The combination of the crack (based on the EMPRESS release) and the Dodi Repack is currently considered the "Gold Standard" for playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla on PC without the official Ubisoft Connect DRM. The Empress release was notable for removing the VMProtect and Denuvo DRM entirely, which solved many of the stuttering issues present in the original retail release.

The "verified" status of this repack depends entirely on the source of the download:
