While the benefits of this in battle are obvious, the Hugr-Rip also has a great deal of uses for traversing the land of Svartalfheim - both by land and air. However, when Havi first gets the Hugr-Rip it’s weakened state means he has to hunt down all of its potential powers for himself, as well as the Silica and fragments needed to upgrade it. Here’s where you can find all of the Hugr-Rip powers in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok, as well as where you can find fragments and Silica.
Where are the Hugr-Rip powers in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok?
There are 5 Hugr-Rip powers in total: 2 from the fire giants of Muspelheim, 2 from the ice giants of Jotunheim, and a final power from Odin’s servants, the Ravens. The powers, where to find them, and their effects are as follows:
How do you upgrade the Hugr-Rip in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok?
To upgrade the strength of the Hugr-Rip’s powers and increase their duration, you need two resources: Silica and fragments. Once you have enough of both, take the Hugr-Rip to a blacksmith at one of the Dwarven Shelters throughout Svartalfheim and they can make the improvements for you.
Where do you find Silica in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok?
Thankfully for Havi, finding Silica to increase the strength of the Hugr-Rip is relatively simple. Nodes of Silica are found at raiding spots throughout Svartalfheim, where you pillage with a band of Vikings just as Eivor would in the main game. All of the raid spots are circled on the map above, but be aware that many of them are found under cliffs and inside caves so you may need to approach by water via your longboat. You get two Silica per node, and hitting one raiding spot should give you enough to upgrade the energy bar of the Hugr-Rip. To further upgrade your powers, you will need to hit more spots.
Where do you find fragments in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok?
As well as Silica, you need fragments to upgrade each of the 5 Hugr-Rip powers. Feathers are the easiest to find, since they drop from the same giant ravens that you can absorb that power from. But to get the Muspel and Jotun fragment resources, you need to defeat them in battle. Specific types of enemy are more likely to drop the fragments you need, and we’ve listed them all below:
Giant Feather - From giant ravens throughout Svartalfheim Magma Blood - From all Muspel soldiers, but most likely Brann and Ash-Bringer enemy types Frozen Blood - All Jotun soldiers, but most likely Jotnar-Guld enemy types Living Spark - All Muspel soldiers, but most likely Flame-Keeper enemy types Jotun Seidr - All Jotun soldiers, but most likely Jotnar-Djevelen enemy types
