The update brings the new content called Ostara Season: Mastery Challenge Game Mode. This brings a new Master of ancient arts, which sends Eivor on a quest to prove his/her will. This quest includes trials that transcend the rules of reality. 

Below are the following trials that await Eivor:

To unlock the Ostara Season: Mastery Challenge Game Mode, players must be at least Power Level 221. In addition, players must have also completed the Uninvited Guest main quest.

There are also new skills added in the game, including:

  • Mounted Archer – this enables Eivor to use his bow ability even while mounted on a horse.
  • Shield Master – this ability allows Eivor to automatically rotate and block incoming attacks while holding up their shield.
  • Unstoppable – During combat, Eivor’s sprint will become unblockable and will knock back enemies but at the stamina costs.

As stated earlier, aside from the Mastery Challenges, the new update will also refresh the River raids. The update also includes several game improvements and balancing updates. There is also the stability update which is ever-present during the new patches.
