So basically King Alfred let Eivor kill all of his subordinates so he could just begin again with his vision of the Order: The Templars. That is legit brilliant.
I heard some thing about bringer of light and Jesus so maybe Alfred is the one who started the ideology of the Templar and overthrow the order of ancient
Also I’m gonna say that in real life the first group of knights Templar were called poor fellow soldier and is the same name as the mission so maybe this is it the birth of the templars

Not at all, story is way out of line and makes no sense. Instead of the new games making some things clear they make it even worse.. so now a old snake is in the present day this shit makes no sense
@@mrunknown164 There is no “snake” in the modern day, Loki only wanted revenge upon Odin, and wants to re unite his family. Basim is now the protagonist, and was a hidden one to begin with, so it makes sense he’d still work for the assassins upon his return to modern times. Basim is a sage and has all the knowledge of his previous life as an Isu, which will undoubtedly help the Assassins in their fight against the Templars.
It makes me wonder if the staff could revive Basim despite him being dead for so long, could it revive Eivor? I don't know the limits of the staff as I'm not well versed in AC lore, and him being a skeleton may be too far gone for the staff, but it's interesting to think about.
Why would he want to kill him? Doesn't matter if weather he's a sage or if he's a reincarnated Loki or not. He isn't Loki he's still just Basim. He's an Assassin, no matter how strange he and his back story is. He's an Assassin.
i agree with that, tied in the story of the order and the gameplay better than just having a target on your back and not knowing what the hell is going on but killing them.
I just wish they bring back that assassins creed 1786 series with pirates and swords with better boarding i like the game but I just miss that Assassins creed black flag style
You don't have to collect ALL of those clues. You can...going from the only partially hidden bodies, find the target and kill them that way too. Also, if instead of going for the loot you first kill all the soldiers in an area first...you inadvertantly kill many targets rather than have to do some of the mini games like drinking lol.
It's not the end. The DLC's will continue the story. I won't spoil, but to give you guys a right direction search for the secret ending of Basim. It reveals something which most of us have missed. This secret ending reveals who Basim really is and why Eivor is being accused for the responsibility of his children. It also reveals who Sigurd & Eivor really are
This was a long game, but still felt incomplete. The ending was just meh. I expected more. It was a good game, but it just fizzled out. I guess I have to pay $40 to get the two expansions and see the "true" ending.
The ending was good, better than origins and odyssey. This ENDING fixed the damn problem of assassin's creed as a whole, making the present day plot interesting and move forward It's just as the batman arkham knight type of ending. U need to finish the prologue, asgard arc and the anomalies throughout england. It's to understand why basim did wht he did and will do later
This game is so weird how's this even an ending like it's just different endings for arcs like where is the True ending every game has one where credits roll what is this nonsense
@Frans Delt Thank you for correcting me. However, I’m familiar with this grammar rule. It's also important to know your audience. Since my comment is on RUclips, I could afford to use a casual tone. You, on the other hand, assumed that I must be ignorant, which is very rude. What if English isn’t my first language? Next time, ask yourself: is this comment necessary? Mind your manners, Frans.
23:26 - that is the moment were you can feel that the Assassin's Creed Saga begins... Templars Assassins Every hero, every adventure, everything begins THERE
I like how they explained how the order was renamed to the templars. I would just like to see how the hidden ones was changed to the assassins creed. I know they explained it but I want a visual
I don't really see not returning with Sigurd as a 'bad ending', more of a regrettable one. Sigurd did become pretty damn intolerable as he 180'd on you. Especially after that crap he pulled with Gudrun and that dude who mistakenly took her sail cause he thought she was throwing it away. Sigurd became a tyrant, thanks to that jerk Basim, yes, but Sigurd went right along with it.
He saved Eivors Life and is like a brother to him, in the good ending he actually apologizes and realizes that he's always been following Eivor unbeknownst to him so he ceded his position to him without a fuss and all smiles
just finished the game....i think this franchise could end its legacy through 2 more titles, first in the crusades era, with a huge middle east map, and finally, a modern day assassins creed to seal the deal...and to find out what happened to abstergo
The (bad) ending isn’t necessarily bad because if u played the story towards the end Sigurd was shown visions and wanted to leave. So this ending is sad but also Sigurd did want to leave to Valhalla so it’s good in a way
I guess I just finished the game I got the good ending and just finished the Holy Day assault and didn't even know that was it. It's weird finishing a game and not getting end credits, but I did enjoy the game. I'm guessing there will be dlc to tie everything up or VALHALLA 2 (of sorts).
