Assassin's Creed Valhalla Story Analysis Part 1 - The Anomalies Messages
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- After ending our no-spoiler period and releasing our written spoiler review (www.accesstheanimus.com/ACV_Re..., and also following up on our #ACDay celebrations, we are finally ready to share with you a more in-depth analysis dedicated to the ending of Assassin's Creed Valhalla and the context surrounding it!
This is not going to be your standard analysis of the ending though. In fact, we are actually planning a series of in-depth videos that will explain in detail all the aspects and context that are needed to fully understand the game’s ending along with the several references to the lore and narrative established in the past games connected to it.
Because of that, we are going to start from a specific starting point, and from there we’re going to follow a logic and narrative path through several videos in order to gain all the elements and details needed to fully understand the ending of the game.
That starting point is none other than the Animus Anomalies or, more specifically, the hidden dialogues within them, so this video will be fully dedicated to them, before we move on to a different topic surrounding the ending of the game.
We can't express how happy we are to go back to our story analyses and theories on this channel! It took us quite some time but we're back!

#AssassinsCreed #AssassinsCreedValhalla - เกม
Assaassins creed is the most underrated lore I’ve ever seen. This is amazing.
I have a modern interpretation. The supercomputers calculated that Loki's son would be responsible for Odin's death. That is why he invented the lies to imprission him. He couldn't kill him because he was blood related , so he imprissioned him.
I hope that they won't make the same mistake as with the Juno storyline and that they won't put the rest of Loki story in a comic.
Tried explaining all this to a friend who didn't understand anything that happened in valhalla, now I can show him this hopefully he will understand now 🤣
Ahhh! We're super happy if we're able to help!
If only the larger AC audience also watched these videos we wouldn't hear shit comments like Valhalla had no story or it's story was boring etc lol.
Story was great! I feel as though Dag was written poorly among some other instances where your choices seemed meaningless. Other than that, the armor and weapon pool looks nice, but is very small and it’s gotten to a point where there is more content in the store than in the whole game.
also those people that say “AC needs to stop being about ancient myth gods and about assassins and Templar’s”
THIS! I'm so fed up with people saying the story is bad only cause they didn't understand it!
This! It wasn’t a straight forward story about assassins and templars. I would say Valhalla is more about Isu (first civ) and templars (order of the ancients) and narrative connections to older games. Problem is lots of people wanted just an straight assassin story, and Valhalla wasn’t that. I don’t understand how some say it was boring or bland. Valhalla narrative was the most interesting narrative since like AC 3. At least Valhalla actually pushed narrative forward in interesting way. Truthfully, after AC 3 the games were just play as an “assassin” in a time period but doesn’t do anything for overall narrative in the series, which is pointless in my opinion. Valhalla’s narrative was one of the best honestly, sad people don’t appreciate it because “it’s not assassins creed” mindset some have.
even without the isu and present part i think the story is awesome, the game is just too boring with it's useless missions
From watching these, the Norse visions and piecing together who was in in said visions, it just felt amazing to have such a throwback to Black Flag and a new take on an old concept I hated after Black Flag.
Indeed, Valhalla breathes new life on several plot threads that had been left behind years ago!
@@AccessAnimus It also finally wrapped up Clay's message to Desmond about Eve - now that Layla's inside the Grey. Wonder who our new protagonist is going to be, since Basim...well, let's just say my gut says he's going to go down the 'Juno' route in a way
@@jeremyprinzen5954 "I'm SAVING you, idiot!"
Called it almost a decade ago when I was just barely a teenager, Clay was literally *saving* Desmond--i.e., like saving a computer file.
I'm curious to see who Loki's son really is. An Asgardian and Olympian hybrid? I can see why Odin would be worried about that
Our next analysis video *may* touch upon that!
@Dominic Haertig yes in traditional myths you're right but in this game Eivor can't comprehend what the Isu really are so she just views them as their norse version
Indeed, that's a good theory. Or perhaps He was a double-agent or an Olympian diplomat which then became rogue. That's why Loki could have been a Jottum (an Olimpian) living within the Asgardians.
