How the Of Blood and Bonds mission and Faravid and Halfdan’s various options work in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Eivor must determine if Faravid is a traitor in Chapter 5 of The Sayings of Halfdan, quest Of Blood and Bonds.

Eivor receives a summons from a sick Halfdan Ragnarsson, who learned of what happened in Jorvik (War in the North).

With Halfdan’s forces at war with the Picts, he needs Eivor’s help. After arriving at Donecaestre, Halfdan asks Eivor to determine if one of his trusted allies, Faravid, is a traitor who is trying to kill him.

Eivor agrees to join Faravid’s warband in Alortun to drive out the Picts (Honor Cuts Two Edges) in an effort to gain Faravid’s trust.

Tell Faravid he doubts you, I’m here to fight and you doubt me in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla explained

Throughout the story, Eivor is torn between his loyalty to Halfdan and his friendship with Faravid. Eivor has the option to confess to Faravid in Alortun:

  • He doubts you.
  • I’m here to fight.
  • Doubt me?

Choosing to tell Faravid the truth about Halfdan’s suspicions makes Faravid uneasy, and lying to him only makes the deception worse, but Faravid trusts you.

Tell Faravid your secret is safe, I can’t hide this or let the gods decide in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla explained

Together, Faravid and Eivor take down a Pictish fortress. After the battle, Faravid reveals his plan to attack an important Pictish fort, Magnis. Faravid believes that he can do it without Halfdan’s help.

Eivor is given the option:

  • Your secret is safe.
  • I can’t hide this.
  • Let the gods decide.

Choosing “Your secret is safe” keeps Faravid on your good side. The other two will demonstrate your loyalty to Halfdan.

Tell Halfdan Faravid he is planning an attack or is honorable in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla explained

Back in Donecaestre, Eivor has the option of confessing to Halfdan what Faravid is doing:

  • Faravid is planning an attack.
  • Faravid is honorable.

Telling Halfdan the truth about Faravid’s plan increases Eivor’s loyalty.

If you lie to Halfdan, he doesn’t believe you and wants to know where Faravid is going.

In their conversation, Eivor mentions that perhaps it is not Faravid who is trying to poison him, but Moira, a healer who makes a drink that Halfdan drinks daily. To clear her name, Halfdan sends Eivor to find Moira (The Road to Hamartia), who convinces Eivor of her innocence.

Explanation of the consequences of telling Halfdan that you are crazy or fighting Faravid in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

To defeat the Picts, Faravid asks for the help of King Ricsige of Jorvik (This son of Jorvik). At first, Ricsige rejects the offer until Eivor delivers a fake order from Halfdan. King Ricsige agrees to send his fyrd to fight the Picts and Eivor and Faravid prepare for battle (Honor’s Hubris).

At Magnis Fortress, Eivor, Faravid and Halfdan come face to face with the Pictish army. There they discover that King Ricsige has declared himself king of Northumbria with the help of the Picts. After a fierce battle, Eivor defeats King Ricsige.

Back in Jorvik, Halfdan proclaims himself king of Northumbria. At the coronation ceremony, Halfdan suffers a coughing fit and discovers that the cups he has been drinking from are made of lead.

This results in a final confrontation between Eivor and Faravid (Of Blood and Bonds).

Eivor has a few options from the start:

  • You’re crazy, Halfdan.
  • Stand down or fight me, Faravid.

Choosing “You are crazy, Halfdan” leads to Faravid’s exile and Halfdan will not secure an alliance with you.

Choosing “Retreat or fight me, Faravid” leads to a fight between Eivor and Faravid.

After Eivor wins, Halfdan executes Faravid on the spot. Halfdan then pledges allegiance to the Raven Clan.

When it comes to other story options in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, we also have pages on Soma’s traitor, killing or sparing Leofrith, killing or sparing Reud, taking or leaving resources in England, whether to hit Basim, tell Ubba the truth about The Death of Ivarr, the vote for the next Ealdorman of Lincolnscire and who should be the next Jarl of Snotinghamscire.
