The update in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, 1.2.2, brings a new game mode to the title called Mastery Challenge. This mode introduces players to special shrines that feature challenges they can complete. To locate all of these shrines you need to find them in the world. To help you do this use our Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Mastery Challenge map locations guide below.
Before diving right into the guide here are a few things to note. You unlock shrines by completing the quests given by Hilidran. Shrines are marked on your map with the Valkyrie helmets. Meditate at the shrines to activate them. Challenges at shrines use pre-built builds, not your own.
