Gudrun or Holger, Who’s Correct? Should You Support Sigurd? AC Valhalla

Picking between Gudrun or Holger is one of the AC: Valhalla’s many choices that oversee the main storyline. This choice is unique because it has another choice embedded within it.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is, in essence, a story-driven RPG that encompasses choice-based gameplay at its core. As Eivor, we are tasked with many story-altering choices during the gameplay. In the Lincolnshire arc, we encounter a dispute between Gudrun and Holger and are tasked to resolve it without our Jarl.

1. Should you choose Gudrun or Holger in AC Valhalla?

Choosing between Gudrun and Holger doesn’t matter in AC Valhalla because the choice sequence will be interrupted by Sigurd. Sigurd will storm in and demand to know why he was not called. It is recommended for players to choose “I support Sigurd’s judgment” to reach the true ending of the story. 

As Sigurd the Jarl is confined to his quarters, Randvi asks Eivor for his ever-powerful choice-making ability to decide upon a local dispute. Gudrun and Holger have been engaged in a heated debate about the ownership of sailcloth, and we can hear both sides before deciding on the matter.

Things take a turn at this point, as we have not seen Sigurd in such a bad mood before! Eivor was only filling in his position of Jarl, but he seemed shaken as though it was a coup. Then, we are introduced to yet another choice within a choice regarding Sigurd’s judgment.

2. Should You Support Sigurd’s Judgement in AC: Valhalla?

Agreeing with Sigurd’s judgment will please him and count towards the true ending in AC: Valhalla. However, disagreeing with him will count as a strike and push you away from getting the true ending.

After interrupting the session, Sigurd will take his seat and declare he doesn’t need to hear any more bickering. He would find Holder guilty, claiming his deceitful past has pushed him to a certain infamous status.

Not only is Holger immediately found as the perpetrator, but he is also supposed to pay 30 times the original price of the sailcloth, while Gudrun only demanded the original price. At this point, we are presented with a choice to either agree with Sigurd or disagree with his choice.

Once you agree with him, Sigurd will say that his decisions should be made exactly as he said and will leave looking pleased. On the other hand, if you disagreed with his judgment, you are in for a long templar-esque lecture from him.

Even though the sequence felt like seeing Sigurd on a power trip and the sentence he served could have been a tad lighter, Holger has been caught similarly before. This was just the last straw, and seeing him answer for his actions felt like a nice change.