He could have planned an internal coup and that's why he provoked the attack of the giants at the start of the Asgardian Arc. Then, He could have let in The Builder, a direct Olympian spy, and smuggled his son and Lieutenant Fenrir, codename: "The Wolf" (perhaps that's also why the Order of the Ancients used codenames whilst the reformed Templars didn't). That also explained why Loki's sons were kept in the dark: He had a political marriage to Asgardian Sigyn. Once Odin took notice of Olympian Fenrir, he looked him away. The tryout for peace between Asgardians and Olympians was a frail one.
@@carlosalbertofernandezvele7574 That's a very cool theory, kudos sir!
@@AccessAnimus Maybe he a martian
The dialog that loki says to the staff when you exit the animus as him now makes alot more sense knowing that the staff is technically his wife.
Narratively, this is the most quality Assassin's Creed game in a while. I loved this analysis! Can't wait for the rest! The lore of this series has always captured me and it even made me a history buff in the process hahaha, watching these videos gives me an ambivalent feeling of nostalgia and having my mind blown lol(sorry for commenting twice, I forgot I I'd already commented 😅, deleted the other comment)
We had the same feeling about Valhalla after a few years of "underperforming" lore in the franchise. A mix of nostalgia from the early games and having our mind blown :P
@@AccessAnimus I'm glad! Happy to know others, especially some who are deeply delving into the lore like yourself, are feeling the same! It is a great time to be an Assassin's Creed fan
It's the pacing that suffers from the bloated game.Plus ubisoft wanted an easy to play game which people could just pick up, which kept a lot of main plot details in the background.
So Loki is definitely gonna try to put Alethias consciousness into a human host...that's gonna be an issue...or should I say...an isu
That is a very likely situation, maybe that's why he's also after the Templars, he might need the remnants of the Phoenix Project that was used to give Juno a body :D
Maybe he took sigurd
Just Elijah can save us
I just found your channel an hour ago and im blown away with the quality content and in depth analysis you guys provide. gonna binge through all your videos the following days.. Thank you so much ❤️!
I will be looking forward to this story analysis videos. You guys really do a great job to help everyone to understand the lore of the game and how it all connects to the others Assassin's Creed games.
Thank you so much mr. Viking :D
That really means a lot, we'll do our best to be as clear as possible!
So I found something very interesting. I think I just found out who Fenrir is. I just finished the book AC Last Descendants: Fate of the Gods and the main villain Isaiah literally just called himself the Fenris Wolf (who is Fenrir). Unfortunately, Isaiah dies by the end so I’m not sure whether he really was the reincarnation of Fenrir or if he was a sage of him like Bartholomew Roberts. His main goal was to bring Ragnarok (the end of the world).
If we need several 20 minute videos to understand the plot of a fucking videogame, then the videogame has failed to capture its audience. That's on Ubisoft, in my opinion.
@@Thedudec this is a game about the hidden secrets of the past veiled in the guise of those in the past's intentional direction. They have motive to obscure things as they want to end up with complete power they had before.
As such the game's inherent modern day implications is complex by nature. This is good for sales because it can produce infinite games but it is kind of bad because of how hard it is to understand what is going on.
The former narrative director or whatever his title was recently left the company on presumption that corporate seems to be pushing the sales things harder and making the story even more convoluted. I expect the narrative to take a dip in the future
Isaiah is his son reborn dang basim needs to se that
@@thomasdaywalt7735 well Isaiah is dead now so-
Man... it's such a cool channel.. why youtube doesn't recommend me cool channels??
You helped me understand the lore of the Assassins and Isu better, which I really like since I was a kid. You also sound like you're enthusiastic about the stuff you talk about and that gives the whole stuff that nice flavour that it has.
Great job! Nice videos! Subbed and appreciated!
I was hoping for this kind of video. Thanks!
Haha you're welcome!
Were you interested in something specific?
@@AccessAnimus I wantef analysis on the anomaly messages
If the wasn't a channel like yours, mate, I wouldn't have answers. Thank u very much.
Jotunheim = Greco-Roman Isu World ???
Valhalla made me know about Different Groups of Isu's...
I thought they were all the same.
Happy AC Day !
Maybe....? We'll have to get to the Jotunheim video(s) to see that!