What I love with these games is both sides have good motives however one is too oppressive (templars, order etc) while the assassins realistically could not work and would lead to the former. The issue I had with this game however is the ending didn't have the same impact as Odessy. I mean you had an incredibly depressing ending if things went wrong with Kassandra and it made me more determined to get a good ending 2nd time
@@JasinIseini because if he were actually playing it, it would be more than earth-shattering, just watching it doesn't excite you but I played these whole endings with a wide open mouth, so he pretty much had it coming
The reader at the end before talking to layla “ stop wipe run it again” sounded jus like desmond but changed we he saw layla?? Anybody notice or jus me
It's the Mary Leud cloak. The very same one that was glitched/stuck on you after the Mary Leud quests. Perhaps Ubisoft will make it available in our inventory one day!
This pisses on the work Kassandra put in. 2000 years on guard duty, only to be deceived by a reincarnated Jotun??!! No wonder Kassandra told Layla to destroy the staff. She already knew it was all bullshit.
Well actually he’s an isu and eivor had kind of dream sequences of norse mythology, in a way symbolic but he grew up with norse mythology so it makes sense he sees isu norse gods and the animus anomalies show the full (asgard) ending
UnknownError 404 Angraboda is the name of Loki’s mistress, and mother to Fenrir, who is Jotun. Who I’m now also lead to believe is reincarnated into Aletheia, who’s spirit is embedded within the staff. Loki didn’t deceive Kassandra. Aletheia did.
I only cared about this quest line with Eivor and Sigurd. For me the game ended when I brought both of them back to England. And I heard "Harken well in Hall of kings... " 😭😭😭
Might be just me but I couldn't give a rats arse about the 'real world' aspect of assassin's creed. All this shite with Isu's and prophets became convoluted and tedious the second it was introduced at the end of AC2. Why can't it just be a game about an illuminati type cult throughout history as a springboard to getting to explore all these interesting time periods? It simply doesn't need the extra layer of boring, tedious storytelling. I refuse to believe anyone buys an assassins creed game for anything other than the historic roleplaying aspect. I find myself skipping all real world cutscenes and racing through the segments to get back in the animus. I also find the god side quests (DLC in Odyssey and the Asgard missions in Valhalla) extremely tedious, poorly written and poorly implemented. It should be exciting to visit these places but they feel like lifeless sandboxes with linear fetch quests attached. SPOILERS Also, why is Sigurd staying considered the 'Good ending'? Absolutely nothing happened to endear Eivor to him. He was a completely shitty character that we were told by the story we care about without actually providing reasons to. It's like the writers of Game of Thrones wrote AC: Valhalla's story.
110 hours in.. The ending/s do not come close to holding up Had hoped for platinum as I did in 4 other AC games... But I'm done unless my season pass ends up meaning a damn thing. Ubi stole 100$ from me... Well played
Kind of disappointing there was never a credit role moment, I’ve done all of these cutscenes (good one) and still don’t feel like the story concluded. I just got back into the animus as Basim like wtf?
Well i got the Good ending, i was sure they were going to pull an Odyssey on me and since i decided to take the loot, against Sigurd's wishes, i was dead sure i was going to get a shitty ending. For those that don't understand the Odyssey thing, in AC Odyssey you are basically hunting down your Brother or Sister, depending on the gender you picked, and throughout the game several times your insane Sibling came up on conversation, and because i chose to tell my mother that she should'nt have too high of hopes that Kassandra (sister) would come to her senses, that apparently was enough for me to get the Neutral ending, and ho boy did that piss me off!
