In Grantebridge, Eivor reunited with Soma, seated on the jarl's throne and stewarding the burgeoning city. | |||

(Chose "Goodbye") | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''It was good to see you, Soma.'' | |||

If Galinn's treachery was uncovered, Eivor tracked down Lif for a brief reunion. | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''How are you, Lif?'' | |||
*'''Lif:''' ''Quite well! It's been odd not having Birna around to keep my pride in check. How is she since she joined you?'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''I think she's enjoying herself.'' | |||
After the [[Holy Day|battle]] in [[Chippenham]], Eivor returned to Lif once more. | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''I'm sorry about Soma, Lif. Grantebridge must feel empty without her.'' | |||

There, behind the house where she first seized him, she reunited with Shergar, who had leveraged his ruse as [[Tedmund]] to become de facto ealdorman of the shire. | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''You look better than the last time we met, Shergar.'' | |||
*'''Shergar:''' ''Shergar? You mistake me, for I am Ealdorman Tedmund.'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''Tedmund is dead.'' | |||
*'''Shergar:''' ''Ah, now, you know that as well as I. But the rest of Cent, do not.'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''So you have donned his cloak once more?'' | |||
*'''Shergar:''' ''He would not have made a good shepherd. Self-absorbed, paranoid, brittle as bark on a deadwood tree.'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''So what will you do in his stead?'' | |||
*'''Shergar:''' ''So much! Cent has lost her way, the Church and the Crown bicker like petty magpies. I can serve both, bring peace.'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''A noble aim.'' | |||
*'''Shergar:''' ''Cynebert held the law of God above the law of man, and he died for it. I will make the king my ally. And I have much to do!'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''You have come a long way from the shambling actor. Stuttering and shivering in boots too big for you.'' | |||
*'''Shergar:''' ''I will endeavor to do my best. And I owe this second chance to you. You did not need to trust me.'' | |||
*'''Eivor:''' ''Do not betray that good faith.'' | |||

*'''Eivor:''' ''The [[Sulfur|fumes]] from that water warn me to avoid it.'' | |||
From the central tower, a passage to the left near some large fallen statues of soldiers led to a door locked from the other side. Eivor slid down a slope full of spikes until she reached another cave, filled with sulfurous water and lined with scaffolding. There, she loosed arrows to release a series of counterweights to raise parts of the scaffolding and reach the top level. At the top, Eivor threw a lever to activate a simple {{Wiki|horizontal elevator}} over lava, rode the platform across, then shot some boards above a locked door to infiltrate a small sealed chamber.

Eivor continued down the path. She found the mechanism dispensing the round weight, then carried it through a tunnel full of lava by hopping across stalagmites, moved shelves to retrieve a prisoner's key from its skeleton in a gibbet above, and unlocked the door leading back. Just below the statues, she set the weight down on the exposed pressure plate. At the main chamber's lowest level was a building carved into the cavern wall. Inside, she blew up a back wall to reveal a movable shelf, which she dropped into the water before the column she needed, escorting it to an elevator and activating the lever to carry them both up. At the top, she shot jars to adjust the counterweights and gain vantage points to shoot down the drawbridge. With the bridge down, she slid the column across, then navigated another room to throw levers and raise two platforms to form another path across.

Escorting the column through, she dropped it down to the room from which she entered these chambers, then brought it back to the main chamber, sliding it onto the second square pressure plate.

On the opposite wall, she destroyed some boards and found another sealed wall to blast through. On the other side of a crack in the wall, Eivor dropped a tall stone onto a counterweight and blasted through the submerged sealed wall, granting her access to the sewers that contained the lost key. She returned to the locked door and opened the way leading back, sliding the weighted column with her, then climbing up to access the main chamber and drop a tall stone on the counterweight, completing the path to the column's destination. In the waters ahead, two tunnels lay submerged on either side. On the left, Eivor found a flooded maze full of doors and counterweights secured with timeworn pulleys.

*'''Eivor:''' ''Those platforms could help me cross... if I can move them.'' | |||
Eivor destroyed the rope pulley overhead with an arrow, releasing the platform to the surface and allowing her to vault over the spike traps into a bathhouse.

*''' | *'''Ezio:''' ''And what are the terms of this supposed enslavement?'' | ||
*''' | *'''Claudia:''' ''Since SOMEONE decided we're going to stay here, ''Zio'' (uncle) Mario suggested we try and find the money to repair the villa. Problem is, there isn't any.'' | ||
*''' | *'''Ezio:''' ''I bet I can bring in some money.'' | ||
*'''Claudia:''' ''Oh great, more work for me. Well, ''benissimo'' (fine). If you start paying for improvements to the town, I'll keep track of them in this book. And since I have nothing better to do, I'll also make note of any objects you bring in from the outside. If you actually get this place up and running, travelers might visit and spend money, although I doubt anyone will want to come this far out of the city. But if they do, I'll keep the money we make in this [[Treasure chest|chest]]. You're going to have to show up to take it to the [[bank]] yourself, because when it gets full, I'm just going to take the extra cash for myself. ''Capito?'' (Understand?)'' | |||

If you invest more money in the shop you get an even greater discount. As for the renovations, well... you'll be bringing the town and villa back to life. As Ser Mario tells me, that was very important to your [[Domenico Auditore|great-great-grandfather]]. Plus, when you buy shops and renovations, you'll be increasing the number of people who visit, causing your income to increase! So, let's take a look, shall we?'' | ||
*''' | He showed Ezio a list of shops in the town in need of repairs and renovation. After ordering the renovation of a building, Ezio visited his sister again in order to check the town's progress. | ||