(Spoilers: Yes)
That actually makes a shit ton of sense.
Awesome breakdown my man!!!
I wish they put this into the context of the main story instead of side things you could do.. it would have made the story more interesting
This is such a great analysis, thank you for making this video! Basim is such an interesting character and I wonder if, by the time we meet him, he was already fully "corrupted" by Loki. Sometimes it feels like Loki is the one speaking, like in the campfire scene when he talks about his son, while sometimes it seems like the real Basim is seeping through, like when he tells Eivor about his childhood/early years. Do you have any theories? 😅
Both Basim and Loki wanted the same thing: Revenge against those who harmed their families.
I've only ever played the newer rpg ac games as I was too young to play the original games, so a lot of this is going over my head lol. i just enjoyed the main game's ending, but seeing this many connections is really cool
Thanks for this vid, not really up on my AC lore, so this explained a lot for me 👍
Ahhh yes! We're doing this also for fans like you, we love explaining the lore of the games and especially sharing the various connections we see to fellow fans!
Ahhhh great video as always
Hahah :D Thanks for watching and enjoying it!
Wait so in eivors visions he sees it as he’d imagine it the home of the gods and all that but you mention at 14:28 that Juno was stripped of her title by telling Odin how to survive the cataclysm so does that mean that Juno is hyrrokin that out Odin up to stealing the mead that was the betrayal and Suttungr was Jupiter who had the mead and Minerva is his daughter gunlodr which would explain why we hear ezio talking to her? Damn I wish we could’ve seen the visions of the past as they were to play as an actual isu and see Minerva Juno and Jupiter in assassins creed Valhalla to see Odin and Jupiter fight
It seems like Loki is sort of the tragic hero, he and his family suffered a lot over the leader of there Isu cell, plus it seems his main plan is to try and get his family back I say he has elements of a hero and a villain so I think Anti-Hero kind of fits for him for now with this information. At least we can say he at least is the opposite of Juno, for now.
Glad to see you’re making these kinds of analysis videos on Valhalla. I was waiting for someone to make something like this but no one’s really making them cause the game’s only been out for a month. Thanks ATA!
KAGE! Where have you been! We've missed you so much!
YAS, we're happy we're still able to do stuff you enjoy or you were hoping for! We are planning to have quite a few of these, so the next weeks are covered for sure :D
@@AccessAnimus That’s awesome! Yes I’ve been gone for a while, life got busy for me, but hopefully I will be speed again one day :)
@@kazekagejichujisoo7838 We'll always be there to see you being speed once again!
best video so far about the story
I do wonder in the next games will we play as elijah(Desmonds son) as it stands he is the only person powerful enough to go toe to toe with basrim.
Could Loki's son be Adam?Odin locked him away due to him being partly responsible for starting the isu human civil war
It could be, although there isn't much evidence to support that theory as of now
Cant be Adam. Adam and Eve were hybrids, half Isu half human. Fenrir isn’t half human, just the lovechild of two Isu who were on different levels of their societies and relationships like those were frowned upon by the Aesir.
Suddenly the convoluted story that was not going anywhere is now a convoluted amazing plot.
Great video!
Thank You for your hard work and analysis.
Thank YOU for watching!
Great video
I’d argue that what you refer as the 5th and 6th files in the series are actually the 2nd and 3rd files in the series because isn’t it that when you play the Asgard-Jotunheim arc, you only bind Fenrir AFTER you return to Asgard from Jotunheim? That also makes what you consider the 4th file flow better to the 7th file, because they “got found” on the 4th file leading to Aletheia’s being mortally wounded in the 7th file.
Nicely done.
Thank you!
The part that interests me is Loki said the council, givin that there weren’t jotnar and muspels, this leads me to believe that several pantheon led by their Chief diety
Ojay! I don't want to sound all heavy. But I found all 10 of these easy to do. Why? I like to work out puzzles... it wasn't hard, observe surroundings, look for clues, execute and proceed. #10 was the longest and it wasn't that difficult to work out. Timing and precision is key through some of these but the final recording... we know who Basim really is...? Which I suspected way early on in the game.
They did such a good job with this game.
