Assassins Creed Mirage Ending Explained! (AC Mirage Ending Fully Explained)

[@_Wizzo]

A new Assassins Creed, Codenamed "RED" is now in production! Here are the details - kzbin.infoUpy8GOF_pQ0?si=eETwz0LyQZ_EPHkZ

[@memesnahgee5259]

I just felt sad for Basim at the end of it all. The two mixing into one was supposed to be them merging, I believe, but I think in the end Loki ended up just outweighing him. The way he mocking laid “Mentor” after just talking about all he had given for the Creed, how his bird rejected him, it felt like Basim was gone.

[@Ozzie_Mandias]

I am actually happy that Basim is erased from existence... I now know I was never a fan of Baism, I was a fan of Loki inhabiting Basim's body. The charm and wit which made me fall in love with the character in Valhalla was Loki, not Basim.

[@sicutestunda]

Yeah, I wish they'd just completed each other. But the "mentor", the bird scratch, Roshan losing him just like she feared, not to mention Basim's smirk when Enkidu scratched him, it all broke my heart. He said his jinni wanted revenge but he himself just wants peace. But then, at the end, he pretty much swore vengeance on those who imprisoned him. This was sad af.

[@MichaelGriffin-wv5tx]

Their the same person he just got his old memories back.

[@deanbrayzee9297]

It was Loki that wanted revenge I think he was on about Odin and anyone els that did him wrong or gets in is way it wasn’t Basim saying he wants revenge at end that was all Loki like we know is eagle didn’t recognise him but gotta say wow wow wow wot an ending creed fam

[@WolfDarkrose]

during the murging. the jinni was basim but it was the part that was nehal... he let go of of the jinni aka nehal. the tricker god that joki is took the form of nehal in his mind and when they merged it wasnt nehal his other half it was the purest form of loki. sadly in the end nehal wasnt basims others half it was loki tricking him froim the start and making basim other half the jinni.

[@Agent_3141]

This game broke my heart. I really liked Basim, his personality, his empathy for others. I knew he would be gone by the end of the game, but it still saddens me that he's dead, and now Loki has full control

[@MrHazz111]

To enjoy 90% of the game you don’t need Valhalla, but that last 10% is special only to those who know what happened in Valhalla and how Basim/Loki is now our protagonist in the modern day

[@trevorsmith572]

Funny you say that. If you listen to the dialogue of Hostile NPCs they yell the word “Again” eerily similar to how Reznov saids it in World At War

[@ScarFaceAzra]

IGN gave some clarity that when nehzal (Loki) fused with basim he technically fused his memories into basim so he can be fully reincarnated he took his mind but it’s still basims body ofc and that’s why his bird rejected Basim because it’s not him no more it’s Loki and when he technically says that he’s gonna crush everyone in his way and he’s come to terms with his past (the events that happened to Loki the torture the imprisonment etc) and he can’t wait for their reunion he is talking about the start of the adventure towards Valhalla which is years later. When he decides to go after the reincarnation of Odin. Who sentenced Loki to the binding in greek mythology terms for killing baldr which im guessing it didn’t happen in the dlc so I’m just guessing on that because I don’t remember the dlc much but it did happen behind closed doors if that’s the case because if you remember Loki escaped his prison before the first calamity and killed heimdall and then put the mask so he can be reincarnated so boom which starts Mirage many years after that. Then Valhalla. All I see is people complaining but not putting the pieces together this has been assassins creed for ages it’s a WHOLE PUZZLE and if it doesn’t make sense you gotta try and figure it out that’s an AC game and I’m disappointed in my fellow OG fans because y’all should know this by now they are not gonna give you the answers on a silver platter.. you gotta put it together put the events in order and make sense of what’s going on. it’s not a standalone game it’s part of the time line and it connects with the main story and they clearly put it in our face.

[@DudeLucid]

Just to correct something in your comment, Basim is still in control, not Loki. During the final chapter quest in Valhalla, Basim mentions how he came to terms with Loki and that they had a common goal.

