Who died in Game of Thrones’ Battle of Winterfell, and who survived: the full listĪrya was clearly paying attention, because in the episode’s climactic moment, just as the Night King was about to kill a thoroughly indifferent-seeming Bran Stark, Arya pounced on him out of nowhere and stabbed him with her trusty Valyrian steel dagger. In other words, she seemed to be suggesting that Arya use her assassination skills to go after the Night King. It was a hostile encounter after all, Melisandre was on Arya’s kill list at one point for being mean to her best friend (and eventual love interest) Gendry.īut during this meeting, as Melisandre recounted their previous one years earlier, she pointedly reminded Arya that she’d prophesied that Arya would take many lives, including those of beings with blue eyes.
If you found it difficult to follow what was happening throughout the long, action-packed, scene-jumping, and very literally dark Battle of Winterfell, here’s what went down: In the middle of the fight, Arya briefly confronted Melisandre, the Red Witch. Instead - spoilers ahead! - the show’s resident teenage girl assassin did her thing, and Arya Stark wound up saying no to the god of death in spectacular fashion. At the climax of Game of Thrones season eight, episode three, “The Long Night,” the Night King finally met his match - though only partly, as many viewers had speculated, at the hands of Bran Stark and a carefully laid magic trap.
