Founding an Assassin Brotherhood is hard work soooo, why not chase hippos, map the stars and hunt for treasure instead?! Here's Ellen with 10 things you'll do in Assassin's Creed Origins instead of fulfilling your special assassin destiny. Enjoy!
XDDDDDDDDDD I think some sort of artifact will like mix up Bayek and Senu's senses or something like that. As before we were told the eagle vision was something passed down from the precurser race
I can relate to Bayek. He gets distracted from fulfilling his assassin destiny. I get distracted from essay writing by watching this video. We're basically the same he and I.
Instead of starting the brotherhood I plan on starting the world's first extreme sport, where I'll slide down the pyramids while my friend gets it all in Hieroglyphs. Gotta get that sweet sponsorship deal so I can start the worlds oldest skate company, Be Right Bayek. Patent pending until patents are invented.
"Long spears, for long distance poking" Assassin stands on inch from licking bad guys neck and then proceeds to to wack him with a big ass stick, lol 😂
Whilst that snake had no need for treasure, she certainly was enjoying a nap in her roomy retirement home, eagerly expecting a visit any day now from her three children and twelve grandchildren. She probably was musing on how the visit would surely cheer her up, after all it was only last week that she visited the tomb of her husband on the anniversary of his death two years ago. Her grandchildren's sweet little forked tongues and darting eyes full of life and curiosity always warmed her heart and helped relieve the icy pangs of grief and pain she had felt since the passing of her late husband. Can you picture how the cries and shrieks of joy and excitement of the visiting family a few days from now sharply turned to pain and terror upon finding their grandmother's charred body limp and lifeless upon the floor? Was satisfying your greed for treasure really worth all that pain and suffering Ellen? Did that grandmother truly deserve to die for a few cold and lifeless coins?
Edward Nigma snakes are cold blooded, mate. As soon as they hatch, they are are ready to live independently and often mothers will consume their young and vice versa.
It's also unusual for snakes to have retirement homes and tombs ;) On a more serious note, a few species of snakes (like the King Cobra) will actually construct nests and stay in the area of their hatchlings once they've hatched. Whilst the snake she killed is unlikely to be a King Cobra (I'd guess it was probably an Egyptian Cobra), my point still stands that not all snakes are as cold-blooded as you think and a little exageration never hurt a joke.
"Okay so it's that one, but I probably need more footage to talk over, and to show off more of the other constellations we'll be looking for late-oh okay there are audio logs too yes okay fine lets delay this even further...great, I'm gonna look so smart..." - E
Outside Xtra I just saw this comment and I've forgotten almost all of the context, but you are very smart, Ellen. You do a good job and everyone is very proud of you, and I would be worse at puzzles if I was doing right things at once. 💜
It was about Bayek and his son! Bayek's son told him that he wants to find all the stone circles and so Bayek is keeping his son's promise. Quest: Bayek's Promise, in Siwa (southwest)
5:27 Bayek and his father? Did you pay ANY attention to the game? It's clearly Bayek and his son. His son is a major driving force for the whole game. Also there's a quest for it confirming that it's his son.
6:40 That would mean that eagle vision would have been retconned at least twice. Originally, eagle vision was the animus representation of the ancestor's increased reflexes. It was then explained that eagle vision was a result of 1st civilisation DNA in a certain individual.
ArmskillerV2 Actually in Altair revelations bio, he was able to use the skill as a child. He prefect it in secret and decided to write down for other assassins to use it in the future.
I don't think the 'animus representation' explanation could ever hold water, though, since Desmond uses eagle vision outside the animus as far back as the very first game.
Me too.That's what I'm mostly looking forward to do in this game. I also have been getting the impression that this is the most exciting thing to do in the game given the Oxbox and Oxtra gameplay footage.
