Seeing William was a nice way to conclude this part of the franchise. The bit with Eivor and Odin did make me tear up a little as the theme played cause she really was a great character.
Was probably painful to realise that the Gods she was worshipping were not really... Gods
@@alekizzu4705 having to throw out the entire culture you were raised on and used to lead your life would be hard
@@craftingranger7552 oh, that's about to happen in real life, real time 💯
Oh my god.... eivor without odin is just a rude and selfish lady who can't talk properly.
She says if the London reevs don't help then she'll gut them and put a puppet in charge.
You also yet again ignore that eivor is odin... so what you like eivor but not odin? Oh right, odin is a boy.
It's good to see you again craftingranger.
I know you'll feel the same 😘
@@alekizzu4705 it's painful to see you guys thinking access the animus is accurate in his lore.
The lead writer disagreed with him and he just skipped over it and said he disagrees with the disagreement 😂
It's some pathetic stuff.
The last question made by Odin is the closest we got that ties back the more "grounded" reality that of Assassin's Creed. I know people have been complaining how the last few entries were leaning too much into fantasy element.
Eivor and her people know only Ragnarok as the term for the end of the world. While their beliefs is not entirely incorrect, what actually happened is more complicated. It was interesting how the "real" Odin ties the term back to the Toba Catastrophe and the solar flare.
The last question is Basim/Loki. He made it his goal to reunite with his children once he got out. Once he does, what happens next for him? Does he have another grand scheme planned? How many people is he going to trick along the way?
The goel was fun videogames.the more grounded ones wherent as fiun to me. Ther locked bori g in parts with interesting parts that keept you playing.
And lets be Real the longer the series goes on the wearder the isu have to become..ther cant keep then mysteriös forever
My Theories:
I think Basim genuinely wants to help the Modern Assassins reform and return back to its roots, back to the Creed. He even allowed William Miles to look into his memories by giving him a genetic sample of his blood. The Assassins will look through Basim's memories (AC Mirage) to learn about Basim, his past, and his Isu past (a weird job interview for Basim). Basim will help the Modern Assassins while William Miles will help him find his children in the various Isu simulations and programs in later to be shown Isu Temples and computer systems.
What most interested me is how King Alfred tried to recruit Eivor to the Templar Order. He somewhat wishes Eivor to be a Master Templar of the British Rite but accepts Eivor's decision to leave England and go through a self-understanding journey. It is likely Guthrum (Aethelstan) joined the Templar Order as his Christian cross was red with gold linings.
I think Eivor actually managed to unite all the surviving Isu Norse Sages: Eivor (Odin), Sigurd (Tyr), Harald Finhair (Freyr), Halfdan Ragnarsson (Thor), Faravid (Sif), and Gull (Idun). This can be noticed when Eivor, Tyr, and Harald touched their Isu neck scars to acknowledge their Reborn Isu status and an understanding of why Eivor leaves for Vinland.
I think Roshan is trying to meet up with Hytham to talk about the Hidden Ones' plans for Jerusalem and the Holy Land. She thought helping the Raven Clan is a good way to earn the clan's trust. Honestly, the mission should've started at the Hidden One base in Ravensthorpe where Roshan meets Hytham who introduces her to Eivor. Roshan talks about Basim to Eivor and so on without giving too much away for the events of AC Mirage.
Also, I believe Juno is alive and she just copied her consciousness to the Juno body that was killed by Charlotte De La Cruz during the AC Uprising event.
I think the Hidden Ones and Templars were actually close allies. The Hidden Ones were later involved in defeating the Order of the Ancients who were affiliated with King Harald Bluetooth and Styrbjörn the Strong during the Late Viking Age in the 10th century. However, times of disagreements, corruption, and problems caused the Hidden Ones and Templars to fight each other some years before the start of the First Crusade.
What should be understood is that the Assassins and Templars didn't know about the Isu until the Renaissance Age. However, we learn more about the Isu through non-Assassins (Kassandra and Eivor) who learn about the Isu in more detail since Ancient History and the Early Medieval Ages are when the Isu still had a strong presence in the world until it diminished as time goes on.
The Isu was practically an advanced race so the real version is that the Isu is technically a utopian/dystopian futuristic society.
What is interesting is that the Hidden Ones never cared about Freedom or the Isu. They cared about peace. That's all. The Assassins became dogmatic in their goals and it got worse in the 20th Century when the Assassins tolerated the indirect killing of innocents. It was safe for Kassandra and Eivor not to tell the Hidden Ones about the Isu to prevent them from being obsessed as they were.
The Hidden Ones definitely cared about freedom and weren't particularly interested in peace. It's a little counter-intuitive to train to be assassins if your ultimate goal is peace.
Bayek and Aya specifically form the Hidden Ones to protect innocents from tyranny and corruption. Their mission was to uphold free will and freedom from oppression, acting as hidden protectors of the people.
