Viking Love Life Advice (Not Really) - How to Score Valhalla's Most Metal Ending in Assassin's Creed Valhalla
So you finished pillaging your way through beautiful (and surprisingly chill) England, made a cozy little settlement at Ravensthorpe, and even patted a few adorable cats. But hold on, there's more to this Viking vacation than epic raids and questionable fashion choices. You crave the true ending, the one that'll have Odin himself giving you a high five (assuming he approves of high fives, the jury's still out on that one).
Fear not, fellow warrior! This guide will cut through the endless longship rides and confusing alliance webs like a well-aimed axe to the face. Here's what you need to do to snag the ending that's more glorious than a mountain of loot.
1. Bromance Over Romance: The Art of Not Stepping on Bro- toes
Look, Eivor's a Viking. Romance is great, but true Valhalla glory comes from loyalty to your crew. This especially applies to your brother, Sigurd, who's basically a walking plot device with anger issues. Here's the key: don't get frisky with Randvi while she's still married to Sigurd. Trust me, a jealous Viking warlord is not someone you want on your bad side. Think flying axe to the back of the head, not a stern talking to. Awkward!
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
2. Treasure? We Hardly Knew Her! The Importance of Playing Nice
Early on, you'll be presented with a tempting pile of loot – enough silver to buy a small dragon (which, by the way, would be awesome). However, resist the urge to hoard like a particularly greedy squirrel. Instead, leave the treasure for King Styrbjorn. It's the bro-thing to do, and Sigurd will appreciate your honesty (and maybe even throw in a fist bump. Baby steps, people).
3. Respect Your Elders (Even When They're Kinda Jerks): The Sigurd Seal of Approval
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
Sigurd may be a bit...intense, but he's the Jarl (leader) of Ravensthorpe. Throughout the game, you'll face choices that impact Sigurd's opinion of your leadership skills. When in doubt, play it safe and agree with his judgments. Even if they seem a little Odin-ly cuckoo, remember, happy Sigurd equals happy ending.

4. Sharing is Caring: The Importance of Not Being a Greedy Gus
There will be times when Ravensthorpe residents have disagreements. Here's the golden rule: don't be a power-hungry tyrant and shove your own solutions down everyone's throat. Instead, encourage cooperation and find common ground. Remember, a strong settlement is built on teamwork, not just blind loyalty to a crazy-haired Viking (although that does have its merits).
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
5. Sometimes, Letting Go is the Most Metal Thing You Can Do
The final decision is a doozy. Trust Sigurd's judgment on a crucial Ravensthorpe matter. It might feel counter-intuitive, but remember, you've been building him up the whole game (suppressing your inner Lothario, returning treasure, and all that). Have some faith in your brother!
Bonus Tip: Don't Punch Basim (Seriously, Don't Do It)
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
There will be a moment of glorious tension. Resist the urge to clock Basim in the face. It might feel satisfying in the moment, but trust us, it leads down a dark path (and possibly a not-so-great ending).
Following these Viking-approved guidelines should lead you to the most epic ending Valhalla has to offer. Remember, true glory comes from loyalty, respect, and maybe a little bit of self-sacrifice. Now get out there and conquer England (and maybe find a nice dragon to ride)!