Personally, Brotherhood sounds cooler. I wouldn't change it until something just as mysterious yet mildly threatening comes along. "Mildly threatening?" Yes, mildly threatening. A group of Penguins, nothing to worry about... but The Brotherhood of Penguins? Somethin smells fishy, and I'm not talking about their diet! *Cooley takes off sun glasses*
Bayek was talking to Khemu at the stone circles. It was pretty obvious, the whole reason we went around doing all of them was because Khemu said he wanted to do all of them so Bayek is fulfilling his wish
I'm still not over [10 Year Old SPOILER]¹ being killed off, so I really hope this doesn't happen even though I sort of agree that it's what they've planned. ¹Hedwig. I can forgive every death in HP but that and one other...
Well the games have so far mentioned that it comes from having a certain amount of First Civilization DNA and not every assassin has Eagle Vision (just the ones we play as). Bayek already has a similar ability in almost every gameplay video so he likely has some 1st Civ genes too.
I see you have a keen eye for history good sir. How would you like to come work here at Abstergo where we'll be able to let you see into the gene memories of your ancestors. Even persay, ones who have met many felines on their adventures?
Most Rpgs have the option to turn that off. I don't mind, it allows me to know the damage my weapons do, see if they need fine tuning or not. But I can understand why it would bother some, immersion-wise and all.
Probably the influence of The Witcher 3, that being said I've always liked knowing exactly how much damage I was doing. I would be surprised if they didn't let you turn it off but it might be nice if the Outside crew would answer that for you. I like the numbers but I'm gonna give you a thumbs up in the hope they might see it and be able to give you an answer.
o k I'm playing on normal and considering to raise the difficulty. Bayek is a machine and one of the most bad ass characters in any game in over 30 years of gaming. My favorite 3rd person game is probably devil may cry 3 for the record. I liked black flag and syndicate and played a bit of ac 1 and 2 and it is not my favorite series. I have found syndicate to be amazingly fun more than the othere. I still have 1 power moon in Mario and am on the second level of wolfenstein 2 and my destiny 2 char is only level 10 and I haven't watched stranger things season 2 because this game is the best game I've played possibly ever. I can't get over how fun the combat is and playing it on 4k is a sight to behold on pc. This game is going to end up being one of my forever games with 100 plus hours. Can't get enough of the photo mode. The most gorgeous game I've ever seen. Every zone is a whole different biome and the combat is vicious and bloody and so so satisfying. I didn't get my hidden blade for 16 hours and I had tons of fun just throwing people on the ground and killing them while they are laying there. The assassin Bayek is the best assassin of the series. I hope at least one person was convinced to play this game from me or others here and can truly see what a joy it is.
How will I get distracted from founding the Brotherhood? If Breath of the Wild and Black Flag are any indication, I'll be sailing. All sailing all the time.
♫ I am sailing I am sailing Home again 'Cross the sea… ♫ Pretty sure I did more sailing in Black Flag than every other activity combined, including being an assassin or getting Edward drunk.
I spent a whole year during the first year of the pandemic admiring the environment of this game. Up to now, I’m saving discovery mode to just admire each site all over again. The game is so beautiful!
QUICK TIP: if you see the overcharge gauge as blue, you would be killing your enemy with a possibly instant kill charge attack. If yellow, it would be powering your attacks, mostly on sickled swords or heavy blades and blunts. Meaning the blue is good for killing those in 1v1 battles and the yellow is good for multi-enemy battle.
Uhh about the stargazing thing: it is Bayek talking to his son, not his father talking to him. You even have a quest with it. After its completion Bayek says something like "now your soul will rest easier,Khemu"
The conversation in the stargazing section was Bayek and his son. In 1 specific origins video I saw a quest where the description said that Bayek promised to his son to find all these stone circles.
I didn't know about "Discovery Tour." That is super exciting! I have two daughters who would greatly benefit from that. This game just went from "yay, another AC game, wheee" to "must buy." Thanks!
I think it is Bayek teaching his son before his death, like fashbacks, at the stone circles, because he calls him papo , which was how his son, khemu, called him
Bayek is the guy you play as, im sure it was just a slip of your words but yeah.... The mini stone hedges also lead to something nice near the sphinx, just make sure to so them all then just get 50, silica don't ask why just look in tombs for it, trust me it is so worth it.
