Thor's Island Guide

By Bill Kelsey · Updated 2026-10-28

Learn how to navigate Thor's island, the first and only playable island in the Valhella prototype. This guide covers the layout, key locations, and combat preparation needed for new players.

Before you start
  • Swear to Thor or start on Thor's shore in the prototype

Get your bearings

Thor's island is the thunder's ruined yard: a beach on the south side with the dock and a longship in the water, a low terrace yard, and cliffs and peaks to the north, under a storm sky.

Walk the shore road up to the gate

Inside the gate are the hammer stone, the cold forge and the armory.

Expect draugr

Draugr wait in the yard, at the gate and by the stones, so bring your class weapon.

Know what Thor's armor does

Wearing two pieces of Thor's set gives Gathering Storm (+12% damage). Four pieces give Mjolnir's Echo, so heavy attacks burst with thunder (+8% damage). Freya, Loki and Tyr's islands come later.

Valhella is an early prototype. Features and controls may change before release.