After seeing modern day stuff, secret ending and so on, I don't if Basim/Loki can really be considered the bad guy. Odin killed Loki's son, Fenrir, who was not really "a wolf", probably just a isu/human/??? hybrid. Understandably, Loki is vengeful and on mission to revenge his son. Just like on a mission to revenge their family (Ezio), son (Bayek) or brother (Eivor), they have killed many people who necessarily didn't deserve it. Loki/Basim only failed to understand that in this case Eivor didn't really embrace nor understand the memories of his Sage heritage, but rather shut Odin off completely so it was not really Odin he was trying to kill. I'm really looking forward to the next game. It feels like the story is back on track.
Wait, so your "choices" amount to whether Sigurd returns to England? Why the hell would I care about Sigurd, honestly? I know Eivor has attachment to him, but honestly I didn't like, or care for him all. He was gone for a huge chunk of the story, so why the would I care whether he came back or not? I thought the choices we made had a meaningful impact on the story. I guess it makes sense, since Ubisoft is technically telling a linear story, so they can't let you have too much impact on the world, but still. So disappointing. I like the game, but these endings are not good in my opinion.
Agreed, the game was seriously short too. People say I'm crazy, but I finished the game in 2 days. I skipped Odyssey, so I'm gonna go back and play that. My friend says its was longer and has a much better ending.
As someone who just got finished the first Norway missions and woke up as Layla I have no idea what's going on here and these comments make no sense but im still watching

@@theingsinator2567 because Alfred will create Templars Order that more dangerous than Orders of the Ancient. And the real historical said Alfred after the ending in this game, gather the army to war again againts the Dane. So probably, Alfred will also war with Eivor & allies. And from Valka's vision, Raventhorpe will be burn = Alfred do that.
Man I haven’t kept up with AC games but they have gotten so emotionless even tho the old games graphics weren’t as good as these the janky of it just makes the game unpleasing
I always thought the templars were a atheist order being christian in name only guess Altair's codex ironies about the assassins apply to the templars as well
Modern day Templars are atheist. Ancient Templars didn't become atheist until they found the Pieces of Eden, and even then they didn't immediately stop being religious en masse. They continued to claim to be religious to gain funding from the Church.
Not gonna lie for the epilogue I don’t think the three of them would’ve died if Sigrid would stop sitting on his ass in his bed and his throne and actually helped us
5 choices you need to pick the wrong one 3 times so, -steal the loot from Sigurd’s dad -don’t give dag his axe -romance Sigurd’s wife (pre divorce) -punch Sigurd or Basim in Oxford -Disagree with Sigurd on his final judging in Ravensthorpe (the one with the boat builder lady and painter) Idk why you’d want the bad ending though, I like having Sigurd around in the end. It would feel a bit hallow for me if he wasn’t, like trying to free him for half of the game was for nothing. There’s already enough loss for Eivor in the epilogue, no need to add losing Sigurd too.
Crazy theory: But I feel like Sigurd and Eivor will have one last fight, mainly cause of something that the Norn said where he said that Brothers will fight each other
I'm not sure for now I don't trust him all we know is he's looking for his family but what else does he want he's isu so I can't see him liking human's that much either
I kind of enjoyed the “bad ending” more. Seemed more realistic. Sure, I shagged Sigurd’s boo in the snoo and pissed him off but where was he the entire game except raving like a madman? Eivor deserved Jarldom. But I felt the story became more complete by letting Aelfred live. And that story about Aelfred self-exiling himself to Western Wessex and even getting scolded by the old pauper for burning the bread is a true story in history, so I felt the ending was more historically accurate.
to be honnest it was a hell of a story. but not everybody is a perfectionist that looks to finish literally every activity of the game sooo... most of the people will miss key parts of the plot. i wish they would've been better integrated into the game. i am one of those people, so thanks for the video 😁
I wish Ubisoft didn't fck over their games, with putting ads into them, or treating their players like crap. Otherwise I'd still have their launcher and Valhöl still installed on my computer
I finished this game so long ago but I thought there was more to the main quest! I literally have but in 18 hours past returning with Sigurd I was sooo lost because there were no more main missions
Im so confused, because why such an abrupt ending? If pacifying England, killing Basim, and finding out who the grand maegester is, is really the end, then wtf. I’ve pacified England too btw. Besides Sigurd returning or not to England (he didn’t for me), surely there’s gotta be more concerning Valka’s vision for me betraying Sigurd. Where is THAT part of the story? I’m very confused. I’m currently in Asgard as it’s not a required story arc, but I’m curious how I would progress more. This game doesn’t really make it very clear of how to progress towards the “end.”