*''' | *'''Mario:''' ''Ezio! My boy. I think it's time I showed you something.'' | ||
| | [[File:ACoP 15 v.png|thumb|250px|Mario showing the Sanctuary to Ezio]] | ||
He pulled a lever within the bookshelf in his study. It opened to reveal a passage beyond, which led to a cellar. | |||
*'''Mario:''' ''This is the [[Sanctuary]]. It was built by my great-grandfather to honor the memory of the Assassin Order and protect its secrets. Look around! These are the assassins who guarded the freedom of [[human]]ity when it was most threatened. And this is the [[Armor of Altaïr]]. Little is known about [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|Altaïr]]'s life, but his armor is light and very strong. I'd give it to you, but I don't know how to retrieve it. My great-grandfather told me it would remain locked away until all its protectors were made whole. I heard rumors of crypts located throughout ''[[Italy|Italia]]'', hidden tombs filled with treasure where these six were moved centuries ago. Maybe they have something to do with it. In my younger days, I sought the six myself... with no success. Perhaps you will have better luck.'' | |||
[[File:Armor of Altaïr ACII.png|thumb|250px|Ezio obtains the Armor of Altaïr from its pedestal]] | |||
Over the next few years, Ezio collected all the six [[Assassin Seals]] from various [[Assassin Tombs]] throughout the country and put them in their respective places under the statues of the six Assassins.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Novella's Secret]]<br>↑ ''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Il Duomo's Secret]]<br>↑ ''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Torre Grossa's Secret]]<br>↑ ''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[San Marco's Secret]]<br>↑ ''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Visitazione's Secret]]<br>↑ Assassin's Creed II – [[Ravaldino's Secret]]</ref> With every Seal he returned, a bar lock associated with each Assassins' respective symbol slid away from the gate that sealed away Altaïr's armor. Once Ezio put the last seal in its place, the gate quickly dropped into the floor without the locks to hold it up, and the pedestal with Altaïr's statue and armor lowered to chest height. Ezio approached it and reached for the gear. | |||
*''' | *'''Ezio:''' ''Thank you, Altaïr, for this great gift. May it shield me from my enemies.'' | ||
Ezio touched the armor's refined metal and gathered its pieces to take to the Villa's armory, where he put it on. | |||
<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Through eyes of Ezio's modern day descendant, Desmond Miles, interacting with the statues using the Animus revealed the following descriptions: | |||

''Atop this pedestal stands a statue of QULAN GAL, the male Mongolian assassin. He used a BOW AND ARROW to shoot Ghenghis Khan's horse.''<br> | |||

Once his uncle left the room, Ezio visited the town's blacksmith and acquired the [[Condottiero War Hammer]], which he added to the Villa's armory rack.

Kassandra[edit | edit source]
| Sargon |
|---|
After learning from her adopted father Nikolaos that her mother Myrrine was still alive,[1] the Spartan misthios Kassandra sailed to Phokis, Greece to claim the reward that Elpenor had promised to her.[2] While in the polis of Kirrha, Kassandra came across the Oikos of the Olympians run by Sargon.
(If "What do you sell?" is chosen.)
(If "Why not take drachmae?" is chosen.)
(If "Where do I get orichalcum?" is chosen.)
(Accept – "Show me what you have.")
Kassandra inspected Sargos' wares. Her curiosity satisfied, she left and continued her search for Elpenor. A while later,[3] Kassandra returned to talk to Sargon again.
Kassandra looked over his inventory again, then left to resume her quests. Towards the end of her journeys, she visited Sargon one last time.[4] |
| Approaching land |
|---|
| During her travels around the Aegean Sea onboard the Adrestia, Kassandra talked about Greece's many islands with her comrades Barnabas and Herodotos as they neared their respective shores.[5]
Kassandra and the Adrestia crew approached the Isle of Thisvi close to Phokis during their voyage to Megaris to kill the Wolf of Sparta.[6]
Kassandra and the Adrestia approached Marathon Beach in Attika while on their way to the island of Andros.[7]

Bayek[edit | edit source]
| Encounters across Egypt |
|---|
While travelling across the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt in 48 BCE hunting the Order of the Ancients, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa came across the travelling merchant Reda at his Nomad's Bazaar stall.[8]
Bayek inspected Reda's wares. His curiosity satisfied, he left and continued hunting the Order. A while later,[8] Bayek found Reda's stall again and spoke to him.
Bayek looked over Reda's inventory again, then left to resume his quest. Reda eventually made his way to Alexandria, where he spotted Bayek passing by one day and called out to him.[8]
Bayek looked over Reda's wares once more, and then left as before. Shortly after learning that the Order member known as "The Lizard" served under the unaware High Priest Pasherenptah in Memphis,[9] Bayek visited Reda one last time.
Bayek inspected Reda's wares a final time before leaving.

