Thank god. They’ve gotten rid of the non-character Layla and have replaced her with the most interesting modern day protagonist since Desmond. I’m actually excited to see where the modern day story goes now.
I don't think basim will betray the assassin's, he had the knowledge of what the order of ancients may become in the Valhalla game, and is now focussed on reuniting his family now, and searching for his children.
Hey Layla is just as cool as Desmond. Just because she came after, doesn’t mean the OH is better. More importantly, now we play as Basim in the next one??
Sean: Soooo, where’s Layla? Basim: It’s complicated... Sean: And who are you. Basim *in his head*: I’m the reincarnation of an ancient Isu being who was the inspiration for the Norse god Loki who lived 75,000 years ago before implanting my consciousness into the body of an Arab Assassin in the 9th century who then spent the last 1000 years trapped in a Norwegian super computer before being rejuvenated by a magical staff which just so happens to contain the consciousness of my long-dead girlfriend “It’s... complicated.”
I still dont understand, if Basim is from the Norse isu pantheon, how he is related to Aleteia who is supposed to be a Greek Isu? Or maybe Aleteia its that giant witch from jotunheim
@@Negative_creep3383 Loki is a Jotun Isu.... the Jotun are the group of deities who rule the North American region. Hence why Hyrrokin (Juno)'s prison was there... her consciousness was locked up in Suttungr's vault... the Vault which appears in Utgardr when Odin visits Jötunheimr... the same vault from where Odin slept with Gunloo (Minerva), stole the Mead and fought Suttungr (Jupiter). The Grand Temple in AC3 where Desmond dies... and Suttungr's Vault in AC: Valhalla are the same place. Loki had an affair with a Jotun Angrboda (known to modern day people as Aletheia) and fathered three children with her... one of whom being the giant wolf Odin fights in Eivor's visions. As to how he became a giant wolf... is yet to be explained. Unlike Marvel Movies... Loki in real life mythos.... was the best friend of Odin and a blood-brother (blood brother is a friend with whom you fought in a war alongside... bonded over it and swore a blood oath of loyalty to each other... in an effort to strengthen the loyalty you have for one another).

Basim/Loki is an interesting character that would offer interesting insights to the AC universe, with a possible ending for Loki, alethia and their children being together again. Also the potential for Loki to undergo changes that can see him become similar to Ezio Auditore.
I love Basim too (Valhalla was the first i played, so idk the story too much) i wish we could play him cause i think how he got to be could be very intersting!
This rpg trilogy feels like a course-correction for where the story should have been going with Desmond. Glad they’re committing to the Isu lore, making Sages a thing, an inverted Isu Animus that looks forward, and confirming Desmond traded places with Juno in the temple. They wrote themselves out of a hole, and now they can go anywhere again with the story. It’s an exciting time for AC.
Ubisoft rehired the writer of the original AC games: Darby Mcdevitt. He is the one that wrote the storyline for Valhalla which explains why it’s connecting back to the old games.

@@eden20111 if that’s true then all that’s needed is the original soundtrack composer Jasper Kyd and you can guarantee yourself a great AC game and a great sounding one too
I think it’s funny that Loki and Aletheia were married because in greek mythology Aletheia is the goddess of truth and in norse mythology Loki is the god of mischief and trickery.
Seeing how basim is the reincarnation of loki and probably has some of his DNA, I think he might become the first modern day assasin who can use the animus to show his memories as loki and we can finally see the isu era in its beautiful ancient glory.
@@manuliza6420 That would be cool to see. The closest thing we have ever gotten to that is the AC Odyssey DLC. They might do it as the next Valhalla dlc or the next game

Imagine how Shaun and Rebecca are feeling though. They had two friends who saved the world (Desmond and Layla) and lost both of them. Albeit in different senses, but still…
Id hardly call Layla their friend. Work colleague is more accurate. They worked with her because literally no one else in the entire Brotherhood wanted to deal with her
Basim doesnt exist. It was loki all along. Even tho i finished the asgard campaign i never noticed how basim and loki got the same voice actor. Only at the end i understood that it has to be loki because he said we killed his son.
@@abradolflincler1563 Basim never existed in this game but he was certainly the main consciousness in his body before Loki took over. Just like Odin tried to trick Eivor and take over. Eivor resisted and prevailed, Basim failed.
No, this is Basim. He’s a reincarnation of Loki. Only difference is whereas Eivor developed her own identity seperate from Odin, Basim embraced the fact that he was a reincarnation and obtained most of Loki’s memories and personality.
@@KingRigo2000 Hm, an interesting way of putting it. It sounds sensible, perhaps I am wrong; I apologize if I didn't get it right, I always assumed Basim existed at some point and Loki "took over" because that's more or less what we see happening to Sigurd, Eivor (to an extent) and Svala - Valka's mother
It feels so wrong being Basim (Loki) now lol and playing as eivor doing quests and all that kinda got mad that he talked shit to eivors skeleton tho lmao