Its a brilliant ending that ties all the loose ends from previous titles and starts a new thread in the best possible way, fucking genius move. Excited where it'll go next
So you are telling me that 116 hours I spent grinding my character to kingdom come, pledging to all those clans and nations, fought a big ass dog, traveled across oceans, climbed my way down to the Earth's core to find a pair of boots and some books, fought a big ass dude then stole his beer, fucked my brother's wife,... All that, so I could drop my weapon then run away then literally win with the power of fucking friendship so a 2000 years old dude could then take my body? And all the people that I've made friend with didn't even show up at the end? What the fuck? I could have achieved more spending 116 hours staring at a fucking wall than playing this shit. Holy fuck it's not even the $59.99 that I feel wasted.
I've just finished the game and man it was dragged out, I've played all the assassins creed games and this is the only one that i don't want to go back to and collect everything on the map, after 50 hours of poorly paced campaign I'm done with it I think, hence why i watched this video. Thanks for posting it.
Everything was great minus the Basim and Layla ending IMO. I was quite perturbed when that played out. Maybe I missed something, don’t think I did but it’s possible. I mean they watched the feed in the animus and saw him go crazy and turn on Eivor and Sigurd. Did they just forget that he went bad guy moments before.

You don't have to collect ALL of those clues. You can...going from the only partially hidden bodies, find the target and kill them that way too. Also, if instead of going for the loot you first kill all the soldiers in an area first...you inadvertantly kill many targets rather than have to do some of the mini games like drinking lol.
You did that in odyssey it isn't anything new
i just finished the game and i'm like what the F... where is the rest of the game, i'm totally confused now
Same here, I’m literally googling to see if I actually finished the game. Such a weird way to end
I agree, I finished the game yesterday and it didn't feel like an ending. I don't feel like I completed the game, so unsatisfying 🙄
It's not the end. The DLC's will continue the story. I won't spoil, but to give you guys a right direction search for the secret ending of Basim. It reveals something which most of us have missed. This secret ending reveals who Basim really is and why Eivor is being accused for the responsibility of his children. It also reveals who Sigurd & Eivor really are
@@VikingrNL I do know who Eivor, Basim and Sigurd are.
@@VikingrNL How do you know that? Sounds interesting.
This was a long game, but still felt incomplete. The ending was just meh. I expected more. It was a good game, but it just fizzled out. I guess I have to pay $40 to get the two expansions and see the "true" ending.
The ending was good, better than origins and odyssey. This ENDING fixed the damn problem of assassin's creed as a whole, making the present day plot interesting and move forward
It's just as the batman arkham knight type of ending. U need to finish the prologue, asgard arc and the anomalies throughout england. It's to understand why basim did wht he did and will do later
@@lohitsai12 I know right!!! I’m so excited for the future of ac due to the fact of basim being alive in modern day
This game is so weird how's this even an ending like it's just different endings for arcs like where is the True ending every game has one where credits roll what is this nonsense
I feel the same..where is the credits XDXD
Its confusing! I’ve been running around the game for 3 hours trying to get to the final mission... turns out I already completed it.
Casuals...smh
@Frans Delt Thank you for correcting me. However, I’m familiar with this grammar rule. It's also important to know your audience. Since my comment is on RUclips, I could afford to use a casual tone. You, on the other hand, assumed that I must be ignorant, which is very rude. What if English isn’t my first language? Next time, ask yourself: is this comment necessary? Mind your manners, Frans.
@Frans Delt I see you didn’t take my advice.
23:26 -
that is the moment were you can feel that the Assassin's Creed Saga begins...
Templars
Assassins
Every hero, every adventure, everything begins THERE
I like how they explained how the order was renamed to the templars.
I would just like to see how the hidden ones was changed to the assassins creed. I know they explained it but I want a visual
@@TheMainRyan next game probably
I don't really see not returning with Sigurd as a 'bad ending', more of a regrettable one. Sigurd did become pretty damn intolerable as he 180'd on you. Especially after that crap he pulled with Gudrun and that dude who mistakenly took her sail cause he thought she was throwing it away. Sigurd became a tyrant, thanks to that jerk Basim, yes, but Sigurd went right along with it.