Basim ibn Ishaq[edit | edit source]
| Encounters across Al-Ula |
|---|
While travelling across the desert near al-Ula in search of his father Ishaq ibn Khalid, Basim met a musician who also seemed to enjoy playing the oud. The musician shared what he knew about the performer's corners scattered across the land where one could play the oud, and encouraged Basim to find more oud melodies he could perform.[12]
|
Eivor Varinsdottir[edit | edit source]
| Encounters across England and Norway |
|---|
| Eivor reunited with many of her allies after establishing connections with them.[13]
In Grantebridge, Eivor reunited with Soma, seated on the jarl's throne and stewarding the burgeoning city.
(Asked "How is the city?")
(Chose "Goodbye")
If Galinn's treachery was uncovered, Eivor tracked down Lif for a brief reunion.
After the battle in Chippenham, Eivor returned to Lif once more.
After sparing Leofrith during the Sons of Ragnar's assault at Tamworth Fortress,[14] Eivor stopped by Lincoln and saw him waiting at the city docks. She walked up and spoke to him.
After helping Oswald become king of East Anglia[15] and attending to his wedding, Eivor returned to Elmenham and found him in the village's longhouse.[16]
Following Ceolbert's death at the hands of Ivarr the Boneless,[17] Eivor went to visit Bishop Deorlaf in Quatford at his request and found him in the town's church conducting a small choir.
 After recapturing Cyne Belle Castle for Geadric[18] and assulting Rouecistre Fortress with the help of his troops,[19] Eivor returned to the fortress at the request of thegn Holt to attend a ceremony that would officialize Geadric as ealdorman of Oxenefordscire. The shieldmaiden entered the main hall of the castle, approaching a group of people gathered around the soon-to-be ealdorman and king Ceolwulf.
Geadric knelt down before him.
Eivor and the crowd applauded as Geadric stood up and Ceolwulf left the room. With the event over, the Viking went to speak to the new ealdorman.
If Eivor had released Shergar after working with him to free the Danes, she eventually returned to Beamasfield some time after the her disastrous dealings with Cynebert had concluded. There, behind the house where she first seized him, she reunited with Shergar, who had leveraged his ruse as Tedmund to become de facto ealdorman of the shire.
After the truth[20] of Eluric's parentage was revealed and Eivor secured her alliance with his father Birstan, the ealdorman of Essexe, Eivor encountered him at a tavern on the western end of Colcestre.
Eluric paused to think on his words.
Eluric laughed.
Some time after helping Estrid escape to Francia[21] and reuniting Alfida with Essexe's ealdorman Birstan,[22] Eivor visited them at their residence. She spoke with Alfida.
Eivor took her leave to speak to Birstan.
In the aftermath of helping in the purge of the Order of the Ancients from Lunden[23] and rescuing her brother Sigurd from Fulke's custody in Portcestre,[24] Eivor received an invitation from the reeves of the city to partake on the unveiling of the reconstructed Lunden. Arriving at the Governor's Villa, she found Stowe in front of the entrance to the mansion.
The two entered the room, finding Erke talking with an archer in front of Tryggr's old throne.
Eivor shook hands with Erke, with Stowe moving to his side. Eivor looked around her, noticing that the room was different from the last time she had been there.
Eivor turned to look at the guests.
A woman and a soldier praised Eivor, followed by Erke himself.
Erke then turned to her.
Stowe and Erke raised arms.
Eivor nodded, leaving the two of them talking to each other.
Eivor spoke with Erke and Stowe again.
As he talked, he patted Stowe on his shoulder.
Eivor nodded to them once again, turning to the soldier that had praised her earlier, next to them.
She then went to talk to Gyda, closer to the entrance.
After that, the Viking went to talk to some of the Norse soldiers who had been previously recruited by The Arrow, now feasting in one of the sides of the hall.
The warrior spoke with humor as he referred back to their previous encounter, before dropping into a hushed voice.
Before leaving the festivities, Eivor went to bid farewell to Stowe and Erke.
Following the burning of the Wicker Man and rise of Tewdwr as the successor of Cynon in the ealdormancy of Glowecestrescire,[25] Eivor travelled to the city square near the longhouse of Glowecestre, where she found him, with Cynon's crown on the head, addressing a group of townsfolk from a wooden platform.
Tewdwr led Eivor away to a discreet garden on the outskirts with a few apiaries.
Eivor and Tewdwr drew closer to one another.
Eivor interrupted him with a kiss. They dropped to the ground in the throes of passion. After some time, they sat up in contemplation.
Eivor was taken aback by this revelation. She stood up.
Eivor began to walk off as Tewdwr stood and started to follow.
Eivor turned to walk away while Tewdwr sighed in resignation.
Eivor walked closer to him, touching on one of the horns on his leaf-filled crown.
Eivor turned the conversation to the state of the shire.
Eivor then travelled through the woods of Glowecestrescire, in direction of Halewyn's home. When she arrived there, the viking found the druid wandering around the lit fires in his yard.
If Trygve came through his grief at Hemming's loss, Eivor could speak to him at the longhouse in Hemthorpe.
After wiping out the Order of the Ancients in England and returning to Wincestre to plumb Alfred's study,[26] Eivor found herself returning to Wincestre Seminary, where many of the children she had liberated from the Quill[27] had gathered for lessons and recreation. With the Order removed, Alfred's push for mass education had begun to take root.
The conversation over, Eivor pondered about the state of things.
She spoke to Wigbert once more.
The Viking then spoke to the various children in the room that she had previously saved.
Following that, Eivor read the documents scattered across the desks, including the one Wigbert was reading. Dull Lesson
Turgid Text
Deathly Dull Letter
Bloody History
The shieldmaiden spoke to the magister presiding over the class.
Eivor then overheard chatter amongst the children.
She prepared to leave the seminary, passing through the courtyard, where more children were talking among themselves and to her.
In the aftermath of the events that Sigurd and Eivor went through in the Yggdrasil Chamber,[28] the shieldmaiden returned to Alrekstad in Hordafylke and encountered Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson drowning his sorrows in the tavern where her and his son had left him.
After that, Eivor entered the town's inner walls and its longhouse to find Harald Fairhair standing next to the throne.
|
| Ravensthorpe residents |
|---|
Shortly after the Raven Clan settled in Ravensthorpe,[29] the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir spoke to Gunnar outside the new smithy. ("What do you do here, Gunnar?")
Some time after Svend's death,[31] Eivor spoke to Tove inside the Tattoo Shop.
Tove's Tribute to Svend
Eivor spoke to Wallace in the Hunter's Hut. |
| Reda |
|---|
Shortly after Reda and his Thousand Eyes aide had settled in Ravensthorpe,[32] Eivor walked up to Reda's stall and talked to him.
(If "See shop" was chosen.)
Eivor perused Reda's wares and then decided whether to buy something. (If "I want a contract." was chosen.)
Eivor looked through Reda's papers and selected a contract. Eivor looked through Reda's papers but could not find any contracts, or only saw ones that were not to her liking.
(If "What do you do here?" is chosen.)
(Leave – "I have to go.")
Later, Eivor passed by Reda's stall and overheard him as he told Sylvi, Eira, and Knud a story. Intrigued, she walked up and leaned on one of the poles supporting the awning as she listened.
Satisfied, Knud, Eira, and Sylvi left.
Later, when Eivor dreamt of Odin's efforts to rescue his son Baldr from Surtr's Muspel forces in Svartálfaheimr,[33] Eivor included Reda in her visions. In the dreams, Odin saw Reda sitting on a carpet in Jordber Shelter surrounded by unrefined silica crystals, and spoke to him.
Reda stood up.
Reda chuckled.
He chuckled craftily as he finished.
Havi looked through Reda's papers and selected a contract.
Havi looked through Reda's papers but could not find any contracts, or only saw ones that were not to his liking.
(Leave – I have to go)

