	~~Havi~~'s decision on whether to grant Ivaldi his freedom or ~~his thanks~~ for creating Gleipnir impacts Ivaldi's interaction with him at the start of the memory "[[Binding Fate]]".		The player's decision on whether to grant Ivaldi his freedom or merely Havi's gratitude for creating Gleipnir impacts Ivaldi's interaction with him at the start of the memory "[[Binding Fate]]". However, in the ''[[Dawn of Ragnarök]]'' [[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla downloadable content\|expansion]], Ivaldi is depicted as having returned to [[Svartálfaheimr]] some time after this arc's events regardless, and no reference is made to this decision one way or the other. In terms of narrative, this implies that the blacksmith gained his freedom some other way, or that granting him freedom was the canonical choice. In terms of gameplay, the ''Dawn of Ragnarök'' expansion can be played completely independently of the base game as a 'New Game', and thus would have no plot flag to refer to this decision—or any other—in the first place.