Something that I’m still wondering is how the Isu that are reborn, were almost all reborn around the same time and almost all the people they were reborn as knew each other. It also seams really unlikely that they were all reborn as Norse people that believed in them as gods, and not people from another culture.
Is there a reason for that you think? Maybe I’m missing something
Basim mind was taken over by Loki hence why he believes in the Norse Gods. Even tho he wasn’t Nordic he believe the gods to be true.
@@tobiasboon8496 True I forgot about Basim, but other than that I think all of them that we know of were Norse which just seams really unlikely.
@@niekw3793 I believe maybe Odin and the gang were able to use their technology and that time-tree machine to plan their rebirth at the same location and same time.
I guess the same way how Desmond and Layla were looking at the tree at future timelines, Odin and the rest used it similarly for planning their rebirth. I also remember Odin saying "from the life tree we go to the life tree we return", and I'm pretty sure that the 'life tree' is or has some connection to the time tree
@@jasonlal9570 Thats true they could use calculations to see into the future, that’s probably how yeah
I think you got the order of the visions wrong, especially now that the new DLC has been announced, taking place AFTER the base game's mythological plot and thus AFTER Juno gave the 7th method to Havi. Since Baldr is still alive at the beginning of this DLC, it's unlikely Juno hasn't already been cast out.
I think that the dialogues go:
1. 3:36, first 7th method dialogue, very conversational and neutral.
2. 5:58, Juju has been cast away because she gave the serum to Havi (like she does in the mythological plot before Havi imprisons Fenrir) but the 7th method works, continuation of the previous conversation. Aletheia does call Odin their "tormentor", but she also says later that he had threatened them before imprisoning their son, and the conversation is still very quiet and calm, so I don't think this happens after Fenrir was captured (or at least I think that when Loki says Odin imprisonned Fenrir, he means the end of the mythological storyline when Fenrir is finally imprisonned for good with the unbreakable rope, not just under surveillance).
3. 4:08, Odin has imprisoned Fenrir (Loki calls him "one-eyed retch" so this indeed takes place after Havi got the serum), end of the base game's mythological plot.
4. 4:44, Loki, in a fit of rage, kills Baldr, most likely this is the end of the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC.
5. 6:32, Odin is looking for a way to resurrect his son, most likely he doesn't know yet that Loki killed him. Loki and Aletheia are planning to steal the serum from him, so they know he has it, it has been made public knowledge that Juno got the serum and gave it to Havi, therefore she has been exiled already. They don't seem alarmed at all so the soldiers probably haven't come for them yet.
6. 5:34, soldiers come to avenge Baldr, most likely at the order of Odin who figured out it was Loki who killed his son. There is urgency in this conversation, the soldiers aren't just gonna give them a little talk and leave, they're here for vengeance.
7. 7:03, while escaping from the soldiers, Aletheia got hurt and now, her only hope is the serum... or the staff 👀
8. 7:57, Loki is trying to put Aletheia's consciousness in the staff and refusing to go to Odin for help because he would say no.
9. 8:32, the transfer worked, Aletheia is now in the staff.
10. 9.05, the Great Catastrophe is happening, Loki is going to steal the serum.
Which leads to the final cutscene, where Loki uses the serum before reincarnation into Basim, and then transferred to the present.
Idk why but I never heard the one where he killed Baldr
When Basim's hologram appears you can actually see Loki's face before basim's
Idk why I never noticed this before, but Loki calls Odin a “one-eyed wretch” right after he locked up Fenrir. I suppose it’s possible he gained that scar in battle rather than sacrificing it.
Odin literally translates to "The Mad One".
So, Kassandra was just a pawn in their elaborate rebirth game, and stayed alive through those centuries for nothing. Tragic.
Kinda like how Connor was a pawn for Juno. He was tasked by Juno to join the Assassins to get the Grand Temple key from the Templars in the belief that his people would be safe.
Juno used Connor to guide Desmond to where he needed to go.
@@Phanthief95 the Isu are never to be trusted
Humans are always pawns for the ISU
So like was Hermes OK with Alethea being in his staff? Did he even know about it that’s a pretty big plot hole in my opinion since that’s how Pythagoras got his hands on the staff in the first place was because of Hermes who handed it off to him
He may not have known of her soul residing within the staff itself. Or, he did, and may have been sympathetic to the cause.
