Ubisoft:Your wish to see Basim's past granted.
Seriously what are the chances
I saw the trailer and i think the game is going to be really sick and I hope so too
I would have preferred a character we knew nothing about kinda want to play a character you already know backstop for
@@simongraves8339 Well, he is in the modern world now as well, so we were bound to see more of him anyway
@@karlolovrincevic8249me too! Definitely gonna buy the day it's released. Something I rarely do.
I’m glad someone explained it better because the story for Valhalla was so long that I lost track of what was happening
The Loki part of Basim is completely different almost like split personality which Is why they feel like 2 different characters in Mirage we’re hopefully gonna be seeing the real part of Basim and not Loki
It is not a split personality. Darby (lead writer) just clarified this the other day. Basim and Eivor are both still Loki and Odin, it is akin to having amnesia when they reincarnate, there's no ISU in their mind that takes over, they just get a clarity once their memories come back to them. They are not separate entities. Darby said the Odin-Eivor fight is just a dramatized internal fight Odin is having with his/herself on whether to move on or not. The Basim we see younger will still have many of Loki's personality traits even if he doesn't remember fully at that point in time.
@@jordanfitzgerald7886 But how come Basim knew he was a reincarnation of Loki, but Eivor never figured it out? I still don't understand that. Maybe Eivor is just really thickheaded, lol
@@HunterBidensHandgun eivor knows he is odin's reincarnation but he is a separate person instead of being odin himself thats the difference its kinda his whole character arc for the main story
I wanna see Basim slowly losing his mind and turning into Loki.
Soooo he’s Loki?
Assassins driven by revenge are always the best written characters just look at bayek in origins hands down still one of my top 3 favorite assassins in the series second only to Ezio and Edward Kenway.
What about Altier lol
Ezio is so overrated. Edward > Kassandra > Evie > Bayek
@@romeokilo4535 Nah it's just you don't like him as much as others.
@@mohdsalmand1385 there is a formula for how I grade. How he kills matters. Edward & Evie are viscous. It's not just about the story.
@@romeokilo4535 Ezio is known best for his story arc.
Honestly they did really good with explaining the backstory via the extra main mission and the animus anomalies
How I didn't notice Basim was actually Loki. Really excited for Mirage
It would be awesome if Basim turned out to be an ancestor of Altair and responsible for setting up the Masayaf hidden ones, who later become known as Assassins.
He's not the founder of the Levatine brotherhood and in his time they were still called the hidden ones. He was actually surprised that they called themselves Assassin's now, so that theory is out the window.
That'd be interesting, if he turned out to be the ancestor of Altair.
What is even more surprising is how Basim learnt to speak English so fast in 2020 😂
ROSHAN ANCESTOR
@@aks19880 he operate in britain with sigurd so ofc he can speak english
Honestly seems cool as hell. Just wish they wouldn't lock all this behind 20 of the most boring missions to be developed in gaming.
Basim should've been the protagonist of the story. He was well written. They slickly moved him from the viking era to modern day.
Facts
And he's much better than Layla
@@XDtko facts
Basim is the best character in the whole game. I'm saying this to everyone who's intrested in ac and they alwyas agree with me
@@plub7000 I agree with you 😂
It exactly turned out the way you wanted -AC Mirage
4:33 did blud just predict AC Mirage
What some people seem to get wrong is that the hallucinations/dreams Eivor have about Asgård is that it is depicted from her viking perspective. Minerva, Juno, Jupiter and more greco/roman Isu etc all are from Eivors perspective and doesnt even have their real names or looks. Minerva is Gunlodr, Jupiter is Suttungr etc.
Thanks, I've always struggled with the story.
I considered / interpreted the transfer of Isu data to be memory algorithms, set into selected genetic lines to be triggered when certain criteria is met, due to what is shown in Valhalla. The descendants of these genetic lines have their own personalities that would eventually be subsumed by the Isu memory algorithms if they allow it or fail to resist. In Valhalla, Eivor resisted and retained her personality along with some of Odin's / Havi's memories.
