As the eighth and final season of HBO’s epic fantasy drama Game Of Thrones draws nearer, fans are getting more and more desperate for any hints about what the can expect to see. Unfortunately, plot details are top secret—and we should know. We spent quite some time trying to get our Men's Health April cover star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, aka Jaime Lannister, to spill the beans—but his lips were sealed.

Still, we weren’t going to give up that easily. If he wasn’t going to tell us in words, maybe he could with actions. And so we came up with an ingenious workaround: an axe-throwing challenge.

The game began as a series of “would you rather” questions. Who would you rather accompany you on a journey to the wall: Tyrion Lannister or Brienne of Tarth? Coster-Waldau’s axe landed on Brienne (with whom his character has a complex relationship). However, Coster-Waldau declared it a tie, saying, “They’re both amazing.” Very diplomatic, considering Tyrion is Jaime’s brother.

We also asked Coster-Waldau—or rather, we asked his axe—who should be on the Iron Throne: Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen? The outcome is clear: Dany, Mother of Dragons, and secret aunt of her current squeeze, Jon Snow.

Then we threw in some scenarios that fans have been speculating about for years, like who will emerge victorious in “Cleganebowl,” the long-awaited smackdown between brothers Gregor and Sandor Clegane. According to the axe, the Mountain will crush the Hound!

Things got personal when we asked which character is more likely to kill Cersei: Jaime or Tyrion? “Tyrion’s gonna kill Cersei,” Coster-Waldau announced, after his axe landed on that name, adding: “Maybe. Who knows.”

Finally, we asked who will prevail: the people of Westeros, or the Night King and his army? Coster-Waldau’s throw was a little wide, landing on neither answer…but he called it for the Night King.

We don’t know whether there were some headwinds or unconscious bias at play here, but we’ll let you make what you will of these axe-throwing results.

Season 8 of Game Of Thrones premieres on HBO on April 14.