With all the origin things for the brotherhood, like the symbol itself, the creed, etc. one thing I noticed that I'm not sure others did was Aya has a house in Alexandria, and the only way to get in is through an awning in the sun room, very much looks like the bureau entrances in the original AC that Altaire checks into when on a job. Later the first bureau opens in Memphis, same deal.
A-crocalypse now... This channel continues to amaze me. Also long range bows, long range spears... I'm sensing a theme here. What's next, long range petting cats?
The Star gazing is bayek and his son. Bayek made it his quest to find all the stone circles for khenut after he died before finding them all. Hence the name of the quest.
Assassin's Creed Origins is made with passion & lots of hard work. I think it's going to be the best game in the whole series. Ashraf Ismail has done such a great job & Egypt looks insanely beautiful in this game.
The audio isn’t Bayek talking with his father. It’s him and his son. Eagle vision was inherited from the ones who came before. They crossbred with humans and the ones that have mixed dna inherited some of their “abilities”
This game was on sale recently and I got it because of you guys! I'm not usually into one-character, one-storyline, action AAA games, but you sold me on this one (especially with the Discovery Tour). I've really enjoyed everything in the game but I really wish it had MORE of the RPG stuff. Traversing Egypt and hunting for stuff in the mid-game (when you're strong enough to not die, but not so powerful that you've already done everything) is really fun. But I've got 900 hours logged in Skyrim, and it always feels like there's more to do (and more mods to try, which Ubisoft games don't really have), and about 100 hours into Assassin's Creed Origins I'm kinda just DONE. Maybe the biggest difference is only having a single character and a single main story, and you're basically always a "rogue". A proper RPG like Skyrim has character creation and more approaches to possible character builds - if that was a thing in this game, I'd spend 1000 hours in it, EASY. I definitely got my money's worth, and it's been great, but I wish there was more! I'm looking forward to checking out Odyssey... once I get a computer that can run it! Origins I've had all the graphics set on LOW quality, and I still think it looks amazing (maybe because I'm so accustomed to playing Skyrim)!
Ellen: if you fancy a less man eating target, there are all sorts of other creatures for you to hunt down. Luke: why do you keep on bringing up the flamingo?
Fun fact: If you paid special attention to Bayek's memories of his son, you'll realize that it was Khemu who gave Bayek the idea of shooting multiple arrows from his bow. A.K.A. Warrior Bow.
Tbh, I didn't care much for this release...started to feel like "if I've played 1 Assassin's Creed, I've played them all.." Especially after Black Flag. But after watching more & more videos on this, I have to say I'm extremely pumped to pick this up
I got really distracted from the secret feature of making senu do a barrel roll. I did that atleast a few hundred times during my play through. That slowed me really down. Haha.
If I'm not mistaken, the eagle vision that the characters of the previous AC games have is due to the fact that they have the genes of the ancient Isu civilization
Big ups to the OX crew for all the great coverage of this game. I've been suffering from Creed fatigue even though Syndicate was fantastic but all gameplay footage and exposition you've done on Origins has me super excited. Reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn I love silly sidequest stuff like finding constellations. Keep up the good work!
Btw, its not "storys of bayjek and her father" on 5.Went stargazing, its "storys of bayjek and khemu (his son)" obiusly cus quest name in the start is "bayjek's promise"( or some thing like that) and its promise on his son, khemu. and also, ur welcome for fixing ur mistage ;)
Does anyone else not think throwing a torch at a cobra... shooting it (the cobra) with an arrow... watching it then burst into flames and mocking it - not think that was a little OTT? I think Ellen has something against the animals in this game (bar eagles and cats) after the whole hippo / crocodile beef in previous episodes.
You can just use your horse or camel to hunt them down and attack them with your melee weapon. This is also helpful if you have the automatic loot skill in the melee category in the skill tree. Well, spears may be helpful for its long range. This is also helpful if you have the charge heavy attack skill if you are having trouble hunting down these creatures.
Am I the only one hoping that during investigations Bayek says a punny one liner , removes an Ancient Egyptian version of sunglasses immediately after which in the background 'Won't get fooled again' plays ?
