Ivarr Died Well, Ivarr Died Badly, or He Wanted Death?

Decide Ivarr's fate in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Learn how giving or refusing his axe impacts Ubba's reaction and future quests.

Alright, let's talk about Ivarr's final moments and how your choices here really shake things up later on. This part is all about how you handle Ivarr's request for his axe and what you tell Ubba about it. It might seem small, but trust me, it matters!

Basically, there are two main paths: you either give Ivarr his axe, or you refuse him. And within each of those, there are three ways you can describe his end to Ubba.

If you gave Ivarr his axe:

• Ivarr died badly: So, you gave him the axe, but if you tell Ubba he died badly, expect him to be pretty cheesed off later. He'll be angry that you lied to him about how things went down.
• Ivarr died well: On the flip side, if you gave him the axe and then told Ubba he died well, Ubba will actually be grateful. Honesty is the best policy, apparently!
• Ivarr wanted death: This is where you can be a bit more philosophical. If you gave him the axe and tell Ubba that Ivarr *wanted* death, Ubba will be grateful. You're essentially telling him that Ivarr got the send-off he desired, heading to Valhalla.

If you refused Ivarr his axe:

• Ivarr died badly: Now, if you *didn't* give him the axe, but you tell Ubba he died badly, Ubba will be grateful. This is because you're being honest about the grim reality of the situation.
• Ivarr died well: Here's where it gets tricky. If you refused him the axe but tell Ubba he died well, Ubba will be angry. You've lied to him about Ivarr's final moments.
• Ivarr wanted death: This is the biggest lie. If you refused him the axe but tell Ubba that Ivarr wanted to go to Valhalla and that you sent him there, Ubba will be angry. You're fabricating a heroic end that didn't happen, and he knows it.

So, as you can see, how you handle Ivarr's end and what you report back to Ubba has direct consequences. It's all about honesty and how you frame Ivarr's final moments, whether he got his wish or not. Choose wisely, as it affects Ubba's trust in you down the line!