I honestly believe Juno is alive as well.
It made no sense for her to die so easily.
It's either that Or Loki and Athena are the main antagonists.
Which is logical.
But we both know baism is not in full control of his body. I hope Mirage shows that a little bit better.
He's kinda like the Anakin Skywalker Vader mix.
His dominant side would be Loki right now bazim is locked away.
The hiden ones cared about freedome and peace
This was such as good ending, made me wonder what Darby could have done if he had been the writer of all the other free updates
So Eivor spend rest of hers life in America and probably settled down with natives so what if just what if Eivor could be Connors ancestor from his mother side. It is probably not the case but it would be cool.
I’m so happy I wasn’t the only person who thought that would be a cool possibility 😂
I think Eivor didn't tell anyone at Ravensthorpe because they would probably try to stop her from leaving or atleast ask her why she's leaving. Eivor probably doesn't want to reveal her 'Odin' secret to them and decided to leave. Her main relationships have said their goodbyes so she's content with that. I personally think she's a great character. Darby McDevitt is awesome.
Even though eivor female is Canon I always will consider male eivor as the real one and as a real sage to Odin he looks and feels better
stop him*
I feel like if Eivor left The Raven Clan and said a goodbye to them she would see how much she cared for them. This might make her question her decision to leave which is something she feels she must do.
Her leaving without saying goodbye eliminates that possibility, making her decision a final one.
I really enjoyed this ending. I know some expected something more bombastic and more dramatic, but eivor leaving her life in england, for a quest of self realisation and self knowledge was really satisfying for me. It is not a plotpoint we usually see in these games
I agree, but I think she should have lived her life with the people she loved for WAYYYY longer. What was the point of her choosing “Everything Else” meaning that she was going to focus on loving and protecting them, if she was just going to give up to focus on herself?
There are ways I suppose I could see it, but I feel like it is a complete 180 of her character to leave her people at the mercy of the world while she can still physically protect them.
Maybe when she’s like 80 she would go on her journey of self discovery because there is ACTUALLY nothing else she can do for her people.
This dlc just feels super rushed and lazy. Basim is fast forwarding through Eivor’s memories to see how she dies, but if you look at the dates, she’s giving up on her life and her people RIGHT NOW. It makes it seem like it’s WAY in the future but really it’s ONE year after Siege of Paris.
Like I said. Rushed, lazy, and contradictory to her core values.
Great stuff. Thanks I just finished last night. Explanation was great.
And another analysis, let's go!
I absolutely loved the final chapter. I hate to say it, but it was probably the best post-launch content released for Valhalla. I'm excited to see where Mirage takes the story from here.
I couldn’t disagree more. TLC was a complete 180 for Eivor’s character and the whole thing was just rushed, lazy, and trying to hype up Basim as much as possible without actually giving the brilliant main character the proper ending she deserves. I’ve NEVER been disappointed with ANYTHING that Darby McDevitt has written, but he dropped the ball HARD on this one. No two ways about it. I hate it
What bothers me a little (and a friend of mine reminded me) is how much the Animus and the functioning of genetic memories adapts when it suits the script.
I mean, genetic memory simulation has always been a first-person experience, precisely described in books like "AC Heresy" & "Last Descendants", but suddenly we see Basim and William Miles in third person, as if Eivor and Basim's avatar were separate entities inside the Animus, which doesn't make sense at all.
And as for the fate of Basim's DNA, it's very likely that Abstergo stole it from William Miles at some point, given the content of that video dossier from this year's Paris Games Week.
Woo part 2 let’s go I can watch both
I had the same idea about the date ! So proud...
was there any analysis video of the carvings on stone in the modern day setting, (not too far from eivors burial place)?
That ending.... It really great story...
What was Fenrir supposed to be in the ancient Isu times? Literally a huge massive wolf or an Isu man/woman but just depicted in memories as an animal?? 🤔🤔
I think it's undoubtedly the latter. Actual Wolfs cannot speak like Isu or humans in the AC world.
Fenrir was what we know as Adam, Eve being Hel, that was fated to “break free from the ISU” to kill Odin and bring about their demise so that humans would prevail. ISU might have slower development cycles, so over the years seeing Fenrir/Adam grow so fast and become bigger (as depicted each time we see him) would cause concern and seem like a *over-sized wolf* that initially was no sort of threat…until Odin made him into one and caused his own demise!
That is the only way they could link all the games together…
It very likely that Fenrir was very hairy and feral looking by the time of the toba event. So people confused him to be a wolf.