@@mobin-Rahman-m The Isu were never to be trusted at this point. Everything always seem to go back to their power grabs and a few hints in this game already shown the Templar's Father of Understanding maybe a Isu himself controlling them from behind the scene since the founding of the Templars. As for the Assassin order, they have been basically puppets to Athelia and Loki since their founding so in the end the Isu are basicaly controlling both side of this war for control over humanity. All of this is nothing more than a war between Isus for control over humanity while humanity acts as their puppets in this war through the Assassin Order for Athelia and the Templars for the Father of Understanding.
@@orrthehunter this is the same theory that I had about with the Isu, the Assassins, and the Templars. Juno, Aletheia, and this so called "Father of Understanding" are influencing both sides to kill each other for the name of peace
@@alexanderthewolf9435 There is a letter in Aelfred's office that says that the Order of the Ancients worships the Isu and specifically three of them, the Father, the Mother and the Sacred Voice. The "Father" apparently refers to Jupiter/Tinia and the idea of "Father of Understanding" is that Aelfred, who hated the Order due to their paganism, him being a devoted christian, is that it is an alias of the Abrahamic God.
He can disrespect Eivor all he wants but he never got his revenge in the end, so he may laugh it up to a degree but he never got what he wanted exactly, to kill Odin/Eivor himself.
His revenge will be taking Eivor/Odin's skills, memories, etc, and using them to undo what Odin has done to Loki, mocking Odin's failed attempt at making Loki suffer.
Basim is the only past character that survived the franchise without being killed in the ending. He has no ill intention to rule the world, he only wants to gather his family, though it is possible he expect brutal method on doing so. An Isu that actually teaming up with humans.
Think about this: In one alternate universe basim got hit with the puny god move by hulk In another alternate universe his father is Kratos the god of war
In this universe he became the main protagonist of the entire trilogy (his and his wife's manipulation influenced both Kassandra and with her Layla) and got his own damn game set in the far East.
For anyone thats still confused about basim in 2024 (Don't read if you don't want spoilers): At the end of AC mirage, basim learns that he is actually an ISU reincarnation of Loki Loki is reborn through basim and has the goal of being reunited with his ISU family or at least their reincarnated counterparts. Despite this, basim remained loyal to the creed and continued to track members of the ancient order. Its at this point he meets sigurd who he chooses to follow back to Norway as he detects that he is also a reincarnation of the ISU. AC Valhalla then begins where basim travels with sigurd and eivor to England where he continues to learn more about sigurd visions while also tracking the order of ancients in the area. This is where he learns that Eivor is also an ISU reincarnation even though evior has no knowledge of them. So after Sigurd and Eivor locate the ISU site, why does basim attack them? This is because Sigurd is a reincarnation of Tyr, and Eivor is a reincarnation of odin. Both of which during the ISU time were responsible for the death of Lokis son Fenrir, therefore basim/loki wants revenge on them for this despite eivor still having no knowledge of their ISU past. Basim is defeated and is then effectively 'killed' by the ISU simulation machine where he remained trapped in 'the gray' for thousands of years. Now fast forwarding to the modern day, Basim/Loki finds and locates Layla after she acquired the staff at the end of AC Odyssey and tricked her into finding the remains of eivor so they could find the ISU site in Norway. Layla finds the site and is killed by the simulation machine as well and taken to the gray. Its at this point basim/loki tricks layla a final time into releasing him and is now finally able to be reborn into the modern era. He survives this process thanks to the staff which contains the soul of his lover Aletheia, an ISU who is known as Angraboda in Norse mythology. Basim is now reborn and is ready to continue his work of finding his family through ISU reincarnations in the modern era. How he goes about doing this remains to be seen! I've never really cared much for the ISU story in AC, but this part has really peaked my interest in the series. Despite the state of ubisoft, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Basim going forward.
Only one thing to add Basim thought what Sigurd is the Mad one because canonicaly eivor is female so basim did not recognised her as odin. But once you find the saga stone and kill fulke sigurd called eivor The mad one. At this point basim understood his real target(Odin) and lost most of interest in sigurd.
So this Basim obviously is another re-incarnation of Loki and with the way he's talking he has all the memories of the past. He's a living time capsule.
I honestly had no idea what they were trying to do with the main story after Assassin's Creed 3. It always felt like they were just winging it with no set plans on the story or how to finish it. But I have to admit, whether you like Layla or not, I found her story at least helped bring the story back to something to kind of look forward to now. I'm genuinely interested to see how this pans out.
I like what they did because it also simplies the story to a more root conflict: what is free will, especially if there are two wills fighting within a single person. It’s like they owned it and committed to the the Juno thing, by introducing Sages. It’s also like, a human “synchronizing” with an Isu ancestor.

@@phantom-zone229 I think Basim/Loki are the good guys against Odin because if I recall, Aletheia sees greatness in mankind while Juno sees them a catastrophe on Earth. Remember the Norse God visions that Evior gets when drinking the Potion? The two female Jotnar represents the two Isu.
People who hate basim basicly got the perspective because of what he has done to eivor and sigurd. But, basim only had beef with them because they are the reincarnation of odin and tyr. Basim still hold his creed. So it's perfect for him to be present day MC, unless you didn't count gavin banks or kiyoshi takakura :v
I hope we get a game with an actual Assassin protagonist. Either connected through Basim or with him as a watcher to the next protagonist(s). Depending on how the next game(s) will be.
@@thecommentguy9380 really? Some of the Isus have disagreements on how they rule humanity. Like Poseidon of Atlantis, even though it was a simulation. What about Jupiter and Minerva? Sure they 'once' ruled them but they saw the errors later. Alethia, I think (from Odyssey), said what's the point of controlling and experimenting humans.
@@dikastederook6380 let's not mistake her for Juno, because those two are at odds prior to history. Remember when Evior dreamed from the potion they drank? The one when Havi went to Jotunheim? Angrboda and Hyrrokin are the Norse Mythology versions of Aletheia and Juno, having the arguments about the status of humanity. One says they're a catastrophe and the other says they're worth living. Can you guess which is whom? Edit: I put 'he' instead of 'they', forgetting that any player can pick the gender. I thought of Evior as the male because of Odin.
I believe Alethia has been able to get over Loki since time has been normal for her. Loki had control and time meant nothing where he was. She spent time with Kassandra/Alexios that they could have seen a route to stopping Loki. Alethia didn't like Juno and knew her plan. She must have gotten a message to William after Desmond's death to tell him about Layla and probably told him a way to bring back Desmond. One of the other temples probably has the solution and Alethia outsmarted Juno and Aita.
I hope Basim doesn´t turn out to be just a villain. He succeded in coming back and i do hope he actually turns out to be an ally to the assassins albeit one not entirely selfless but not another generic evil badman.
@@RainSennin_ismyAlt Yup, and he has plenty of reason to dislike the Isu and anyone who tries to emulate them (cough cough, Templars, cough), so he will probably stay allied with the Assassins.
I feel like Basim is the new antagonist of the franchise being immortal with the staff and pretending to be a protagonist. We don’t know his endgame yet but I’m sure we will in future games
Not sure what evil thing he has on his mind seeing that he only wants to find his children (who I’m not sure are alive) and maybe (and this is a theory) give his wife a physical body like how the instruments of the first will gave Juno a body.
@@manuliza6420 Right, If people actually care to look at Basim's POV. he might be actually the assassin here, because in england crusaders form which is related to the templars (1110+) and Basim Ibn Ishaq is from middle east like Altaïr Ibn La'had and Al-Mu'alim
Nah Loki’s an alright guy. Just trying to reunite his family after Odin tore it apart. True he did use Layla and ‘killed’ nice guy Assassin Basim by taking over his consciousness. He’s a grey character.
I'm having severe mixed feelings about this and I've actively avoided most footage. I stopped after completing Revelations because I knew, somehow, something like this would happen. I get that all videogames are mostly fantasy, but for me it wasn't just the graphics or the mechanics or even the fighting skills employed. Assassin's Creed 2 through Revelations had me hooked because of how historically accurate the content was.
Theory: I think if they make another gamer we will follow Basim either in the present day or he will be in the animus and will follow alethia or fight and possibly defeat her or will do what Basim said he would do which is find his children and reunite his family. Idk I like these games

