Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a couple of different mini-games in which you can have some fun and also earn some money while you are at it. The drinking mini-game is one of them. It allows you to bet money, and if you win, then you can make a pretty penny. In this Assassin’s Creed Valhalla guide, we are going to go over how the drinking mini-game works and how you can win it.
How I Won The Drinking Game Every Time In AC Valhalla
The aim of the game is to drink more than the opponent, and the mini-game is pretty simple. You need to press the prompted button when the white circle is inside the orange area. This is easy at first, but the speed of the white circle increases over time, and the orange area becomes smaller, so as you chain combos, things are going to get difficult.
This mechanic controls the chugging. If you press the button at the wrong time then Eivor is not going to drink, and you will have to try again. Another mechanic that you need to know about is maintaining your balance.
When Eivor has had a lot to drink, he or she will start to lose balance. You need to correct his or her steps. If Eivor is about to fall toward the right, then you need to move toward the left. You can do this by moving the left joystick towards the left or pressing the A button on PC. If Eivor is about to fall toward the left, then you need to correct your balance and move toward the right.
If you fail to correct the balance, then Eivor will fail to drink, and then you will need to try again. Get these two things right, and you will win.
Pro Tip: I kept my focus on the button prompt, A in my case, and just zoned out. You know how you sometimes focus on something so much that you zone out? Yeah, like that. Just zone and use the peripheral vision to time the white circle.
Work The Rhythm: The key to winning the drinking game is to get into the rhythm of the QTEs. Each drinking session has a consistent rhythm that, once mastered, can make pressing the buttons at the right time much easier.
Start Strong: At the beginning of the game, the QTEs are slower and more forgiving. Use this to your advantage to build a lead early on, as the game will speed up and become more challenging.
Focus on the Circle: Keep your eyes on the shrinking circle rather than the button prompts. Press the corresponding button right as the circle hits the edge of the button icon for the best timing.
Anticipate the Next Button: Later rounds introduce faster sequences, so it’s beneficial to anticipate the next button press. Usually, the sequence follows a pattern or repeats previous combinations.
Correct Your Mistakes Quickly: If you miss a button press, quickly realign your rhythm. A single mistake can be recovered from, but multiple mistakes can quickly lead to defeat.
