Eivor saw a male version of herself as Odin, with a patch over the eye. She stood up and walked towards the shore facing her settlement while her other self followed.

==Behind the scenes==
Narrative Director [[Darby McDevitt]] wrote this scene to differ whether playing as male or female as another way to confirm the canonical female gender of Eivor.{{cite}}
This memory is unique in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' in that it differs drastically depending on whether the player character is the male or female version of Eivor. If the cutscene is started as female Eivor, it will show her conversing with a vision of Odin—depicted as her male self—who remains silent; if started as male Eivor, then Odin will be the one speaking while Eivor remains silent. In both scenarios, Odin is explicitly identified as the "male" Eivor, further confirming Eivor's canonical female gender. Whichever gender the player uses, the other Eivor will be presented wearing the "superior" tier of the [[Raven Clan Armor|Raven Clan armor set]], regardless of how much or little the player has upgraded the set.

While [[Ubisoft]]'s own website<ref>{{Ubisoft|url=en-us/help/assassins-creed-valhalla/gameplay/article/accessing-the-last-chapter-in-assassins-creed-valhalla/000103652|text=Accessing ''The Last Chapter'' in Assassin's Creed Valhalla|archivedate=20230531143305}}</ref> lists instructions for accessing the Last Chapter of Eivor's saga, much of the information is slightly misleading and omits some essential details, with one point being completely inaccurate. The website states that players need to have "Completed the main storyline by forming an alliance with all territories of England, completed the storyline of [[Asgard]] and [[Jötunheimr|Jötunheim]], killed all targets of the [[Order of the Ancients]] and unveil[ed] the [[Alfred the Great|leader]]," and "[[A New Home|upgraded]] [your] settlement to level 5 and built the [[A River to Raid|Jomsviking Hall]]."
In actuality, the only requirements to access "Last Goodbyes" are: completing "[[Reporting on Hamtunscire]]", which denotes the end of the main story and is itself a prerequisite to two of the other requirements; completing "[[Cheating Fate]]", the final memory of the Asgard story arc—which does not technically complete until returning to Asgard after completing the succedent Jotunheim arc—then waking up to return to England; fully completing "[[Breaking the Order]]" by giving [[Hytham]] all of the [[Order of the Ancients medallion]]s, including the [[The Poor Fellow-Soldier|final]] medallion; and completing "[[The Forge and the Flame]]", which only unlocks after completing both the final pledge to [[Hampshire|Hamtunscire]] as well as renovating Ravensthorpe to Settlement Renown level 5, then speaking to [[Gunnar]]. If "Cheating Fate" is last in this list, "Last Goodbyes" will unlock mid-conversation with [[Valka]] as part of wrapping up [[Bound to Fate]], thus the latter is not technically required but will complete along the way. Similarly, "Breaking the Order" is flagged as complete as soon as Eivor hands over the medallions, and "Last Goodbyes" will unlock mid-conversation with Hytham.
As such, the Jomsviking Hall is not required at all, and much like the other side content buildings on the eastern side of the creek running through Ravensthorpe, its construction does not increment into the Settlement Renown mechanic. In fact, the player is not even required to create their game profile's personal [[Jomsvikings|Jomsviking]], which brings [[Vagn]] to the settlement.
Additionally, if the pledge to [[Vinland]] is left until after completing the pledge to Hamtunscire, the player need not even [[Reporting on Vinland|complete]] that by speaking to [[Randvi]]. As soon as [[Gorm Kjotvesson|Gorm]] is killed and his medallion collected, the player may proceed with killing the remaining Order members. In summary, "Cheating Fate", "Breaking the Order", and "The Forge and the Flame"—and their prerequisites by extension—are the only completed quests the game checks for before enabling "Last Goodbyes".

Eivor sat down on a log across Ravensthorpe and took a deep breath.
Eivor:Odin... I feel you close... an uproar of memories, stretching far into the past. I have silenced you and your influence. But I know you have so much to say.
Eivor saw a male version of herself as Odin, with a patch over the eye. She stood up and walked towards the shore facing her settlement while her other self followed.

A male version of Eivor sat down on a log across Ravensthorpe and took a deep breath.
Odin:Eivor... I am still with you, drifting at the edge of your memory.
He looked to Eivor, who had sat down besides him. She stood up and walked towards the shore facing her settlement with him following.