[@ChaosForU]

so many people complaining about the game. saying the story was mid is bs, the story was amazing too me. the game mechanics were a bit iffy but felt like og assasins creed so I'm not complaining. overall this game is definitely underrated. people hating on it way too much when its actually really great to be back in the og mechanics of AC

[@BobanX1]

@Nathanielovehate just finished the game main story with a few contracts and map completion stuff overall im happy with the story it made all sense if u paid attention to the cinematics and cutscenes but i just wasnt happy for the size of the game it felt kinda small compared to its predecessors but ubisoft said they arent doing the rpg style anymore so i cant say they didnt kept their promise for me its an 8/10 just wished there were more things to do outside the main city the other smaller towns had almost nothing to do in them

[@nerfdis5369]

Thank you for this I was a little confused on where the pieces needed to go I just finished the story after 100% everything else and I loved I have no idea why people are complaining it is small yes but they also charged way less for it. I am so happy we are going back to og AC gameplay I missed all so much the last 3 games weren't terrible but to me they weren't assassin creed games I get they wanted to try something new to reach to different audiences but this gameplay was way more fun I hope they focus more on stealth in future games and just stay with one weapon that we upgrade. Overall this game was a massive step in the right direction and I can't wait to see what the next full game holds.

[@willtopping1682]

Wasn’t it described as a cell and didn’t Odin inprison Loki for killing Baldr in Dawn of Ragnarok

[@sriramvarma1118]

Loki doesn't hate Odin because Odin tortures him. That came after Baldr's death (and Loki knew that would provoke Odin). He hates Odin because Odin killed his son (but they didn't mention how in AC). The torture came after Loki kills baldr in retaliation. But there was no mention of Loki's son. Moreover, in the end, he said he beat his jinni and came to terms with his past. If that was really so, why even go to Europe and try to kill eivor? This game made no sense and skipped many crucial moments. Definitely disappointed in this (and I'm an OG fan that played ALL the assassin's creed games)

[@ary_o_]

@@sriramvarma1118 loki's son is fenrir, who odin kills in asgard stroyline in valhalla. i think his jinni was odin, he beat him and came in terms with loki ( his past ) . now basim and loki are bound together hence why enkidu scrates basim because its not him alone. He goes to europe to find odin's incarnation which i think at first he thoughts is sigurd which explains why he was hyping him through out whole valhalla but in the end it turns out to be evior. On the other side evior im not sure but he refuses to bind with odin and live out his life as his own which i dont remember much but we see in the end off valhalla. Basim/loki made a bond with evior hence why he wanted to see what happens to evior after he refuses to merge with odin. Evior and Basim are both incarnation of odin and loki, the only diff is basim merges with loki but evior dosent with odin. I think its william miles playing basim in mirage to know his life and know who he is in the present. i might be wrong about all this but idk, maybe a dlc for mirage will clear things up

[@lukage2531]

@@ary_o_ You got everything right

[@akifullgames37]

@@ary_o_ Everything you said is right, Basim came to Europe with Sigurd thinking he was Odin because of his visions, he eventually learns that Sigurd isn't Odin, but instead Eivor is, he tries to kill him but gets imprisoned in Yggdrasil, thru Origins Odyssey, Valhalla he lures Layla to get the staff of hermes and go to Yggdrasil and unleash him, he gets released and using the staff survives, we know that staff holds Alethea who is Decastees of Atlantis and Loki's lover with who he made Fenrir etc. He swears he will find and unleash their children at the end of Valhalla. In Mirage we see him being guided with Loki (Nehal) who is in his head as an imaginary friend. At the end Loki brings him to his prison where he was locked up by Odin after poisoning Baldr. Basim unleashes him and accepts him to become one.

You don’t understand something. He never was another person neither Loki’s soul got through Basim’s. He just remembered who he was. It’s like you are yourself but the fullest version of you that have lived centuries with full experience and knowledge and memories. That’s why the eagle didn’t recognise him. Because he was he but with all the memories that make him a whole different person because of his wisdom that can also make him a little bit arrogant…..

[@deimosok2003]

@@BlackAdam10 Why did Odin beg Eivor to accept him then? Eivor refused him and instead used Odin as a source of knowledge.

