Assassin's Creed Valhalla: 10 Secret Bosses You Must Find

5. The Blood Swine

If you're planning on getting your hands on the Master Hunter Trophy, you'll need to defeat all 9 legendary animals scattered throughout Norway and England.

Probably the most underrated of these creatures is the Blood Swine, which can be found roaming the Bleasby swamp just north-east of Repton. And although this task will essentially have you facing off against a boar, the fight is no joke, so be prepared for a bloodbath.

Like its similarly levelled brother, the Bear of the Blue Waters, the Blood Swine will charge at you from the get go. Since the dense foliage can make the fight difficult by hiding the creature from your view, lead it over to an open area. Losing track of the monstrous boar is a surefire way of instigating a ram attack, so be prepared to dodge if this does happen.

Using your poison strike ability to slowly deplete its health bar over time will allow you to concentrate on dodging incoming attacks, making it a great strategy to use in a pinch. If you're looking for something faster though, stick to either side of the Blood Swine and strike it with as many light attacks as you can before dodging away. And be wary of its hind legs. You don't want to get hit with that runic attack.
