Assassin’s Creed Valhalla explores a narrative that surrounds many characters from Norse Mythology, weaving them into the game’s story in interesting ways. Not only do Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players get to explore a world of Vikings in England, but they also get to weave in the likes of Asgard into their play sessions. Mythical characters such as Thor, Freya, and Tyr, make an appearance and become closely tied to the overall narrative direction that Valhalla takes.
Of all the characters in Norse Mythology, Odin may be one of the most recognizable. Known for his power and wisdom, Odin is an iconic character throughout Norse Mythology. He has been adapted into many different variations between movies and video games as well as other forms of media. In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Odin’s role is deeply ingrained into the narrative that Eivor experiences.
Valhalla players will be treated to glimpses of Odin from an early point in the game, with his involvement being important to the development of Eivor’s story. Making suggestions in Eivor’s head, as well as showing frustration at some of their decisions, Odin is never far from them. Eventually this connection becomes overwhelming and Eivor must face Odin.
Facing Odin is more of a test of will than a fight. Odin cannot be beaten in the traditional sense, requiring more than a sharp weapon to defeat. Near the end of the game, players will confront Odin in a sort of dreamscape. Odin is armed with his spear and will taunt players while he attacks them. Players will not have access to their usual gear and instead will wield an axe.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will force players to fight endlessly, if players die, the presence of Sigurd, and Randvi, will bring Eivor back to their feet. If Eivor tries to run away towards Sigurd and Randvi, Odin will drag them back to the battle. After a couple of deaths, the game will inform players that Odin has control over their axe, preventing Eivor from reaching Sigurd.
Beating Odin is rather easy. Valhalla players only need to drop their axe, which they can do by entering the inventory menu and unequiping the axe. Odin will start to panic, calling for players to pick up their axe and fight like a true warrior, but they should not listen. With the axe unequipped, Odin has no control over Eivor. Valhalla players need only to run towards Sigurd, to end this fight and trigger a cutscene.
Assassins Creed Valhalla is full of many tough fights and difficult challenges, yet one of the most powerful Norse gods becomes powerless if players simply refuse to fight him in the first place.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