He saved Eivors Life and is like a brother to him, in the good ending he actually apologizes and realizes that he's always been following Eivor unbeknownst to him so he ceded his position to him without a fuss and all smiles
just finished the game....i think this franchise could end its legacy through 2 more titles, first in the crusades era, with a huge middle east map, and finally, a modern day assassins creed to seal the deal...and to find out what happened to abstergo
The (bad) ending isn’t necessarily bad because if u played the story towards the end Sigurd was shown visions and wanted to leave. So this ending is sad but also Sigurd did want to leave to Valhalla so it’s good in a way
epic assassin armor like ezio from revelations soo epic man
yes the mentor armour looks same as ezio
I guess I just finished the game I got the good ending and just finished the Holy Day assault and didn't even know that was it. It's weird finishing a game and not getting end credits, but I did enjoy the game. I'm guessing there will be dlc to tie everything up or VALHALLA 2 (of sorts).
I didn't know it was the end cause the war in the trailer didn't happen
What I love with these games is both sides have good motives however one is too oppressive (templars, order etc) while the assassins realistically could not work and would lead to the former. The issue I had with this game however is the ending didn't have the same impact as Odessy. I mean you had an incredibly depressing ending if things went wrong with Kassandra and it made me more determined to get a good ending 2nd time
Ok I'm actually pretty fine that I spoiled myself on the ending cuz it's not as earth-shattering as what I THOUGHT was gonna happen lol.
Well basim is Loki
@@DeGallery why you gotta spoil him even more dude lol
@@JasinIseini because if he were actually playing it, it would be more than earth-shattering, just watching it doesn't excite you but I played these whole endings with a wide open mouth, so he pretty much had it coming
@@miikatenkula6356 this was shit, raise those standards
At 23:40 if you go North-East through that marshland you will come across Ubba and were he died through a spear
The reader at the end before talking to layla “ stop wipe run it again” sounded jus like desmond but changed we he saw layla?? Anybody notice or jus me
Even I thought the same. AC3 (the FINAL convo desmond has with both JUNO and MINERVA makes sense now)
WHAT A FUCKING AMAZING GAME I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THIS, LIKE HOLY HELL THIS GAME DROPKICKED ME AND I JUST BEAT IT LIKE 10 MINS AGO
Same, about an hour ago. Best Assassin’s Creed since Black Flag
Nonsense its terrible
@@RedaMounir your opinion
So , even the good guy basim were irl villain, BOY that an fun
That’s why I didn’t hesitate to punch him🤣🤣
I really wish you can have guthrums cloak he's wearing in the epilogue
It's the Mary Leud cloak. The very same one that was glitched/stuck on you after the Mary Leud quests. Perhaps Ubisoft will make it available in our inventory one day!
"For thos who fight for those who fall" send shiver to my bone😬
That armour is great in alfred cutscene what is the name of that armour...
Hidden Ones Armour
@@riteshmishra3773 nope thats mentor armor the hidden ones armor is green with gold trim
@@xXSonTJXx-x oh I thought it was the hidden ones armour.
This pisses on the work Kassandra put in. 2000 years on guard duty, only to be deceived by a reincarnated Jotun??!! No wonder Kassandra told Layla to destroy the staff. She already knew it was all bullshit.
Well actually he’s an isu and eivor had kind of dream sequences of norse mythology, in a way symbolic but he grew up with norse mythology so it makes sense he sees isu norse gods and the animus anomalies show the full (asgard) ending
UnknownError 404 Angraboda is the name of Loki’s mistress, and mother to Fenrir, who is Jotun. Who I’m now also lead to believe is reincarnated into Aletheia, who’s spirit is embedded within the staff. Loki didn’t deceive Kassandra. Aletheia did.
I didn't know that I finished the game I still have one person to meet and one place to discover
I'm missing a location and a faction, idk where to look
Leaving Sigurd behind is not a bad ending
Altair says the same thing
Sit a moment and rest
I just wanna why you thought it was a good look to run around with a shaved viking lol
For real makes him look like shit imo
Really hate how they brought Basim to the modern day. Makes it feel like you're not playing as a "real" Eivor imo
Its Just me or The reader has The same voice as Desmond?
yeah, same voice and same nose haha
definitely it is him.