You obviously didn't play the game. If you had you'd know that it is Bayek reliving his memories with Khemu, his son, the son who died in the prologue missions. Also, aligning all 12 constellations gives you access to the tomb under the Sphinx. This is where the Isu Armour is obtained.
I'm guessing: getting eaten by giant Nile Crocodiles, getting eviscerated and impaled by guards, getting smoshed by Hippos, getting mauled by Lions and Hyneas... you get the picture.
They already explained how Assassins get their eagle vision in the AC EU. It's a dormant sixth sense all humans hold the potential to access with training, but some people have a greater natural ability based on their ancestry.
Founding an Assassin Brotherhood is hard work soooo, why not chase hippos, map the stars and hunt for treasure instead?! Here's Ellen with 10 things you'll do in Assassin's Creed Origins instead of fulfilling your special assassin destiny. Enjoy!
PET ALL THE CATS!!!
Wait a second, how would Senu help re-explain the origin of the Assassins' eagle-vision? Unless you're suggesting that...oh, _ew._
XDDDDDDDDDD I think some sort of artifact will like mix up Bayek and Senu's senses or something like that. As before we were told the eagle vision was something passed down from the precurser race
Lux Tenebris Ah, I see. That means the _eagles_ are the precursors, right?
...I don't know much lore about this A Sassin's Creed series.
You... you named the camel Humphrey.
Of course you did.
I can relate to Bayek. He gets distracted from fulfilling his assassin destiny. I get distracted from essay writing by watching this video. We're basically the same he and I.
Adam McDDcM Hello we work for... Umm.. Ab.. Abstargo? We would like to offer you a job! (God I hope he falls for it)
You may as well star in the next assassins creed game.
i have to do a practice essay for my English class on our shakespear topic, buuuut i like Assassin's creed Origin's better.

Don't worry, Ellen. You made whatever animator who spent at least a day, probably more, working on the petting animations extremely happy.
Their happiness was worth every kitty pat.
^ Oh the dangerously wonderful potential of this one post.
Instead of starting the brotherhood I plan on starting the world's first extreme sport, where I'll slide down the pyramids while my friend gets it all in Hieroglyphs. Gotta get that sweet sponsorship deal so I can start the worlds oldest skate company, Be Right Bayek. Patent pending until patents are invented.
Don't forget to yell Extreme!!! During it
5:33 "memories of Bayek and his father" I didn't know Bayek died and came back to life
"Long spears, for long distance poking" Assassin stands on inch from licking bad guys neck and then proceeds to to wack him with a big ass stick, lol 😂
"I'm gonna poke it with a stick."
Makes me wonder if the footage of sword fighting is even legal to show to minors.
In all fairness, that is a long distance for Ellen... O:-)
TheLurkingWriter lol
Yeah, how you'd get up the momentum to shove it through is pry something you shouldn't think too hard on.
Whilst that snake had no need for treasure, she certainly was enjoying a nap in her roomy retirement home, eagerly expecting a visit any day now from her three children and twelve grandchildren. She probably was musing on how the visit would surely cheer her up, after all it was only last week that she visited the tomb of her husband on the anniversary of his death two years ago. Her grandchildren's sweet little forked tongues and darting eyes full of life and curiosity always warmed her heart and helped relieve the icy pangs of grief and pain she had felt since the passing of her late husband. Can you picture how the cries and shrieks of joy and excitement of the visiting family a few days from now sharply turned to pain and terror upon finding their grandmother's charred body limp and lifeless upon the floor? Was satisfying your greed for treasure really worth all that pain and suffering Ellen? Did that grandmother truly deserve to die for a few cold and lifeless coins?

You cut me deep there man...😢
Edward Nigma the fuck are you talking about
Fucking hell, you’re a bucket full of fun.
Oh dear, whoever was doing the star puzzles was... Listening really hard to those audio logs.
Yep. That's the end of that sentence...
"Okay so it's that one, but I probably need more footage to talk over, and to show off more of the other constellations we'll be looking for late-oh okay there are audio logs too yes okay fine lets delay this even further...great, I'm gonna look so smart..." - E

I noticed that and kinda got a little angry
Not gonna lie threw me for a loop haha
paused and went searching for this comment! Hello!
