It's revealed by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) that only those who die on the battlefield can go to Valhalla. As he stands over Sif, a fellow Asgardian warrior, he tells her that she must die on the battlefield if she hopes to go to Valhalla, a fact that holds true to traditional Norse mythology.
Odin died peacefully in Thor: Ragnarok and was still able to ascend to Valhalla. However, as the Allfather, it is possible that Odin was simply an exception to the rule. Thor: Love and Thunder has revealed that humans are able to enter Valhalla, not just Asgardians.
When men died in battle, it was believed that the war-god Odin gathered chosen slain warriors at his home in Asgard—the dwelling place of the gods in Norse mythology. Odin's mythical hall, called Valhalla, was a warrior's paradise built of spear shafts and roofed with shields.
Valhalla is presided over by Odin, and to gain entrance to it, one must be chosen by him and his valkyries, the “choosers of the fallen.” The only difference that is pointed out, is in the way that the dead are chosen to stay. Odin chooses for Valhalla, while Freya chooses for Folkvang.
It's a challenging boss fight, but one that ends in the resolution of the All-Father's demise. Atreus shows his compassion as he places Odin's soul into a marble. However, it isn't long before Sindri takes the marble from Loki, and refuses to be denied his vengeance against the Aesir god.
Moreover, Mimir had warned Kratos time and again about Odin's treachery. Thus, Kratos decided that it was in their best interests to not get into any kind of agreement with Odin, having had his fair share of ill experiences with other gods.
Odin's soul is trapped by Kratos, Freya and Atreus in a frenetic final battle, but ultimately destroyed by Sindri, taking revenge for the death of Brok when Odin was posing as Tyr.
"Clarifying this now, because I'm getting lots of [questions]," tweeted McDevitt. "Odin is not a separate entity inside Eivor; he is not a parasite trying to "take over." We have simply dramatized the friction between her human personality and the "previous Isu life" that is slowly revealed to her.
With the axe unequipped, Odin loses his control over Eivor.
Valhalla players need only to run towards Sigurd, to end this fight and trigger a cutscene. Assassins Creed Valhalla has many tough fights and challenges, yet the ultimate Norse god becomes powerless if players refuse to fight him in the first place.
Not all Vikings went to Valhalla
It was thought that, "if you were a Viking woman, or died in bed of sickness, or if you died of old age, you were not going to Valhalla," says Larrington. “You would go to the hall of Hel, which was not necessarily a pleasant place.
Odin is killed by Fenrir who is then killed by Odin's son Vidarr. Thor kills Jörmungandr but succumbs to the serpent's poison after taking only nine steps after the battle and falls dead.
Odin's self-sacrifice
He sacrificed his eye in Mimir's well and he threw himself on his spear Gungnir in a kind of symbolic, ritual suicide. He then hanged himself in Yggdrasil, the tree of life, for nine days and nine nights in order to gain knowledge of other worlds and be able to understand the runes.
Unlike her comic book counterpart, Hela is shown as being the ruler of Valhalla, not Hel (possibly for censorship reasons). The main difference being that Valhalla is the realm of the honored dead, while Hel is that of the neither honored nor dishonored dead.
While Odin is revered in mythology, he serves as God of War Ragnarok's main antagonist, trying to convince Atreus of leaving his father's side all so that he may prevent Ragnarok and survive.
Galactus would win in a fight against Odin.
There is nothing the gods can do to prevent Ragnarok. Odin's only comfort is that he can predict that Ragnarok, will not be the end of the world.
Dawn of Ragnarok is the third and final DLC (downloadable content) title for Valhalla, and I could sum up its review with everything I've said for the last three — great visuals, lots to do, but a disappointing story.
Another theme found in the myths of Odin is the inability to escape destiny—the notion that future events have already been determined and cannot be changed. Odin gains the ability to see the future and knows that he and the other gods of the Aesir will die at Ragnarok, but nothing he can do will change that fate.
Every so often, Eivor experiences visions of Odin that try to make them choose glory over honor. If Eivor heeds the advice of the Norse god of wisdom and knowledge, players will receive the bad ending. But if Eivor can resist Odin's whispers, gamers will receive the good ending.
This incident gained Eivor the nickname of "Wolf-Kissed", and from that age on, she began hearing the voice of Odin, her Isu incarnation, in her head, although she did not realize it. In the years to come, she slowly stopped witnessing visions from his memories and eventually forgot about the voice in her mind.
it's never explained in the story whether she does or not.
Eivor is a reincarnation of Odin, meaning some of his Isu DNA and memories live on in her. In fact, in the simplest terms, the Let the Animus Decide option doesn't have a male Eivor—it has a separate character in his entirety, Havi/Odin.
They're both really bad but Zeus had the excuse of being corrupted and was under the influence of Pandora's box which made him act the way he did while Odin was always selfish and manipulative on his own naturally.
Odin has pretty clearly been shown to be demonstrable more powerful than the other gods. Odin's Odinforce has far outstripped anything Zeus's magical lightning bolts have ever done.
Odin allows it. But with Heimdall dead, Atreus decides he should return to Asgard. Odin will soon figure out that Kratos killed Heimdall, and that will surely lead to war.
