So many moments in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are inspiring, dark, and philosophical. There is history, authoritarianism, religion, and culture all hanging in the balance; the gravity of these subjects and themes can’t be understated. But that’s doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a good laugh. Specifically, a good laugh at the game’s protagonist, Eivor.

Eivor has so many inconsistencies, enigmas, and confusing decisions that it’s impossible not to crack a few jokes. And what’s the best way that the internet likes to joke? Memes. So let’s scour the internet and look around for the funniest memes about Eivor that the community has come up with so far.

10 That’s Quite The Downgrade

The combat systems have arguably improved over the course of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, but the protagonists sure didn’t. While previous assassins have given the gift of eternal life and collected pieces of Eden, Eivor does just about the opposite.

I mean, literally coming face-to-face with a murderous dictator who straight up tells you he’s about to establish the Templar Order and he’s completely defenseless and YOU LET HIM LIVE? Eivor, what the heck was that about?

9 Please Stop

As Eivor waits for an opportunity to crack the most confirmed assassin kills list, it might be a good idea to practice. No, not practice killing people. Practice walking up the stairs without trying to jump up and grab something that doesn’t exist.

It’s a plague on any live streamer who is trying to get to an area on particularly uneven terrain. More than one account has been banned for hurling expletives at Eivor’s poor walking and climbing skills.

8 Whoops

Players will be occupied with finding Nordic mythological references in the game and that’s just fine. Because if they start paying attention to what Eivor is doing in the main plot, it can drive a person to madness.

Granted, Eivor didn’t have the advantage of a crystal ball… oh wait, nevermind, the seer explicitly explains that the plan will go wrong. And it’s made all the more awkward that Eivor gives the game’s primary antagonist a big ol’ thumbs up at the end.

7 If Only They Would Get To Know Us

The series has kept some things and let others go, but it’s hard to think of any other assassin invading a foreign country and taking over with extreme violence against the locals.

Stereotypes and prejudices are always wrong. But you have to admit there is something humorous about a Saxon like Tewdwr talking to Eivor about preconceived notions of the Danes… which, in Eivor’s case, are all absolutely true.

6 Let’s Go Over This One More Time

Certain mechanics are iconic in Ubisoft games, but total failure is only true in a handful. When Eivor manages to unite all of England against Aelfred, it appears that victory is only a few mere seconds away.

And then we come to the last stage of Eivor’s master plan which is apparently to show up at a location chosen by the enemy. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! It’s like surrounding a mouse with traps and then opening the door behind it afterward.

5 I Think She’s Taken

Some of the most dangerous templars in Assassin’s Creed can make the player fall in love with them. Thankfully, Eivor’s desire for Randvi is not a templar trap, so that’s a plus. But just about everything else is a serious red flag.

Sigurd is already grappling with issues of his own due to Tyr, his other identity, manifesting control inside of his body. So maybe it’s a particularly bad time to have an affair with his wife. Right Eivor? …Eivor?

4 How The Mighty Have Fallen

Most of the Assassin’s Creed games take multiple gaming sessions to get through, but this game feels a little longer than it actually is thanks to Eivor’s decisions. Instead of playing a freedom fighter that kills tyrants, gamers get Eivor.

And Eivor plans to install authorities, not to usurp them. So instead of liberating people, you end up placing people on thrones who, within Eivor’s lifetime, will eventually side with Aelfred and kick the Danes back to Norway. The weight of that fact really adds to the grind.

3 That’s Not Gonna Happen

Oof, that quote aged like skim milk. Many times throughout the game, a confident Eivor tells Aelfred and company that their days are numbered, that raven wings will beat them into submission and all of England will recognize Viking rule.

There’s only one problem with that prediction; gamers have the power of hindsight. Anybody that goes into the game after cracking open a history book or doing a browser search isn’t exactly in suspense over whether this plan will work. It gets bad quickly after Eivor’s boasts.

2 Odd Choice

It’s funny that Basim and Sigurd have figured out their past identities as Loki and Tyr. But somehow, Eivor has no recollection of being Havi. No matter how often Havi speaks into Eivor’s mind, the message just doesn’t get across.

Not only that, but Eivor foils Odin’s Valhalla and betrays the previous self. Eivor absolutely made the right call here, truth is more important than an artificial afterlife. But, strangely, Eivor despised this afterlife when it was Eivor’s own identity that created it.

1 Hurry It Up

Everyone will relate to this one. Anybody who times out Eivor’s 100-meter dash time will see that there are elementary school track meets that would laugh at such an attempt. Eivor is slower than slow and it makes England take that much longer to get through.

Thank goodness there are mounts, but even these aren’t as fast as today’s steeds. Was everyone slow as molasses back then? Or are Eivor and the mount just being really, really careful not to fall over their own feet?
