It's hard to please people,all the people...and to be honest i want a new Prince of Persia but Ubisoft is milking AC. I hope that some day Ubi will make an AC for fans,with templars and stuff but i doubt,cause...they reached Isu as playable setting not just an hologram from the vault in AC2 ending.

IF the story is not believable its for nothing. The latest 3 games were not that bad if they were without the present day stuff and without so many stupid fantasy in them.

[@guitarheroaero3451]

Die-hard AC fan here. After finishing Vahalla I wrote it off as "meh", mostly as a game that is way too long with very little payoff. This video completely flipped my perspective. So much of these Isu metaphors went way over my head. I feel the need to replay it now, knowing how this all ties in.

[@alenko4763]

Judging by all the comments for this video and other "AC Valhalla explained" videos, it seems like so many of you just skipped the Atlantis DLC for Odyssey. Which is a real shame, as there is no other part in the AC series where you get to learn so much about the Isu world, their personalities, how and why they literally created humans and how Adam and Eve escaped, why the artifacts exist... I could go on and on. Everyone is saying "Odyssey didn't add anything to the lore", perhaps not so much the base game. But the Atlantis DLC was fantastic and delved DEEP into Isu lore, there's a lot of resemblence between Atlantis and Asgard. (Makes sense, since they are the same thing just interperted in a "Greek filter" vs. "Norse filter".)

[@Aquafresh.]

@@alenko4763 Asgard and Atlantis are not the same place. Imagine them as cities of different countries back in the Isu time. Same race but not the same people. Mythology arc in Valhalla made it clear trough the Jotunheim-Asgard filter. Odin was a stranger to Jupiter Minerva and Juno.

[@Comuniity_]

Kinda the same but I stopped part way through and recently beat it for the first time and throughout the last like 2 hours or so of game play I kept having to pause so I could process what was going on cause there is so much to Valhallas story you don't know alot of deeper parts of AC lore will just go right over your head. My biggest question at the end of Valhalla is what role will alethia and loki play, both have been shown to be isu that were more favorable towards humans, alethia is who banished Juno snd aita from Atlantis.

[@FallenAngelHiroko]

@@alenko4763 Part of my problem was how disjointed it was. And yes, I played all the DLC and completed both games 100%. With the exception of the Forgotten Saga (and that's because it just came out--or is coming out). Like I would completely forget that this was AC and not some semi-generic RPG until I was reminded to talk to Haytham. And personally feel like the Isu should remained the backdrop rather than coming to the forefront because it undermines the namesake: the CREED in Assassins Creed. Added with the fact that if you removed the Isu and the Assassins/Templar aspect, nothing would have changed in the story. Sigurd would still have left thanks to his dad passing on the crown to Harold. Sigurd would have been kidnapped for other reasons or experience the revelation of how much he sucked as a leader a different way. The big bads just conveniently happen to be OotA. Fulke should have been the "true" Grandmaster or Alfred having a much larger role and motivation in dismantling them. Him being the "twist hero" came out of nowhere. While this video does help secure the strings that was haphazardly woven, it doesn't fix how it's poorly it was handled in the game. I shouldn't have to scour the internet in hopes of it making sense.

Ezio’s character and the moment-to-moment dialogue are a treat, but he overall story really messes up its theme after Ezio kills Vieri. It’s not about a man learning to stop being driven by revenge. It’s a about a man who learns to stop being driven by revenge in the first third of the game, followed by sequence after sequence of well-written busy work, followed by an exceptional twist ending.

WOW. This is mind-blowing. Thanks for the information guys. You really did a great job with us die-hard AC fans finally understanding the game's concept. P.S. This video shows how ubisoft has screwed the last games they released, with making them so over-informing, boring with lots of side-quests that literally do no good to the story, making the player lose track of the main story and the metaphors he/she needs to understand.