[@BlackAdam10]

@@deimosok2003 because he didn’t want all the memories that he had from the past change his character. He didn’t want to have different purpose in his life from another timeline. Basim from the other side didn’t have a meaning in his life, he felt empty. That’s why he accepted Loki so easily. That’s my explanation. Eivor had many friends, a city the he had to protect. A life that made him happy.

[@kbhalacy]

I wanna know more about Loki's kid that we always hear about. It can't look like a wolf.... Could have done a midcredits scene where Basim meets Sigurd in Constantinople Itll be interesting in the modern day storyline. I like Loki's character although i still have trust issues with him.

Hey you got it confused they didn’t transfer their consciousness but their memories , basim even states this in the beginning of Valhallas last chapters basim is still basim he is just acting on lokis memories.

[@Madridy1996]

“ I will never see you again, will I? Will I be alone?” That scene broke my heart, even though he discovered the truth about his true self he still clings to the illusion (Mirage) of his best friend who kept him company in all his years living alone. He understands that “she” will be with him in his inner consciousness yet still resists the fact of not physically be with her.

[@ikennaonyegbula6062]

Thank you! I enjoyed the game but was a bit confused by the ending as I played through it. This explanation covers it completely! Wonderful game! The story, now that I understand what happened at the end, is one of my favorite AC stories as a story. What I maybe criticise is the way they unfolded the story, where parts of it seemed rushed or just crammed into a much shorter game time. I think a slightly longer drawing out of the story to let it breathe or more varied side content would have made the game absolutely perfect. 8.5/10 for me.

[@jaustoncarter8995]

My biggest question is why did it seem like Basim let Loki take over??? You would think he would fight back or resist like Evior did with Odin but it seems like Basim accepted this and let Loki take full control. And is Basim gone forever or is he in there somewhere still?? I'm sorry but if I was Basim I would try my best to not let that happen. Me and Loki can share memories or whatever but I'm not finna just let him take over my body and live my life. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@freakmix2045]

Loki takes over because Loki is already somewhat a part of Basim. It’s the reason why he has those nightmares of the Jinni who is supposed to be Eivor but because Basim doesn’t know Eivor, he instead just sees a Jinni as that’s what if I’m correct Muslims believe in. So after Basim sees it was him being tortured in the hologram, he understands the Jinni is nothing more than memories so to stop those nightmares and visions, Basim had to make peace with those memories and since Nehal is a representation of Loki’s consciousness, they intertwine and Loki takes over. Basim doesn’t completely have a choice because since he doesn’t know the context of those nightmares, he just wanted them to end no matter what. I hope this helps 👍

[@jaustoncarter8995]

@@freakmix2045 I understand alot more now. It's honestly sad tho because yeah the nightmares are gone but Basim also lost himself in the process. I wonder if Basim is still in there somewhere or Loki took over completely and Basim is gone forever. I see why Roshan was tryna stop Basim from finding out the truth. She was trying to save him so he wouldn't lose himself. And I understand why she left the Assassin's. Because she trained and had a bond/friendship with Basim, not Loki. To me it all seemed like a trick by Loki so he can control. And honestly it was a smart move from Loki by disguising himself as Nehal. If Loki would've talked to Basim as himself then Basim wouldn't have trusted him right away.

[@freakmix2045]

@@jaustoncarter8995 yes and when Odin tried a similar thing with Eivor, he got rejected

[@jaustoncarter8995]

@@freakmix2045 Very true but Odin actually approached Evior as himself. Maybe because Odin can't disguise himself like Loki can. Just imagine if he did. He would've convinced Evior to let go just like Loki did with Basim. Good thing that didn't happen but I still feel bad for Basim tho. In my opinion Mirage had a good story but sad ending. Kinda like Basim died in a way. If that makes sense. ☹️

[@damienb6857]

Odin is what the loki side of bassim sees as the Jinni. Also most likely who pulled him out of the machine in the recording on the isu disk. The tormentor and thing he fears and hates most. And ofc after being freed he would relish in the fact that he finds odin once again to settle the score

