This arc was probably my favorite so far. It had me making difficult decisions, it was shocking and it was emotional. In the end, I didn’t send Ivarr to Valhalla but I genuinely felt bad when Ubba talked about seeing his brother in Valhalla. However I don’t regret my decision because Ivarr got so many people killed even after peace was established just to feed his bloodlust.

@@W6786-t5u Ivarr was badass and a warrior, that I wont deny, but giving him valhalla is something Ivarr wanted badly. I mean if he gets valhalla then it is a win-win situation for him no matter the outcome of the fight(Obviously Eivor would win or else how can story go on). So he did not let Ceolbert get what he wanted so in return I did not give the one thing he wanted.

[@OnlyTwoShoes]

@@ksbfun You can't think of it as him deserving Valhalla. As a major part of the culture, Odin needs his army, though it is a lost cause. Sending him to Valhalla is a penance to the All Father, so you choosing to give him his axe is you acting on Odin's behalf. However, denying him is also Odin's decision, as if he wanted him in the army, he would have swayed your hand to assist him.

[@bs9459]

Just finished this arc and was blindsided by the ending. I was on the fence about Ivarr most of the time, but at one point was in the camp of solidly liking him. I suspected that he may be a psychopath but rejected that idea based on his love for his brother, his mentoring of Ceolbert, and his friendship with Eivor. What he did at the end firmly cemented psychopathy imo. In the end I denied him Valhalla, purely based on the notion that Valhalla is for those who chase honor and glory. He did chase glory to the end, but went about it in dishonorable ways. There was a time when he definitely would've deserved Valhalla, being a glorious king-killer and having so many victories. But at the end I felt like what he did overshadowed all of that. There's nothing honorable about betrayal, and he betrayed both Ceolbert and Eivor.

[@pinetree4094]

I want to say I just finished this part and you explained my stance perfectly my husband chose to give him his axe so we had both felt it was the viking way and I couldn't think of the word I was missing to explain my side.

i just finished this arc and i agree with you 100% on the psychopathy. He didnt gave a single f** who he killed what he did, he did it on his own terms. And in the end i thought about denying him valhalla for his betrayal but i also remembered that he was a fierce warrior in every battles with you he helps you tremendously. Also, Odin's speech in the cutscene where he praises Ivarr choice of using the blood eagle on the King surprised me. In the end i Did sent him to valhalla and gave him his axe. Tough choice tho

[@boristhedonk]

[@austinstills7348]

The way I saw it is like this: Giving him Valhalla is giving Ivarr what he wants. He killed Ceolbert and broke his oath just so he could die a warriors death. Not giving him Valhalla is showing him that what he did was wrong. Ivarr acts like a child a lot, and with children, they need to learn a lesson. But on top of all that, I just didnt think he deserved it. Valhalla was for Viking warriors who died honorably. Valhalla wasnt for every warrior. Ivarr acted very dishonorably in killing Ceolbert, breaking his oath, and tricking you in his final fight with that talking bullshit. He was a great warrior, and before all kf that I would have 100% said that he deserves Valhalla. But actions have consequences, and the ends do NOT justify the means

[@pears8445]

Ivaar definitely did not deserve to go to Valhalla. King Rhodri’s wife was a nice person who’s husband was brutally killed by Ivaar for doing absolutely nothing wrong. He ruined the peace between them at the start of the arc as well, just because Rhodri gave him a scar which was Ivaar’s fault. Besides from all that, he also killed Ceolburt just to kill Rhodri.

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

I really cared for and liked Ceolbert. The only king with integrity and morals. And he really trusted Ivarr. This one hurt. But I still sent him to Valhalla. Ones insanity should not deny him his warrior death. When I die in battle one day, there may be things in my past that I regret. But we are warriors, and this is a warrior life. Death everywhere.

Ivarr quickly became one of my favorite characters early on but not after his betrayal. It's pretty messed up thinking that Ceolbert could've been anyone, even Ivarr's brother, and Ivarr wouldn't care as he was so far gone at that point for war and battle. I wish they would've fleshed out Ceolbert, Ivarr and others more but in the games defense I felt really sad and empty after this quest, 2 deaths that couldn't be stopped and that didn't need to happen.... and the way Rhodri hangs is just brutal but is very similar to when we first met Ivarr which was a nice touch. I still have many problems with Valhalla but I remember I spawned on a synchronization point and took a good 5 minutes looking at the horizon to process what just happened with things being eerily silent than usual.

[@jeikeistar]

You said that good. Seeing our little boy who was trying to be compasssionate and level with everyone and everything, to learn new things and understand both sides, teaming up with the game's probably the most crazy and blood-thirsty Viking was fresh and enjoyable in a way. Two complete opposites clash in personality. And having them taken away from us at the same time, in a dirty manner. It felt empty, I felt sad after that arc...

