  • Why I Chose This: The way this bow is able to deal massive amounts of damage from long-range. The further you are the more the damage.

Norden’s Ark, a Mythical Hunter Bow, offers unparalleled raw power among its peers in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. I found out that its substantial Damage and Stun attributes make it ideal for the game’s toughest missions. Notably, it excels in ranged combat, with its damage increasing with distance from the target. From my experience despite its weight, it maintains respectable mobility.

Due to its exceptional abilities, this Bow is a rare type, and you need to put in some effort to get your hands on it. This fourth-tier Hunter Bow comes with seven upgrade bars. The upgrading feature helps increase the weapon’s stats to make it more effective against enemies.

How to get Norden’s Arc

  • Nodens’ Arc is a secret weapon that is hard to find but hunting this weapon is worth the time.

  • Why I Chose This: Great attack points and crit damage. The ability for it to take out common enemies in one headshot hit.

Ona:Kara is a Wolf-aligned bow with massive attack points and impressive Crit damage. This Bow in my opinion is suitable for players who like to play the game offensively. This Superior Bow is very handy when fighting off your foes from a distance due to its increased range. One headshot from this weapon can take out a common enemy.

One thing I’ve learned is although it may not have many upgradeable options, it is pretty strong in its basic form. Moreover, its ranged damage is further increased when at full health.

  • Why I Chose This: The increased movement this hunter bow provides and the great ranged damage-dealing capabilities.

It is a two-handed Hunter Bow that can be used in ranged fights as it has pretty decent ranged damage. Although it has an average base attack, I found that it is pretty impressive in other aspects.

4 Dreka Bow 98 72 38 104 86 12
  • Why I Chose This: The warrior abilities and the superiority it provides in long-ranged stealth takedowns.

Dreka Bow in my opinion is also an excellent choice for offensive players as this Bow comes with various warrior abilities. This weapon is suitable when you want to go into stealth mode without being noticed and want to take down enemies without getting too close to them. I’ve experienced that it is a bit heavy to wield and will decrease your movement speed to some extent.

After being fully upgraded, it becomes a beast on the battlefield. Using this weapon from a range is more beneficial as its damage increases with the distance from the target. If you are wearing heavy armor, then the capabilities of this deadly Bow are further increased.

How to get Dreka Bow

  • This deadly Bow is available in the game store for 350 Helix Points from where you can purchase it.
  •  A bit over-priced, however, its impressive stats and confident performance on the battlefield justify its price.

  • Why I Chose This: The way this bow allows for massive damage that keeps on increasing on successive hits.

Arc of Elan is an offensive beast and a Mythical Hunter Bow with astonishing abilities. Using it will give you many beneficial perks, such as your damage will continue to increase for each successive hit to the enemy, especially if it’s a headshot. These features from my experience make it a perfect weapon to fight sturdy bosses when you don’t want to go too close to them and fight from a distance.

The weapon comes with three Rune Slots that can be utilized for significant enhancements and another upgrade in the Bow.

6 Hunnish Bow 90 77 41 110 92 11
  • Why I Chose This: The enhanced agility this bow provides with balanced stats.

Hunnish Bow is a single-handed Hunter bow of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and I suggest it for players who don’t want to wield heavy Hunter Bows but need an increased speed in the character’s movement. Although its damage might not be the greatest, the speed and stun damage are impressive. After hitting an enemy’s weak points, it comes with a perk of increased ranged damage.

The best thing about this Bow is that you don’t have to purchase it, and it comes free of cost in your inventory. So, if you are low on silver, you can always equip this weapon and face your enemies.

How to get Hunnish Bow

  • You don’t need to do anything to get this weapon, as it automatically gets added to your inventory at the beginning of the game.

7 Death Speaker 74 69 44 91 78 12
  • Why I Chose This: The ability of this bow to increase your HP while hitting enemy weak points and dealing great damage.

The Death-Speaker is no doubt a fatal Hunter Bow in the game. It offers adequate damage with an increased speed in the player’s movement while equipped. Besides its impressive headshot damage and critical damage, the aim of this Bow is not so accurate, so I recommend you get used to it first before making it your primary weapon.

If you are already good at aiming, this weapon will become a perfect match for you due to its severe damage. Furthermore, it comes with a unique perk of increasing the character’s health when you hit enemies’ weak points. 

How to get Death Speaker

  • The Death-Speaker is not so hard to access as it is available for purchase in-game.
  • Buy it from local merchants located around the map.
  • It can be bought for 360 gold which is quite reasonable according to its features.

NO. HUNTER BOWS MAX ATTACK HEADSHOT DAMAGE MAX SPEED STUN CRITICAL DAMAGE WEIGHT
8 Sagittarius Bow 73 61 39 77 74 13
  • Why I Chose This: A well-balanced bow with great damage-dealing capabilities.

Sagittarius Bow is a one-handed Wolf Bow with pretty decent stats and perks. With an impressive speed and adequate Crit damage, from my experience, you can use this weapon in light to moderate fights when the number of enemies is low.

Like other Hunter Bows, it has a valuable perk of boost in damage when hitting an enemy’s weak points. It also increases the character’s speed by 10 points for five seconds which may prove very beneficial to escape critical situations.

How to get Sagittarius Bow

  • Sagittarius Bow can be obtained by exploring the sewers under Jorvik, located in the northern part of the map near Multangular Tower.
  • High damage when hitting enemy weak points.
  • Good overall stats.
  • Lacks in heavy combat scenarios.
  • Lower max attack stats than other bows.

9 Dokkalfar Bow 83 77 41 100 90 11
  • Why I Chose This: The considerable stats this hunter bow provides with enhanced crit chance.

The Dokkalfar Bow is another deadly Bow in the Hunter Bows category. It has pretty high stats with exceptional abilities, but it is placed last in the list as you cannot get it by completing any quest or going for its exploration. This lethal Bow is quite helpful in combat and serious missions, but you have to purchase it in order to get your hands on it. If you are willing to spend some bucks on the game in order to get better equipment, then it is worth the money.

This special item might look a bit expensive, but from what I’ve experienced it offers impressive abilities and massive damage points. It also comes with the perk of increasing the critical chance when the character has a near-complete health bar.

How to get Dokkalfar Bow

  • Dokkalfar is a special Hunter Bow that can be obtained by purchasing the premium DLC starter pack available in the Ubisoft store.
  • A bit expensive and costs around 40 dollars but you receive other special items with the bow as well.
  • These include 2,300 Helix Credits, an Iron Wolf Ship Pack, a Kraken Heavy Shield to wield in hot combats; a Royal Sword that can also be combined with the shield; and a classic Tusk Axe. 
  • Great overall stats.
  • Being near full HP enhances crit chance.
  • Versatile.
  • Costly to acquire.
  • Requires premium DLC starter pack for obtaining.