[@oskarkmieciak1834]

In my opinion the ending is actually sad, Basim was living with Loki's subconsciousness as his friend and the side he kept at bay only to find out that Nehal was only "A part of his reality". Also I think that after Loki got in the reincarnation chamber, killed the one guy as seen in Valhalla he got imprisoned in the "coffin" from the ending of Mirage by, MAYBE Tyr and later got killed by, I THINK Odin as this would make sense to why he wanted to kill Eivor and Sigurd in Valhalla. What are your thoughts on this theory? (Sorry for bad grammar, I'm from Poland)

[@MrGreyManta]

it does seems logical . The Beauty of AC games is that they always leave us with more questions than answers

[@matthewmartinez9835]

He killed heimdall also I don’t think he got killed by Odin and tyr because we saw tyr and Odin imprison lokis son Fenrir

[@ItzDylanM]

I love norse mythology etc but i hate how they made all this about norse gods... i miss the desmond days

[@mathijsrikken]

Lol in the desmond days they just focused on gods from another culture, the Roman gods. Jupiter, Minerva and Juno are all Roman gods. So, the thought that all of the gods from all cultures were an isu is very profound. As far as we know now, the Roman gods, Greek gods and Norse gods were Isu, however probably there are more.

[@ItzDylanM]

@mathijsrikken I understand that, if the latest ones was done as well I don't think I'd mind too much... but they feel forced to add a different culture to the franchise

[@mathijsrikken]

@@ItzDylanM I agree that the Roman Isu were the best worked out, and at first I didn't like the Norse god stuff either, but remember probably all those gods lived together, and only later humans started worhsipping some of them in different cultures.

[@jman3081]

This is just a theory it probably don't make much sense but.....could it be that the sarcophagus is actually a type of Animus? Perhaps basim was in the Animus the whole time and the whole game is just his memories and the assassins put him in it to help him understand why the jinn was haunting him and in the Animus is where he discovers the truth about his past life as loki. I know this theory doesn't make a lot of sense because when he came out Roshan is still there but when he saw nehal in the machine she was locked in almost like a test subject and after they merge basim gasps as if he exited the simulation and finally when he comes out he's like how long has it been and there are assassin's waiting on him and one of the assassins looks like hytham but one of the side missions you actually have the opportunity to meet hytham but he's only like 10 years old at the time

[@SnakeOfficial]

Any informations about Roshan? didn't we met her in Valhalla? what did she do? followed Basim? she left the Creed?

[@indedgames4359]

The Maschine is not the Ygridsal. That is the Maschine at the end of valhalle. The New Maschine is more a Prision for torture. In mythology Loki was traped and tortured. That is what this Maschin is

[@stormy92]

Especially after black flag, and even more now, i want an assassins creed game primarily set in the isu era so we can see how all this palyed out instead of the bits and pieces we've seen and have been told. Odyssey and Valhalla kinda scratched that itch since you got to see part of their story told through the lense of greek and norse mythology, but with us now having a player character thats a sage (based on what they are called in black flag), i feel its needed more to clear up some of these questions

[@LuisDavila-ol7rr]

[@coachmel2404]

I'm on my second playthrough to pick up the pieces on how everything is Basim's doing and Nehal is just a figure in his mind. And what I found is that Nehal (Loki) didn't even remember bout the ISU stuff until Basim touch the artifact. I think its because of the moment during Ragnarok, Loki forced himself into the Idrisil (the super computer) by killing one of the member and I think it distrupts the transfer so it make the incarnated Loki (Nehal) kinda forget the reason why she's being reincarnated. So after Basim went to Alamut to be initiated as a Hidden Ones, there is this kind of barrier where it separates Basim, The Djin and Nehal. Maybe bcuz of the Chamber below the Alamut Temple it distrupts the connection with Loki. (I might be wrong on this) And after Basim went back to Baghdad and meet Nehal, she's being guiding Basim to search for Answers bout the ISU, answers that is not for him but for HER. Basim helping Nehal to uncover the real secrets and slowly Nehal remember the things happen tk her subconsciously. One of it was when they are at the ISU Chamber and there is this weird interaction between Basim and Nehal where she said "I do" and "I remember" making Basim freak out. And finally in the end when Basim said "will I ever see you again" is indicating that Basim surrenders his body fully to Nehal and Killing him in the process. Nehal seem so pure Innocent during this scene maybe bcuz she want to take control without force. Unlike Eivor, Odin forces himself to control and influence Eivor. "How long has it been" is the first words of reincarnated Loki.

