The trials await for me in Hellblade | Part 4 | Live
9This was my Birthday stream of Hellblade Senuas sacrifice.
Inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture, the game follows Senua, a Pict warrior who must make her way to Helheim by defeating otherworldly entities and facing their challenges, in order to rescue the soul of her dead lover from the goddess Hela.
Hellblade’s main story focuses on the experiences of someone with a very intense mental illness, so a lot of the imagery is up for interpretation as to the meaning behind Senua’s journey. Yet, much of the story of Hellblade is in learning about what happened before the very distorted events of the game.
Senua is a warrior from a Pict tribe in Orkney, Scotland, around 900 AD. After her lover, Dillion, is killed, she believes that his soul has been taken by the Norse gods, and sets out with his severed head (the seat of the soul) to try and bring him back to life. The main events of Hellblade are all a part of Senua’s journey through the mythological afterlife realm of Hel.