@@sebastianalexanderfloresor2894 good theory tbh i really like that this game has so much cool lore and none of it is exposition it requires exploration and is very cool subtle and lots of great foreshadowing
At long last Loki got the last laugh. Something that immediately jumped out at me is Alethia's moniker: Goddes of Truth, I find it so important due to the fact that Loki is the God of Lies, and together they become the embodiment of “truth manipulation": using lies to manipulate the truth. What's more, Loki/Basim seems to have taken a move from the Reverse Flash's old play book, he is the only character that's managed to see the future, and actually manipulates it so that he gets what he wants, no one has ever managed to pull this off this well, to my knowledge.
At this point I have no idea what is going to happen next, I hope that in the future DLCs they will continue the present days story and Desmond and Layla are going to solve that thing
Unfortunately (Desmond) is still around, so I expect him to influence time with Layla in the grey. Either way Basem will lose massively in future or something will happen it will make Loki think differently on how to deal with abstergo during modern times in the next AC game.
So I’m sure this can possibly be seen as a dumb question, but I’m really not clear on this: Do they know that he is Loki? Like the mythical man known for chaos, mischief, trickery etc? He clearly says/implies that his people created inventions like the Animus, so I’d like to think it’s obvious they know he’s one of the resurrected Isu, even though technically it’s not flat out said in the “footage” that they watch. And if they DO know his true identity, are they trusting him simply because he is on the side of the Assassins? I will say nothing really happens to imply he doesn’t believe in the Assassins cause, and whether he is a bad guy can be argued since he seemed to mainly hate Odin/Eivor for what they did to his son, and he doesn’t seem to hate all humanity or want to rule the world or whatever like Juno. And I have other questions but I’m rambling a lot. If anyone has thoughts or if there is something I missed please feel free to chime in 😁
It's kind of weird because even though Basim is Loki, we do see him actually teach Eivor about the Creed as well as assassin techniques so he might actually care about it.
@@unc54 i don’t think he knew that he was loki in the beginning. He found out somehow and only after that his mind snapped because eivor (odin) killed his son fenris
1 - misquote, crossbows were used heavily at the time, it was removed because it trivialized stealth 2 - don’t act like reincarnation, mind controlling apples and talking to space wizards across time hasn’t been a thing since the first games
Given the gravity of how you piece all these events together. Who was used by who. And who their true enemy really is now. Ubisoft may have a chance to undo the damage they made.
Would’ve spoken Old English which wouldn’t be understandable to any Modern English Speakers like ourselves to him he wouldn’t be able to understand a word we spoke so I have no idea how he’s speaking clear Modern English.
It's likely he can understand and speak every language. In this universe, human language come from the Isu so every human language is just a fragmented form of his language.
Also, the Isu know English. We see several Isu talk fine with Desmond. We even see Minerva converse with Ezio so they probably know all human languages.
If the staff can now bring you back to life Imagine if they bring back Bayek Imagine how he'd react to what his hidden ones have becom Altair and ezio i love them but they had good send offs that dont need to be ruined bayek didn't and considering he's the founder