I’m pretty sure this is exactly what is stated in AC: IV Black Flag somewhere. Can’t remember where exactly but I read it in one of the many bits of information within the game. (It’s the one that I completed most recently.)
Or at least for sages this is the case. I imagine it would be the same for all of them.
@@aaronhooper5118 Oh. I skipped a couple of AC titles and Black Flag was one of them. Would play it some day since I bought it. Would be interesting to see the reference to sages / memory algorithms.
I'll be skipping the Basim installment too. I've little liking of this character. I didn't like Layla either but I'll take her over him. I'll save the $$ for the Red project. Japan!
I've little interest in Basim's background besides speculating that if his personality was akin to the Isu Loki, then he probably allowed the takeover (if he realised what's happening), thinking he would "survive" and be part of the new persona but I'm guessing not. Nothing of the original person remained.
The vid is a bit wrong in saying vengeance drove Isu Loki into attacking Eivor. He wanted to find out what happened to his son and Eivor, with Odin's memory algorithm, is the only person to know.
@@OG21020 Ahhh, fair enough. If I’m remembering correctly, it’s not out in the open for all to see, not directly at least.
I would highly recommend playing through them all again. That’s what I have been doing haha. I’m currently on freedom cry.
I must say, that is a very interesting take on that. I tell you what, if I remember next year, I’ll come back here and tell you what I know! Haha
Have a feeling Basim is gonna be the new desmond maybe or just revamp the story. They brought back the old parkour from ezio games to assassins creed mirage and maybe he will team up with rebecca and sean since he hasn't really attacked them. I just miss having a good protagonist outside the animus.
With the current tech I hope we will be able to find a way to see if DNA can really store genetic memories. And I really think we can do it, it's enough if we look at our own behaviours and just sit and think why we do what we do.
But this doesn't answer whether or not Basim is evil? He's antagonistic to Eivor/Odin but outside of that he might be perfectly friendly with other people. Rebecca and the gang don't trust him and he's playing off that but he hasn't attacked them or shown any genuine I'll will. Hell, he even congratulates Eivor on finding a nice place to be buried.
More or less given alot of the stories and books following Basim he's still an Assassin through and through but suffer from sage DNA kinda like a cross between Daniel Cross in AC3 and Unity
BRO YOU PREDICTED MIRAGE
Congratulations we are now getting a game on basim
This age well . . .
could not have been more spot on! :D:D
I’d rather play as Eivor
Basim is not same as Loki as the reincarnation works in many study. It's like implant that because some particular reason be 'active' like eivor in early who's had nightmare and seek the seer (while still in Norway) to get potion and know the mean of that nightmare and probably y'all notice Odin talk with eivor after this mission thus making the potion activate Odin planted memories inside eivor. It's same as Sigurd although Sigurd probably not seeing tyr as eivor seeing Odin (he said that he seen flashes of memories himself being 'god' and fulke make it more by torturing him cut his hand so the memories of Tyr is come more 'active'. It's like you overwrite your old file with new one so you lose the old. It's also what happen between eivor and Odin battle in the end of game inside eivor mind because if eivor didn't leave that place mean Odin mind will totally taking over eivor body imprisoned eivor mind inside. Thats why basim feel like different person in mirage trailer than he is in Valhalla. Glad we're gonna see what happen to him. So yeah it's not wrong if you saying basim is Loki since beginning but it's happen in Valhalla only yes since basim came he is already Loki, you can see that by him giving eivor hidden blade but agree not to turn him into hidden one although we knew even up until name changing to assassin's brotherhood 'secret' is their main code
Dam mind blown I didn't catch that. It all make sense now
Eivor probably is probably the most important person in the whole series , she literally created the Templares
Bayek
Even tho the male eivor is the Canon character but whatever
Female Eivor is canon mate
@@BPRGaming they're in denial XD
Hows that canon its your choice. If you wanna be a female cool but i doubt that matters
For those who complain about the Mythologies trilogy making the gods of different religions isus, it's confirm is actually caused by the memory of who is seeing the memory for example. "Loki" and "Odin" are just the names eivor visions took when he was watching her previous isu life memories adapted to her knowledge of norse mythology, so this also applies for Kassandra and why Basim will see Djinn instead of "Loki"
its also area/kingdom based. the isu were all over the world before the collapse after all, and towards the end truly started to shatter both in losing a majority of control over the humans do to adam. plus the internal infighting and outright wars started/ended because of a pursuit for immortality/reincarnation apsalutly wrecking the nobility.