| Ship stories |
|---|
| Various crew members aboard Eivor's longship, the Sea-Chariot, told stories as they traveled.[13]
While sailing, Bragi began telling a story.
The longboat crew began murmuring amongst each other.
The longboat crew began murmuring amongst each other.
While sailing, Dag Nithisson began telling a story.
The longboat crew burst into laughter. The longboat crew burst into laughter.
The longboat crew chuckled.
The longboat crew burst into laughter. While sailing, Birna began telling a story.
Soma of Grantebridge. For a time, all the ealdormen of England wanted her dead. A bounty on her head the size of Yggdrasil. So she met with the leader of the South Gyrwans and told their King Roffe, "Say that you killed me. Proclaim it to all of the lands." Roffe answered, "No one will believe me." And Soma shook her head. "Invite them. Here. You will burn me on a pyre for all to see." So they came, the nobles of East Anglia, north and south, of Mercia, of Wessex. They wished to see Guthrum's Valkyrie die. Before all, King Roffe pronounced her guilty of murder and sentenced her to death. Then they put her on a boat and set it afire. Yet Soma had constructed a trap beneath the pyre. She released herself into the murky waters and swam to a bramble. Muddled and wet, she waited in the thorns for night to fall. She then returned to Cambridge as a shadow-walker. She entered the city and stole into the king's chamber, and took the head of Roffe, shouting, "Traitors of Soma wear no heads!" The Saxons thought Soma a ghost! A spirit who kills! A curse invincible to fire and death! What a leader, my Soma. While sailing, Finnr began telling a story.
While sailing, Bjorn Bloodtooth began telling a story. While sailing, Rollo began telling a story.
While sailing Vili Hemmingson began telling a story.

| Encounters across Vinland |
|---|
While roaming across Vinland, Eivor came to a nearby lake, where she saw Konwahawíhshon humming to herself as she fished.[13]
Eivor walked closer for a better look.
Eivor approached Konwahawíhshon, who noticed her guest.
Seeing what Konwahawíhshon was doing, Eivor readied her own fishing line as the village leader continued humming.
Eivor cast her line into the lake full of fish.
Just as Eivor caught a fish, Konwahawíhshon spoke up.
Eivor pulled up the fish and held it aloft.
Eivor caught another fish.
Eivor caught a third fish and added it to Konwahawíhshon's pile.
As Konwahawíhshon gathered the fish, she saw that a bear had come up some distance behind Eivor.
Eivor turned around in time to see the startled bear retreat into the bush.
Together, Eivor and Konwahawíhshon chased after the bear.
The women tracked the bear to a stream leading out from the lake behind a hill.
Konwahawíhshon provided covering fire with her bow as Eivor fought the bear. After a brief brawl, the animal was killed.
Before leaving, Eivor spoke to Konwahawíhshon once more.
Eivor left Konwahawíhshon to prepare the bear. |
| The Daughters of Lerion |
|---|
| While travelling through East Anglia,[13] Eivor found a ruined villa and church in the woods outside the city of Northwic. Exploring the grounds, Eivor saw that they were littered with dilapidated attempts at defenses, countless bones—particularly human skulls, many on stakes—and had been abandoned for years due to the overgrowth of vegetation. Eivor approached the villa's main entrance and saw a large white circle with arcane ritual symbols scrawled on the ground and steps in front of the doorway. Stepping inside, she saw two cobwebbed chairs decorated with animal skulls facing the doorway, as well as a note at the foot of the chair on the right.
Faded Letter
Eivor left the villa to investigate the church, only to find it gutted and burned out. Beside it, however, was a small building which had the planks boarding up the entry torn away. Eivor entered it and dropped down a hole in the floor. Pushing through a crack in the wall of a pit, Eivor found herself in a underground lair filled with cobwebs. Descending deeper, she passed through a door decorated with strings of arm and leg bones, and came to a storage room with a letter on the floor and another hole to a lower level. Eivor read the letter. Faded Letter
Eivor dropped down to the lower level, which had another doorway decorated with bones and was filled with knee- to waist-deep water from a breeched underground reservoir. She soon came to a set of steps rising above water level, where she found another note beside an arrow-studded shield on the ground. Faded Letter
Eivor climbed over some rubble and dropped into a third and final level lined with broken Roman statues along a hallway. Turning left, she came to a loose collection of broken stakes, shields, and rubble, among which was a letter. Faded Letter
Eivor continued down the hall, passing a large defaced statue with its head replaced by a deer skull, and stopped at a wall with a crack in it. Squeezing through, she emerged in a small open room with a flight of stairs that lead back to the surface and ended beside the estate's central fountain. Eivor retraced her path and continued the other direction down the statue hall, which terminated in a crypt that had been hollowed out to fit a new addition. In the center of the room sat a moss-covered stone titan holding a club, with a large set of antlers on its head and three glowing cracks set into its back. Carefully navigating around the skulls and rubble which filled the room, Eivor found another letter on a railing near the titan. Faded Letter
Eivor found a note on the base of a column to the left of the crypt entrance. Faded Letter
Eivor then found a final note on a stone sarcophagus to the right of the crypt's entrance. Faded Letter
Eivor approached the steps leading to the titan's back.
Curiosity piqued, Eivor exited the tomb and continued her journey. While in the Isle of Ely Monastery, Eivor found a note amongst a pile of papers on a desk in a treasury room. Keep Out of the Marsh
Exploring the marshes of Grantebridgescire, Eivor discovered the Spalda Fens, with its low mist and myriad fireflies.
She soon came upon a corpse propped up in a kneeling position.
Approaching the cadaver, Eivor could see that ropes were tied around the dead body's head like a makeshift blindfold, with its mouth hanging open.
From the cadaver's open mouth came a cloud of green mist, which surrounded Eivor and induced a hallucinatory state.
A figure approached Eivor from behind.
Eivor turned to face Goneril.
Eivor initiated combat with Goneril, who would teleport around, turning into cloud of sickly green hue.
She transformed into a smoke shade which attacked Eivor and dispersed before reforming another shade from the cloud and attacking again.
Eivor learned her attack patterns and struck when the opportunity arose.
After suffering much damage, Goneril changed tactics.
Goneril resumed combat, using stronger attacks and shades.
Eivor continued her assault, dodging Goneril's poison traps.
Eivor eventually defeated her.
While exploring East Anglia, Eivor discovered the barren Walsham Crag shrouded in heavy mist.
A drop of blood fell from the corpse's nose and struck a rock, producing a cloud of red mist that gathered about Eivor's face and induced a hallucinatory state. A figure emerged from the opposite end of the clearing and menacingly approached Eivor.
Eivor turned to face Regan.
Eivor stepped away from the altar and walked towards Regan.
The two met in the open grounds at the center of the ruins as Regan surrounded the place with more red mist.
Eivor initiated combat with Regan, who transformed into a smoke shade which attacked Eivor and dispersed before reforming another shade from the cloud and attacking again.
Regan resumed combat, continually using her shades to teleport and attack Eivor up close. The shade always struck after Regan, mimicking her moves exactly, which prevented Eivor from easily countering Regan immediately after dodging her attack. Using ranged attacks and quick strikes, Eivor found openings to inflict damage.
After suffering much damage, Regan quickly changed tactics, casting a wide circle of red smoke around herself which exploded, knocking Eivor back and filling the air with thick ash and embers.
Regan resumed combat, forming more shades which burst into flame upon striking Eivor, or leaving trails of flame behind as they teleported, preventing Eivor from easily chasing Regan.
Eivor eventually defeated Regan.
While exploring East Anglia's Theotford Forest, Eivor approached some Roman ruins in Berkelow Bog.
Suddenly, thunder crashed and a bolt of lightning struck the corpse. Blinded, Eivor raised her hands, only for a cloud of blue-grey smoke to gather about her face and induce a hallucinatory state. A figure emerged from the opposite end of the ruins and menacingly approached Eivor.
Coughing, Eivor turned to face Cordelia.
Cordelia continued walking forward as lightning sparked across Eivor.
Eivor stepped down from the stage and walked to Cordelia, coughing through the smoke's effects.
The two met in the open grounds at the center of the ruins as Cordelia surrounded the place with blue smoke.
Eivor initiated combat with Cordelia, who teleported away to create phantoms of herself which charged at Eivor.
Cordelia resumed combat, continually teleporting away from Eivor's attacks or up close to deliver her own.
Eivor fought through Cordelia's rage to inflict damage.
Cordelia continued summoning lightning phantoms.
After suffering much damage, Cordelia quickly changed tactics, casting a wide circle of blue fire around herself which exploded, knocking Eivor back and filling the air with thick blue smoke.
Cordelia teleported to another part of the ruins and called down bigger lightning strikes around her, but the bolts did not hit Eivor.
Eivor anticipated where the lightning bolts would strike and weaved between them, drawing close and ready to strike Cordelia while she was vulnerable.
Eivor eventually defeated Cordelia.
After defeating all of Lerion's daughters, Eivor returned to the estate and revisited the statue.
Pulling out Goneril's dagger, Eivor aligned it with one of the slits and inserted it with a stone-grinding scrape until it clicked solidly into place.
Eivor inserted Cordelia's dagger into another slit.
Eivor inserted Regan's dagger into the remaining slit.
With all three daggers inserted, the statue suddenly burst apart, shaking the crypt as it collapsed the floor to reveal a deeper tunnel underneath. When the dust settled, Eivor entered the hole and followed the path down a hall lined with more Roman statues. She emerged in a treasure room that held four thrones, two on either side facing each other. Eivor found a note on one of the thrones on the left side. Faded Letter
Eivor left the chair and stepped over a similar arcane circle as the one at the villa's entrance to reach the central altar, which was composed of three still-smoking candles in skulls atop skull-covered stone blocks surrounding a treasure chest. Eivor opened it and claimed Thor's Helmet from within.