6:40 That would mean that eagle vision would have been retconned at least twice. Originally, eagle vision was the animus representation of the ancestor's increased reflexes. It was then explained that eagle vision was a result of 1st civilisation DNA in a certain individual.

I don't think the 'animus representation' explanation could ever hold water, though, since Desmond uses eagle vision outside the animus as far back as the very first game.
I think you people are all nerds.
I always liked Edward's way of explaining it in Black Flag
How does Senu relay all her information to Bayek? Does she have like a tiny eagle earpiece?
Zadok the Priest Sign language.
I think from the lore it states that Bayek can literally see through the eyes of Senu
Zadok the Priest earpieces didnt existist (i know i butchered the spelling) yet
perhapspenguins boy That joke flew so far over your head.
*static* Bayek, this is Senu *static* We got an armored enemy in the sector B-7 *static* Proceed with caution *static*
Okay, despite my somewhat unsuccessful history with Assassin's Creed games, those cats may actually be enough to make me buy it.
Patrik Hjorth good buy it
Unsuccessful how?
They’ve all been incredible, save for unity
saME
Inuheishi I don't understand why people don't like unity except for glitches
You can loot from camelback?! Best feature ever.
"long spears for poking and swiping"
gets real close to a guy and starts attacking
*Pushes up glasses* Actually, eagle vision is actually a genetic trait gained due to the assassins being related to the precursor civilisation
I was surprised that petting animals wasn't 1-10
Me too.That's what I'm mostly looking forward to do in this game. I also have been getting the impression that this is the most exciting thing to do in the game given the Oxbox and Oxtra gameplay footage.
Assassin's Creed : Not So Fantastic Beasts and Where to Kill Them

I really want a Senu vs cats battle royale
I heard "Tame animals" and immediately thought: "Cats!"
what we really need is Senu petting cats by snuggling w them
Desynchronized. Cats are sacred beings.
Cats are sacred beings! A Medjay must protect them!
First the moose. Then the deer. And now, Humphrey.
3:25 : SNAKE! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

I'm so confused
Perfect!
Kinda looks like if Horizon: Zero Dawn were in the past and stabby stabby the bad guy instead of shooty shooty all the robots.
The voice of our generation!
Sadly.
I don't normally speak/type like this. I did it for fun.
I had guessed. (But then, I wasn't serious in the first place.)
Hard to guess sarcasm on the internet, let alone YT.
...which may be another reason for me to consider getting this game. That, and the cats.
I dunno Ellen, Pogs still grant us keen insights into 1990's culture.
11: Start the Sisterhood instead.
The one with the traveling pants? Nice and timely reference there, me...
Ellen can start a Kingdoms of amalur sisterhood if she wanted.
Please sir, no. *whimpers*
That's probably something the modern day assassins are arguing about. You know, not being politically correct and all.
Personally, Brotherhood sounds cooler. I wouldn't change it until something just as mysterious yet mildly threatening comes along. "Mildly threatening?" Yes, mildly threatening. A group of Penguins, nothing to worry about... but The Brotherhood of Penguins? Somethin smells fishy, and I'm not talking about their diet! *Cooley takes off sun glasses*
When you just took the PSAT'S and Ellen says Bits and Bobs
The history nerd in my heart just jizzed his pants...
When you accidentally click on a video before the title loads but while your trying to go back you realize it's fresh oxtra juice. {Sips}
That is cleary Bayek talking to his son there, when you do the star puzzle
5:34 this might be bayek son because bayek never heard of the medjay from his father as what the new novel desert oath says
Bayek was talking to Khemu at the stone circles. It was pretty obvious, the whole reason we went around doing all of them was because Khemu said he wanted to do all of them so Bayek is fulfilling his wish
Calling it now: Senu will die but with the help of Ancient tech she'll fuse with Bayek thus giving him Eagle Vision.
I'm still not over [10 Year Old SPOILER]¹ being killed off, so I really hope this doesn't happen even though I sort of agree that it's what they've planned.