It been confirmed he was a Isu, just that we don’t have a offical design yet. Thought I suspect Hytham remind Basim of Fenrir
Basims true intentions wasn't eivors secrets but rather odins. Loki wanted to know where his son was. However this makes me wonder if in fact when loki in the isu was actually uploaded. Loki freed his children when ragnorak started in the memory so is it possible the memories of loki basim got were only partial ones because he is still looking for his son? ( fenrir)
Wouldn't Fenrir be long dead by 2018?
William going into the animus experiencing basim's memory's would be amazing.
so she left to Vinland, where she is buried, probably never seeing Randvi again... such a sad ending
I find that really unlike Eivor. He loves his family and clan to the point of sacrificing himself for them with Odin.
What a beautiful conclusion to this very long saga.
I think april is a good guess cuz that’s when the new ac golden city book comes out
After this last chapter can i still play the game and find the rest of the stuff or does it end and have to start anew
I think it makes sense if you look at what happened to Sigurd and Basim when their Isu’s woke up
Strange the blood sample or really anyone reliving memories wasn't brought up in Mirage.
UNLESS we count the cut post credits scene in which case that would be how the rando animus operators got access to Basim's memories. Who started off talking about William in said very subject.
So what was Basim putting his blood in the animus machine and the whole 29 day sequencing time thingy all about
Very late but it's so they can use his genetic material in the animus, hinting at AC Mirage
So basically Eivor went to Vinland to talk to herself until she died.....
THANK YOU!!! This ending was shit!
I know!!! Ridiculous!
This whole thing was rushed, lazy, and completely contradictory to her core values! SOOOOO disappointed with this. This was NOT the ending I envisioned after seeing the main ending.
What was the point of her epic “everything else” line if she was supposed to do a complete 180 on that 12 years later? And her speech at the end of Dawn of Ragnarök was just reinforcing her will to stay at protect her people and fight for a peaceful England until she died.
This dlc undoes her entire character in 20 freaking minutes. I could see if she was like 80 years old and dying she would do something like this, but the way it was handled here was just disrespectful.
@@assassinscreedislife7636 exactly.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates it. I just wish they would’ve done her justice. Or just not ever released this instead.
There are plenty of other AC characters that don’t have any conclusion to them whatsoever.
Ubi promised to deliver an ending to Eivor, but I never thought for one second that they would mess it all up just so that they could move onto Basim’s game. So disappointed 🤬
@@assassinscreedislife7636 I think AC fans are one of the more faithful and always look forward to the next game. There was a lot in Valhalla that called back to the lore but there is is the fulfilled camp who are looking forward to mirage, and then there is us.
5:23 I think miles meant lokis resurrection
The ending was kind of weird for me. Since Leif Eriksson, the one that discovered Vinland in approximately 1000 ad was born in approximately 970 why would they make her go there? Also, she never had descendents. Did I get that wrong?
I wish she would've been older when she left her clan. 😕
The ending was fine, Eivor finally accepting when she was dumb to it throughout the post content.
Another question, who buried Eivor?
I'm sure she developed some kind of relationship with the local natives. They parted on good terms in the Vinland arc after all.
@@indiana_holmes probably related to the main character of AC3 too.
it's only me think William have lost a lot of charisma?
Yeah, ever since they changed the original voice actor out for a new one.
12:15 since Havi drank the Mead BEFORE Ragnarok, Sage Havi should not know how Ragnarok went down.
3:34 tf is that face?
the reason why you think the main story ending and this ending doesn't make sense and what not is because its years into the future lets say 1 year into the future or months later when eivor decides to leave ravensthorpe
This dlc looks like it completely ruins the main story and everything built up in the dlcs. Haven’t played it yet, but I just know I’m going to hate it. Why have Eivor deliver that epic “Everything Else” line and her whole speech at the end of Dawn of Ragnarök about “fighting the wolf till she dies” if they were just planning on having her change her mind essentially the next day.
Idk. I could see her going on this whole journey when she’s an old woman, but having her do it NOW just feels so rushed, lazy, and contradictory to her core values.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this dlc was badly written and needed way more care to pull it off well
Yup too short and rushed. They should have added more detail to it. Like maybe expanding the clan to Vinland and starting another settlement.
So, for Basim/loki and the elusion to the Mirage game, Eivor's Last Chapter content that most player's wanted to see was ignored...apparently.
Basim/Loki was a self centered, selfish character that sought his own personal goals at the expense of many.
I do expect Mirage will paint Basim/loki in a much better light. It matters not to me.
I, for one, will not be buying or playing Mirage.
Que se llegue al nivel de querer explicar este final de marketing ya dice mucho de lo pésimo que es por saltarse la evolución de Eivor
Too bad we did not get Odin's robe.
Ehh the ending had more questions also Ubisoft posted a new book
When and how did Eivor the the truth about her memories of Odin?
Eivor calling Odin the All-father makes me think Odin is a templar
Odin is called the All-Father in Norse Mythology. Also, he was an Isu who lived WAAAYY before the Templars. Until he was reincarnated as Eivor, in which case Odin is kinda Eivor’s darker side that she tries to ignore.
