      It really is awesome. You get in this mindset to head out and start this one mission, but you get distracted by a couple dozen bounty hunters, some cultists, some massive battles, general location exploration and other large fortress takeover. 2 hours later, you realise you haven't finished that mission that you set out to do eons ago lol 😂

    my only problem with the game is the whole sparta vs athens war. you should be able to pledge your alliance with one army. i get you’re an mercenary but it feels weird when you pillage spartan camps and then join them to defend against the athens. and they just accept you like you didn’t just murder half the regions army.

      Jake Dudley No, you can totally do that, it’s just going to take total concentration and care because some of the side missions will definitely involve hitting targets in “friendly” camps. Just don’t do the camps along with the targets. You might have to ignore certain side quests altogether, but only small ones. You can totally do it though.

    2 minutes in and you're already incorrect. The white and black diamonds don't indicate new missions available or a different type of mission, they indicate mission locations for non-tracked missions. In other words, every mission for which you have a marker will always show the marker on the map, but until you are tracking that mission, they will only show up as a white and black diamond. The diamond with the exclamation mark is the indicator of all new missions other than timed missions, represented by the hourglass.

    I wish there was an "allegiance" system where you gain levels by siding with either of the two factions.
    For example:
    Level 1: Base level. Soldiers of the faction act normal around you and all restricted areas remain restricted.
    Level 2: after siding one to two conquests with them, the soldiers feel more comfortable around you. They will no longer show hostility when you're standing near them.
    Level 3: after 2-3 conquest battles with them (stacked with the previous ones if you didn't betray the faction) you now have some sort of military power in the area. Outposts of the faction are now no longer restricted. Military bases and leader houses remain restricted. bounty hunters of the faction have a chance to ask you for help with great rewards. Soldiers of the friendly faction will also do the same and can now be recruited/a companion for some duration.
    Level 4: Completely unrestricted access in friendly regions. After 5 consecutive battles with the same faction, the soldiers of the faction now see you as a hero. Sometimes, when you visit military bases, some soldiers will run up and give some "offerings" to you. They can now be permanantly recruited. When you commit atrocities in friendly regions, there is a good chance that the soldiers will ignore it. Even if they notice you, they would give you a chance to tell you to stand down. Bounty hunter bars will also not rise when said action is performed.

    Another pro tip. The quests that are shown on the map with the blue diamond shape are great! They are usually a series of quests given by one person that have a overarching story. Really fun, and something that assassins creeds usually lack. Ghosts of Tsushima had these tales that were followed and given by specific side characters and they were good stories, these are similar.

    Yes, the save button is my saving grace lol. When you're taking over a fortress and 5 high level bounty hunters are attacking you all at once. After you finish off the 2 dozen other guards in the base you finally have one bounty hunter left to defeat; and then they kill you and you have to re-do everything you've just spent the last 15 minutes doing.

    Pro tip#2: Spartan kick is better used for interrupting your opponent before they start their unblockable/red kill moves. You can lock alot of mercenaries and bosses up with this and take MUCH less damage. It’s also good after your opener, if you knock them down, you can just go right back into your opener.

    It really is an awesome game. It's so damn expansive too, 100 hours in and you've only managed to explore 1/3 of the map. You get in this mindset to head out and start this one mission, but you get distracted by a couple dozen bounty hunters, some cultists, some massive battles, general location exploration and other large fortress takeover. 2 hours later, you realise you haven't finished that mission that you set out to do eons ago lol 😂

    Something that took me a while to figure out is that you could throw bodies. I kept having trouble dropping bodies off walls until I held the “draw bow” button while carrying a body. I was then able to toss it a short distance. No one likes bodies littering a fort to be discovered later. Maybe body tossing was a thing in other Assassin’s Creed games, but this is my first time playing one.

    Sometimes, when you accept a mission from the mission board, it can hard to know where the mission goal is on the map. What i do is:
    Select the mission so that it starts appearing on the screen
    If you twirl around, the golden mission symbol will appear on the compass at the top of the screen
    Walk towards it
    open the map
    Your character is represented on the map by a golden arrow
    Because you walked towards the mission, the golden arrow will be pointing towards the mission. Then it's just a matter of drawing a line on your screen with a big black felt-tip pen

    Long story short, once you get purple of a specific item type, dismantle all common and rare (blue) of that type.

      @@danielantony1882 I think he means what is the goal the assassins in the modern day world trying to achieve. It has been kind a stretch. But none the less I loved them all except for rouge, unity, and I loathe syndicate.

      @solid snake, well. You are right at one thing. It''s slow. A bit. And there's nothing wrong with Unity or Rogue. Unity especially. Because Initiates have been in the franchise since AC1.

    One more useful tip than the video: You can check the character rarity through Ikaros to see if they are useful to recruit, then just hit them enough to lower their hp to very low (new people would think Unarmed strike is the only way but its not) then kick them till they got knocked down (not over cliff..), and you can recruit them, some mercenary is legendary character that can boots your ship power and useful when you called them out for combat