I came here after doing the Hamtunscire arc, apparently I finished the game even before that. The game is awesome but confusing.
I only cared about this quest line with Eivor and Sigurd. For me the game ended when I brought both of them back to England. And I heard "Harken well in Hall of kings... " 😭😭😭
Might be just me but I couldn't give a rats arse about the 'real world' aspect of assassin's creed. All this shite with Isu's and prophets became convoluted and tedious the second it was introduced at the end of AC2. Why can't it just be a game about an illuminati type cult throughout history as a springboard to getting to explore all these interesting time periods? It simply doesn't need the extra layer of boring, tedious storytelling. I refuse to believe anyone buys an assassins creed game for anything other than the historic roleplaying aspect.
I find myself skipping all real world cutscenes and racing through the segments to get back in the animus. I also find the god side quests (DLC in Odyssey and the Asgard missions in Valhalla) extremely tedious, poorly written and poorly implemented. It should be exciting to visit these places but they feel like lifeless sandboxes with linear fetch quests attached.
SPOILERS
Also, why is Sigurd staying considered the 'Good ending'? Absolutely nothing happened to endear Eivor to him. He was a completely shitty character that we were told by the story we care about without actually providing reasons to. It's like the writers of Game of Thrones wrote AC: Valhalla's story.
Bud, with love, don't you dare compare this story to GoT's writing. I get where your rage is coming from...but just...don't you DARE.
dawg I thought there was gonna be a “final battle” typa mission where you kill Alfred until later where I found out he was the father
110 hours in.. The ending/s do not come close to holding up
Had hoped for platinum as I did in 4 other AC games... But I'm done unless my season pass ends up meaning a damn thing.
Ubi stole 100$ from me... Well played
Imagine if Eivor was the one to resurrect himself into the modern age instead of Basim. How freaky that would be.
They finally did a ac and elder scrolls mix this is really cool
Kind of disappointing there was never a credit role moment, I’ve done all of these cutscenes (good one) and still don’t feel like the story concluded. I just got back into the animus as Basim like wtf?
Kassandra spent 2400 years keeping the staff safe for Layla only for Basim to make her sacrifice moot
Honestly alfred being the oxidiert one seams like the templer order coruptet eventuly from serving the people to what it is with abstergo
Is it just me, or did none of these endings really feel like an ending?
Well i got the Good ending, i was sure they were going to pull an Odyssey on me and since i decided to take the loot, against Sigurd's wishes, i was dead sure i was going to get a shitty ending.
For those that don't understand the Odyssey thing, in AC Odyssey you are basically hunting down your Brother or Sister, depending on the gender you picked, and throughout the game several times your insane Sibling came up on conversation, and because i chose to tell my mother that she should'nt have too high of hopes that Kassandra (sister) would come to her senses, that apparently was enough for me to get the Neutral ending, and ho boy did that piss me off!
I wish you could do more in the game, maybe become king of England/Norway. Plan raids and not just press triangle
I want my end of animus Anomalies what should I do for it.
After seeing modern day stuff, secret ending and so on, I don't if Basim/Loki can really be considered the bad guy. Odin killed Loki's son, Fenrir, who was not really "a wolf", probably just a isu/human/??? hybrid. Understandably, Loki is vengeful and on mission to revenge his son. Just like on a mission to revenge their family (Ezio), son (Bayek) or brother (Eivor), they have killed many people who necessarily didn't deserve it. Loki/Basim only failed to understand that in this case Eivor didn't really embrace nor understand the memories of his Sage heritage, but rather shut Odin off completely so it was not really Odin he was trying to kill.
I'm really looking forward to the next game. It feels like the story is back on track.
I finally finished this game on PC.
Took me roughly 63 Hours!
I played it on pc as well, did it in 57 hours but i still need to find 3 codex pages and drinka rava her thing to get the final asgard thing
I'm going to assume you didn't collect everything...just the fish alone for some of the things can take an hour per altar if your luck is bad.