If she embraced her older self, she might sympathize more with the Templars, but as it is, she deeply sympathizes with the Assassins instead.
Its hard to see eivor as a female
The final chapter literally saved the game if we're being honest...
Personally qnd I still beleave it that the last chapter was just a under budget and was just a commercial to a story that at this point dosent matter anymore. Hopefully in this basim game they push the modern story along at this point they half to couse valhalla litterly just dropped us in a hole and as a story has literly said to our faces from the devs figure out how to get out of a 1200 foot hole with no rope or any ledges to help get us out I feel like bane as a consumer of this product. The corporate monkeys up in ubi have lost focus in both ghost recon qnd in assassins creed. There going to really need to shake the tree and hope the next drop is the golden apple couse at this point im not buying the basim game there needs to be more of a reason to buy it besides I get to explore a more boring character. Regardless of new game + I did t find him interesting at all. Hythem was way more interesting thin he was now u gave me a game or dlc with him in it ok cool. But were getting basim as a stand alone. Nothing qbout him was interesting he was a snake who betrayed his people loki angle aside still didn't make him more interesting becouse there was 0 connectin beside he looks like him just 500+ hours to waste my time and play with my emotions
wait her? Eivor is a man this is just wrong lol
It's the same deal as Odyssey and Kassandra, we have the option but girl Eivor is the canon one. Which works much better honestly lol.
Female eivor worst character in assassin creed the last goodbye quest force the player's who chose male eivor The entire game she's not in Kassandra level
I played as a female Eivor ,female viking story was very intriguing and really enjoyed the mythology too
Eivor was the most confusing character in the franchise, they contradicted her throughout the entire game and in the end it didn't change at all.
much was left open, poorly explained and wasted
I’m many ways I agree. I think she’s absolutely brilliant and compelling, but the dlcs mess her up a little. I love them all, but the “play it whenever attitude” made it easier to contradict the character. However, I feel like they all still did a fairly good job of it. Especially Siege of Paris and Dawn of Ragnarök.
This dlc though does a complete 180 which everything established and reinforced throughout the dlcs. What a waste. Last chapter was just rushed, Lazy, and contradictory to Eivor’s core values. It was completely disrespectful to everything her character still was and could’ve been.
She’s one of my favorite AC characters, and it’s safe to say that she deserved a lot more in the end than what she got. Not happy about it 🤬
This ending was trash💯🗑️🗑️🗑️
I 10000000% agree. It was rushed, lazy, and disrespectful to Eivor’s core values as a character.
Access this dislike
Over hyped and underwhelming ending. If they really wanted closure they would have included an actual Ragnarok dlc to finish up Odin's story.
Let’s just hope they finish it in the new game since it was originally suppose to be a dlc for this game after all!
The last chapter analysis... bro you couldn't figure an apple out.
Darby says eivor is odin and you just disagree... like he's the writer but you think you know better. This dumb channel of fan fiction is 50% of what's wrong with assassin's creed.
What the hell are you even talking about? Your comment makes no sense in relation to this video. No one said Eivor wasn't Odin... It seems more likely that you don't understand how memory and identity work.
Eivor is Odin, but they're clearly not the same physical person. She is a reincarnation with her own life and experiences who eventually realizes that she's lived another life as Odin. This is exactly what every other sage has experienced and is exactly what Darby said.
@@indiana_holmes dude there is no reason for odin to get gender swapped.
This channel said thay were different pepole when the game released because pepole were ripping into it for how dumb it was.
You're comment is just oh well odin is eivor but if we get meter then he's not at the same time.
Bro really?
Basim is identical in every way to loki.
Halfdan to thor
Sigurd to tyr
Roberts to John from IT
And so on.
But eivor to odin, odin who created the sage formula thay used, to save himself.... he gets a gender swap and a different voice.....
Nice cannon 👏 really high brow stuff.
Don't play the you don't understand card. It makes no sense and a lore channel that should have called this out, is chatting nonsense about it to farm gullible views.
He figured the isu message in Paris dlc was about basim..... anyone with a brain knows it's just a hint that king Charles might be a sage, thus his madness.
But this channel wanted a 10 minute video, so he makes a bunch of nonsense up to fill time and waste yours.
Dude, this Angry Imp is cracked. Do not engage. He is the very definition of an internet troll who doesn’t have the mental capacity to comprehend complex stories. Especially ones about women. Just don’t even try with this Baccraut
@assassinscreedislife7636 lol you're using norse words. Get over this game idiot. I'm not sexist I'm just not dumb.... but please act white night. You think odin returning as a women is good story.... you're opinions are nonsense.
Let's get Freya and make her a man. That an epic idea right?
