Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Tombs of the Fallen Analysis - Part 1 (Britons, Romans, Vikings, Isu)

[@jeremyprinzen5954]

This activity was quite enjoyable - it reminded me of the various Assassin Tombs we've found in AC II, Brotherhood, and Revelation. The mystery also behind the door is pretty cool too; I didn't even consider the fact that these four locations might just be located to what Loki has been looking for now

[@AccessAnimus]

It did remind me of the Tombs from AC2 and a bit of those from Origins too :) And yeah, lots of theories can stem from the few things we mentioned in this vide, we're going to talk about those in the next one! - Markuz

But I can't seem to find it, can u tag me or inbox it to me or something plz? Cos I'm confused I thought angrbodas mum was Juno, and angrboda is Alethia, but the norse word for Alethia is Angrboda, so is her mum Juno? I'm confused. Cos Alethia and Juno are different people aren't they? I'm massively confused 😆

The hole/ closed door sure looks like minotaurs temple entrance. My bet is That there is either a dragon, Fenrir or a unknown Olympus project creature trapped there

At least its revaled How its possible tô see Roman architecture inside the odins eye Chamber, ravensthorp Roman ruins must bê the ancient manius facility, and he descover odins eye Chamber as well, but instead put traps inside of It, he decided tô burry the entrance

[@Garr3tth]

@13:30 Actually given what we know (1. genetic memory; 2. cyclical sagelike reincarnation) they have been memories of these characters from other odin reincarnations, with no isu database or message required. More specifically the contents of the hallucinogenic messages could come from eivor/odin's own subconscious mind.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos ! Always so detailed 👀🙏🏼

I enjoyed this update and the stream I now look forward to part 2 of this tomb update 👍👍 I also guessed that there would be a video on this 👍👍

[@khathunbee724]

I really got my memories of playing AC 2 tombs back from this DLC but this is no way the same as the tombs in AC 2. Although they had the parkour mechanics and all else, they couldn't give me the same feeling I felt when playing Assassin's tombs. Well good try Ubisoft. Anyway can't wait for the ISU video 😊😊

[@killuazoldyck7597]

Honestly, I was a bit iffy on the fact that the tombs were made by the Isu, despite the fact that they're the only ones it could have been. To my knowledge, we've never seen any Isu structures that have appeared to be this worn down, or that use a blue light accent rather than yellow or white. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the next part of the Tombs of the Fallen, because maybe there will be a twist of sorts in it. Good video as always though, very much looking forward to the next part of it.

[@valtontony826]

Have you not played assassin's creed 3, black flag, rogue, unity, origins, odyssey? Most of the isu architecture in assassin's creed games have looked similar.

[@killuazoldyck7597]

@@valtontony826 I've played every main game, in fact, though it's been a while for some of them. From what I recall, the majority of the Isu technology was mostly well preserved, with things being more broken than worn down, and having yellowish/white accents rather than blue. I also didn't state that any of what I said were pure facts, so I may be wrong about it.

[@craftingranger7552]

@@killuazoldyck7597 I think the sites that need pieces of Eden have yellow accents while the others have blue ones(observatory, simulation device and Atlantis)

[@mathieuboisville2744]

Great video Markuz and your team ! But don't you think that the "Tombs of the Fallen" activity will be done in several times and that Ubisoft will make updates as we go along, all this to introduce the next big DLC on Odin next year ? (with the kingdom of Svartalfheim,...) I think we'll have to go to other temples with Odin's runes and that after a while it will allow an opening of the "great" temple's door and the beginning of the DLC with Odin. Also, don't you think that the activity "Tombs of the Fallen" have some connection with the encounter (according to the leaked script lines) between Eivor and Caesarion, which should happen by the end of the year? Also, can we see a parallel with a upcoming mission, where Eivor meets Kassandra? But I'm not so sure about that. Best, Mathieu, modo of AC French wiki.