Hermes was an Olympian Isu, so it wouldn't be too far fetched to think of him as supporting Aletheia and Loki's cause.
Seriously the Jotunheim and Asgard arcs could have been the best in Valhalla and one if the best moments in the franchise BUT as its not possible to enjoy those arcs without facepalming yourself because of this ridiculous looking giants(Jotnar). If Valhalla would have showed us the REAL Isu Story than the game would have been 100 times Better. But Ubisoft cares more about Norse Mythology than the First Civilization stuff that made this franchise also so unique and great.
Some things that I couldn’t understand, they were reborn human, only the consciousness was them (isu) so if the consciousness took over like Loki does with Basim, they still remain human so unless they do like Basim/Loki and get hold of the staff (or another piece of Eden) they would die? Is this right? I mean it makes sense but also seems crazy they went through all that trouble to be reborn for a relatively short life.
Second thing was if they go to the tree and let it take them like Svala did there’s nothing the Isu side could do because they needed a human body to roam, so what actually happens? Do they stay “alive” inside the tree until a body is available? Does connecting to the tree even mean the stay alive? My heads spinning but I’m loving it lol!
Nice
Thanks!!
holy cow Odin imprison Loki's son the mother was Alethia that means he's a hybrid Olympian and Norse but in revenge he killed Baldor by a misetol berry he became mad because of his son and the seventh method by the mother they used it to do so by rebirth alexios is a means to an end so what basim wants revenge evior died with no heir
So does the afterlife actually exist in Assassins Creed?
Does anyone know what is written on the cliff outside the cabin outside the animus?
Wait...Alethia was in the staff of Hermes, but Hermes himself survived thousands of years so he could give it to Pythagoras...did he knew about her inside the staff?
A very interesting question! Who knows, maybe she played the silence game for thousands of years :P
Loki is a Hidden-One/Assassin with a Templar mindset
😂
Loki is Jotnar so he is of the same people/caste as Aletheia.
That he is, and it factors in in the Jotunheim arc, but in the mythology if we're not mistaken, he is also accepted within the Aesir despite him being a Jotun (before he fathers his children with Angrboda etc.)
So Loki (basim) ,evor (Odin), halfdan (Thor) are sages and will keep getting reborn ?
So are the Isu now Jotun? Or is that how the Norse gods saw the Isu. Not 7 feet tall humanoids with glowing cricles and lines on their bodies.
I sottotitoli in Italiano non li mettete più?
Has anyone else noticed that Junos husbands name sounds like "eye eater" could he have been the big snake re incarnated or loki? Just a thought lol
Please don't stop making videos like this
I wonder if Sigrud is the regeneration of THE FATHER OF UNDERSTANDING? Because he said that he is a ROMAN GOD
Imagine being able to beat asgaurd and not have it brake in defensive measures
Wait? One of the Isu is the Father of Understanding?
The Templars have always said "May the Father of Understanding guide us!"
Are we to believe that the Templars are originally an order of a Isu Cult?
So, the short answer would be yes.
The long answer is that "Father of Understanding" was a political title like "Mother of Wisdom" and "Sacred Voice" in the Isu society.
The Order of the Ancients (which was the organization that laid the roots for the Templar Order) was indeed born with the aim of following the teachings of the Isu (the Ancients), searching for their artifacts, sometimes trying to bring them back etc. - Because of this, the Order also adopted the names of "Father of Understanding", "Mother of Wisdom" and "Sacred Voice" to indicate its most important leaders.
It was only with King Aelfred of Wessex, which started a reformation of the Order aimed at reorganizing it under the Christian God that he decided to re-use the name of "Father of Understanding" to describe the Christian god
@@AccessAnimus This was short, but vital. Thank you. And great content, folks.
When Basim sits down and sees eivour could it actually be Odin since she is wearing Odin's clothes
That's very interesting to interpret - he sees female Eivor, whatever gender you choose in the game. Thus, it's intentional that he's seeing *her* and not Odin.