I got the "good ending" & all those endings in this video, but I still don't get why there's no ending credits like all other AC games before 🤔
Wait, so your "choices" amount to whether Sigurd returns to England? Why the hell would I care about Sigurd, honestly? I know Eivor has attachment to him, but honestly I didn't like, or care for him all. He was gone for a huge chunk of the story, so why the would I care whether he came back or not? I thought the choices we made had a meaningful impact on the story.
I guess it makes sense, since Ubisoft is technically telling a linear story, so they can't let you have too much impact on the world, but still. So disappointing. I like the game, but these endings are not good in my opinion.
Agreed, the game was seriously short too. People say I'm crazy, but I finished the game in 2 days. I skipped Odyssey, so I'm gonna go back and play that. My friend says its was longer and has a much better ending.
As someone who just got finished the first Norway missions and woke up as Layla I have no idea what's going on here and these comments make no sense but im still watching
Ubisoft is starting to get back on track finally , good job Ubi but enhance your graphics next time.
You do realize that the reason the graphics decline is to keep a steady performance right? Not sure why people are hoked up on that shit.
@@pixelcount350 Others companies demonstrates thay you can have a pretty good story and nice graphics, don't justify Ubi's incompetence, they just want to cash the money.
@@Maurisaw Implying Ubi didn't make a good story and great graphics. The fuck are you talking about right now? You realize how illogical you sound right?
@@pixelcount350 I say that they made a good story but graphics are shit and they know it.
@@Maurisaw Not sure you consider that shit. It's not a last of us but neither are most triple AAA games.
Question, im about to do the very last mission, valka has warned me that when i return my home will not be as when i returned what does she mean by that
Well in order not to spoil I just want to say that wars have consequences.
@@adyqiu8980 yes i get that but i didnt know whether more of the main characters were gunna die or not, ive conpleted the game now lol
@@theingsinator2567 I think that what she was saying is gonna tie more to the DLC than the story rn
@@theingsinator2567 because Alfred will create Templars Order that more dangerous than Orders of the Ancient.
And the real historical said Alfred after the ending in this game, gather the army to war again againts the Dane. So probably, Alfred will also war with Eivor & allies. And from Valka's vision, Raventhorpe will be burn = Alfred do that.
What did you find at Alfred's study ?
Crack, lots of crack.
Oh my godddddd that last part of the video is like the Desmond the descendent of layla
Man I haven’t kept up with AC games but they have gotten so emotionless even tho the old games graphics weren’t as good as these the janky of it just makes the game unpleasing
I always thought the templars were a atheist order being christian in name only guess Altair's codex ironies about the assassins apply to the templars as well
Modern day Templars are atheist. Ancient Templars didn't become atheist until they found the Pieces of Eden, and even then they didn't immediately stop being religious en masse. They continued to claim to be religious to gain funding from the Church.
still i love AC 3 and AC rogue.
Not gonna lie for the epilogue I don’t think the three of them would’ve died if Sigrid would stop sitting on his ass in his bed and his throne and actually helped us
Do you mean sigurd? How, he literally only has one arm lol
Idk how this game ends I've been playing for 2 weeks now 😭
THAT WAS THE ENDING ARE YOU KIDDINGME,I DIDNT KNOW I FINISHED IT
I'm confused af 😂 idk if the assassin's are good or bad anymore from the ending now
They are more the anti hero
I think it depends on perspective, but they were also reformed with altair. I am guessing they are more good than they were.
how exactly do you get the bad ending i punched sigard took his wife and something else but still gave me the good ending
you get 3 strikes so you goota take the cargo in the beginning
5 choices you need to pick the wrong one 3 times so,
-steal the loot from Sigurd’s dad
-don’t give dag his axe
-romance Sigurd’s wife (pre divorce)
-punch Sigurd or Basim in Oxford
-Disagree with Sigurd on his final judging in Ravensthorpe (the one with the boat builder lady and painter)
Idk why you’d want the bad ending though, I like having Sigurd around in the end. It would feel a bit hallow for me if he wasn’t, like trying to free him for half of the game was for nothing. There’s already enough loss for Eivor in the epilogue, no need to add losing Sigurd too.
