Odin Valhalla Rising: Seal Stone System Guide

If you’ve been diving into Odin: Valhalla Rising and want to get the edge in both PvE and PvP, the Seal Stone system is something you absolutely can’t ignore. Whether you’re new or just looking to optimize, my guide will walk you through the whole process, from activating your first Seal Stone to unleashing Seal Essence buffs that can push your build to the next level. Let’s break it down!

Seal Stone System Guide

Think of Seal Stones as buff-giving artifacts that grow stronger with you. When you defeat dungeon bosses, you unlock these stones, each one tied to a specific chapter or encounter. Activate them, enhance them, and you’ll be able to extract their power through something called Seal Essence.

In short:

• Defeat bosses → Unlock Seal Stones
• Enhance them → Get stronger buffs
• Use Seal Essence → Apply buffs during combat

How to Activate Seal Stones

Getting started is simple:

1. Tap the ☰ menu at the top-right of your screen.
2. Select Sealstone from the options.
3. In the Seal Stone tab, scroll through the pages to find stones you’ve unlocked.
4. Hit Activate at the bottom to unlock the stone’s power.

Tip: Each dungeon boss corresponds to a unique Seal Stone. So if you want a specific buff, keep track of which boss drops what!

Enhancing Seal Stones (Without Regret)

Here’s where things get spicy. Each Seal Stone can be enhanced up to level 10, and each level boosts the power of the buffs you’ll later extract.

To enhance:

• Tap the Enhance button.
• You’ll need gold and specific enhancement materials.
• Each level gives stronger stats, but be careful, certain stages have a chance to fail, and a failed attempt can drop your level.

Auto-Enhance Option

• Use the Auto Enhance button to set a target level.
• If you run out of gold or mats mid-process, it’ll stop automatically.
• Great for saving time, but always double-check your resources!

Each Seal Stone also offers different buffs. Want more crit? Maybe extra defense? There’s a stone for that. Just browse their effects in the enhancement tab.

Remember: These buffs are only active when you use Seal Essence, more on that below.

How to Use Seal Essence

Seal Essence is your key to unlocking all the buffs from your activated and enhanced Seal Stones. It’s a consumable that grants powerful, temporary effects, think of it as your in-combat booster shot.

Here’s how to get and use it:

1. In the Seal Stone tab, press Create Essence.
2. You’ll need Grindstones to craft it.
3. Once created, it’s automatically added to your quick slot on the main screen.
4. Tap the Seal Essence icon to activate it, tap again to turn it off.

It works on AUTO too, which is great when you’re in the middle of a tough boss fight or PvP match.

When (and Why) to Use Seal Essence

So when should you pop your Seal Essence? Here’s what I recommend:

• PvE: Before a boss fight or high-difficulty dungeon. The buffs can turn a tough fight into a breeze.
• PvP: Going into the arena or guild war? Activate it for the edge you need.

It’s simple to use, but powerful when timed right. And the best part? It stacks all the benefits from your currently active and enhanced Seal Stones.

Wrap-Up

Here are a few quick takeaways to keep your Seal Stone game on point:

• Activate Strategically: Focus on stones that complement your class or build.
• Enhance Gradually: Don’t blow all your gold at once. Plan out your enhancement path.
• Keep Materials Stocked: Grind those dungeons for enhancement mats and Grindstones.
• Use Seal Essence Often: It’s a limited-duration buff, so time it wisely, but don’t hoard it too long.
• Enable auto-use for Seal Essence in your quick slot if you’ve got plenty stored. Saves time and keeps you buffed without thinking about it.

Seal Stones and Seal Essence can seem overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, they’re a total game-changer. Whether you’re min-maxing for DPS or building a tanky frontline, mastering this system is a must. Stick with it, keep grinding those bosses, and don’t forget to keep enhancing your stones, you’ll feel the difference in every fight. Up next, check out our guide on how to earn Diamonds in OVR!