What's interesting is that she is wearing the robes Odin wore in Eivor's mind. To me it feels like, as Odin was Eivor's inner """"enemy"""" through her story, Basim considers Eivor as his own inner enemy, an enemy that he sort of respects considering how they nod at each other
- Markuz
So since Loki has the staff of Hermes does that mean aletheia planned for Alexios to get the staff to give to Layla so Loki would get it???
Yes
Also I like in the Asgard story arc that Odin is referred to as Havi.could possibly be Odin's true Isu name
We actually believe his true Isu name is Odin because in the Hidden Truth video the actual Isu is referred to as Odin in the dialogues (same goes for Loki)
I think it’s just due to the fact that Odin had a lot of names: Havi, The Mad One, The All Father, etc. However, it could also be that all the isu usually had more than one name. Remember in AC2 how Minerva explained to Ezio that she was also called Merva, Juno was also Uni/Hyorikkin in AC Valhalla, and Jupiter was Tinia.
@@kazekagejichujisoo7838 That's also true, it's entirely possible all the Norse names of the gods may have been used for the Isu at some point, exactly because of that dialogue by Minerva in AC2 :D
@@AccessAnimus his real name is Wednesday. And the name Thursday is actually named after his son Thor.
I think the different names are partly cos of different tongues in different worlds, and also the fact they live so long that each life span, they'd kind of re invent themselves. And rightly so.. Cos I reckon people could change alot of a millenia or so 😂
those name yaldabaoth saklas(fool in hebrew) you can find it in judas account
Loved the video but isn't the thumbnail and title kinda spoilery? you could've titled it "The hidden story behind the animus anomalies" or something like that
If desmond is the reader then layla is the author?
What a plot twist it would be for us to find out that Loki's son's conscience was transferred into a wolf's body and for Loki to be the real hero of the series.
Actually, Loki is the real hero of the Asgard and Jotunheim arcs.
We know that the anomalies where made by Loki. But why? How do the anomalies affect his plan?
So, we should have been more precise, as the anomalies were made by Basim, as in while he was locked in the Yggdrasil device, as in some of the modern day conversation it is said that they were inserted in the simulation with surgical precision by an external source which entered their server, dropped them and got out without being detected.
As for the "why", we guess it was to show the Assassins and Layla about what truly happened (and not the edited versions of they myth arcs) and also to show the various Isu activating the seventh method to make the Assassins understand what they were "truly" seeing in Eivor's memories. There's also a chance he decided to show them that video, which features the Yggdrasil, in order to push them to reach the Yggdrasil device itself, where he was lying
@@AccessAnimus Thank you! I have been looking for an answer to that question for quite a while. Your analysis and explanation made me appreciate the game even more. Love your videos!
@@Broox38 You're welcome! We always try our best
@@AccessAnimus Both options are valid as to why Loki / Basim made the anomalies. But I would dare to say that he did it rather to show what happened in the Isu era and for Layla to go, activate the device and he can leave the nexus. Now we know the reason why both Aletheia and Loki carried out their plan long ago to reunite with their children, and the reason why Loki hates Odin since he was the cause of inventing crimes to imprison him, according to Loki's words. He immediately murders the son of Odin, who we suppose to be Baldur. Therefore I do not see Basim as a villain as most think, precisely for the reasons that I detail before. Therefore, it would be interesting to see why Odin imprisoned Loki's son and under what accusations he did, and all this in the Isu era.
@@omarpalmieri270 some people are making the theory that Fenrir was imprisoned simply because he was of a different caste or a different race (he’s half Greek mythology isu and half Norse mythology isu since his dad is Loki and his mom is Aletheia). Others are saying he’s an actual monster/beast due to the Olympios project by Juno from Odyssey where she experimented on humans and made them monsters.
I made the mistake of never leaving the animus.
can we still call him "Loki" since a breakdown of mirage confirmed the name was just eivor memory filling the places?
Uhm... which breakdown do you mean?
Technically we should because during the Animus Anomalies final scene (which takes place during the Isu Era with no filters), if you use the subtitles with the names of the characters, both Odin and Loki are named Odin and Loki, so those should be their official, canon names.
(while Odin is actually named Havi in the myth sequences)
Is it possible to complete all the anomalies with Layla? If so, are there any differences?
