We are kind of late with this but today we are going to analyze the Children of Danu group and especially the Mythological Ending of the Wrath of the Druids DLC of Assassin's Creed Valhalla!

In the video we are going to discuss the Children of Danu cult and how they permeate most of the story of the DLC while still lacking a number of explanations and context to them before moving on to the full on mythology part of the DLC, its dedicated ending and the several issues connected to it.

We are going to specifically analyze the Balor fight and we are going to share why we believe that in this case the recent push towards mythology failed in its purpose while it also potentially defied an attempt by the Montreal studio to respond on a specific type of feedback by hardcore fans.