then you have the rare few that were able to somehow hold onto power or pass on their will even after dying like the greek panthian who survived by simulating into Atlantis mainframe, juno and the other creators into the world seed. and then finaly the even rarer few who can just menifest into reality be it by the apples who can bring them back into the world like the apple of theibs (partial, looses their mind and only last for a bit), or athia with the staff of hermies (partial but keeps her mind and plain of existence intact)
the look is defintly of the persons imagination, but the event and surcomstance is of question, to the point that what is myth and what is legend can easily blurr. as the true winner of the isu war dos not write (the sun) so history is writen by the dead or asleep
Basil wasn’t a bad guy he just wanted to save his family
Basim*
Now I’m super excited for assassin creed Margie 😁😁
Well you got what you asked for basim is gonna be in the next assassins creed game
Right??? 🎉🎉🎉
it confused the hell out of me i wonder if the isu version odin had something to do with it. what if he took him from his timeline
I'm happy that this Loki identity will not be apart of Basim's story. We all want actual Assassin's Creed story of the creed. I can understand if he has alterior motives afterjoining the creed then that is fine, but it was already too much as Eivor nvr joined the Creed which to me (I don't consider this an AC story) as the creed is not involved. OH and they have already stated in a video that the djinn that he sees is not something of Loki but different as Basim already knew about the Creed Brotherhood. So it could be something within his mind as well that we will have to see from his backstory as Basim is a very odd character with is own motives.
Damn I really need to finish playing Valhalla before mirage comes out soon
Gotta love the algorithm cramming videos down your throat spoiling chunks of the game you just started playing
So does that mean the sages in the assassin's creed games are actually the Isu like that one protagonist in assassin's creed Black flag that is reincarnated and kinda seems to be loki. Can someone clarify for me please 🙏
There was supposed to be a culmination of sorts after Syndicate. In AC3, you have Juno tricking Desmond into touching the orb. Not only did it save Earth, but it also released Juno. She went into the ''Gray''. Her presence remained evident between Black Flag and Syndicate. After Syndicate, Ubisoft took a lengthy break. When the company continued the series, they decided to NOT continue with Juno as the lingering threat.
In AC: Valhalla, you have Aletheia and Basim (Loki reincarnated) taking up the mantle of ''lingering threat''. Aletheia is definitely not Juno, as the latter was trapped and released from different Isu temple. So, what of Juno? She can't be Aletheia! As I've said, Juno was already released by Desmond in AC3.
If you ask me, the series died after Syndicate! Requiescat In Pace, Assassin's Creed!
@@stevenyarnell8422 wrong Juno is still the Main bad guy the specifically talk about it in origins Odyssey and Valhalla still they just introduced Alethea character which is still undetermined whether she is bad or good. Basim and all sages are half ISU half human hybrids who the ISU put their DNA memories into and the awakening would happen when Identical genetic DNA from the hybrid hosts descendants match the ISU then the ISU memories awaken, but most go insane.
@@anthonygiangreco3621 I don't know about Origins and Valhalla. Juno IS in Odyssey, though. Only in the Atlantis part. As for Aletheia, she is in Odyssey ''helping'' Kassandra/Alexios as well as Layna Hassan. I'd say that she is a mix between Minerva and Juno. She is mostly good, and a little bit like Loki, ie a trickster.
Love Basim, love the norse odin stuff, love the viking stuff....BUT I do not like how it all is mixed. For me I wanted to play as a viking assassin. Not as a reincarnated god that is an Isu AND basim being loki.