In Grantebridge, Eivor came upon a locked hut with a group of three people standing outside. She spoke to the woman.
Eivor took the key and unlocked the hut to find it full of skeletons, pig carcasses, and animal skulls, with a stool set beside a wear in the back wall. Suspicious, Eivor returned to speak to the woman again.
Seeing she would get no answers, Eivor entered the house and sat on the stool. A man's voice came from seemingly nowhere.
Eivor smiled.
Eivor noticed movement behind the wicker of the worn wall beside her and smirked.
There was the sound of movement, and Eivor stood.
Near the docks of Stavanger, came across two men, one of whom insulted her as she approached him from behind.
Manning turned to face her.
He began to circle Eivor.
Eivor looked back at Manning's companion in question, but he only shrugged.
(Accept – "I do!")
Manning nodded and began.
Manning put his hand to his chest.

Shortly after sailing to Ireland to meet her cousin Bárid mac Ímair,[34] Eivor spoke to Azar at her shop in Dublin's market.
(If "What do you have today?" is chosen.)
Eivor looked over Azar's contracts and decided whether to conduct some overseas trading.
(If "Remind me what you do here." is chosen.)
(Leave – "I have what I need.")
Eivor left Azar's shop and continued walking until she came to Aoife's smithy at the edge of the market.
(If "Let me see your services." is chosen.)
Eivor quickly inspected Aoife's wares and decided whether to buy anything.
(If "What do you do here?" is chosen.)
(Leave – "I have to go.")

| Frankish Nobles |

| While aiding the siege of Paris, Eivor met and fought three disenfranchised Frankish nobles.[35]
While passing near Les Trois Pignons, Eivor spotted a chest suspiciously positioned in the center of a clearing. Smelling a trap, Eivor avoided the chest and began scouting the area. She cleared some explosive traps with arrows and eventually found a nobleman hiding in the bushes, striking at him.
Eivor looted the chest and a hiding noble starting attacking her.
Eivor began attacking him between his crossbow volleys and chasing him around the clearing. He continued to boast despite his wounds.
Eivor eventually defeated Amric.
From the first noble she killed, she remarked on a letter she found.
From Amric's body, she retrieved a letter written on woven sheep's wool. Woolly Letter
Eivor approached a group of nuns being confronted by another woman mounted on a horse.
Grass-Stained Letter
They began their fight to the death. Eivor dodged his greatsword strikes and inflicted injuries. He continued to boast despite his wounds.
Rather than humor the fool with a duel, Eivor stuck her Hidden Blade into him while he boasted. Eivor defeated Herbert.
From Herbert's body, Eivor retrieved a finely written letter. Finely Written Letter
In the nearby house, she found another note providing further details on the eccentric duelist. Mad Sheep Man Complaint
Having defeated all of the nobles, Eivor reflected on their cause.

