Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Story Summary
Lunden
Further afield, Eivor travels to Lunden (London) and makes friends with the town’s local authorities – the Reeves, Stowe and Erke – whose attempts to keep the peace are thwarted by members of The Order.
After a thorough investigation of the area, Eivor discovers the identity of the assassins who murdered the chief of police and eliminates four key personnel from The Order, which involves a fairly substantial battle. A friendship is forged with The Reeves of Lunden.
Back at Ravensthorpe, Hythem is pleased with Eivor’s efforts. Later, Eivor makes a rousing speech in front of the settlement’s inhabitants celebrating the many victories they have had in forging alliances and establishing a town.
Asgard & Jotunheim Quest Arc
Later, Eivor is greeted by Valka, a Seer from Norway who has come to settle in England. After building her a hut she encourages Eivor to drink a hallucinogenic potion that essentially transports him to Asgard.
Here the second storyline in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla takes place, with Eivor role-playing Odin (but called Havi) as the ethereal land attempts to fend off attacks from the giants of Jotenheim, as well as internal conflicts between godly figures from Norse mythology like Thor, Loki, and Freyja.
Eivor also experiences visions reliving Odin’s attempts to avert Ragnarok, with Odin and the Aesir drinking a magical mead that will ensure their souls will be reincarnated as humans after Ragnarok.
This quest arc continues throughout the rest of the game in three separate arcs depending on when the player wishes to engage with them. In brief, Havi travels to Jotunheim and retrieves the mead, ensuring that he lives on as a human after Ragnorok.
It is implied that this is how he and Eivor are linked, and later in the story, we discover that he is, in fact, the reincarnation of Odin.
The events in England mirror those in Asgard and Jotunheim, with the former foreboding how Sigurd and Eivor’s relationship will play out.
Dag Becomes Angry, Randvi Gets Fresh Air
After Eivor wakes and returns to the longroom, Randvi asks him to hear two townsfolk who are quarreling. After sitting in the throne and passing judgment, Dag, one of the senior members of Eivor’s raiding party, is disgruntled about what he perceives as Eivor trying to steal away control of Ravensthorpe from Sigung.
After the speech, Eivor speaks with Randvi who seems distant and overtired. He then takes on a day trip to Gatensbridge for fresh air, and it’s here the player can choose to romance Randvi; either way, Eivor is faced with the next chapter of his quest across England. There are several options, but logically it makes sense to visit Oxenfordscire to catch up with Sigurd.
