In 2017, Ubisoft launched a leadership program to bring together the members of the gaming community who exhibit utmost interest in the Assassin’s Creed franchise known as the Member’s Guild. They enjoy various benefits, such as early access to upcoming updates and opportunities to contribute to the game.
Recently, the members of the Guild created various new weapons as a reward for the players of AC Valhalla. Moreover, these rewards are accessible to players as a part of the Guild’s loyalty program on Ubisoft Connect.
The Astral Blade is a legendary reward forged by the Mentor’s Guild to simplify the art of killing enemies. You can obtain the blade by creating a Ubisoft Connect account and completing a particular set of core and time-limited challenges. Or you can just purchase the blade from Ubisoft for 100 units.
It was created by the Isu and engraved with many constellations. Then, it was gifted to Eivor by Layla Hassan with the help of Animus modification.
Note: Isu is an ancient and supremely-advanced species of humanoids who were a part of the Eponymous era and responsible for creating the Pieces of Eden.

Legend of the One-Handed Sword
According to the ancient tales, after Bayek of Siwa won the war to stop Akhenaten’s worship, he traveled back to the temple beneath the Sphinx and buried the Astral Blade there. He did so in the memory of his son Khemu, who loved looking at the stars and the numerous constellations.
Then, hundreds of years later, a wise young merchant named Reda came across the one-handed sword.
He informed Eivor that the person who once wielded the sword kept his family above everything else. And, only the ones who share similar beliefs and principles deserved to wield it after.
Having observed Eivor’s conviction, Reda handed over the sword to her, and suddenly, the constellation-like markings on the blade began to shine. Hence, at that moment, he knew he’d made the right choice.
Anatomy of the Astral Blade
The one-handed sword constitutes a blade, a hilt, and two upper layers on the fuller of the sword.
The “stars” are circles of light present in the seethrough sockets embedded in the blade and upper layers. Likewise, the lines connecting the sockets glow softly and represent the completion of a constellation.
The Astral Blade provides critical damage for three seconds after you successfully dodge an attack with it. It also increases critical damage by 20 points. Additionally, players can upgrade the blade up to 10 levels.