It’s all thanks to the calculations.
Not really Loki. Loki is from the nordic mythology. And the god Loki is just an example for an isu human. Maybe he's called too Loki, maybe not. Whatever
Okay ngl. There's something extremely disturbing about an ancient human mummy suddenly reamimating back to life. The process looks extremely painful too. Like his very cells were stressed...
I got away from AC after completing Unity (2014) +, I felt that the story had no direction and that essence that I felt by playing the first games was gone. A few weeks ago I had the curiosity to play Origins. I did and I was surprised by how fun it was so I moved on to play Odyssey and it was also very fun. My issue with them was that I felt the main story was telling me nothing. After playing that hell of a long game that Odyssey was I wanted to know what was next but since I knew that Valhalla was even longer than Odyssey I just watched a summary of the game, and to my surprise I liked the clever way the Nordic mythology was portrayed in this story involving the Isu and the main Story. If I played I would not get it the first time or seen magic being involved I feel that this story lost its path but so far is interesting. So, seeing this and knowing that AC Mirage is close to being released is Basim the antagonist? What are we going to find in his life? In what moment of his life his ancient life took his mind? I am curious.
Getting used by the ISU again and again Kassandra and Layla with the added benefit that the mad Loki u killed stayed alive to talk shit to Eivor and went into the animus as Eivor is so wrong. No wonder 4 was one of the best. Succeeded against the isu, and at the stayed the same analyst to Kenway among the best story to boot.
What I’m confused about is, Are all the ISU from different mythologies in this universe the same group of ISU? Like only 8 survived from NORSE ISU and the Greek ISU died bruh weee different groups of ISU revered as gods around the planet or sumn bruh I’m lost now
The Isu are basically extinct. The Aletheia in the staff is not the real Aletheia, it's only her subconscious uploaded into the staff. Yeah, they're very advanced like that.
Aesir are the Norse Pantheon of the Isu. There is a Celtic Pantheon which houses Excalibur in the Isu barracks. The Greco-Roman pantheon is the main ones we have been dealing with throughout the series (Juno, Jupiter, Minerva etc).
I think the best way to explain it as that the different mythologies are basicallt different tribes of isu So the norse gods are one tribe while the greek/Romans are another

Aletheia did not betray Layla. She gave humanity a chance to survive future catastrophes and dystopias by having assassins (who love freedom) take control of the calculations tree in the Grey.
Honestly, I'd more say vengeful. Odin genuinely screwed him over repeatedly, and now that Loki has gotten the last laugh over Odin, he can devote himself to more important matters, such as resurrecting Alethia and spoking the wheels of the Templars.
Its the same basim from Mirage and the one that appeared alongside eivor and sigurd in valhalla. Its just he now has the ISU memories of his time before as loki. So basim IS loki reborn. The basim we see in AC Valhalla already has the knowledge of his past life as loki and goes with sigurd to England because he knows sigurd is also an ISU reincarnation of Tyr.
Doesn’t this cutscene showcases a collide of two power? Basim saying “bring William miles to me” instead of “can you take me to meet him” shows he’s looking to change the leadership and lead Assassin himself. But would he do anything for it? We already know Basim in the past has not followed creed but did what pleases him. He still have contributed to the cause a lot. Furthermore, I am excited to see if Basim secretly hates the current assassins considering he’s an Isu and they made humans to be slave. I am sure they wouldn’t be easily open enough to live and work alongside them.
Loki had no interest in enslaving humans. We know his wife, who he loved greatly, wanted humans to be liberated and treated as equals. So i’d doubt she’d fall in love with someone who’d want to take advantage of them like Juno did. So i see no reason why he’d wanna harm mankind as a whole like Aita’s sages. And i doubt he’d want to work with the templars because as we’ve seen with other sages, they’d just study him like a dissecting a frog for a science project.
This is crazy to watch especially after finishing Mirage.

Basim/Loki is an interesting character that would offer interesting insights to the AC universe, with a possible ending for Loki, alethia and their children being together again. Also the potential for Loki to undergo changes that can see him become similar to Ezio Auditore.
I love Basim too (Valhalla was the first i played, so idk the story too much) i wish we could play him cause i think how he got to be could be very intersting!
This rpg trilogy feels like a course-correction for where the story should have been going with Desmond. Glad they’re committing to the Isu lore, making Sages a thing, an inverted Isu Animus that looks forward, and confirming Desmond traded places with Juno in the temple. They wrote themselves out of a hole, and now they can go anywhere again with the story. It’s an exciting time for AC.
Ubisoft rehired the writer of the original AC games: Darby Mcdevitt. He is the one that wrote the storyline for Valhalla which explains why it’s connecting back to the old games. Ubisoft is finally realizing their mistake. It’s been confirmed he will write the next AC games. He is also involved with the upcoming Dawn of Ragnorak DLC.
@@eden20111 if that’s true then all that’s needed is the original soundtrack composer Jasper Kyd and you can guarantee yourself a great AC game and a great sounding one too
@@Pepper1770 Jasper kid worked on this game
Well damn, i guess i'm gonna have to play valhalla just for the story. I'm not sold at all by the gameplay and parkour
Reading this makes me want to boot up the series again. I stopped playing a long time ago, around Unity Era.
I think it’s funny that Loki and Aletheia were married because in greek mythology Aletheia is the goddess of truth and in norse mythology Loki is the god of mischief and trickery.
Opposites do attract. I'm very interested in how they met and got together to have such a bond that stretches millenia
Seeing how basim is the reincarnation of loki and probably has some of his DNA, I think he might become the first modern day assasin who can use the animus to show his memories as loki and we can finally see the isu era in its beautiful ancient glory.
@@manuliza6420 That would be cool to see. The closest thing we have ever gotten to that is the AC Odyssey DLC. They might do it as the next Valhalla dlc or the next game
@@insertfunnyusernamehere3184 the only isu city that we rly get to see in that game is Atlantis, but the isu a lot of locations such as the city of feyan (where Juno was born) the garden of eden, and maybe what Asgard actually looks like ( seeing how in Valhalla we see it through eivors perspective who doesn’t exactly know what the isu are.
A good, believable lie is usually nearly the truth but with choice embellishments.
Imagine how Shaun and Rebecca are feeling though. They had two friends who saved the world (Desmond and Layla) and lost both of them. Albeit in different senses, but still…
Id hardly call Layla their friend. Work colleague is more accurate. They worked with her because literally no one else in the entire Brotherhood wanted to deal with her
That was so cool. One of the best moments of this franchise for sure.