¹Hedwig. I can forgive every death in HP but that and one other...
Well the games have so far mentioned that it comes from having a certain amount of First Civilization DNA and not every assassin has Eagle Vision (just the ones we play as). Bayek already has a similar ability in almost every gameplay video so he likely has some 1st Civ genes too.
Joon_Cohort I see.
he who was given socks perhaps?
lem0nwings no
I will be a serious assassins I won't... get... distr... KITTY!!! * pets forever *
I see you have a keen eye for history good sir. How would you like to come work here at Abstergo where we'll be able to let you see into the gene memories of your ancestors. Even persay, ones who have met many felines on their adventures?
I volunteer as tribute
Mister Taz Damn where did you lot people Desmond and clau
7:00 the ability to run automagically? That is one overpowered camel
They actually use real sites with great accurate details. Good job
Not to mention realistic portrayals of boats and other Egyptian tools and weapons (well, besides the on-board lions...)
I still dont know how i feel about hitting people and numbers coming out..
Most Rpgs have the option to turn that off. I don't mind, it allows me to know the damage my weapons do, see if they need fine tuning or not. But I can understand why it would bother some, immersion-wise and all.
Probably the influence of The Witcher 3, that being said I've always liked knowing exactly how much damage I was doing. I would be surprised if they didn't let you turn it off but it might be nice if the Outside crew would answer that for you.
I like the numbers but I'm gonna give you a thumbs up in the hope they might see it and be able to give you an answer.
You can turn them off :) Confirmed by Ashaf Ismail himself
Thanks Gehenna!
Andy Mcp it bothers me
"A long range bow and arrow" followed by image to of a approximately 3~5 meter "long rang sniping" . "A long spear " followed by a arm length poking.
Did you dance like an Egyptian? You should have danced like an Egyptian...
Who knows, but she did walk like one.
Frederic Beaudet egyptians were painted like that because they thought if they didnt show all limbs they would lose them in the afterlife.
I'm so excited for this game. Skipping Mario and getting this instead. If seems they nailed the combat
heh, if only you knew
Daniel Driscoll if only I knew What? 15 hours in and not even level 10 I guess I already know without your snarky comment
It's more satisfying than it looks, well on hard difficulty it is
o k I'm playing on normal and considering to raise the difficulty. Bayek is a machine and one of the most bad ass characters in any game in over 30 years of gaming. My favorite 3rd person game is probably devil may cry 3 for the record. I liked black flag and syndicate and played a bit of ac 1 and 2 and it is not my favorite series. I have found syndicate to be amazingly fun more than the othere. I still have 1 power moon in Mario and am on the second level of wolfenstein 2 and my destiny 2 char is only level 10 and I haven't watched stranger things season 2 because this game is the best game I've played possibly ever. I can't get over how fun the combat is and playing it on 4k is a sight to behold on pc. This game is going to end up being one of my forever games with 100 plus hours.

Mario was years ago in Brotherhood
How will I get distracted from founding the Brotherhood? If Breath of the Wild and Black Flag are any indication, I'll be sailing. All sailing all the time.
♫ I am sailing
I am sailing
Home again
'Cross the sea… ♫
Pretty sure I did more sailing in Black Flag than every other activity combined, including being an assassin or getting Edward drunk.
Distracted in an RPG? Unheard of.
I spent a whole year during the first year of the pandemic admiring the environment of this game. Up to now, I’m saving discovery mode to just admire each site all over again. The game is so beautiful!
"less corpsey"... starts treasure hunting in pyramids... You do know why the pyramids were built, yeah? XD
QUICK TIP: if you see the overcharge gauge as blue, you would be killing your enemy with a possibly instant kill charge attack. If yellow, it would be powering your attacks, mostly on sickled swords or heavy blades and blunts. Meaning the blue is good for killing those in 1v1 battles and the yellow is good for multi-enemy battle.