I denied him Valhalla not because I was angry with him, but because he used trickery and deceit to get his way and shed more blood, and also by using the blood eagle without any respect for what the blood eagle was. I read somewhere else that what Ivarr did was a big no even in Norse culture back in the day (torturing innocent people, backstabbing a kid), so I refused his axe. I still feel some guilt over it, since I denied him his preferred afterlife against Odin’s advice, but thusfar, I’ve disagreed with almost everything Odin says to me.

Ivarr was very dishonorable by the end and not worthy of Valhalla so i denied him Valhalla. I did however send Dag to valhalla that man was an honorable warrior even though he didn't really trust Eivor he still followed the orders of his Jarl by listening to Eivor. And the more and more Eivor went out for glory instead of staying in the clan the more Dag took care of the clan. And through misscommunication Dag thought Eivor never searched for Sigurd causing Dag to think Eivor was a traitor so he fought him. Dag fought with Honor never tricking Eivor.

[@dominicochoa9925]

When I fought Ivarr, I had the perk where time moved slower when you dodged an attack. I use a dagger to be faster and all, so when I dodged, I had time to stab him maybe 8 times a second. After what he did to Ceolbert, he deserved it. I was legitimately torn up that he went by himself to cheer up Ivarr, and I felt like Ivarr and I were on the same page with making Rhodri suffer for what he did to Ceolbert. I really felt like I'd met Ivarr on the battlefield, and we really met there. But after his confession, just for a shot at glory, I wanted him to suffer. He only hit me once, from the brief talking we did during the fight. Otherwise, he never got in a shot. It felt ironic to me: my weapon of choice, the buildup of a warrior before only ever landing a hit due to dishonorable means, and the denial of his aspirations

[@bluelight8025]

If you read the letters in the castle, King Rhodri just wanted to retire and a peaceful life. Ceolbert saw him as a mentor and father figure and he betrayed him. And the last thing that set me off is that he started to attack right away before I could answer him when we were resting. Dude deserved that Helheim ticket.💀

[@akiaryu4983]

I did send him to Valhalla why? Because I don't think he really killed Ceolbert. 1-As he was saying " I pushed this dragon dagger into his heart", but the dagger was Ceolbert's lower abdominal 2-Ivarr is all about glory, he brags about his many kills. If he killed Ceolbert, then he would either have to admit to killing someone much loved by both himself and his allies, or he'd have to keep it to himself. Furthermore, on the way to kill Radvi, he names half a dozen nobles and kings that he kills yet leaves Ceolbert off the list - granted there are other reasons for this. Ivarr is obsessed with Valhalla. Murder doesn't get you into Valhalla. You must kill your opponent honourably, or at least memorably. Murdering Ceolbert and leaving him to rot in a cave wouldn't get him anything 3-Coelbert didn't seem angry at him. As Ceolbert was dying, he said Ivarr's name several times but didn't make any attempt to show that he was angry with him or that he had been the one to attack him. He was just gazing at the sky 4-Valhalla. As we all know, Ivarr is obsessed with Valhalla. He was frantic to get an Axe for Ceolbert when he was dying so that he would gain access to Valhalla. In the cave, there was no Axe nor beside him. If Anything, Ivarr would have placed the axe in his hand then finished him off. condemning him to Helheim would be something that an enemy or a Saxon/Briton would do. 5-Eivor. It was plain to see that Eivor didn't want to fight Ivarr - at least not until Ivarr brought up him killing Ceolbert. So it's quite likely that he was egging Eivor into the fight. 6-Revenge. Ceolbert had just assisted in killing one of their top generals and dealing a fatal wound to the Britons. Some of them were probably peeved and said, 'Hey, I'm gut that guy when I see him.

[@ClownNoob338]

I'm torn in between the decision, He killed ceolbert when that cinnamon roll just want to hunt the bear to cheer him up But if i was ceolbert, he surely would want to sent ivarr to valhalla 😔😔

I didn’t give it to him as it was a comfort for him and he didn’t deserve it. In true Viking form if Odin accepts him will still go to Valhalla without a weapon in hand if we are following true history.

I denied his axe cause he really pissed me off, but I understand your perspective too

[@OdinsVikingr]

I thought the same. You can tell Ivarr didn't actually kill him from what he says. He just wanted to die how true Vikingr wishes. His vengeance was quenched and earlier in the story he talked about how he dispised the thought of growing old and living in peace to him a perfect death was to be killed by the greatest warrior he knew and respected.

I sent him to valhalla. Despite his actions and cruel tendencies he was a brave and cargoes warrior.

You have to stab through the stomach to get to the heart. The rib cage prevents any real meeting of the dagger and heart. The Aztecs sacrificed hearts by cutting through the stomach, not the chest. Ivar being Ivar, he probably the easiest way to get to a still beating heart

[@justinwolff7532]

Maybe Translation errors? He says stomach in the German version. I was confused too

sent him to valhalla, but not before giving him easily the most shameful death, threw him against walls and only threw his own axes back at him, he never hit me once. edit: i also replayed the fight just to see what a melee fight would look like and hes still pretty easy. in that one the game glitched and he threw himself off the mountain and died i dont think odin would accept a death like that lol.
