It was more difficult as he tried to extinguish those flames, but I always carry a torch.ĭue to his mental health issues, I chose to lock him up instead of kill him. Only wearing him down to stagger him, then pushing him into flame pits, hurt him. He was in a maddened state, almost invincible. The final fight with him was very unique. Even after I saved the Queen from a fiery death, she begged me to spare the King’s life. He wasn’t simply an evil man, but believed himself possessed. His need for his illegitimate son Bernard seemed to drive him crazy and he almost burned his Queen ,Richardis (she was not the boy’s mother). Over the course of the game, his character displayed a lot more depth. My first impression of him was a philandering fat King. The King of France, Charles the Fat, was a very interesting character. The story wasn’t phenomenal, but it was decent. AC Valhalla Siege of Paris DLC Story King Charles the Fat

Something like resistance fighters providing scouting info, extra backup, leaving me weapons caches, etc. I’d love to see those missions more story intense where success adds tangible benefits to main missions. Not sure if that even matters for the end Siege, but if it did then I didn’t notice a difference.

Apart from some cut scenes with Pierre, it didn’t feel like all those missions made any. In the end, I feel liked this part of the DLC was a big missed opportunity. That included things like weapons training, upgrades to team members, less chance of detection, extra supplies for me to start, etc. Those I spent on upgrades for these missions. There were points earned for mission completion and protecting team members. They weren’t hard, but became rinse and repeat after the first few.Įach mission added to my Resistance influence. These missions include small back stories, but boil down to killing a bunch of people or stealing something. Team missions simply include a few AI resistance fighters. The missions came in both solo and team variety. After I met the Resistance leader, Pierre, I could pickup contracts to help the Resistance. In this DLC, it’s the resistance I helped build up. Viva La Resistance Rebel Missions Rebel Missions List with PierreĪC Valhalla Siege of Paris does not include settlement building like England, or Trade post building like Ireland. I was a bit bored with my dual wielded axes, so I took the grim reaper weapon for a spin. Keeping with the plague theme, the game introduced a new weapon type, the scythe. I enjoyed lobbing those arrows at unsuspecting groups of enemies. There was even an ability to put rat bait on an arrow. The rats were a bit annoying, but the developers used them sparingly enough. There were times I could plug those holes or uncover plugged holes to unleash the rats on enemies. The only option was to swing weapons at the them or burn them towards holes in the wall or floor. They were invincible and whittled down my health rapidly. Plague Rats and the Reaper’s Scythe Rat SwarmsĪ very unique part of AC Valhalla Siege of Paris were the plague rats. Hearing French accents and the appearance of the soldiers were a welcome change, but again very similar to what I experienced in England. Not so much in the design of the city, but it just seemed bigger. Paris, on the other hand, was a bit more unique. It’s different from England, but could easily be mistaken for a new part of the English map. There was a lot of contrast between areas ravaged by the plague or battles and fields of flowers.īurnt buildings and slums were surrounded by an abundance of blue and red flowers. The look of France was pretty close to that of England. AC Valhalla Siege of Paris Plague and Flowers View of ParisĪs I mentioned in the outset, it was a bit hard to go from the emerald green fields of Ireland to dark and dreary France. Dark and dreary with a side of depressing.

It probably did not help that Paris was set during the plague. The previous DLC was hard to follow with the green of Ireland and druid culture. After playing through it, I had fun, but it’s not an essential part of Eivor’s story. I enjoyed the Wrath of the Druids DLC, so no doubt I wanted to play AC Valhalla Siege of Paris DLC.
