After completing the East Anglia arc in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players will be tasked with reporting to Randvi about what happened there. Before they get the chance, they’ll find themselves settling a dispute between Rowan and Holger, and sitting in Sigurd’s throne in the process. Players no doubt want to know whether they should say if Rowan or Holger is in the right.
Like many choices in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, this one actually doesn’t matter. Though the dialogue will be different depending on what Eivor says, there is no effect on the overall story of the game or any gameplay elements. With that in mind, players should just pick who they think is in the right.
More than anything, the outcome would affect either Rowan or Holger, but even they don’t change in any way based on Eivor’s decision. This is truly a just a case that allows for players to role play Eivor and develop the character in their own mind.
Holger, the brother of Alvis and an avid painter, decided to sneak into Rowan’s stables and cut off the tail of one of his prize horses in order to make a paint brush. His justification for this act is based on the idea that the horse’s tail will grow back, so the damage isn’t permanent. In Holger’s mind, this makes his transgression a non-problem. On the other hand, Rowan the stable hand is upset because the horse’s value has significantly decreased and the cutting of its tail was done without permission. Players have to choose whether to side with Rowan or Holger on the matter.
If the player sides with Rowan, Eivor will make Holger pay Rowan the full market price of the horse. Holger expresses his distaste for this solution, and gets even more upset when Eivor reveals that he won’t be able to keep the horse either. On the other hand, if the player sides with Holger, Rowan receives no punishment. Instead, Holger is forced to apologize and promise to never do it again, a promise that he will break later on in the story.
Ultimately, it’s up to the player to decide which outcome they like best, but most seem to agree that Holger is in the wrong. Not only did he steal the horse’s tail without permission, thereby lowering its value, but horses actually use their tails for health reasons as well. Without a tail, it won’t be able to swat away flies and other pests, and is actually at greater risk for developing an infection. Again, in terms of the story, this choice doesn’t matter.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
