Otherwise basically agree knighttemplar either stay in purgatory, go into Valhalla (I think going into Valhalla is a boring ending imo.

Or Odin now sees you as the threat because he's a god who can change his mind on a whim. Either he kills you and that's that or maybe you get the chance to fight him and . . .?

I don't know enough about north mythos to make an educated guess on what happens if Odin dies, but you kill him and become Odin? The game ends up being a never ending loop of a purgatory where everytime you see Odin watching you in-game it's actually a previous you waiting for the yet again inevitable battle and reset of the process.

The Norse gods have life spans of several thousand years. A mere human has 70ish. Some versions of Norse myth claim that a mortal even touching Odin's spear will cause the instant death of that mortal. Other versions say that the spear gungnir is so well made and balanced that it can strike any target no matter the strength or skill of the user.

Being sent to Valhalla would be an exciting ending since those that are sent to Valhalla are chosen to fight by Odin's side at Ragnarök (war that ends the realms). In some versions of the myth some of the gods survive. In others none of the gods survive and only 2 humans a woman Lif and the man Lifthrasir survive and repopulate a reborn Earth. In still others Surtr sets fire to the world with his sword and the Nine Realms fall in flames. In some of the myths that end in this way this is just a cycle and a new world tree grows from the ashes and the gods are all reborn but without any of their memories from the previous cycle and it all starts over again ending once more with Ragnarök.

Ooo what about this then. Last boss is a one time chance. If you die against the last boss you respawn as usual with skill loss & naked but returned to the middle stones, and all boss trophies are reset. Assuming its a requirement all boss trophies need to be hung to attempt last boss.

If you beat the last boss without dieing during the attempt you go to Valhalla. Maybe just an end cut scene or you could play some sort of neverending battle where you end up dieing in greatness
