Original story (published on March 15, 2022) follows:
Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla in late 2020 as the latest installment in the successful saga. As the name suggests, the game is set in Norse mythology.
The Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla world is full of elements drawn directly from Norse mythology. For instance, you can face the Jotun Warriors, a race of frost giants who opposed the gods.
However, some Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players have been facing an issue where they are unable to attack Jotun Warriors as the game recognizes them as friendly characters (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players unable to attack Jotun Warriors
According to multiple reports, when some Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players try to attack Jotun Warriors, their weapons pass through them as if they were friendly characters or NPCs instead of enemies.
I have a weird bug. To put it simply, I can’t kill any Jotun warrior, including the ones in Raid camps.
In my game every time I try to hit them, my weapon goes right through them as if the are ghosts, and they don’t see me either, it’s like I’m invisible to them.

Apparently, only some specific abilities are currently dealing damage to Jotun Warriors.
@UbisoftSupport bug in Assassin Creed Valhalla where Jotuns and White wolves will not attack me/only can do damage to some of them when in the “Power of Muspelheim” Hugr-Rip ability. Can’t collect artifacts/help dwarves because of this. Please help

So, as a workaround you can try to attack them using Power of Muspelheim or the Power of Jotunheim abilities.
I found a work around. Use the Power of Muspelheim or the Power of Jotunheim. It should let you assassinate them.
I also reported this issue to support on friday and they said they working on it.

If the above doesn’t work for you, you can also try clearing the riddle “Pit of Slaughter” in Jotunheim. After doing that, the Jotun Warriors become hostile again, according to reports.
The Ubisoft team is already aware
Ubisoft confirmed that they are aware of the issue and are investigating. However, there are no details yet on an ETA for a fix.
Hello! We are sorry to hear you are encountering this as well. Our teams are investigating similar reports of players being unable to attack Jotun. Please share with us your Ubisoft account username and we’d be happy to add your information to the report.