Keep in mind that it isn’t Basim we are seeing. It is Loki reincarnated through the sage process Juno gave to the Isu in Norway.
Basim doesnt exist. It was loki all along. Even tho i finished the asgard campaign i never noticed how basim and loki got the same voice actor. Only at the end i understood that it has to be loki because he said we killed his son.
@@abradolflincler1563 Basim never existed in this game but he was certainly the main consciousness in his body before Loki took over. Just like Odin tried to trick Eivor and take over. Eivor resisted and prevailed, Basim failed.
No, this is Basim. He’s a reincarnation of Loki. Only difference is whereas Eivor developed her own identity seperate from Odin, Basim embraced the fact that he was a reincarnation and obtained most of Loki’s memories and personality.
@@KingRigo2000 Hm, an interesting way of putting it. It sounds sensible, perhaps I am wrong; I apologize if I didn't get it right, I always assumed Basim existed at some point and Loki "took over" because that's more or less what we see happening to Sigurd, Eivor (to an extent) and Svala - Valka's mother
Imagine being a dead body for a thousand fucking years and then just waking up. Imagine the pain
It feels so wrong being Basim (Loki) now lol and playing as eivor doing quests and all that kinda got mad that he talked shit to eivors skeleton tho lmao
I'm interested in seeing what reason basim and the assasins relive more of eivors memories during the dlc for
i feel the same way bro..i just feel like i’m disrespecting eivor by playing!
Finished the Game today! I feel the same honestly!! Thank God I didn’t Purchase the Gold or Ultimate Edition!
@@JulianWijeyawardane why? I love witcher part of the game. All characters from assasins creed are dead. Maybe if only animus and reader in future can bring back everyone. Just imagine Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno Dorian, Fry Twins, Bayek and Aya, and Alexios with Kassandra. All great assassins of the past with the Reader will help William Miles and remaining assassins
Imagine leaving the villian in hell only for him to out live you then use a computer to play simulated dna memories of your life feels like one of the weirder videogame plot twists
AC fans: How do we gonna fight the Templar without Desmond and ezio ?
Ubi soft: By releasing the chaos, an evil...
Loki will dismantle the Templars and Assassins. He will create a new world with his love.
I personally hope Basim/Loki HUMILIATES the Templars.
Damn so kassandra was used by Athelia for thousand of years for this and Layla too damn you Athelia
Betrayed by the Isu again?!
@@mobin-Rahman-m The Isu were never to be trusted at this point. Everything always seem to go back to their power grabs and a few hints in this game already shown the Templar's Father of Understanding maybe a Isu himself controlling them from behind the scene since the founding of the Templars. As for the Assassin order, they have been basically puppets to Athelia and Loki since their founding so in the end the Isu are basicaly controlling both side of this war for control over humanity. All of this is nothing more than a war between Isus for control over humanity while humanity acts as their puppets in this war through the Assassin Order for Athelia and the Templars for the Father of Understanding.
@@orrthehunter this is the same theory that I had about with the Isu, the Assassins, and the Templars. Juno, Aletheia, and this so called "Father of Understanding" are influencing both sides to kill each other for the name of peace
@@alexanderthewolf9435 There is a letter in Aelfred's office that says that the Order of the Ancients worships the Isu and specifically three of them, the Father, the Mother and the Sacred Voice. The "Father" apparently refers to Jupiter/Tinia and the idea of "Father of Understanding" is that Aelfred, who hated the Order due to their paganism, him being a devoted christian, is that it is an alias of the Abrahamic God.
This thread got so deep I’m confused af 😎
He can disrespect Eivor all he wants but he never got his revenge in the end, so he may laugh it up to a degree but he never got what he wanted exactly, to kill Odin/Eivor himself.
Very true, though it begs the question, how did Eivor die, and why did he go back to Vinland???
Wouldn't it be epic if William Miles Is odin
@@pastlife960 I think Elivor died at old age with a peaceful life and a wife and kids and family
@@theforgottenrunner it's been told I believe by a comic or a book Ubisoft released that Eivor was killed by 2 men in Vinland
His revenge will be taking Eivor/Odin's skills, memories, etc, and using them to undo what Odin has done to Loki, mocking Odin's failed attempt at making Loki suffer.
Basim is the only past character that survived the franchise without being killed in the ending.
He has no ill intention to rule the world, he only wants to gather his family, though it is possible he expect brutal method on doing so.
An Isu that actually teaming up with humans.
Making Basim/Loki the main character would really be a breath of fresh air for the series.
