Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Goodwin decision: The consequences of dealing with Goodwin in Holy Day explained

How the Holy Day missions and killing or sparing Goodwin in Assassin's Crreed Valhalla

Now that Eivor is jarl of Ravensthorpe, it's time to confront King Aelfred. Guthrum has been at war with him almost the entire game, and now Eivor means to battle King Aelfred's army for all of England.

At Werham, Guthrum and Aelfred meet on tense terms. Things do not go as planned and Eivor and friends burn down the city (Kingdom's End).

Eivor and Guthrum devise a plan to attack Aelfred when he leasts expects it, but, first, Eivor must free the captured Danes being held by Aelfred at the Hamtun Blockade.

Calling on all the allies, Eivor brings them to Chepeham / Cippanhamm, where Aelfred is partaking in Holy Day celebrations (Holy Day).

Unfortunately, it was all a ruse, and Eivor and the allies are attacked by Aelfred's soldiers led by his reeve, Goodwin. Soma, Hunwald, and Hjorr all perish in the battle, but they are able to capture Chepaham.
