-century England and Norway. Thankfully, it isn't just a barren wasteland with nothing in it. There are plenty of things to find, see, and do on the large map.
Some of the things to find are resources you can use to make Eivor an even better Viking and Assassin. For instance, Nickel Ingots can help give your equipment a bit of a boost. You may have found some of these Ingots on your travels and not known how to use them. Alternatively, perhaps you require some Nickel Ingots and don't know where to get them. This guide can help you with either issue.
Updated June 10, 2023, by Sean Murray: Nickel makes the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla go 'round, so we've updated this guide with refreshed formatting to make it easier to find Nickel Ingots.
Where To Find Nickel Ingots
The Valhalla map is filled with golden icons that signify the location of some wealth. Several of them also point to chests or enemies that have Nickel Ingots.
They aren't just in every area, though. Nickel Ingots only appear in regions with a suggested power of 55 to 160.
These are the areas that have Nickel Ingots:
|
East Anglia |
55 Power |
|---|---|
|
Lunden |
90 Power |
|
Oxenefordscire |
90 Power |
|
Sciropescire |
130 Power |
|
Cent |
130 Power |
|
Essexe |
160 Power |
|
Lincolnscire |
160 Power |
|
Suthsexe |
160 Power |
So, to acquire the resource you seek, go to these locations and grab the wealth there.
The Nickel Ingots will initially look like a gold dot on the map before becoming three gold bars when you get close.
If it's in a chest, you can just hold the button prompted to loot it. If it's on an enemy, you can pickpocket them or steal from their corpse.
How To Buy Nickel Ingots
Once you've found one Nickel Ingot, you don't need to go searching to find more. Instead, you can simply head to a merchant and buy additional Ingots.
Naturally, you'll need some silver to make the purchase, but if you have plenty of coins, it is a viable way to acquire Nickel Ingots.
How To Use Nickel Ingots
The only use for Nickel Ingots is to upgrade your gear, as they can turn a Superior item into a Flawless one.
To do so, visit the Ravensthorpe Blacksmith and choose which piece of equipment you want to enhance.