How do you feel about Assassins Creed Mirage and Basim being the main character?
@@Rude_Boilove ac mirage great game
Think about this:
In one alternate universe basim got hit with the puny god move by hulk
In another alternate universe his father is Kratos the god of war
In another universe he created the Mask
Kratos wouldn’t play no game with Loki lol
@@5StarRebel well it's his son so atleast Catch would be nice
In this universe he became the main protagonist of the entire trilogy (his and his wife's manipulation influenced both Kassandra and with her Layla) and got his own damn game set in the far East.
I love how the Isu desperately craved immortality but it always came at a cost. Can’t wait to see more of Loki
The cost of potentially losing themselves to the slaves
Releasing loki into the modern day wasnt a good idea
But it’s going to be a fascinating story! I’m actually excited to see what happens in the modern day.
@@pastlife960 it wakes the modern day story up
Next Thor will come in and we'll turn this pile hole into assasin creed: avengers
An isu sworn to the Creed is honestly an interesting enough of a premise. As much as it is Loki it is also still Basim.
Basim's attire closely resembling Desmond's is such a callback.
Basim is one of the most interesting characters of the franchise, that's for sure.
For anyone thats still confused about basim in 2024 (Don't read if you don't want spoilers):
At the end of AC mirage, basim learns that he is actually an ISU reincarnation of Loki Loki is reborn through basim and has the goal of being reunited with his ISU family or at least their reincarnated counterparts.
Despite this, basim remained loyal to the creed and continued to track members of the ancient order. Its at this point he meets sigurd who he chooses to follow back to Norway as he detects that he is also a reincarnation of the ISU.
AC Valhalla then begins where basim travels with sigurd and eivor to England where he continues to learn more about sigurd visions while also tracking the order of ancients in the area. This is where he learns that Eivor is also an ISU reincarnation even though evior has no knowledge of them.
So after Sigurd and Eivor locate the ISU site, why does basim attack them? This is because Sigurd is a reincarnation of Tyr, and Eivor is a reincarnation of odin. Both of which during the ISU time were responsible for the death of Lokis son Fenrir, therefore basim/loki wants revenge on them for this despite eivor still having no knowledge of their ISU past.
Basim is defeated and is then effectively 'killed' by the ISU simulation machine where he remained trapped in 'the gray' for thousands of years. Now fast forwarding to the modern day, Basim/Loki finds and locates Layla after she acquired the staff at the end of AC Odyssey and tricked her into finding the remains of eivor so they could find the ISU site in Norway.
Layla finds the site and is killed by the simulation machine as well and taken to the gray. Its at this point basim/loki tricks layla a final time into releasing him and is now finally able to be reborn into the modern era. He survives this process thanks to the staff which contains the soul of his lover Aletheia, an ISU who is known as Angraboda in Norse mythology.
Basim is now reborn and is ready to continue his work of finding his family through ISU reincarnations in the modern era. How he goes about doing this remains to be seen!
I've never really cared much for the ISU story in AC, but this part has really peaked my interest in the series. Despite the state of ubisoft, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Basim going forward.
W explanation. Interested what Ubisoft will do with Isu storyline in Shadows
Only one thing to add Basim thought what Sigurd is the Mad one because canonicaly eivor is female so basim did not recognised her as odin. But once you find the saga stone and kill fulke sigurd called eivor The mad one. At this point basim understood his real target(Odin) and lost most of interest in sigurd.
Also Basim now has tons of isu artifacts collected and stashed by kassandra
So this Basim obviously is another re-incarnation of Loki and with the way he's talking he has all the memories of the past. He's a living time capsule.
I honestly had no idea what they were trying to do with the main story after Assassin's Creed 3. It always felt like they were just winging it with no set plans on the story or how to finish it. But I have to admit, whether you like Layla or not, I found her story at least helped bring the story back to something to kind of look forward to now. I'm genuinely interested to see how this pans out.
I like what they did because it also simplies the story to a more root conflict: what is free will, especially if there are two wills fighting within a single person. It’s like they owned it and committed to the the Juno thing, by introducing Sages. It’s also like, a human “synchronizing” with an Isu ancestor.
Ubisoft rehired the writer of the original AC games: Darby Mcdevitt. He is the one that wrote the storyline for Valhalla which explains why it’s connecting back to the old games.