Hey Rickyb,
yes you can complete them all with Layla only!
The difference is that if you complete them with Layla you can listen to all the dialogues that she has with Rebecca and Shaun that you miss, of course, if you complete the anomalies with Basim.
Have you completed them with Basim?
-Sary
@@AccessAnimus OK sweet, and no I've not finished them yet, I've got Hordafylke and Hamtunscire left, but I'm about to go back to Hordafylke for the story bit before the epilogue, so I might do the anomalies first then!
Surely after a long time valhalla is a proper assassin's creed
It is indeed!
Eh, kind of. But a pretty watered down one if anything.
@@the_seer_0421 can you kindly explain why?? Actually i haven't played valhalla yet. Maybe i will get it next year
@@ritabrataroychowdhury8958 well, I don't really wanna ruin it for you since everyone can interpret it differently and have different opinions on the game and you might end up liking it more than I do but all can say is that it has both the classic ac elements and the newer ones. And although that sounds good on paper, but the two just don't really work well together and while they try to please both sides, they end up pleasing nobody. Although, the story, I think is actually better than in odyssey, the gameplay feels like a rather boring disappointment compared to odyssey (which is something, I never thought, I'm going to say) that you have to go through to enjoy the story. It also takes a lot for it to pick up and really get interesting. All in all, the return of some classic ac features is nice but if I want that, I'd just go and play the older games and if I want an rpg ac game I'd just go and play odyssey since both of those types of games did a better job than valhalla. Is it a bad game tho? No, far from it but for me it was a bit of a disappointment in certain aspects. It could have been better. (it also runs like shit on pc, please FOR THE LOVE OF ODIN don't buy it for PC, of course if you have a choice, lol)
@@ritabrataroychowdhury8958 but If you really want to know more just watch some reviews. Although take them with a grain of salt as some of them are a bit too negative imo.
Hey hmm I'm a bit late lol
What is this "field" of energy or spacetime they use?
Being capable to manipulate tech even if your dead/"asleep".
Isu are balls deep future stuff.
They predicted Desmond was eating a donut in the year 2011.
Desmond:Oh so good.
Jupiter:What is that?
Minerva:Some kind of advanced tech.
Juno:I want one.
Lmao
The mead might be information on something like a flash drive hmm the serum is for Isu to Human transfer(I think the serum is Isu DNA by storing the third helix in both helix strands) and the catalyst is to prepare both the Isu and Human DNA to bond(more like cause DNA to bond and reconstruct at a faster pace).:)
Granted all of this is done with both hosts in mind to much serum and catalyst causes DNA damage(basically desintergration from the inside).
Hmm Yggdrasil the supercomputer might have been used to slow down the side effects(time issues no time for perfection)+all the incarnation surveillance and choose bod to reincarnate and it's only a few Isu lmao
And forgot lol the simulation creation and reading the future. ;)
I’m slightly confused, I thought due to the Ezio voice that Hyrrokin was Minerva. Could someone clear up who is who, and the Ezio voice please?
Of course :D
Basically Suttungr is Jupiter, Hyrrokin is Juno, Angrboda is Aletheia and Gunlodr is Minerva :D

@@AccessAnimus Thank you so much. To be honest once i simply continued to watch your videos you explain it haha. I have finished the game but clearly remebered Hyrrokin and Gunlodr being the same person, oops! Im a new subscriber to your videos and have loved the depth you go to, are there any for Odyssey? Keep it up and thank you!
@@darklorddysart Oh! Hahah, yeah, our videos go a bit more in depth than that answer :P
Thank you so much for subscribing, we will make sure you won't regret it!
As for what concerns Odyssey, back then we did a lot of videos dedicated to the Weekly Resets of the items in game and less videos analyses (we have those on our website though :P) - although we did do an analysis for Odyssey, it was about the Heir of Memories quest.
That was our first video analysis so... *cough* but in case you're that brave: th-cam.com/video/AWs_z_F3sKU/w-d-xo.html
@@AccessAnimus thank you! Valhalla has really revitalised my love for these games so I’m glad to find a TH-cam channel that I can jump into when not playing :)
I have finished the story but i didn't finish the animus anomalies so can i do them or i cant ?