This shit is so true. I was at level 40 still doing missions from 30's. Calling the horse at the beginning of the video was perfect timing. 🤣
Uhh about the stargazing thing: it is Bayek talking to his son, not his father talking to him. You even have a quest with it. After its completion Bayek says something like "now your soul will rest easier,Khemu"
Of course the cat petting was mentioned I expected nothing less from Ellen! 🐈
The conversation in the stargazing section was Bayek and his son. In 1 specific origins video I saw a quest where the description said that Bayek promised to his son to find all these stone circles.
I didn't know about "Discovery Tour." That is super exciting! I have two daughters who would greatly benefit from that. This game just went from "yay, another AC game, wheee" to "must buy." Thanks!
I think it is Bayek teaching his son before his death, like fashbacks, at the stone circles, because he calls him papo , which was how his son, khemu, called him
I'm totally feline this game.
Bayek is the guy you play as, im sure it was just a slip of your words but yeah.... The mini stone hedges also lead to something nice near the sphinx, just make sure to so them all then just get 50, silica don't ask why just look in tombs for it, trust me it is so worth it.
With all the origin things for the brotherhood, like the symbol itself, the creed, etc. one thing I noticed that I'm not sure others did was Aya has a house in Alexandria, and the only way to get in is through an awning in the sun room, very much looks like the bureau entrances in the original AC that Altaire checks into when on a job. Later the first bureau opens in Memphis, same deal.
Vlad would be proud, for all those spear finishing moves!
This discovery tour is the best thing yet, little 5yr old me would be chomping at the bit to play that
A-crocalypse now... This channel continues to amaze me.
Also long range bows, long range spears... I'm sensing a theme here. What's next, long range petting cats?
Shhhhhh! You're not supposed to know about that yet!
We can but hope!
The Star gazing is bayek and his son. Bayek made it his quest to find all the stone circles for khenut after he died before finding them all. Hence the name of the quest.
Assassin's Creed Origins is made with passion & lots of hard work. I think it's going to be the best game in the whole series. Ashraf Ismail has done such a great job & Egypt looks insanely beautiful in this game.
The audio isn’t Bayek talking with his father. It’s him and his son.
Eagle vision was inherited from the ones who came before. They crossbred with humans and the ones that have mixed dna inherited some of their “abilities”

But I've got 900 hours logged in Skyrim, and it always feels like there's more to do (and more mods to try, which Ubisoft games don't really have), and about 100 hours into Assassin's Creed Origins I'm kinda just DONE. Maybe the biggest difference is only having a single character and a single main story, and you're basically always a "rogue". A proper RPG like Skyrim has character creation and more approaches to possible character builds - if that was a thing in this game, I'd spend 1000 hours in it, EASY.
I definitely got my money's worth, and it's been great, but I wish there was more! I'm looking forward to checking out Odyssey... once I get a computer that can run it! Origins I've had all the graphics set on LOW quality, and I still think it looks amazing (maybe because I'm so accustomed to playing Skyrim)!
AC Origins is my new favorite I can’t get enough content. I’m 72 hours In and not finished yet because of all my exploring
Ellen: if you fancy a less man eating target, there are all sorts of other creatures for you to hunt down.
Luke: why do you keep on bringing up the flamingo?
Fun fact: If you paid special attention to Bayek's memories of his son, you'll realize that it was Khemu who gave Bayek the idea of shooting multiple arrows from his bow. A.K.A. Warrior Bow.
Tbh, I didn't care much for this release...started to feel like "if I've played 1 Assassin's Creed, I've played them all.." Especially after Black Flag.
But after watching more & more videos on this, I have to say I'm extremely pumped to pick this up
I got really distracted from the secret feature of making senu do a barrel roll. I did that atleast a few hundred times during my play through. That slowed me really down. Haha.
If I'm not mistaken, the eagle vision that the characters of the previous AC games have is due to the fact that they have the genes of the ancient Isu civilization
5:33 "What we assume to be Bayek and his father"
Did you guys not watch _any_ of the cutscenes at all or pay attention to _any_ of the story
The aligning the stars is actually bayek and his son if you start the mission “Bayek’s Promise” a little south from siwa you would see
Big ups to the OX crew for all the great coverage of this game. I've been suffering from Creed fatigue even though Syndicate was fantastic but all gameplay footage and exposition you've done on Origins has me super excited. Reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn I love silly sidequest stuff like finding constellations. Keep up the good work!
