Last night, previous MTV News the staff, Stephen Totilo, sent me a text about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: “Go sit by the campfire.”
We had been talking about the game, and he suggested I check something out. Apparently, even though I would have sunk 90 hours the biggest match of last year—Although I had completed all the animus anomalies, I removed most of the regional plots and extensively analyzed at the end of the game—Somehow I had missed a primordial hidden scene that has serious implications for the relationship between two important characters.
The main spoilers follow Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Therefore, the bonfire. It’s not just any bonfire, but specifically the one you see as you explore the current segment, in New England. And you’ll have to sit there after beating the main arc of the game, apparently, once you put on Basim’s shoes, but certainly sensible. (Remember that, following the events of the Hordafylke Arch, the recent protagonist of the Layla series ends up locked in an ancient digital abyss. Basim, once presumed dead, uses a magic scepter to return to life and escape the world real, at 21 Then you control him more than Layla current history of Assassin’s Creed it remains, as always, totally mind-boggling.)

I reached that point in my game, so I headed Basim towards the bonfire. “Oh, the wonderful smell of wood smoke,” he says. “I’m glad some things never change.” Then look at the idyllic American country. It’s very beautiful. But it’s not exactly fundamental.
Zack Zweizen, Kotakuis at home Assassin’s Creed master of knowledge, had a different experience. When he followed the same steps, he saw …
Yes, this is Eivor. It is not Eivor Eivor, mind you, but rather an apparition, resembling the ghosts of force Star Wars. Look closely and you will see the notes of a smile. In the full clip, Eivor and Basim point to each other, a recognition of mutual respect. One could reasonably come to assume that Eivor, with this move, basically says, “All is well, man.”
It doesn’t matter how many hundreds of years have passed. If my brother disappeared for two years and then appeared one day with a strange man, then that strange man tried to kidnap my brother and partially dismember him, and then secretly hid us in an adventure that sought soul in the our homeland. , and then he revealed his secret plan all the time, like the worst possible moment, and then he tried to kill me, I don’t know that would be so forgiving.
Nor do we know how the skeleton of Eivor ended up in New England. But Eivor — whether through the magical technology Animus or through Basim’s established presence in the 21st century — seems to still exist in one way or another. And it’s not that there are no precedents for these things. Kassandra, the protagonist of 2018 Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, was able to survive to this day. (She is dead now.) Here we hope this means that Eivor, the protagonist of the strongest series since Ezio Auditore, will reappear.
It’s unclear why Zack saw this scene as I ended up hooked with a melancholy ode to nostalgia. I played a lot Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but there are still two important tasks I have to complete. For one thing, I haven’t finished the Hamtunscire bow. After learning what’s going on, I decided that the eight to ten hours needed to get through it — look, I play these games at an extremely methodical pace — would be better spent playing anything else. I didn’t address any of Asgard’s stuff either, although it’s the first on my checklist for when I finally get back into the game.
Our best working theory is that you will have to complete one or both segments before you can see Eivor in New England. Kotaku has contacted Ubisoft about the exact settings needed to activate this scene.
