Layla completing the Kildesbig Anomaly

Animus Anomalies were genetic mnemonic data fragments scattered around the virtual representations of both Anglo-Saxon England and Hordafylke, Norway rendered by the Animus HR-8.5.

Layla Hassan was able to locate several of them while reliving the memories of the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir. Each Anomaly involved a digital platforming-puzzle inside the simulation that Layla had to complete. Nearing the completion of each Anomaly, the echoes of ancient voices could be heard.

Origins

The Animus Anomalies were created by the Isu Loki through his reincarnation, Basim Ibn Ishaq, during his time trapped within the Yggdrasil supercomputer which he then sent to the Assassins via his mysterious audio file. They contained encrypted fragments of Loki's own memory during the Great Catastrophe and during the solving of the puzzles the voices of Loki and his lover Angrboda could be heard.[1] Collecting all ten of the fragments pieced together the complete memory which amazed Layla and her allies Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane who helped her decode it.[2] Complete and unfettered Isu memories straight from the source were a rarity, with only one other being known to the Assassins at that time.[3]

Anomaly locations

Each Animus Anomaly was located sporadically with no significance to any particular location. Approaching within close proximity to the Anomaly caused the simulation session to become unstable and glitch. Upon interacting with said Anomalies, the simulation would pause itself and Layla was free to complete the puzzle. The Anomalies were represented on the Animus map function by a icon resembling the Nabla symbol with the letter "Λ" inside.[1]