| Tombs of the Fallen |
|---|
| While exploring England, Eivor found and investigated a number of tombs belonging to former Brittonic leaders who fought invading Roman legions.[36]
Eivor arrived at Ravensthorpe's docks and saw a crowd of onlookers witnessing strange behavior in a group of animals in the river.
The women continued.
The fish and animals continued to flail strangely in the water.
Eivor approached them.
Through her raven's eyes, Eivor saw strange winds surrounding a rock engraved with a large ⟨
Eivor crossed the river and went towards the marked rock while the two women shrugged at one another. When she touched the sigil, the rock itself flickered away into an Isu column, revealing an entrance into the mountain itself.
A note lay near the small column. Strange Columns
Eivor entered Manius's Sanctum, taking a Leap of Faith into a cart of hay at the bottom of the cave. She began exploring the tunnels beneath and found another letter. Command of Nero Claudius Germanicus, Emperor of Rome
Eivor came upon a hall with a couple of pressure plates.
The one on the left had a round recess, the one on the right a square impression.
To the left up the wall, she found an opening into an adjoining alcove, which contained a mechanism. Eivor threw the lever and the mechanism dispensed a small round weight.
She returned to the hall with the weight in hand and dropped it on the round pressure plate. A lock clicked within the door and she turned her attention to the other. Behind a seal of wooden planks, she found a tall, movable column with a square footprint.
She slid the column onto the square plate. The second lock clicked open, raising the heavy gate and allowing her to proceed.
Eivor stepped through the gate and descended into the wide open chamber, taking stock of her surroundings.
Eivor walked up a short flight of stairs and spied an Isu map of the Isles hanging on the far cavern wall. She found a key to Manius' workshop and another note. The Final Conundrum
In an excavated pit before the base of the stairs was the final entrance Manius had mentioned.
Eivor unlocked a nearby door leading to Manius' workshop, taking note of his lethal designs.
She read a note on his desk. Notes from the Roman Engineer
Near a prototype trap, two notes were affixed with daggers. Notes for Spinning Traps
Notes for Spike Walls
Past the spike trap, Eivor looted a chest and retrieved the Fallen Hero Cape.
Taking note of the marked locations, Eivor left the sanctum behind and first travelled to East Anglia.
The Illusions Eivor entered Boudicca's tomb.
She made her way deeper, avoiding the numerous spike traps.
Eivor reached a large chamber filled with traps and pressure plates. To her right, she climbed up and opened a portcullis to release one of the weights she needed, and found the other to the left. With the weighted columns in place, Eivor crossed a deep chasm filled with poisonous gas.
To the right, she descended into a pit lined with spikes and found a mechanism that dispensed a small round weight. To return to the main hall, however, she had to traverse a tunnel filled with gas and spinning traps.
She navigated the tunnel and returned to the main chamber, placing the weight upon the pressure plate and went to find another. To the far left, Eivor went through a tunnel of gas and spike walls, finding another mechanism at the end of it.
She made her way back to the main hall, weight in hand, dodging traps along the way and moving tall stones into place to use as footholds.
With all four pressure plates weighed down, the gate opened.
To cross to the crypt entrance, Eivor quickly removed the stones weighing down the platforms and climbed back up, allowing them to rest evenly and form a path across the final chasm. In the crypt proper, Eivor saw Boudicca's tomb was perfumed by an odd incense. As Eivor inhaled the incense, the ghostly apparition of the Iceni warrior who laid there leaned against the sarcophagus.
The ghost thumped her fist on her chest and disappeared. Eivor found a note on the tomb. Tribute to Boudicca
Eivor retrieved the Fallen Hero Greaves and Bracers from two nearby chests.
In a hidden tunnel off the tomb, she found a strange artifact, a metal frame in the shape of a regular dodecahedron. She collected it before leaving.
Final Note
Continuing on, she found a boat stopped in front of a wooden gate, and near it, another weight-dispensing mechanism.
Eivor placed the weight upon the boat and manipulated the counterweights holding the gate shut to allow her passage. Returning to the main hall, she placed the final weight upon the plate, opening the gate.
In the crypt proper, Eivor saw Cassivellaunus' tomb was perfumed by an odd incense. A ghostly apparition of the Briton made itself known, approaching Eivor.
He vanished as quickly as he had appeared. Eivor found a note on the tomb. Tribute to Cassivellaunus
She retrieved the Fallen Hero Breastplate from a nearby chest.
On her way back out, Eivor discovered another mysterious artifact in a small waterfall canyon. She retrieved it and climbed back up to the zipline to make her escape from the flooded caves.
Fewer Traps
Eivor broke the ice and carefully navigated the traps to reach the key on the altar. She climbed back out, escorted the weight through the maze of oil jars, and slid it into position in the main hall. With all four weights in place, the crypt's door opened.
In the crypt proper, Eivor saw Venutius' tomb was perfumed by an odd incense. His ghostly beheaded body appeared, startling her, while his phantasmal head on the sarcophagus began talking.
Both parts of his body dissipated. Eivor found a note on the tomb. Tribute to Venutius
Eivor retrieved the Fallen Hero Helmet from a nearby chest.
On her way back out, she saw another path that led to a small drop off and a blocked zipline. Affixed to the zipline beam with a dagger was another note from Manius. Cavern Purpose
Eivor dropped the short distance to the lower level, broke an ice wall over a cave opening, and discovered another tomb. Inside, a skeleton lay on a stone slab with a note from Eivor's acquaintance Hildiran tucked under its right femur. First Note from Hildiran
Eivor saw another note in a small snow pile against a wall just beyond the skeleton and its stone slab. Second Note from Hildiran
In the same room, Eivor discovered another of the mysterious artifacts, before she turned to leave the icy prison behind her.
Trapped by Hubris
Eivor continued down the path. She found the mechanism dispensing the round weight, then carried it through a tunnel full of lava by hopping across stalagmites, moved shelves to retrieve a prisoner's key from its skeleton in a gibbet above, and unlocked the door leading back. Just below the statues, she set the weight down on the exposed pressure plate. At the main chamber's lowest level was a building carved into the cavern wall. Inside, she blew up a back wall to reveal a movable shelf, which she dropped into the water before the column she needed, escorting it to an elevator and activating the lever to carry them both up. At the top, she shot jars to adjust the counterweights and gain vantage points to shoot down the drawbridge. With the bridge down, she slid the column across, then navigated another room to throw levers and raise two platforms to form another path across. On the other side of the lava, she found a note. Thoughts on the Volcanic Tomb
Escorting the column through, she dropped it down to the room from which she entered these chambers, then brought it back to the main chamber, sliding it onto the second square pressure plate. When she solved her second pressure plate, the lava high above receded, revealing the second plate with a round recess and the fourth part of the puzzle.
At the bottom of the chamber, Eivor passed through another lava tunnel and reached a platform with a counterweight system. She cast stones on top of one of the platforms, raising the other to allow herself to climb up and reach the weight-dispensing mechanism. She found a note near the stones. Verica's Condemnation
Eivor climbed up the platform and dispensed the weight she needed. From her vantage point she threw it back onto the moving platform and jumped down after it, carrying it back to the main chamber and up the stairs before her. She carefully tossed and carried it up the walkways and hanging platforms to place it on the upper plate with a round recess. With all four pressure plates activated, the final lock disengaged and the crypt door raised to offer passage.
In the crypt proper, Eivor saw Verica's tomb was perfumed by an odd incense. The moment Eivor's feet touched the steps leading to the sarcophagus, ghostly blue fire sprang up and transformed the coffin into a funeral pyre. An apparition of the Atrebates warrior who laid there rose from the flames.
He stepped off the pyre and walked to a doorway.
His ghost stopped before a nearby chest and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Eivor retrieved Verica's Sickle from the chest, then continued down the passage beyond it and found another of the mysterious artifacts, before continuing up the main path back to the tomb's entrance.
The Lost Key
She slid below a nearby banner to find more oil jars to blast open the nearby walls. She found a chest of materials and a note. Tribute to Togodomnus
