Editing Valhalla-5.0 (section)

== Features ==
Saga of the Ancients Epilogue
* Witness the narrative conclusion to Tribes of Midgard's campaign story arc that started back at our official launch two years ago.
** Note: When playing Survival, remember to check in with Eira and her new Dialogue between each Saga Quest to learn more insights about your journey every step of the way.
* As you defeat Fenrir, Jörmungandr, Surtr, and Hel in a Survival or Saga World, watch and listen as the stones react to your journey, and return to the Sanctuary after all are slain to gain access to a new mystery area.
* This new area will take you through a unique, action and narrative-packed sequence culminating in an epic showdown with a brand new Ancient at its end
* Survive the climactic confrontation to access a brand-new animated cinematic ending
* If you're feeling particularly bold, players who complete the full story in a Solo Survival World with Permadeath enabled will be treated to a special extended version of the end cinematic, representing the true ending.

Giddy-up, Einherjar — Mounts are Here! 💙
* Mounts have made their long-awaited debut, and just in time to assist the Einherjar on their journeys to take down all four Ancients and reach the epilogue.
* Mounts are enabled by default, and each player starts with an Amber Horse. You can view your selected Mount from the Accessories section of the Customize menu.
* When in-game, the Mount button is greyed out until you reach the Level Requirement for your Einherjar (LVL 10 in Survival, LVL 3 in Saga).
* Once you've reached the prerequisite Avatar Level, simply hit the Mount button to summon your trusty steed from Valhalla and get going, offering a large 40% speed boost when traveling.
** By default, mounting up requires you to hold the Mount button to activate. You can adjust between Toggle and Hold methods in the Accessibility Settings menu and adjust the Controls to remap the Mount button to your liking.
* Mounts have their own HP bar that regenerates over time. If they're reduced to 0 HP, you will be dismounted and enter a cooldown before you can Mount up again.
* Many quick interactions, such as opening Gates, activating Effigies, or talking with NPCs can be done while still mounted. However, deeper actions such as Harvesting and Reviving will dismount you, but will not trigger its cooldown.
* You can collect various Mount types from the Cosmetics menu. See Content section below for more details.

Survival – Permadeath Setting
* Now when starting a Solo or Multiplayer Survival World, you can toggle whether to have Permadeath active or not.
* As it sounds, there is no respawning in Worlds with Permadeath enabled; you die and it's Game Over, Einherjar — so die well.
* When navigating a World list, you'll be able to see which Worlds have Permadeath enabled.
* Additionally, a label will appear in the HUD in game and on the Game Over screen.

Valhalla Level and Rewards Revamp
* We've overhauled how new Rewards are unlocked. Rather than a Season Rewards track, Valhalla Saga features a new system focused on earning and spending Golden Horns to pick and choose the content you want.
* Formerly known as Season XP, players will now earn Valhalla XP.
* Functionally the same, Valhalla XP will increase your Valhalla Level all the way to Level 50, and for every Valhalla Level gained, you can claim offerings of Golden Horns from the Rewards menu.
* Once you max out at Valhalla Level 50, your Valhalla Level will become ∞ and you can still accrue additional offerings of Golden Horns by attaining a level's worth of Valhalla XP.
* All Challenges previously requiring Season Level progress can still be earned through Valhalla XP.
* All Gameplay unlocks requiring Golden Horns, such as Runes and Recipes, have been moved from the Shop to this new Rewards menu to better distinguish between unlockable Gameplay items and unlockable Cosmetic items.
* As such, the Shop has been renamed to the Cosmetics menu to reinforce this distinction as well as reorganize the menu itself. You can return to the Cosmetics menu Daily to claim free Platinum Coin rewards.
* New unlocks that would normally fall under Season Rewards track progression are now accessible by completing new Challenges, viewing the new Rewards section, and browsing the new Cosmetics menus, respectively.