They should return to the assassin vs templar story
maybe thats why they brang basim
Basim wants to meet Desmond Father so i dont know what will happen
@@zerom.7642 , Soooo, when Kassandra gave away the staff and passed on, she was wearing a suit. Had she met with the leader in modern times, before moving forward with leaving? I hope a 2400 year old sees the bigger picture by the end.
When AC gets too confusing for the OG fan base and we’re left reminiscing on Ac-Ac Revalations as golden hears
As i brush up on this ending before Mirage… I’m disappointed Shawn or Rebecca whoever/whatever couldn’t get the staff in Eivor’s grave to also resurrect them…
Basim is hands down my favorite AC character EVER! Expertly written, imho! I hope we see more of him in Shadows! We better!!!
Thanks!
Well we getting a basim game now lol nice call
My theory is that the whole Valhalla storyline is not with Basim but Loki, Odin was trying to take control of Eivor and in Basim's case Loki took control of Basim and in Mirage we will see how this happens, in fact i think the Djiin mission teased on Mirage's trailer is a callback to Loki's personality hidden inside Basim since we see the same kind of misty dark matter being poured inside the Ygdrassil fetus meant for the Isu Loki Killed
i thought abstergo made basim so they could kill leyla to get the animus back
Wow he predicted the new AC game
That’s a good question
How did Basim discover the truth about eivor?
thankf for spiler in title
Is funny how there making his back story for the new game did this guy had four sightings
Wow your wishes of having a game of basim become real
I believe the reason Basim attacked Eivor in my POV was because of the fact that it brings back some nostalgia from the first AC Game 2007, with Al Mualim, the mentor to Altair, being the main antagonist. Therefore, as a way to make AC Valhalla more interesting, the exact same formula of the Mentor being the Main Villain was reused. Valhalla was, is, and always will be, mi 1st AC Game. Please do not judge me
L + ratio
What do you mean?@@expo6877
I never knew until now, basim is my favorite character in ac Valhalla and I feel bad that he’s the boss of the game.
but it makes no sense Basim and Eivor both are in Brotherhood they should be working together
I guess will see his story in mirage
This aged well
It’s a dope ass Viking simulator. Cool with me lol.
Evior is the reincarnation of odin and basim is the reincarnation of Loki
Here's what i think.
Desmond Altair Ezio = loki descendant
@@AMaidenlessRunt except Altair and Ezio aren't related at all, they're two separate bloodlines, maybe Altair though, but definitely not Ezio
im confused is it the fact that as odin jailed fenrir in the game or the wolf that eivor killed as a child a reincarnation of fenrir
So did Odin came before the Isu
So we are going to see Loki in Baghdad in Mirage then, that's a bit crap
Well that's what mirage is
Me from the future:
We find out Loki was tortured and imprisoned, but that’s about it.
I will add that they hinted at Basim, and possibly Loki as well, suffering from some sort of mental illness.
ubisoft watching the video be like:
bassim has a bad vibe about him sometimes so i didn't trust him. but it was still a big surprise that he was kind of the main villain. from the look of his face i made the connection to loki but didn't realise they were reincarnated. so a little more clues would have been nice. but then again i skipped all dialogue for the last 30 hours because the game is just far too long and i just wanted it to be done and see the ending 🙂
I knew he was Loki before watching this video, and he attacked obviously because Eivor aka Odin kills Loki's wolf son.
Which movie is this from
Basim's ending was stupid
He literally explained it she has Odin's bloodline
What? It doesnt give it away just from the fact that loki is a spitting image of basim 🤣
this aged well
ok 2 years passed - we have now Assassin Mirage just released - so in Mirage we will see how Basin become bad guy ?
Who says he's a bad guy?
⚠️Spoilers⚠️
Loki (the Isu) had an illegitimate son with his mistress and Odin (another Isu) was just full of hatred for that child, for some reason. Odin imprisoned the child (Fenrir) and it's heavily implied that he starved to death. Loki was pissed, so he took revenge by poisoning Odin's son Baldr. Odin then imprisoned and tortured Loki for thousands of years. That's where all this began.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 so who is Bassim? he is Loki? Mirage is before Valhalla?
