	The game offers seemingly contradictory accounts about his death; Loki's fragment of memories, explored through the [[Animus Anomalies]] planted by [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]] into [[Layla Hassan]]'s simulation has Loki imply that he poisoned Baldr with a small amount of mistletoe, which was enough to cause his death, and soon left to tell his consort, [[Aletheia]]; while the ''Dawn of Ragnarök'' expansion, positioned as a mythologized version of actual events, has a more elaborate scenario, where Baldr is captured and tortured by [[Surtr]], with [[Sinmara]] forcing him to ingest many "drafts" of mistletoe until his death, with Loki simply giving Surtr the means to capture him, and subsequently being imprisoned.