Idk why but since the first meeting I found Basim will betray me somehow later in the story. But in the end I got shocked cuz I forgot about.
@@phantom-zone229 I think Basim/Loki are the good guys against Odin because if I recall, Aletheia sees greatness in mankind while Juno sees them a catastrophe on Earth. Remember the Norse God visions that Evior gets when drinking the Potion? The two female Jotnar represents the two Isu.
I think basim my new favorite character i feel like they transitioning now from enzio to basim
Emotional people won't accept replacing Ezio
Bassim seems to be the best AC character
People who hate basim basicly got the perspective because of what he has done to eivor and sigurd. But, basim only had beef with them because they are the reincarnation of odin and tyr. Basim still hold his creed. So it's perfect for him to be present day MC, unless you didn't count gavin banks or kiyoshi takakura :v
I hope we get a game with an actual Assassin protagonist. Either connected through Basim or with him as a watcher to the next protagonist(s). Depending on how the next game(s) will be.
Young Basim will be the next protagonist actually

Isus are Isus, bunch of jackasses that want to enslave humanity.
Kassandra is the most stupid Ac in the franchise... unfortunately and unpleasant for me.
@@thecommentguy9380 really? Some of the Isus have disagreements on how they rule humanity. Like Poseidon of Atlantis, even though it was a simulation.
What about Jupiter and Minerva? Sure they 'once' ruled them but they saw the errors later.
Alethia, I think (from Odyssey), said what's the point of controlling and experimenting humans.
@@CamSiv996 Poseidon was pretty nice. Aletheia had probably some good traits but she was mostly concerned with bringing back Loki.
@@dikastederook6380 let's not mistake her for Juno, because those two are at odds prior to history. Remember when Evior dreamed from the potion they drank? The one when Havi went to Jotunheim? Angrboda and Hyrrokin are the Norse Mythology versions of Aletheia and Juno, having the arguments about the status of humanity. One says they're a catastrophe and the other says they're worth living. Can you guess which is whom?
Edit: I put 'he' instead of 'they', forgetting that any player can pick the gender. I thought of Evior as the male because of Odin.
Just noticed the t shirt basim wears is a wolf with the earth, good reference there to fenrir ending the world
Hope they keep basim as a main playable character in the next game
They do
Good news lol
0:12
Me waking up at 2AM thirsty as fuck
and there's no water bottle nearby, so u gotta get out of the bed to get water.
I believe Alethia has been able to get over Loki since time has been normal for her. Loki had control and time meant nothing where he was. She spent time with Kassandra/Alexios that they could have seen a route to stopping Loki. Alethia didn't like Juno and knew her plan. She must have gotten a message to William after Desmond's death to tell him about Layla and probably told him a way to bring back Desmond. One of the other temples probably has the solution and Alethia outsmarted Juno and Aita.
2:56 the answer to why there haven't been any assassins in the last few titles
ahhhh
I hope Basim doesn´t turn out to be just a villain. He succeded in coming back and i do hope he actually turns out to be an ally to the assassins albeit one not entirely selfless but not another generic evil badman.
Maybe this will be the present day plotline of Mirage
I don't think he is. He was just angry at Odin/Eivor
@@RainSennin_ismyAlt Yup, and he has plenty of reason to dislike the Isu and anyone who tries to emulate them (cough cough, Templars, cough), so he will probably stay allied with the Assassins.
I feel like Basim is the new antagonist of the franchise being immortal with the staff and pretending to be a protagonist. We don’t know his endgame yet but I’m sure we will in future games
Atleast modern day story will be interesting
Not sure what evil thing he has on his mind seeing that he only wants to find his children (who I’m not sure are alive) and maybe (and this is a theory) give his wife a physical body like how the instruments of the first will gave Juno a body.
@@manuliza6420 Right, If people actually care to look at Basim's POV. he might be actually the assassin here, because in england crusaders form which is related to the templars (1110+) and Basim Ibn Ishaq is from middle east like Altaïr Ibn La'had and Al-Mu'alim
However Basim isn't Basim here, he's Loki and is an ISU. Would've been nice if he could have been the assassin but he's not evil nonetheless
I think that Basim isn't really an antagonist
Yo that’s crazy he want his skills 💀
By this point I have concluded that the Isu Are just evil
Nah Loki’s an alright guy. Just trying to reunite his family after Odin tore it apart. True he did use Layla and ‘killed’ nice guy Assassin Basim by taking over his consciousness. He’s a grey character.
@@pastlife960 when did he “kill” basim? Was it before valhalla story or sometime during?
Was the whole "we used all humans as slaves" story from the early games not a hint?
I mean how they can lose to caveman
If he is the protagonist it would be funny
Good. He’s much more interesting than Layla.
Yeah...
Man do I have news for you
I'm having severe mixed feelings about this and I've actively avoided most footage. I stopped after completing Revelations because I knew, somehow, something like this would happen. I get that all videogames are mostly fantasy, but for me it wasn't just the graphics or the mechanics or even the fighting skills employed. Assassin's Creed 2 through Revelations had me hooked because of how historically accurate the content was.
So, William Miles would relive Basim/Loki's memory in Mirage.
Theory: I think if they make another gamer we will follow Basim either in the present day or he will be in the animus and will follow alethia or fight and possibly defeat her or will do what Basim said he would do which is find his children and reunite his family. Idk I like these games
Alethia is basim/Loki's wife. Why would he need to defeat her ? They are clearly on the same side.
I hope that the future dlcs were conected with Basim goals.
@@sebastianalexanderfloresor2894 they must be a reason for basim to further explore eivors memories from the dlc and it's still unknown why and where eivor was buried in America for
@@anotherhappylanding4746 I think maybe she knew that her body will be defilled or worshiped by the order of the ancients members who where tracking her. So she decided to live in exile after unknown events after the story. Who knows maybe the members of the First Will will be searching for her until now.
@@sebastianalexanderfloresor2894 good theory tbh i really like that this game has so much cool lore and none of it is exposition it requires exploration and is very cool subtle and lots of great foreshadowing
At long last Loki got the last laugh.
Something that immediately jumped out at me is Alethia's moniker: Goddes of Truth, I find it so important due
to the fact that Loki is the God of Lies, and together they become the embodiment of “truth manipulation": using lies to manipulate the truth.
What's more, Loki/Basim seems to have taken a move from the Reverse Flash's old play book, he is the only character that's managed to see the future, and actually manipulates it
so that he gets what he wants, no one has ever managed to pull this off this well, to my knowledge.
Yes, but unlike Reverse Flash, his desires are honestly pretty benign.

About thatttt
I hope the humans become reduced and become slaves like they always meant to be
The ending made me uncomfortable
Unfortunately (Desmond) is still around, so I expect him to influence time with Layla in the grey. Either way Basem will lose massively in future or something will happen it will make Loki think differently on how to deal with abstergo during modern times in the next AC game.
a new world awaits.
So I’m sure this can possibly be seen as a dumb question, but I’m really not clear on this:
Do they know that he is Loki? Like the mythical man known for chaos, mischief, trickery etc? He clearly says/implies that his people created inventions like the Animus, so I’d like to think it’s obvious they know he’s one of the resurrected Isu, even though technically it’s not flat out said in the “footage” that they watch. And if they DO know his true identity, are they trusting him simply because he is on the side of the Assassins? I will say nothing really happens to imply he doesn’t believe in the Assassins cause, and whether he is a bad guy can be argued since he seemed to mainly hate Odin/Eivor for what they did to his son, and he doesn’t seem to hate all humanity or want to rule the world or whatever like Juno. And I have other questions but I’m rambling a lot. If anyone has thoughts or if there is something I missed please feel free to chime in 😁
Bad guys,the humans are the bad guys
Hmm can I say in the next game baism will betrayal the creed? Since he is the loki?

