On April 29, Assassin's Creed Valhalla players will get to dive into the Wrath of the Druids DLC. Players will travel to Ireland to seek favor from Gaelic Kings, with new content like smuggling, Ring Forts, and a cult to hunt down. However, it seems that the trophies/achievements for these expansions already exist in the game's code.
YouTuber xj0nathan was able to dig into the game's code and find said achievements, which include many spoiler-y details related to the DLC. He has proved reliable in the past and also recently leaked an upcoming Basim outfit for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. If this proves true, then these leaks only have added credence. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of these achievements, fans who want to play Wrath of the Druids or Siege of Paris (when it releases this summer) fresh should turn back now. MAJOR CONTENT SPOILERS ahead.

Of course, some of these achievements are related to Assassin's Creed Valhalla quests and storylines, thus not really showing much other than a title. "Puca," for example, is earned for completing a question titled "Into the Fog." The "Ireland Saga" and "France Saga" achievements are earned by completing the DLC, and assuming this is all of them, it seems each DLC will add 5 achievements. Regarding Wrath of the Druids, the most notable is "Harvest Time." It is earned by defeating 100 enemies with a Sickle, a weapon currently not available in the game. Players will also earn achievements for synching all of the viewpoints in Ireland, while also defeating members of the Children of Danu.
It's very possible that some achievements are not listed here and there could be more, as the one's for Siege of Paris are also largely similar in nature. Players will unlock an achievement for synching all the viewpoints in France, while also unlocking one for defeating 100 enemies with a short wword. This is all but official confirmation that one-handed weapons will come to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, something many pointed out as missing in the base game.
Perhaps the most notable Siege of Paris achievement is "Horsemen of the Apocalypse" as it indicates that Eivor will unlock a new ability called Plague of Rats. Simplistic enough, this will likely see Eivor summon a swarm of rats to attack an enemy. However, if Siege of Paris is introducing new AC Valhalla abilities, it stands to reason that Wrath of the Druids' release will as well. Finally, instead of the Children of Danu, it seems Eivor will be once again encountering the Order of the Ancients in France.
While these are no doubt interesting, fans will just have to wait and see if Ubisoft has more up its sleeve.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
