In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok, Hugr-Rip is a bracer crafted by the Dwarves, which can absorb and let the user use the power of different enemies. The power uses a resource called Hugr, which can be found in the Hugr bloom flowers across Svartalfheim. At one time, Havi can harness a maximum of two powers and can use them as long as he has Hugr.

All in all, there are a total of five powers for the Hugr-Rip, let’s take a closer look at each of them.

Power of the Raven

• Increased duration
• Air-assassinate while active

The power of the raven gives Havi the ability to become a raven and fly. This ability can be found with the giant ravens across Svartalfheim.

More about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok

Dawn of Ragnarok is the third expansion of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and is arguably the most-ambitious expansion of the decade-long franchise.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the latest iteration of Ubisoft’s iconic stealth-action franchise takes the series to 9th century England, during the Viking invasion, as the players take on the role of Eivor Varindottir of the Raven Clan. Eivor, along with her brother Sigard, travels to a divided kingdom in search of a new place to call home.

Aside from the grounded story dissecting the geopolitical tension of the different kingdoms, Valhalla also interprets the Norse Mythology in its own unique way, featuring the Aesir gods of Asgard. Dawn of Ragnarok builds upon that mythological aspect and takes players to the Dwarven realm of Svartalfheim, which has been overtaken by the fire giant Surtr and his army of Muspels.