Bro with what’s happening right now GameStop just pulled a Basim talk about a fucking power play
I got away from AC after completing Unity (2014) +, I felt that the story had no direction and that essence that I felt by playing the first games was gone. A few weeks ago I had the curiosity to play Origins. I did and I was surprised by how fun it was so I moved on to play Odyssey and it was also very fun. My issue with them was that I felt the main story was telling me nothing. After playing that hell of a long game that Odyssey was I wanted to know what was next but since I knew that Valhalla was even longer than Odyssey I just watched a summary of the game, and to my surprise I liked the clever way the Nordic mythology was portrayed in this story involving the Isu and the main Story. If I played I would not get it the first time or seen magic being involved I feel that this story lost its path but so far is interesting.
So, seeing this and knowing that AC Mirage is close to being released is Basim the antagonist?
What are we going to find in his life? In what moment of his life his ancient life took his mind? I am curious.
0:13 This is just me in the morning these days.
Why tho
I'm interested to know the reason
This is the type ending that you write in a essay because you have to complete in one hour
Getting used by the ISU again and again Kassandra and Layla with the added benefit that the mad Loki u killed stayed alive to talk shit to Eivor and went into the animus as Eivor is so wrong.
No wonder 4 was one of the best. Succeeded against the isu, and at the stayed the same analyst to Kenway among the best story to boot.
Basim is giving off Daniel cross vibes
Welp... Now theres an experienced master assassin / reincarnated Isu running around in modern day.
At least he can train the modern assassins.
What I’m confused about is,
Are all the ISU from different mythologies in this universe the same group of ISU? Like only 8 survived from NORSE ISU and the Greek ISU died bruh weee different groups of ISU revered as gods around the planet or sumn bruh I’m lost now
The Isu are basically extinct. The Aletheia in the staff is not the real Aletheia, it's only her subconscious uploaded into the staff. Yeah, they're very advanced like that.
Aesir are the Norse Pantheon of the Isu. There is a Celtic Pantheon which houses Excalibur in the Isu barracks. The Greco-Roman pantheon is the main ones we have been dealing with throughout the series (Juno, Jupiter, Minerva etc).
I think the best way to explain it as that the different mythologies are basicallt different tribes of isu
So the norse gods are one tribe while the greek/Romans are another
@@willbaker6532 Roman adopted major Greek deities as their own and renamed .The Roman gods are just Greek gods with their name changed. Jupiter is Zeus , Juno is Hera and Minerva is Athena .

@@taseensenpai5271 Well Altair is just translated in the animus but Ezio does kinda speak to Desmond so that question applies to him aswell I guess
@@bandit9667 that was animus developed by abstergo
layla worked at abstergo her animus by astergo as well and it is better than any they had back then
so why not
@@taseensenpai5271 Altair speaking is translated by animus, and ezio can understand altair speaking with the help of piece of eden. And Ezio is traveler in his old age so he can speak english with desmond.
Maybe
@@ezalfarizy7113 yes we know that I am saying layla s animus can translate what is heard and said in the memories for her as well.
Because her animus is also from abstergo
How did Basim get to North America.
Shaun took him back. Must have been a weird ride home from Norway.
@@unc54 oookkkh OK right. They. Did drive to the vault. Thank you!
@@unc54 Sean: Soooo, where’s Layla?
Basim: It’s complicated...
Sean: And who are you.
Basim *in his head*: I’m the reincarnation of an ancient Isu being who was the inspiration for the Norse god Loki who lived 75,000 years ago before implanting my consciousness into the body of an Arab Assassin in the 9th century who then spent the last 1000 years trapped in a Norwegian super computer before being rejuvenated by a magical staff which just so happens to contain the consciousness of my long-dead girlfriend
“It’s... complicated.”
so its fenrir right on basim shirt?😂
Interesting. The subtitle says Basim, but it's most definitely the Loki personality talking.
Makes you wonder how the dawn of ragnarock expansion will play out now
I hope that Desmond and Layle return somehow😢😢😢😢😢
His t-shirt looks so weird lmao
At this point, i'm not surprised if they create a Time Travel.
Anyone know what rock song is playing when Basim turns on the radio?
That word Shaun said: Hashishiyyin, it means people who smoke weed :D
I didn't know if it was supposed to be a joke or they messed up😂😂
They always butcher other languages
Aletheia did not betray Layla. She gave humanity a chance to survive future catastrophes and dystopias by having assassins (who love freedom) take control of the calculations tree in the Grey.
Me getting up on monday for work 😂
I'm not gonna lie I thought basim was odin because of the robes
Can’t work out if basim is truly an assassin or more evil. Here’s hoping AC 2022 will have answers
Honestly, I'd more say vengeful. Odin genuinely screwed him over repeatedly, and now that Loki has gotten the last laugh over Odin, he can devote himself to more important matters, such as resurrecting Alethia and spoking the wheels of the Templars.
@@thehighwayman3122what does spoking the wheels mean
Does anyone know what the theme is when Basim comes back to life?
can someone explain to me if Basim is really the Basim we play in mirage or is it that Loki took over his mind as odin was trying to do with eivor?
Basim is still basim he now has lokis memories.
Its the same basim from Mirage and the one that appeared alongside eivor and sigurd in valhalla. Its just he now has the ISU memories of his time before as loki. So basim IS loki reborn. The basim we see in AC Valhalla already has the knowledge of his past life as loki and goes with sigurd to England because he knows sigurd is also an ISU reincarnation of Tyr.
Doesn’t this cutscene showcases a collide of two power? Basim saying “bring William miles to me” instead of “can you take me to meet him” shows he’s looking to change the leadership and lead Assassin himself.
But would he do anything for it? We already know Basim in the past has not followed creed but did what pleases him. He still have contributed to the cause a lot.
Furthermore, I am excited to see if Basim secretly hates the current assassins considering he’s an Isu and they made humans to be slave. I am sure they wouldn’t be easily open enough to live and work alongside them.
Loki had no interest in enslaving humans. We know his wife, who he loved greatly, wanted humans to be liberated and treated as equals. So i’d doubt she’d fall in love with someone who’d want to take advantage of them like Juno did. So i see no reason why he’d wanna harm mankind as a whole like Aita’s sages. And i doubt he’d want to work with the templars because as we’ve seen with other sages, they’d just study him like a dissecting a frog for a science project.
I want Basim's wolf shirt.
Ugh. I cannot figure out what to do AFTER I’ve become Basim. I’m just running around aimlessly with no objective. Any ideas?
Get back in the Animus and finish the story ?