Crazy theory: But I feel like Sigurd and Eivor will have one last fight, mainly cause of something that the Norn said where he said that Brothers will fight each other
will basim betray william miles?
I'm not sure for now I don't trust him all we know is he's looking for his family but what else does he want he's isu so I can't see him liking human's that much either
I kind of enjoyed the “bad ending” more. Seemed more realistic. Sure, I shagged Sigurd’s boo in the snoo and pissed him off but where was he the entire game except raving like a madman? Eivor deserved Jarldom. But I felt the story became more complete by letting Aelfred live. And that story about Aelfred self-exiling himself to Western Wessex and even getting scolded by the old pauper for burning the bread is a true story in history, so I felt the ending was more historically accurate.
Its like ubisoft asked different people to write a story for them and then they just complied them all lol
22:34 aaahh nothing like a good audio bug to end your game ubi 🤤
What’s the armor during the bad ending ?
Magister Armor
to be honnest it was a hell of a story. but not everybody is a perfectionist that looks to finish literally every activity of the game sooo... most of the people will miss key parts of the plot. i wish they would've been better integrated into the game. i am one of those people, so thanks for the video 😁
I know they just used the same animations but it's so sad when eivor looked down and sigurd was not there
Wasant Halfdan supposed to pop up at the final Battle with your alies?
He sent Eivor’s power couple friends to represent his kingdom. I forgot their names, sorry.
@@craigjacquesaujero3195 oh thanks.
I wish Ubisoft didn't fck over their games, with putting ads into them, or treating their players like crap.
Otherwise I'd still have their launcher and Valhöl still installed on my computer
I finished this game so long ago but I thought there was more to the main quest! I literally have but in 18 hours past returning with Sigurd I was sooo lost because there were no more main missions
Im so confused, because why such an abrupt ending? If pacifying England, killing Basim, and finding out who the grand maegester is, is really the end, then wtf. I’ve pacified England too btw. Besides Sigurd returning or not to England (he didn’t for me), surely there’s gotta be more concerning Valka’s vision for me betraying Sigurd. Where is THAT part of the story? I’m very confused. I’m currently in Asgard as it’s not a required story arc, but I’m curious how I would progress more. This game doesn’t really make it very clear of how to progress towards the “end.”
what a horrendous story what a terrible ending. didn't feel like an ending at all. this game's pacing was brutal.. so many filler arcs. Im so done
Buggiest AC game I ever played...
i was so confused i didnt even think i finished the game when i played it in 2020
Mordern basim looks like Neil drukman.
how on Earth did you beat the game in November when it just came out!
He got it early
It’s sow weird seeing the starting armour in this game because I have different armour
I want to know does sigurd know Eivor is Odin
Its a brilliant ending that ties all the loose ends from previous titles and starts a new thread in the best possible way, fucking genius move.
Excited where it'll go next
Great stuff.
So you are telling me that 116 hours I spent grinding my character to kingdom come, pledging to all those clans and nations, fought a big ass dog, traveled across oceans, climbed my way down to the Earth's core to find a pair of boots and some books, fought a big ass dude then stole his beer, fucked my brother's wife,...
All that, so I could drop my weapon then run away then literally win with the power of fucking friendship so a 2000 years old dude could then take my body? And all the people that I've made friend with didn't even show up at the end? What the fuck?
I could have achieved more spending 116 hours staring at a fucking wall than playing this shit. Holy fuck it's not even the $59.99 that I feel wasted.
I've just finished the game and man it was dragged out, I've played all the assassins creed games and this is the only one that i don't want to go back to and collect everything on the map, after 50 hours of poorly paced campaign I'm done with it I think, hence why i watched this video. Thanks for posting it.
i don't remember getting an ending credits
it doesn't feel like the end when there's no credits ._.)
Isn't it cool how they made the Asgard characters based on the normal charecters
It’s only a bad ending if u see as that, I didn’t like sigurd so I like the choices I made though the story
Everything was great minus the Basim and Layla ending IMO. I was quite perturbed when that played out. Maybe I missed something, don’t think I did but it’s possible. I mean they watched the feed in the animus and saw him go crazy and turn on Eivor and Sigurd. Did they just forget that he went bad guy moments before.
