Should Eivor or Oswald Fight Rued?

Decide if Eivor or Oswald should fight Rued in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Wedding Horns quest. Learn the consequences for Finnr and Rued's fate.

Alright, so you've reached a pretty significant choice in the 'Wedding Horns' quest: should Eivor step in and fight Rued, or should Oswald handle it himself? This isn't just about who gets the glory; it has some real consequences for your crew and how the story plays out.

Let's break down what happens either way.

Oswald Fights…

If you decide to encourage Oswald to fight Rued, you can rest easy knowing he'll win this one. It's actually pretty satisfying to watch him take down Rued. However, there's a catch: if Oswald fights Rued, you will NOT be able to recruit Finnr as a crew member for your longship. Instead, Finnr will feel loyal to Oswald and pledge his service to him after Oswald banishes Rued.

Eivor Fights…

On the flip side, if you choose to fight Rued yourself by saying, "Let me fight on your behalf," it'll be a pretty straightforward fight for you. Honestly, it's not as dramatic as watching Oswald handle it. But, the big upside here is that Eivor fighting Rued ensures Finnr joins your crew. Plus, this choice means Rued dies, rather than just being banished.

So, the main thing to consider is whether you want Finnr on your longship or if you're okay with Oswald taking the lead and Finnr staying with him.