Btw, its not "storys of bayjek and her father" on 5.Went stargazing, its "storys of bayjek and khemu (his son)" obiusly cus quest name in the start is "bayjek's promise"( or some thing like that) and its promise on his son, khemu. and also, ur welcome for fixing ur mistage ;)
" the whole kitten Caboodle"- Narrows eyes... Presses like button...
The stone circles are part of unlocking the isu outfit and it was also a promise to bayeks son before he died that he would find and align all 12
Does anyone else not think throwing a torch at a cobra... shooting it (the cobra) with an arrow... watching it then burst into flames and mocking it - not think that was a little OTT?
I think Ellen has something against the animals in this game (bar eagles and cats) after the whole hippo / crocodile beef in previous episodes.
Love how they even added that dude peeing off the side of the boat 😂
I got away from AC after III, but Origiins was a fun reintroduction to the series. Always fun to hear Ellen’s take.
You can just use your horse or camel to hunt them down and attack them with your melee weapon. This is also helpful if you have the automatic loot skill in the melee category in the skill tree. Well, spears may be helpful for its long range. This is also helpful if you have the charge heavy attack skill if you are having trouble hunting down these creatures.
BTW you can use the torch to break wooden doors (and break scarab infested weak walls), you don't have to drop it and draw your weapon....
YOU NAMED YOUR CAMEL HUMPHREY!!! I love this channel...
From playing AC3, AC4, AC unity and AC syndicate, this is the best Assassin's Creed game yet
Am I the only one hoping that during investigations Bayek says a punny one liner , removes an Ancient Egyptian version of sunglasses immediately after which in the background 'Won't get fooled again' plays ?
We had a horse called Horson, a khajiit called Kippers and now a camel called Humpfree. Those three now may be able to start their own sister channel.
Bits and Bobs? Someone has taken the PSAT.
I’m that one completionist who does every side quest as it comes up. To say the least I have never been under leveled
Fangs for the Lion puns Ellen, they were purrfect!
Not cool mane, not cool.
I dunno, I'd say that was a roaring success.
I don't know about you guys, but making a good lion pun always fills me with pride.
I mean, pogs are from the '90s, that's almost as old as Ancient Roman coins, right?
That snake was on fire and was still all "just try it." Clearly, these are no ordinary snakes.
2:22 hopefully this one is better than the crime scene investigations in AC Unity
Discovery tour is a game changer.
Hello Outside Extra,
Are you able to unequip weapons so you dont look armed to the teeth all the time?
You obviously didn't play the game.
If you had you'd know that it is Bayek reliving his memories with Khemu, his son, the son who died in the prologue missions. Also, aligning all 12 constellations gives you access to the tomb under the Sphinx. This is where the Isu Armour is obtained.
@Outside Xtra - The constellations are for Bayek to remember his son as it covers his memories of him and his son, not Bayek and his father.
I just want to see all the outfit options. My only concern is how fabulous I can make Bayek look.
I'm guessing: getting eaten by giant Nile Crocodiles, getting eviscerated and impaled by guards, getting smoshed by Hippos, getting mauled by Lions and Hyneas... you get the picture.
They must have been really proud of that spear kill in the boat to put it RIGHT AFTER commenting on their use of it for distance.
this game is amazing, already completed all the main missions and am now doing the side quests to get all off them checked off and leveling :D
I didn't know you could pet the cats, I need to replay the game now.
Can you truly say experience points taste good. I read that they tasted like EXPired food.
Louis Lowe I heard that it’s an EXPlosion of flavour.
The child you hear while completing stone circles is Bayek's deceased son, Khemu.
They already explained how Assassins get their eagle vision in the AC EU. It's a dormant sixth sense all humans hold the potential to access with training, but some people have a greater natural ability based on their ancestry.
So now I want to play the game just for the history tour :D
The conversations during the stargazing segments is Bayek talking to his son. Did you guys even play the prologue of the game?
3:32 I though she said "Precious Luke" XD
