Falling from such height will cost Eivor about 1/3 of health bar, and the fight will then move to the lower level of the hill.

Go to the feast hall in Quatford to talk to the bishop about what happened during the assault. Ubba will be there to ask if his brother died a worthy death. You can answer this question in the following ways.

  1. Ivarr died well: you tell Ubba that his brother died like a warrior in full glory. Ubba will find that without Ivarr there will finally be peace and that he will meet his brother in Valhalla;
  2. Ivarr died badly: you say he died defending his lies and it was not a good death. Ubba will say that he knew his brother well and knows how rough he was. He will swallow this difficult news and state that he will meet his brother in Valhalla;
  3. He wanted death: you tell Ubba that Ivarr wanted a glorious death in battle and you gave it to him. Ubba will thank you for this and say that he will meet his brother in Valhalla again.

When Ubba finds out that you refused his brother Valhalla and then lied that you did not, he will be very unhappy. Later, he will appear in Ravensthorpe, which will end in a fist fight between him and Eivor. After you defeat him, Ubba will ask if Eivor will also refuse him Valhalla. Eivor's answer will satisfy Ubba and say that the next time you meet you will be friends again.