It's so sad that Enkidu rejects and abandons Basim once he merges with Loki's consciousness.

[@lesliekilgore648]

i think the jinni and Nehal are one and the same thing. look at the jinni's clothing, the rags and ESPECIALLY the headband/head-covering. now, look at Nehal's character designs. if we're thinking Loki was Nehal then the jinni was Loki as well. probably trying to connect with Basim who had juuust enough Isu DNA to support Loki and give him a form of his former power and lifespan as an Isu. of course, we're familiar with the Isu third strand of DNA all the AC games have been hinting at since game 1 back in 2007. i think Basim was merely one of the DESCENDANTS of human/Isu hybrid kids on Earth that survived the FIRST Coronal Mass event. Basim's nightmares and hallucinations of Nehal were merely a byproduct of Loki/Nehal's influence trying to steer Basim towards Loki's prison in Alamut. my theory is that Loki/Nehal may have put some of his consciousness inside his prison cell's Isu technology. therefore, the guard that Basim mistakes as the jinni killing him/Nehal/Loki was actually PREVENTING Loki from completing the same TWO consciousness transfers that Juno successfully completed. this is supported by the following bits of Isu lore Wizzo left out. the Isu Juno remained in the Grand Temple with Jupiter and Minerva to sort through the possible solutions to the First Coronal Mass event and test those that they found encouraging. they evaluated six in succession, finding each progressively more promising but all were ultimately dead ends. one of the Grand Experiments the Isu performed to hopefully survive the 1st Coronal Mass event was to transfer their minds into synthetic/android bodies, this one was a failure. Juno secretly devised another plan to digitize the Isu minds so their consciousnesses would survive in the underground Temples scattered around the world. the Temples are connected by a 'computer network' mentioned as Yggdrasil in this video. Juno stuck HERSELF into the central Grand Temple in New York State that Desmond Miles et. al. in AC 2-4 discovered, repaired, and released her into the internet as a result of ANOTHER Great Experiment device the Isu developed. this one Desmond sacrifices his life to activate, the Global Aurora Borealis Device. the Isu plan thousands upon thousands of years ago was the GABD would deploy a planetary magnetic shield that would deflect the Solar flare. however, there was neither the time to build the GABD nor the power needed to use it before the FIRST Coronal Mass Ejection event, and so it was abandoned. however, an automated construction process was used to build the Towers that would eventually see the NY State Grand Temple connected with the Towers and the entire GABD was completed and activated by the time of the Second Disaster in 2012. so, Loki put some of his mind into his prison cell and completed (PERHAPS partially) Juno's first Great Experiment and then transferred his mind into Basim completing Juno's second Great Experiment.

[@ezrahollow3662]

I truly loved the games. Despite what others say, I'm obsessed with Valhalla (mostly for Basim and Hytham....Haytham Kenway's namesake). I think Basim is a great "protagonist" but he's a far better villain in my opinion. His character blurs the lines between good and evil. He's not a bad dude. He just wanted revenge and he got it. WHAT I HATE. Is Valhalla takes Norse faith (I'm a norse pagan) and skews it. Odin and Loki were technically brothers but most of that crap never happened in the eddas. They just took what they liked and made it their own. Great story but kinda disrespectful. Anyways...I really loved the game. It brought back my favourite things about the colonial games and Unity/Syndicate and meshed them with the modern story. Now, can we just skip the japan one and go straight to Hexe?

I am only confused about one thing...I understand that mythologies of different countries is not what really happened with Isu or related to real life locations, but still I find it confusing how Eastern and Scandinavian myths and places here mix together. Why "Tree of Life" machine is in Scandinavia and "Prison cell" machine is located thousands of miles away somewhere in East in real life?

