Everything else

Odin: Leave me now and you’re nothing. With me you’ve wisdom! Glory! Power! What more do you need! Eivor: Everything Else. This is the final moment between Eivor & Odin. This cutscene starts after the Boss Fight with ODIN, when Eivor betrays Odin. Odin demands Eivor to stay and fight but Eivor leaves Odin for his people. Odin In AC Valhalla: Like many of the main characters in Assassin’s Creed, Eivor is related to the Isu, but not as indirectly as those before. In previous games, this was used to justify a super-sense the Assassin characters had, called Eagle Vision. In Valhalla, Eagle Vision is renamed Odin’s Sight due to this ’s character model in-game resembles the male version of Eivor for good reason. It is eventually revealed that Eivor, Sigurd, and Basim are in fact reincarnations of the Isu named Havi/Odin, Tyr, and Loki respectively, thanks to an Isu plot to survive “Ragnarok,“ referring to the Great Catastrophe which destroyed the First Civilization. Despite being revealed to be a reincarnated Isu themself, the way that Eivor reinterprets events in the Isu’s history using the lens of events in Norse myth like Ragnarok points to the strange nature of Odin’s role in Odin that appears in Eivor’s visions Valhalla is, in one sense, not a real person even in the game’s story. Just as players might assume that the threads being woven by the Nirn are not actually supposed to indicate that the Isu were adept weavers, the Odin of Eivor’s visions is an interpretation of information being passed to Eivor from a real Isu, but the version of Odin seen in-game is transformed through the cultural lens of Norse myth. Odin’s portrayal in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla marks a noticeable change in direction for the series, synthesizing some of the more magical aspects focused on since Assassin’s Creed Odyssey into the fictional history of Assassin’s Creed’s universe and also helping to finally bring the modern-day plotline back into the fold.