[@lukas107]

@@justames5979 oooh thanks but idk i just can't imagine eivor being a she it's kinda weird

[@AoAnli]

I have my own theory as to why Basim never suspected Eivor on top of her being female. First and foremost, the mark Eivor is supposed to have on their neck is hidden by their scar, meaning Basim wouldn't have a reason to suspect they were even a sage at all. But I also have a feeling Basim simply *couldn't* have thought Eivor was Odin bc the way they act towards him and other people is so far off from what Odin would do that he just can't connect the two together Bc if you look at it, Sigurd behaves so much more like Odin than Eivor ever did. He was so convinced that he was the rightful lord of England, to the point where he became irrational and delusional, like how he somehow thought telling Eadwyn (Oxenefordscire arc) to "kiss his lordly feet" wouldn't backfire on him immediately. Sigurd lost sight of what he used to care about, aka his clan, and jeopardized both his relationship with Eivor and his clan by putting his own megalomania at the top of his priorities This parallels Odin being ready to bargain his marriage with Freyja to get what he wanted out of the Builder (which Freyja got rightfully mad at him for) and him letting Tyr putting up his arm as a gage knowing fully well what would happen. He's even ready to sacrifice his own eye to achieve his goals There's also the fact that out of Eivor and Sigurd, Eivor ended up being the most welcoming out of the two. Even if they went through a rough patch with Basim until Cent arc, when Basim thanked them for always being nice to Hytham, Eivor replied that both he and Hytham would always be welcome and at home within their clan despite them both being outsiders (just like Loki was), something Odin obviously never did and never would've done Idk. I feel like all of this adds up but maybe that's just me

[@viktorias9]

I think one more thing: Female Eivor is canon so Basim/Loki wouldnt have gussed Odin reborn as a Female

[@Legacysong2012]

I kinda hated the part with the builder. Freya should have different reactions, like understandable she would be mad, but there should be some level of recognition in her if you choose the “that is her choice” option. That is what I chose, because just like it isn’t my right to agree to the terms, it also is not my right to deny the terms. That is literally a decision that she would have to make, which is why I chose that option, and yet she reacts as if I had agreed to the terms anyway

[@AoAnli]

@@Legacysong2012 Yeah I agree with you on that. I love Valhalla but there are some parts that just feel like the writers tried to rush through it bc they were getting bored of their own work or something like that. Asgard (part 1 specifically, I don’t really have any big issue with the Jotunheim bit) is definitely part of those imo, which is a shame bc I feel like it should’ve been the most important arc in the story so we can understand Basim/Loki’s motives more clearly. Unfortunately most of the characters in the Asgard arc feel a bit too 2-dimensional for you to connect with them and it’s really a shame If the entire game was written the same way the campfire scene™ was, it would’ve been close to a masterpiece

It’s weird cause I played As female Eivor and y’all refer to Eivor as he and canonically Eivor is a female while the male counter part is Odin hence why they use the same voice actor and why it’s canon if you “let the animus choose” but yes it is sad Eivor will never know she was a reincarnation of Odin, and I wonder what would happen if Odin took over like Basiim/ Loki and I wonder how long he’s been self aware already or just Loki made a fake name for himself and made up his whole personality for that world but if that’s the case why didn’t any other reincarnation become self aware?

[@skippyboxford]

So the origin of the templars believed in the isu, then the new version of the templars from altair era, belive there following the father of understanding, basically God, the way king Alfred wanted, so did the templars and the assassin's just forget about the isu until modern times when religion wasn't as strong?

[@AdityaSathya]

No. The Order of ancients were obsessed but Alfred reformed and changed the order. The Templars thought of using these first civ artefacts to further their own purpose but they never believed the isu to be the lord incarnate like OOTA did. Eventually, corruption started to seep into the order and alfred's strong ideals began to fall into the background.

[@countpicula]

Nah the writers are just bad at writing. Fans of games need to learn game devs historically don’t make great stories. It’s just a poor retcon after the terrible missteps the last few games have made.

[@serronserron1320]

@@AdityaSathya Also the father of understanding was just a analogy that the Templar cult used to describe their own potential, as they believed that they were gods.

[@serronserron1320]

@@countpicula Yes all this is is filling for the numerous plot holes that the series has created throughout the games.