On the opposite wall, she destroyed some boards and found another sealed wall to blast through. On the other side of a crack in the wall, Eivor dropped a tall stone onto a counterweight and blasted through the submerged sealed wall, granting her access to the sewers that contained the lost key. She returned to the locked door and opened the way leading back, sliding the weighted column with her, then climbing up to access the main chamber and drop a tall stone on the counterweight, completing the path to the column's destination. In the waters ahead, two tunnels lay submerged on either side. On the left, Eivor found a flooded maze full of doors and counterweights secured with timeworn pulleys. She severed them with her axe to open the way forward, stopping at an alcove above the water line to replenish her air. Here, she found a chest before continuing back underwater to reach a platform submerged just below the surface.
Eivor destroyed the rope pulley overhead with an arrow, releasing the platform to the surface and allowing her to vault over the spike traps into a bathhouse. Here, she manipulated the counterweights with a tall stone and hopped across to dispense the spherical weight to carry back. In the next chamber over, she slid a shelf onto the counterweight and jumped over the fencing, released another counterweight, and climbed up into an alcove with a key and a note. Ideas for the Flooded Tombs
Retrieving the bathhouse key, Eivor unlocked another tall stone to press onto the counterweight she previously used. She climbed back over, pulled the original stone off the first counterweight, allowing the other's weight to raise it high enough for her to climb out of the bathhouse while carrying the spherical weight. She returned to the main chamber and set it into the round recess. Through the righthand underwater tunnel, Eivor hacked at timeworn pulleys to release counterweights to use as platforms, and shot others with arrows to release more footholds. She easily reached the weight dispenser and completed a usable path to carry it back. Near a covered shed overlooking the water, she found a note. Thoughts on the Flooded Tombs
With an extra toss or two, she ushered the spherical weight back to its destination in the main chamber. With all four weight mechanisms activated, the heavy door leading to the crypt unlocked and raised open.
In the crypt proper, Eivor saw Togodomnus' tomb was perfumed by an odd incense. To her surprise, a ghostly apparition of the Catuvellauni warrior who laid there appeared upside-down near the ceiling, "rising" dripping wet from under a pool of water.
His ghost disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Eivor retrieved Togodomnus' Bearded Axe from a nearby chest, then continued down the passage beyond it and dove into a waterfall pool with more submerged ruins, where she found another of the mysterious artifacts held in the palm of a statue. Eivor picked it up, surfaced from under the pool, then made her way back out of the tomb using a zipline and opening the portcullis leading out.
With all five mysterious artifacts in hand, Eivor entered the depths of Manius's Sanctum. Standing at the map chamber's entrance, she withdrew an artifact and noticed that a ball of energy began moving and humming within the frame.
Her eyes immediately glazed over and she spoke yet another strange word.
A monolith with lines of green energy rose from the floor on the left side of the stairs to the map. Eivor regained her senses, walked up to the slate, and touched it. A mysterious voice spoke over the vault's speaker system.
At the prompt, Eivor's eyes glazed over again and she recited a complete sentence made up from the Isu words she had uttered in each tomb.
She blinked and rubbed her head to again return to her senses and watched the door in the excavation pit activate and open into a larger chamber below lit in blue-green and with a number of platforms extending out from the walls.
She dropped into the vault, leaping from the ledges or climbing down the walls until she reached a platform.
Intrigued, she touched another pillar on the platform she had landed on, activating a large holographic display of an Isu head on the wall before her.
Eivor shook her head.
The hologram blinked and frowned slightly.
The hologram faded away. Looking around, Eivor saw and threw a lever at the platform's edge and unlocked a reflector lens.
She carried it to the corner diagonally opposite and placed it in a pillar, then aimed the reflector beam at an arch keystone to unlock the door and extend a bridge into the station. In the first room, she saw yellow beams at various intervals on the wall or near the floor.
Eivor bypassed the energy beams and entered another room with many reflectors built into short, movable pillars.
She slid or rotated some reflectors on one side of the room, then worked on the other, where she saw more reflectors with flared edge fins.
She loosed arrows at the fins, rotating them to her liking. She solved the puzzle by aiming twin beams of light at targets on pillars before some stairs leading down, opening another gate in the floor. Descending, she entered a large room with more reflectors scattered throughout a small labyrinth on the floor and a raised, square platform in the center surrounded by energy gates.
Eivor solved the puzzle by aligning four light beams into targets on each of the platform's sides. The gates turned off, revealing a lever, which Eivor threw and unlocked a reflector lens ball.
She carried it out to the room with the first puzzle.
Eivor returned to the entry chamber, placed the ball on a pillar near the bridge, and aimed the reflector's beam at an angled part of the ceiling. She then went to the reflector on the landing platform and aimed its beam at the other angled ceiling spot adjacent to the first, unlocking the door and extending another bridge.
Eivor entered another room with moss-covered architecture, more reflectors, and free-floating platforms.
She aimed the light at various targets on the walls to power the hover-pads and ascend to the top of the chamber, where she saw another cubic energy gate. She turned it off by redirecting the light to the gate switch and threw the lever hidden behind it, unlocking another reflector lens. She picked it up and stepped onto a platform that lowered her back to the ground.
She carried the lens back to the entry chamber and also placed it on a pillar near the bridge. She then aimed it and the other two reflectors at three ceiling targets on the connecting wall. As before, a gate opened, a bridge extended, and Eivor entered the station's third wing.
Eivor entered another room with reflectors, but when she solved the puzzle and aimed the light at the target, the floor suddenly dropped out from under her and she fell into an angled duct lined with yellow energy beams she had to pivot around. She landed in a slightly-flooded basement level with reflectors and another cubic energy gate. Solving this puzzle like the other ones lowered the gates, rewarding the final reflector lens, and opened a door out. She found an elevator and rode it up to the entry chamber.
Eivor placed the lens in a pillar near the bridge and aimed the reflector and the other three at the remaining wall with four targets. The door to the station's last wing opened and a bridge extended.
Eivor ran through the halls and ascended many stairs until she reached the station's heart, where a circular platform in a spherical energy shield hung suspended over a chasm in the middle of the room.
Eivor navigated her way past yellow energy beams and across floating platforms to free-standing columns to solve the puzzle by aiming three beams at their respective targets along the platform's edge. This lowered the shield and revealed a golden sword embedded mid-way down its blade in a column. Eivor climbed up onto the platform and inspected the sword. The station lights dimmed.
Rah Cel'eze's holographic body materialized before her.
A hologram appeared of Hildr lifting the blade, against early humans dressed in furs.
The hologram altered to show a man in a wolf skin cap re-enacting the story to some onlookers. Eivor looked dubiously at him for describing the sword that way, yet still was struck by awe by her surroundings.
Rah Cel'eze paused in sad reminiscence, then turned to face the other direction, where another hologram appeared of an angry Hildr venting her grievances at him.
Hildr's hologram waved her arm to indicate invisible surroundings, shook her fist at Rah Cel'eze, then faded.
Rah Cel'eze stepped towards the sword and motioned to it.
Eivor cracked her knuckles and rolled her shoulders in preparation.
She put her foot on the pedestal and used it for leverage to draw the sword.
She inspected the sword and laughed in approval.
She gave it a slight flourish and saw energy dance out from the blade.
His hologram disappeared, but Eivor took no notice, still captivated by the sword.
The background hum of energy faded. With no more energy powering the station, the entire complex powered down, leaving Eivor in pitch darkness.
She then returned to the station's main chamber, using a gravitational platform as a lift to reach the surface. |

