You don’t have to look hard in the lands of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to find references to video games, movies, series and more. The best known on social networks is the list of objects written on a scroll that corresponds to Lord Voldemort’s horcruxes in Harry Potter.
Another of the most widespread references is a world event that references Gollum from The Lord of the rings through a very strange man on a small island in England. However, she is far from the best related to Tolkien. You have to advance to the Dawn of Ragnarök expansion and explore a little to find it.
The world event is called Hyrrokin Gift and is located in the Gullnámar region. The story is about a dwarf who wants to destroy a cursed ring that is making his life impossible. We accompany him up the mountain until we reach a natural lava pit and there he prepares to destroy the ring.
“Yes! I will be free of this torture, of this heavy burden. Goodbye, damned!” the dwarf shouts before throwing the ring into the lava, tripping and following it in the fall. The dwarf screams as he rushes to his death. Although this story has overtones of humor, it is undeniable that it is a reference to the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Kingwhen Gollum falls next to the ring on Mount Doom.
