Who to Choose Between Halfdan Or Faravid in AC Valhalla? – Easy Guide

While playing AC Valhalla, sooner or later you’ll have to choose between Faravid or Halfdan. Although, a difficult choice to make, choosing to side between Halfdan or Faravid might decide the fate of Eivor’s war against King Alfred.

Wise decision can guarantee Eivor’s alliance with the Eurviscire clan while a foolish one might lead to Eivor losing some possible backing in battles of the near future.

The mission titled “Of Blood and Bonds” will trigger once you find Halfdan in the Royal Hall of Jorvik while you are trying to make an alliance with the Eurviscire troops. A cut scene will start the celebrations at the hall.

Halfdan’s toast to Eivor

Halfdan will raise a toast to his new alliance with Eivor and upon sipping his drink, he will cough and drop his cup. Moira will investigate the cup and find that it is made out of lead. The same lead that once drove the Romans mad with every sip of their drinks.

Halfdan will immediately accuse Faravid of poisoning him and the two will argue leaving Eivor to choose between the two.

1. The Two Choices

The Choices

Now, let’s briefly explain the two options at hand so you can make a definitive decision.

I. Choice 1: You are insane, Halfdan

If you choose to stand beside Faravid, Halfdan gets extremely mad and banishes Faravid from his lands. You also lose a possible alliance with Halfdan by siding with Faravid.

Choosing You are insane, Halfdan

Although, it can also be noted that while you are escorting Faravid out of the halls and bidding farewell, he does not answer your question of whether he was the actual perpetrator behind the lead poisoning cup.

It can be assumed that he in fact was a traitor and chose to keep his silence.

This can make you question, whether you were right about your decision, which brings us to the other option.

II. Choice 2: Stand down or fight me, Faravid

Choosing to side with Halfdan, you as Eivor accuse Faravid of treason and defeat him in the fight. In rage of getting betrayed, Halfdan slams a hammer on Faravid’s head, killing him in the process.

Choosing Stand down or fight me, Faravid

After Faravid’s death, Halfdan gifts you a symbol of friendship which confirms Eivor’s strong alliance with Eurviscire and Halfdan’s clan.

Just a tip: While fighting Faravid, try to attack his head or the right foot. Attacking these weak points will stun him and you’ll be able to land some combo attacks.

But, you must be racking your brains thinking about the best option to choose between the two.

2. Who Should I Choose Between Halfdan Or Faravid?

You should choose the “Stand down or fight me, Faravid” option and side with Halfdan. Halfdan will kill Faravid for committing treason and gift Eivor a symbol of peace, strengthening the bond of their alliance.

The Good Choice

This is the right option to choose as you will not only gain a strong alliance with Eurviscire, but you can also stop worrying about the Eurviscire clan and go to search for other allies.

Also, Faravid does not confirm or deny the fact about the lead poisoning which can presumably be taken as a sign that he in-fact did intend to poison Halfdan and truly committed treason.
