The Asgard sequences ask Eivor to act as Odin and Odin to act as a man. The gods in Valhalla's mythology are not omnipotent. They are frightened. They know what is coming and they spend their divine capacity trying to prevent it rather than accept it. The watching and the not-intervening are two sides of the same helplessness.

Eivor keeps returning from these visions changed in ways she cannot fully articulate. The game does not explain the transformation. It just places her back in England and watches what she does with what she has seen.