@@DonDomel yes, Mirage is set like 12 years before Valhalla. Loki reincarnates into Basim, but does not merge with him 100% until a pivotal moment in his life.
Would be awesome since kassandra lives threw odyssey and valhalla apparently she kills basim in a future game..also atleast a mention of Eivor..sucks so bad that basim is the End Game character I didn't like him at all I knew from the jump he was up to something I could just tell...
She never killed Basim she died literally prior
Why would one want to play a loke game when all his life and meaning is to find and kill and/or destroy Odins legacy? Tho wasnt it obvious in Basims fight all hints he yells out about his child dying and wife because of you.
Mirage so your dream will become reality
Play assassins creed mirage basim story is in it
Sigurd is tyr
Eivor is odin
Randvi is Freya
Basim is loki
Sooo who is thor?
Halfdan
The blacksmit in eivors settlement gunner is hes name i think
No. Svala is Freya, Randvi is not.
Shouldn’t ther be eight identities? Who was the keeper of memories supposed to be, the victim of loki at that table?
@@norag8265 well he was not mentioned in the game
So does that mean that basim kept his memories but the other gods didn’t
Most speculate that Basim was tricked by his former memories of Loki, and therefore became Loki in mind and in body.
Some of the other Norse Sages didn't particularly have their memories entirely until later on. Heimdall was born before most of the Sages of AC: Valhalla, having been a warrior in his human life. Halfdan(son of Ragnar Lothbrok)is Thor's human counterpart who has a paranoid fear of poison much like the Thor of mythology who'd dies by poison by the world serpent Jormungandr; one of Loki's children whom he rights in Ragnarok. Sigurd of course triggered his Isu memories when he was spending time with Basim and even more so when that woman Fulke captured and experimented on him, cutting his arm off which ultimately unlocked his memories.(but of course, unlike Basim, he wasn't completely gone and succumbed to his Isu who was named Tyr.) Then of course Eivor Varinsdottir, her Isu being Odin formerly is hard to pinpoint per say. In her case, I'd say that when she was bitten by the wolf as a child, it triggered her memories faintly as it is told that Odin would be consumed and killed by the wolf Fenrir, Loki's child during the final battle. And as she grew older, the visions of Odin and memories grew stronger, bit of course, much like Odin who was mostly in denial of his fate, Eivor as well defied her former self; hence the whole scene when you(the player)fight Odin in the mind, a denied becoming him in both mind and body as well.
I could go on about Freya's human counterpart (whom you meet indirectly in the beginning and later within the ISU machine before Basim's boss fight), and idunn's human counterpart (which is in the prequel comic before AC: Valhalla events.) But I think I explained, or hoped I did.
Hope you understand a bit, because it can be a real cluster-f***.
svalka i think had her memories
@@gaunterodimmmastermirrors72 that was good. Thank you for that explanation
@@gaunterodimmmastermirrors72 It may depend on each individual. Based on what we know, these sages will start having past memories reemerge. So I guess it depends on whether the sage interprets those memories as from a separate identity, or if they perceive both past and current experiences as a single continuous line of memories i.e. I am a reincarnation of Loki or I am Loki.
If it's the former, you might get a case of Eivor who doesn't think she's necessarily Odin but interprets it as being connected to Odin. Being a girl and having the OG Odin try to kill her helps with that separation.
If its the latter, you might get Basim who accepts Loki's memories as his. So he does believe he is loki and his family was ruined by Odin
@@gaunterodimmmastermirrors72
You made so many things clearer now. Absolutely makes sense.
Thank you Master Mirror. -"all who have learned my true name are now either dead or have met an even worse fate"-
That's a pretty sweet spoiler right in the title of the video.
basim is literally loki? holy fuck
You can recognizw the voice. Also, Halfdan is Thor, Sigurd for Tyr, Svala is Freyja.
I'm watching this now, 2 years later, while playing AC: Mirage with Basim as the main character. Interesting... AC: Valhalla had too much going on in it for me and I lost interest after a while. I am glad the game is returning back to its roots.
