Viking Love Life and Axe Etiquette: How to Nail the AC Valhalla Ending
So you've carved a bloody swathe through Anglo-Saxon England, built a settlement that would make Ron Swanson weep with pride, and probably gotten lost chasing glowing blue butterflies at least a dozen times. But hold on, valiant Vikingr, because before you set sail for Valhalla's all-you-can-eat mead hall, there's the small matter of the ending.
Because let's face it, a bad ending is like forgetting your battle axe at a lute player's recital - embarrassing. Don't worry, though, because with a little guidance (and maybe a side helping of mythical foresight), you'll be sailing into the sunset with a grin as wide as a fjord.

| How To Get Best Ac Valhalla Ending |
Chapter 1: The Bro Code of Ravensthorpe
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
First things first, this whole "good ending" thing hinges on your relationship with your brother, Sigurd. Think of him as your ultimate quest giver, only instead of fetch quests, it's all about proving you're worthy of being Jarl (leader) of Ravensthorpe. Here's the key:
-
Be a Good Housemate: Remember that time you "borrowed" all his hunting trophies for target practice? Yeah, not cool. In the opening chapter, don't steal King Styrbjorn's loot. Sigurd likes a fresh start, and frankly, England has enough loot to make a dragon blush.
-
Respect the Spouse-to-Be: Look, we all know Randvi is a total catch, but unless you fancy a smackdown from a very grumpy Sigurd, hold off on the romance until later. There's plenty of time for smooching after they've, ahem, sorted things out.
-
Bros Before Hos: Sigurd and Basim will have a bit of a disagreement later on. Resist the urge to punch either of them. A fistfight might be the Viking way, but it's not the Sigurd-approval way.
Chapter 2: Axe-ually Important Decisions
Throughout your adventures, you'll encounter some rather grumpy characters who might challenge you to a duel. Here's the golden rule: Always let them keep their axe!
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.

Seriously, denying a Viking their axe in the afterlife is just mean. Imagine showing up to Valhalla in your jim-jams. Not cool.
Chapter 3: Don't Be a Busybody
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Ravensthorpe might be your baby, but sometimes it's best to let the grown-ups handle things. When Sigurd makes judgements about the settlement, especially after the Suthsexe and Essexe quests, don't contradict him. Even if it seems harsh, trust the Jarl.
Chapter 4: You've Got the Power
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
There will be other choices throughout the game, some with more impact than others. Here's a cheat sheet for a generally good Viking path:
- Spare Rued in East Anglia (let Oswald sort him out later).
- Be honest with Ubba in Sciropscire.
- Pick the right traitor in Essexe (gotta use that Odin-sight!).
- In Snotinghamscire, let the two candidates rule together. Sharing is caring, even among Vikings.
- For Eurvicscire and Hamtunscire, follow your gut. There aren't always easy answers.
The Takeaway: Be a Chill Viking
Look, Valhalla isn't going anywhere. Focus on building a sweet settlement, making some epic memories (and maybe a few enemies), and being a decent human being (well, Viking). By following these not-so-serious tips, you'll secure a finale worthy of a saga and avoid any awkward family reunions in the afterlife. Now get out there and conquer England (with honor, of course)!