[@Shadowpack95]

still havent finished the mastery challenges, just cant complete the last 2 for gold

[@MamboCat84]

I really liked these areas, they were very old school Tomb Raider xD I'm also a bit frustrated they do nothing with the main door, and there don't appear to be any further markings suggesting more in the England map. The floor looks like it could open though. Is it likely there will be more tombs revealed with the next DLC? You mentioned seeing markings in the Ireland maps?

[@xcrackajack4644]

Maybe the caverns purpose as isu prisons for beasts or men is a reference for fenrir thats where my mind went also the first tomb making animals go crazy could have helped in imprisoning them and the first tomb does look similar to mimirs well I enjoyed the tomb exploring though shall be interesting to see where the story leads

[@Shadowpack95]

I wonder what that Isu vault in the first tomb is? Looks kind of like a seal to keep something contained

[@1DeeThunder]

With the new update that they finally took long with the final tombs the story went a bit weird I guess to say with those who betrayed Briton and sided with Roman’s on their pov.

[@Skully_14]

I enjoyed the tombs, though I am disappointed by the abrupt ending. That big door doesn’t open, or do anything? It’s a shame! But since this content is free I suppose it’s ultimately okay.

[@rohit_parashar]

I really liked the tombs of the fallen, though Valhalla's parkour didn't do it justice. I don't how to feel about those cutscenes, I guess it's fine cause it's made by piece of eden (?) Also it is very much likely that Mercury is Roman interpretation of Odin, as seen in real life when Tacitus recorded his work in Germania I think.

[@Ludohistory]

While you're right that it is almost certainly referring to the Interpretatio romanae of Odin to Mercury, it's very, very worth noting that there isn't actually a lot of contemporary evidence to say that Tacitus' Mercury (and presumably, therefore, other 1st century Romans' Norther European Mercury) is actually Odin! Tacitus doesn't say what this southern Germanic people called their gods, it's not clear that he knew or cared that the information he gave was right, and "Odin" as we know him doesn't even seem to have emerged much before the 7th or 8th century CE (when Gotlandic picture stones start showing scenes identifiable as "Norse mythology").

[@rohit_parashar]

@@Ludohistory Many historians believe that Tacitus equated Mercury to the Germanic God Woden who would eventually become Odin. Tacitus did so, as per the Historians, because Woden's Day and Mercury's Day fall on the same day, and both are trickster gods.

[@Ludohistory]

@@rohit_parashar Your information is 20 years out of date. The equating of Mercury to Odin starts with Jakob Grimm, but gets really cemented by de Vries and Dumezil in the 1940s and 50s. That was the dominant idea until 1998, when Ton Derks pretty thoroughly showed that there is no evidence of the "Germanic gods" being worshipped along the Rhine in Tacitus' time at all. Studies by people like Philip Shaw since them have consistently confirmed this and further thrown Tacitus' account into question, and so no top scholar in the field these days would say that Tacitus is actually referring to *Wotenaz when he says Mercury (much less then claim that *Wotenaz is meaningfully similar to Odin almost a thousand years later).

[@rohit_parashar]

@@Ludohistory hmm I see, thanks for the information.

Am I the only one who thinks the artifacts she grabs at the end of the tombs slides onto the posts on the map of England in the main tomb? I think they slid onto those and then there's Isu words needed to unlock them. Just like the words Sigurd used to unlock the final tomb?

Wait, you say in the video that the activity of this content starts in 873 when ravensthorpe was founded? how is that possible? In other words, this does not happen after the DLC of the siege of Paris? It does not make sense and that is what I criticize about Ubisoft when it releases so much content and does not put a reference to the time in which each event happens.

[@AccessAnimus]

Hey! Nope, as far as I know Manius is an original character ^^ - Markuz

[@AccessAnimus]

As for the timeline, if I'm not mistaken, I said that this content might have happened at any point in time since Ravensthorpe was founded (in 873) because the activity starts only after building the settlement. It's one of those grey areas where the game doesn't provide an accurate timeline and thus everything is left up for interpretation - Markuz
