Much like the previous AC Odyssey, AC Valhalla will have plenty of choices for you to make, and each has its consequences. Check out our AC Valhalla Choices and its Consequences guide to ensure you don’t do something you regret. Some of the choices don’t really matter, but some will affect the game’s ending for you.
As you can see, AC Valhalla is pretty much a non-linear RPG. That means, in AC Valhalla, you have a few endings. The endings differ based on your choices throughout the game. We group these choices into two, major choices and minor choices.
The AC Valhalla choices that we grouped into major choices is the one that will determine your game’s ending. Check out our guide on how to get the best ending in AC Valhalla. On the other hand, minor AC Valhalla’s choices won’t significantly impact the story. These minor choices might only slightly change a single quest.
Before we continue, I have to give you some warning. That is, AC Valhalla won’t give you any sign or clue as to which choices are the major ones. So that being known, we recommend you to quick-save before making a conversation.