[@merus9220]

The order of the ancient believed in the Isu. After Eivor killing most of the members in England and helping King Aelfred, Aelfred reformed the order with his ideal and vision, and that led to the order of the ancient becoming what we know today as The templars. With time, Templars forgot Aelfred ways and corruption started to rise when they began to discover the Isu artifacts and use them to fulfill they’re visions of order for the world. A very few group of people knew about the Isu. I don’t remember if the Hidden Ones knew about the Isu, but from what i know, The order of the ancient were the only ones who knew about the Isu and their stuff. The order of the ancient after being reformed by aelfred forgot the Isu and believed in the father of understanding (Possibly Odin, but that’s a theory or story for another moment). Just like de Norse and Danes, they portrayed the story of the Isu as Norse Mythology believing the sages as Gods, Templars began to believe in a God, the father of understanding and forgot about the Isu.

Great explanations, great research, great video production quality. The blending of all those quotes from so many of the games...wow. Going to bookmark this in my browser (does anyone do that anymore??) so I can come back and watch it every time I need an AC fix. It's like an adrenaline injection into the bloodstream. THANK-YOU! Also, wow, I had pieced together a lot of this, but wow. Still in awe of all the different threads from many games that you pulled together to make such a great tapestry. Bravo!

Dude I got chills when that montage at the end began with how eivor played apart in kick staring the Templar order and how bayeks idea of the hidden ones died with him and how it birthed the assassins brotherhood that was beautiful

[@kniter]

What an amazing video, Valhalla is my first AC game since Black flag, so this was amazing

[@spitzerrex1360]

This video is such a big help to AC fans who love to play the game and understand what truly is the purpose of the assassins & their origin. it described the history & connected everything from the start to the end. Even telling that the founder of the order of the ancient is indeed King Aelfred in AC Valhalla. but AC Valhalla takes place years after AC Origins, in which Bayak is the true founder of the brotherhood but it was forgotten as well as the order of the ancient, but everything was founded again in the timeline of Altair. Your Video is a big help to new fans playing this game & to old ones having difficulty understanding the relations. BIG THUMBS UP FROM ME ❤👍

[@pierre-olivierjanelle3413]

This a great video. You went in great detail to tie everything together. I has missed some aspect of the story and this video was the perfect recap of where it came from to where this is going. I played the game continuously telling myself Eivor is not an assassin, by previous game standard and now using the knowledge gain from seeing the totality of the story so far it makes more sense. Thank you.

I never understood why AC fans were so harsh on Ubi. They have to walk a tightrope between staying true to the lore and reinventing itself and I think they’ve done a great job. They put so much more into these games than people give them credit for. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla have been some of my favorite gaming experiences of the last 10 years.

Awesome video. I would like to point out that the thing that was trying to destroy the Earth in Valhalla wasn't aurora borealis but Earth's magnetic field which was strengthened by Desmond in 2012. Aurora borealis is just symptom. And I have to praise that cut at the ending of video. It's really great how you put ending of video in context of whole series.

[@nickgennady]

True that is how the science works anyway.

[@alenko4763]

I would like to point out in that case that you are wrong too. What does that even mean "the Earth's magnetic field destroyed the Earth"??? It was a coronal mass ejection that was supposed to destroy the earth (solar flares basically, look it up on wikipedia). The earths magnetic field is what's protecting us from these flares happening all the time in real life, except if a particularly large ejection happens. (Like in 2012, or when the Isu got wiped out)

[@brodysdaddy]

These game journalists condemning this game for being "bloated"...are just mad because they can't finish it in a weekend and write up their snarky, probably politicized review. Meanwhile they are TOTALLY ignoring the ongoing saga that is stretching forwards and back through generations of games. The overarching story of Assassins Creed is remarkable, and the work and effort that has been put into it deserves more than bashing through the game over a couple of days....

[@thehonkerman]

Dude the game is way longer than it needs to be, progression is both way too easy and way too drawn out meaning your character is over-leveled for half the game with under-leveled armour unless you go around looting every chest further extending the game. It's fun and the main story is super entertaining but the whole game takes so long to actually get to the point it's hard to stick with it.

Look, i appreciate the homage to the old ACs that can be seen in Valhalla. That said, you can't rebuild a series over a pile of trash. AC died in 2012 because money was more important than making a meaningful product, what i would have called art. They should let AC die in peace, every new game is just sad to look at.
