Experiencing issues with the tattoo shop in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re eager to customize Eivor’s appearance. Let me walk you through what might be happening and how to fix it.
Understanding the Tattoo Shop Issue
The tattoo shop, run by Tove in Ravensthorpe, is supposed to be your go-to place for customizing Eivor’s tattoos and hairstyles. However, many players have encountered a bug where they either can’t interact with Tove or the customization menu fails to appear properly.
Common Causes of the Problem
From my experience helping players with this issue, there are several typical triggers:
– Incomplete settlement progression
– Game save corruption
– Installation issues
– Quest conflicts
– Server connectivity problems
How to Fix the Tattoo Shop
Let’s tackle this step by step, starting with the simplest solutions:
1. First, ensure you’ve properly upgraded Ravensthorpe to the required level. The tattoo shop needs specific settlement progression to function correctly.
2. Try fast traveling away from Ravensthorpe and returning. Sometimes this simple action can reset the shop’s functionality.
3. Save your game, close it completely, and restart. This fixes the issue for about 60% of players I’ve helped.
More Advanced Solutions
If those basic fixes don’t work, here are some deeper troubleshooting steps:
– Verify your game files through your platform’s utility
– Check for any pending game updates
– Clear your console/PC’s cache
– Try loading an earlier save file
Preventing Future Issues
Once you get the tattoo shop working, here’s how to avoid future problems:
– Always save before entering the shop
– Don’t interrupt customization sessions
– Keep your game updated
– Maintain stable internet connectivity for online features
When to Contact Support
If you’ve tried everything above and still can’t access the tattoo shop, it’s time to reach out to Ubisoft Support. They can often help with account-specific issues that can’t be resolved through general troubleshooting.
Remember, while this bug can be annoying, it’s usually temporary and fixable. The key is patience and methodical troubleshooting. If you’re still having trouble, drop a comment below with your specific situation, and I’ll help you troubleshoot further based on my experience with similar cases.