I'm not sure how much sense it's going to make in Mirage to play as an Isu Reincarnate occupying his own genetic memory in ancient Afghanistan. And for what? The Earth is safe for now, there's no impending doom.
Actually you're playing as an Assassin first foremost which is what the series forgot about for 2 games plus a upcoming mobile game. That being said William Miles is sifting through Basim's memories to see if he is trust worthy to join the Assassins
I don't see basim r Loki as a bad person tbh but that's just my opinion
exactly when Odin seemed like a egoistic prick when he fought Eivor
It wasn’t basim it was Loki seeing it as Odin
Is it just me or does basim look like ezio?
So he's a sage ..
No wouldn't like to play as Basim! But would like to carry on playing Eivor on his journeys (DLC'S) because to Viking storys
These new AC games sure are confusing
And also I think your confused about the lore of Assassins creed Valhalla.
Why is Basims Wife Atleah ? Or what she is called
She is the Isu women character or not ??? And how can she be her and Loki or Basim habe a kid as a wolf ? Makes no sence for me so, who is his kid ? And if he came from the isu world so he knows adam and eva ?
Aletheia, who is Loki's mistress and mother of his children Fenrir, Hel and Jormungandr. And no, their kids weren't literal monsters, that's just the mythological filter put there so Eivor can comprehend it.
you havent played the game and asking questions they are already answered. The visioms you see as eivor through odin is just a dream and simulation type memory of odin. Odin modified it that you as eivor see that as how godlike everything was. The true is shown in the anomaly. Odin and the rest where isus who tried to survive or transfer their mind into that machine and to the human fetuses. Lokis Child maybe was like eivor not a wolf but associated with a wolf so, like the vision of the king and ivar who kilss him with a dragon knife instead of an actual dragon...
Yeah and another thing that the game doesn't tell you is that the only reason why he didn't figure out you were old and sooner was because the protagonist is canonically female and only appears male in the olden visions so no many of the in-game characters are not gay they just see you as a woman
I was wondering why so much gay shit was happening 😂😂💀💀
hello forshadowing
Basm is petty af
These AC story's are ridiculous.
Wait who is Thor ?
Halfdan Ragnarson, you meet him in Eurvicscire
New games plot is already gonna suck with him being a recantation of loki freaking dumb
Why does that suck? The Sages were all reincarnations of Aita. Did you have a problem with that as well? The Norse “Isu” found a way to be reborn by creating the world tree machine. Loki is simply looking to restore his family. Not crush and control Humanity like Juno wanted
Your got your wish go play mirage
Hahaha. Your wish has come true. 😁
I'll be honest: knowing this about Basim has made me LESS excited for the his game. Considering that his lineage just... doesn't add up to him being the reincarnation of a Norse God
True bro its too complicated story wise as well
You got your wish
Lets be real, I love assassin's Creed! Black Flag , origins and oddyssey where good for me. But this fantasy game lost its logics with valhallah. And if u manage to do that. its very very bad
.... I strangely think that this set of sci-fi rules is still pretty good. This Yggdrasil tech draws from 3 preestablished Isu tech.
1) Isu have the tech and abilities to see possible future events
2) AC3 discusses Isu tech that allows Isu to transfer consciousness to a virtual space.
3) AC3 and AC4 discusses Isu tech that encodes memories into the human genepool thus allowing the occasional humans to receive memories of past Isu.
It's really just about rushed last minute exposition and poor execution. The internal logic behind Yggdrasil is actually fairly consistent and not lore breaking.
I wouldn’t want to play or know that traitorous bastard. I actually couldn’t stand the ending
we still dont know the backstory on Loki vs odin though. Odin seemed like an egoistical powerhungry prick, Loki was just having his revenge.
Why do you keep refer Evior as she?
Because female Eivor is the canon - her full name is Eivor Varinsdottir (Varin's daughter)
Eivor is female Havi is male
That’s stupid male evior is ten times better
Eivor is a female name
Why would Odin be in a female body, and why does Basim look the same as Loki after stealing someone else's place. Wait, maybe Frigg was dead, and Odin took her body, since he didn't have one for himself.