So Nehel is basically Cupid Me from South Park?

Well yeah.. considering basim is a new assassin here

[@zenthegeneral]

My question now is: wtf does Basim want. He escaped death multiple times, got his (imo, needless) revenge, outlived most of his Isu god rivals and their reincarnations, and is now living as an "Assassin" in modern day What's his M.O? Tbh the whole of Valhalla, and Mirage is one elaborate revenge plot with the Isu, and not really anything to do with the Assassins and Templar struggle I'm wondering Basim's future role in the Assassins, and how he operates with the others, William Miles assassin cell etc Guess we'll just have to wait for AC Japan, but I have no idea where the whole Assassins v Templar plot is at anymore. You think they would just team up and take out the Isu, they seem to be the real masterminds and anti-human

@_Wizzo so loki was reincarnated as basim but basim didn't know the truth he was just haunted by the jinn which was loki trying to get basim to the right place to learn who he is?

[@MythicalSkull13]

@@jman3081from what I’ve seen others say, I think this is almost the case. Idk for sure but: Basim is the reincarnation of Loki, and what happened to Loki in the past is represented as the Jinni in Basims dream (basically haunted by what happened in his past life but can’t remember the details). Nehal is a part of Basim that’s also sort of locked away in his mind and I’ve seen people say she is Loki guiding Basim (Loki using his shapeshifting ability to talk to Basim, like Odin did with Eivor but without the ability to hide his true self) I’m probably wrong because every year I forget the AC lore lol

[@angeleduardo2224]

So basically You are right but the only thing your missing is that evior is the jinni and that's why basim wanted to kill evior at the end of Valhalla and I think basim is still basim but his old self is still there that's why his eagle dint recognize him so I don't know if this is true but this is the theory

First fans have wanted an original game. I absolutely love the epic new games: Odyssey, Origins, and Valhalla. I started with AC3. I don’t miss the clunking around. The parkour was fun but I don’t like being forced to do it. This dlc for Valhalla became a game. It feels like the interns did it. Given that Basim reps the Sage too, it could have been another epic albeit nostalgic clunker. The combat is meaningless. Just assassinate. Great recap!! Should have started with that. Excellent cliff notes. Thank you.

In Norse mythology, Loki did something so offensive that the gods imprisoned him and tied him down.

Androboda, his wife, held the bowl to catch the venom, but had to empty the bowl out. Anyway, I believe Ubisoft used this myth as a reference for the game.

I feel like this story didn't progress the main story at all... this is just prequel, and for someone who wants to know more about the present day Basim, and the present day Assassins, this story feels like a waste to be told as "the next big AC game" format, they could easily put this story in smaller AC projects similar to AC China, India, and Rusia. Gameplaywise sure they brought back some of the older elements, it's a mix between old and new AC games, and I enjoyed that aspect. But storywise it's rather pointless because it's going nowhere. Heck even the Prequel trilogy (Origin, Odyssey, Valhalla) takes us forward in terms of present day story, in fact I'm intrigued by the continuation, it just baffles me that we had to wait another YEARS to know what happened after AC Valhalla.

bro i finished valhalla for second time and mirage now and makes no sense, i want the valhalla basim story not this

[@thesunisup_]

So what Loki says in Isu language is literally what Nehal says when Basim sees her inside of the machine which is “Enough! Let me out of here!”. Also the “coffin” that you discover is not Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil is what you can see Isu using in Valhalla to pass down their genetic codes to humanity to be reborn, also the device you see Layla discover in the temple at the end, the coffin is most likely just a cage or a torture device for Loki. There was nothing inside at the time Basim has opened it, it only served as yet another trigger for Loki’s repressed memories which he finally embraced thus got fully reborn as opposed to Eivor in Valhalla who resisted Odin’s attemts to take over.

[@Dani741]

Yep the end make sense if u have played Valhalla because this was orginally a DLC for it so a background story for Loki ...i like the fact that with this one they are back on the root with the ISu and that story .....and for sure the pure stealth combat was needed misse it alot from the original ones
