Traitors must suffer or They do not deserve punishment?

Decide the fate of Ulf and his companions in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Learn the consequences of choosing 'Traitors must suffer' or 'They do not deserve punishment' in the Road to Hamartia quest.

Alright, so you've reached a pretty significant choice near the end of the 'Road to Hamartia' quest in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Halfdan discovers that Ulf and a couple of his buddies have been skimming loot and hiding it from him. Halfdan sees this as a total betrayal, and you get to weigh in with a dialogue choice.

You've got two main paths here:

• “Traitors must suffer.”: If you pick this, things get violent. You and Halfdan will end up fighting Ulf and his crew. Spoiler alert: they all get wiped out, and Halfdan shows absolutely no mercy.
• “They do not deserve punishment.”: This sounds a bit softer, right? Well, Halfdan still ends up killing Ulf, but he lets Ulf's companions live. It's a slightly less brutal outcome, but still not exactly a happy ending for Ulf.

Basically, this choice determines whether Ulf and his entire group face the axe, or if just Ulf himself is executed while his accomplices get to live another day. Think about what kind of leader you want Eivor to be – ruthless or slightly more forgiving, even in the face of betrayal.
