Understanding Sigurd’s Strikes
To avoid betraying Sigurd, it’s essential to understand the five major choices that can affect your relationship with him. These choices include taking or leaving the treasure, romancing Randvi, completing the Fulke mission, fighting with Dag, and siding with Sigurd in an argument with two NPCs in the longhouse.
Navigating Relationships and Choices

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I stop betraying Sigurd?
To stop betraying Sigurd, leave the cargo behind, which maintains your loyalty with Sigurd. At some point in the game, you can choose to begin a romance with Randvi, but you must wait until they are separated to avoid impacting your loyalty with Sigurd.
Q2: Is it better for Sigurd to stay or leave?
Sigurd will want to leave the treasure as-is as tribute for King Styrbjorn. If you want to get the best ending, ignore your greedy impulses and choose the “We leave the resources for Styrbjorn” option.
Q3: Can I punch Sigurd and still get the good ending?
Punching both Basim and Sigurd will lower your loyalty with Sigurd and affect the ending. If you choose not to punch Basim or Sigurd, then your loyalty will stay the same.
Q4: Can I romance Randvi and still get the good ending?
The original guide warned about getting a bad ending due to romancing Randvi. This is certainly possible, but it is avoidable; players can romance Randvi and get a good ending.
Q5: How many strikes can you have against Sigurd?
Remember that getting three strikes with Sigurd will cause him to leave England behind, giving players the worst ending.
Q6: Is Randvi cheating on Sigurd?
If Sigurd finds out about the affair, he will be less likely to accompany Eivor in the “good ending.” So while it is technically Randvi doing the adultery, this indiscretion can actually have a massive impact on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s story.
Q7: Does Sigurd break up with Randvi?
By this point, Sigurd and Randvi have divorced, no matter what, and so there is no worry about messing up the ending.
Q8: Should Eivor sleep with Randvi?
If Eivor loves Randvi and has haggled with their conscience enough to make this choice, the benefits of romance likely outweigh the drawbacks.
Q9: Is it better to be with Petra or Randvi?
Although players might have plenty of choices, Petra is probably the best romance choice that players can make, due to her story, and the natural progression of both characters as they learn more about each other, and work together.
Q10: What are Sigurd’s 5 strikes?
These are the choices: Take/Leave the treasure – Leave treasure for good ending. Romance with Randvi – Do not romance her for good ending.
Q11: What happens if I betray Sigurd?
If you choose negatively for three of these five, then Sigurd will leave England during the final mission, A Brother’s Keeper.
Q12: How do I stop Sigurd from leaving?
If you have four or five negative choices against Sigurd, if Eivor asks Sigurd to return to England, he will still say no.
Q13: What happens if you kiss Randvi when Sigurd is back?
Those who romance Randvi immediately after her Taken for Granted quest will net a strike and a pretty bad tongue-lashing from Sigurd.
Q14: Can you romance Randvi without betraying Sigurd?
This is certainly possible, but it is avoidable; players can romance Randvi and get a good ending.
Q15: What happens if Eivor punches Sigurd?
Punching both Basim and Sigurd will lower your loyalty with Sigurd and affect the ending. If you choose not to punch Basim or Sigurd, then your loyalty will stay the same.