While exploring Svartálfaheimr,[39] Havi found strange portals near the base of the dams at Midalstífla, Gomul-stifla, and Austri-stifla that showed moving ice blocks and Yggdrasil's roots on the other side.
Despite Havi's boast, the portal grew increasingly colder the further he walked in, draining his health and eventually forcing him back.
After collecting the scattered Jotun Armor Set pieces held by five of Suttungr's Outriders and equipping the gear, he returned to one of the portal locations and entered it. Emerging on the other side, he came to a cliff surrounded by thick fog. A female jötunn stood near the edge with her back to him but turned around upon hearing his footsteps. She inspected the newcomer.
Drawing a greatsword, she engaged Havi in single combat. After Havi wounded her enough times, she conjured two apparitions of herself for Havi to defend against. Following a lengthy duel, during which Riekr and her doubles regularly used ice blasts and teleported for surprise attacks, he defeated these phantasms and killed Riekr. Inspecting her corpse, Havi retrieved the Jotnar Cleaver. |

After Ezio Auditore collected four Codex pages that were left in containers in and around Monteriggioni,[40] he visited his sister Claudia in the Villa Auditore's main room next to his uncle Mario's study on the lower floor.
 He then proceeded to an architect waiting for him in the room.
He showed Ezio a list of shops in the town in need of repairs and renovation. After ordering the renovation of a building, Ezio visited his sister again in order to check the town's progress.
She then turned the record book on the table, allowing his brother to consult it. Ezio eventually finished his revision and Claudia turned the book to her, bidding him farewell and starting to write on it again.
After some time, Ezio returned to Mario's study.
 He pulled a lever within the bookshelf in his study. It opened to reveal a passage beyond, which led to a cellar.
 Over the next few years, Ezio collected all the six Assassin Seals from various Assassin Tombs throughout the country and put them in their respective places under the statues of the six Assassins.[41] With every Seal he returned, a bar lock associated with each Assassins' respective symbol slid away from the gate that sealed away Altaïr's armor. Once Ezio put the last seal in its place, the gate quickly dropped into the floor without the locks to hold it up, and the pedestal with Altaïr's statue and armor lowered to chest height. Ezio approached it and reached for the gear.
Ezio touched the armor's refined metal and gathered its pieces to take to the Villa's armory, where he put it on.

After Ezio collected 50 more feathers throughout Italy, he again returned to the Villa and deposited them in Maria's box. An unresponsive Maria sat by the dresser and only noticed Ezio beside her when he closed the box lid. He held out his hands and she clasped them as she stood up, before they shared an embrace in memory of their lost family.[42]
In gratitude, Maria gave Ezio a cape with the House of Auditore family crest. |

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ The symbol is commonly called "Odin's Illusionary Rune" or other similar names and is held by modern occult circles to have been used by berserkrs for its magical properties tied to deception and illusion. All these notions are incorrect. Its elaborate design marks it as an Icelandic magical stave from the 16th to 17th century, long after the Viking Age runic carvings. While famously recorded by the Icelandic author Jochum Eggertsson as "Delusion Stave Óðinn" on page 71 of his 1940 grimoire Sorcerer's Screed: The Icelandic Book of Magic Spells, he only says it can be "used at will". The symbol's earliest known appearance is in an unidentified 1676 manuscript retranscribed by author Finnbogi Bernódusson in his 1949 work Galdrastafir, where it is captioned with "Missýningastafur о́ðinn engin forskrift", or "missing galdrastafur Odin, no description", indicating its intended purpose was unknown and not definitively tied to mystical camouflage.

The Rune of Odin on the Arith Härger YouTube channel .