You can go back and finish them any time.
@@legosmithsigh first did you finish the story?
You can but you'll just complete them as
*Spoiler*
Basim instead since he takes Layla's place
1:35 A...Am..Amongus?
What is the name of the song in 13:25
That would be "The Bearded Axe (feat. Einar Selvik)!
@@AccessAnimus Thank you and im waiting for more of these videos
@@lokzu2622 Soooon!!
well the isu fought not only humans but themselves
I hate that they force female evior and kassandra as canon.. why couldn’t they just have it referred to as evior with no he or she and as eagle bearer. Like when you look at the laptop it says Layla got the staff from kassandra why not say eagle bearer and not alienate all those that picked Alexios.
Wait the mother of wisdom isn't Minerva? because it gives me the feeling that it is Minerva and that the sacred voice was Juno. Because when you go to Vinland and get the orb by killing Gorm that voice is Juno, it is not Minerva. And the one speaking to Connor in ac3 is Juno.
Yes, the Mother of Wisdom is Juno as she stated in AC Syndicate (you can check that here ^^ th-cam.com/video/SGKMb5-IRqQ/w-d-xo.html)
As far as we know "Sacred Voice" doesn't necessarily mean that it's a character that sent message through time, as the "Sacred Voice" title existed way before the invention of the Eye and the technology that allowed to send messages through time
Another thing, it is difficult to locate in which period each dialogue that Aletheia has with Loki in the anomalies happens, and this video that you make access the animus is very useful. Although it is not known in which city all this happens. And what we saw in Odyssey where exactly is that event located? because Atlantis was another city, and Aletheia was the diskastis in that city. Because in reality one does not know if what we heard in the anomalies happened in the city of Feyan or Atlantis or in the city where Odin, Loki and the other Isus lived.
@@omarpalmieri270 Yeah, at this point we can only guess. In the Jotunheim arc it's basically shown that Angrboda's house is where Aletheia lived and possibly where she met with Loki when he wasn't in the "Asgardian" part of the world / city. That would lead us to assume that the anomalies dialogues took place in there.
Then again, you're right in saying that Aletheia was a Dikastes in Atlantis, which was a different city and didn't even see eye-to-eye with Eden. Then again (x2), they never clearly stated what was real and was not in the Fate of Atlantis simulations, so that might also have been all fake...
@@AccessAnimus Ahhh yes, I forgot about the ac syndicate, I would have to play it again. I think it would be good that in future games they explain well how the Isus were distributed some time ago, so the Isu era would be better understood and how the relationship between them and their differences was. What do you think access the animus? Because the events we did in Odyssey in the dlc the fate of the atlantida still make noise to me.
@@AccessAnimus Another thing that does not make sense in the dlc the fate of the atlantis, is that when you collect the knowledge Isu tells the story of fans, Eva's father and who escaped together with his wife and sought refuge in Atlantis. There is a contradiction at this point with the video of the truth that we see in ac2? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it talks about that Eva in those knowledge files in the dlc.
What If it’s there son in a metaphorical sense like a biological experiment or something like that
Ok but i thought it was basim who planted the animus anomaly?
Ehi Rebecca!
Yes that is correct! It was Basim/Loki the one "creating" them!
-Sary
Emmm...considering male & female as canon is ...lol
I think it says canon cause actually male is Odin...but the obvious protogonist is female at the end...nth more nth less i guess
It’s kinda funny how odyssey was all just a set up to get u killed in the next game
The sound is awful. You should have voiced over their dialog.
Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
Dude change the title. That's a straight up spoiler, so dont lie, cuz I know it's you being lazy with the unique click batting picture. Stick to cut outs from the fragment videos like the fetus. Then don't mention it once until the next video so veiw gets the sense of wtf anticipation. You know it's way too soon for Loki/you know who.
The story suffers from the bloated game and the ubisoft decision to keep the more complicated plot details half hidden away.
Worst assassins creed game : mirage
All nonsense and gibberish they won't succeed...
?
The worst game and the most bugged I've ever played.
Yeah also playing as homosexual afro "Viking" it's not "cool"
Nice
