An Assassin’s Creed Valhalla player has figured out a way to make the infuriating stone stacking puzzles, known as cairns, easier using oil jars. This method could help players who have yet to tick those activity puzzles off their map and move on with their lives.

Assassins’ Creed Valhalla is the latest in the Assassin’s Creed franchise from Ubisoft. Players take on the role of a Viking raider as a part of the ongoing conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, as almost all Assassin’s Creed games do. The main selling point for Valhalla is the setting, which is rich in history, side missions, and open-world exploration. There are many activities based on historic events and acts played out during this time by the Vikings, such as fighting, raiding villages, and a dice game called Orlog. Among the activities placed across the map are cairn puzzles, a landmark of stones stacked up on top of one another dating back to prehistoric times. The problem is, gravity is often an issue when building a cairn, requiring a very steady hand and patience.

Players have been struggling with the cairn puzzles ever since Assassin’s Creed Valhalla released back in November 2020. It involves balancing rocks on top of one another in order to reach a specified height, while that may sound simple it is anything but. Thankfully, one clever Reddit user named LN404 has found a solution to the stone stacking puzzle in the form of a large oil jar. The user climbed the mountain holding the oil jar just to see if it would work and thankfully it did. The oil jar can be used as a part of the cairn to reach the necessary height requirement needed to solve the puzzle. All players have to do is balance some smaller rocks on top of the oil jar to finish the puzzle.

The main problem with this solution to the cairn issue is that not every stone stacking puzzle has a conveniently placed oil jar nearby. Players will have to actively seek out an oil jar for each one in the area, or bring it all the way from a spot where they know oil jars spawn. A side issue with using this solution is also that the physics of Assassin’s Creed can get a little strange, as the game was not designed for the oil jars to be in the activity area when the rocks are being balanced. The best thing to do is save the game just before starting the activity, just in case the physics engine goes a bit haywire.

This is a great way for players to tick off all of the base game activities before diving into the new Assassin’s Creed DLC, Wrath of the Druids, which released earlier this month. There is still plenty of content still to be released for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but hopefully, a patch that prohibits using oil jars to complete the cairn puzzles is not one of them.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
