Assassin's Creed - Initiation

- "Initiation" is a fan film made by TheDuoGroup. (Not an official video)
"Initiation" takes place before Altair has received the coveted title of "Hashshashin." Like all young men, Altair aspired to leave his mark on the world. After years of grueling training, fear and anticipation course through his veins. Anticipation, because he understands that this is the last rite of passage towards brotherhood. Fear, because he knows that though hundreds of apprentices have reached this point, few come back alive.

He acts like he's in no pain once he gets his finger cut off. Damn, Altair is tough. I were him i'd probably be screaming in pain.
This is Assassin's Creed 1 should have been like reveling Altair's story from a tragic young boy, to a disgraced assassin to the Ultimate and greatest Grand Master assassin in history
***** on pc you can upgrade the gr8raphics for it
I think it is a mod
we work in the bar to serve the drinks we are......... Bartenders
xD nice comparation
🤣
Nothing is sober. Everything is alcohol.
Nothing is stirred everything is shaken
Lol that would be a thing desmond would say cause he was a bartender
Nothing is true,everything is permitted. The wisdom of our creed is carried on by these words. We work in the dark, to serve the light..... We are assassins.
He who increasith wisdom, increasith sorrow.

We are the assassin we are the brotherhood
May bayek' Wisdom live on
altair jumping on the water ? *dead*
NOT dead. He only dies when he's in the water because of a glitch in the animus Abstergo was using
*IT WAS JOKE*
@@tuliwudstudios9214 Lol :D
I think he dont have Play AC1 :D
I first saw this video when I was 18 years old, and remember being in awe of what an incredible story this short work of art was.
Now at 28, I’m still in just as much shock and awe as the first time I witnessed it.
Thank you so much again for creating this incredible work.
Crazy to look back, it's been a long time. Glad you enjoyed it!
You are now 30 bastard
I bet that place is full of fingers.
Yep

Dude, send this to ubisoft and ask them to incorporate it into the next game for Desmond's clone or whatever
Yeah, I really want to play another game back in Altair's timeline, it would be cool to see his early life but I can imagine Ubisoft already have plans for future games, who knows though
@MinecrafterAlex I just realised that was three years ago, it's safe to say Ubisoft don't have any plans on going back on Assassin's Creed
I think the closest we got to this was Bayek losing his finger.

6:46 Why can't more assassin's have hidden flame throwers?
Lol
It's not exactly assassin like
It would fit the assassin's from Constantinople, really
The idea of leaving a mark on the wall is brilliant! Great job!
More Assassin's Creed fans should watch this
Finding out the where the hidden blade tradition comes from makes this even better
This is just wrong. at 8:23 it shows that below is a lake and Altair is going to do a leap of faith. If you've played the game, do you know what happens when Altair goes to a body of water?
But we aint watching through the animus, and Altair's inability to swim was because of a glitch in the animus 1.28 as said in a mail to allan rickman in ac 1
fuck you! altaIr cant sswim.
he can
Clearly he can't swim during in-game because of how The Animus is still being tested, and in some cases, swimming is not part of it's features.....on the contrary, Altair can swim.....YOU just can't
Ram Garol yes, but Altaïr was his own person before Desmond relived his memories in the animus.
Guys, the leaping into he water is symbolism. Like when getting baptised. It's a cleansing, removing the past and starting fresh. When he cut off his finger and left his print on the wall he proved he was a new person. The water was a way of removing the old and allowing the new. Who cares if he couldn't swim in the game. That only really mattered near the end anyways when your jumping around in the docks.
This is by far the best non-canon video related to Assassin's Creed I have ever seen. I love this animation about the initiation of Altaïr to the brotherhood, and in my opinion, Ubisoft should make this official.
Great job you have done here you all, keep up the good work!
I love that the animation is a bit awkward, gives it more character. The art is just lovely, great job guys :D
The entire universe around assassins creed being so deep and amazing
Pirates: WHAT ARE YE GONNA DO WITH DRUNKEN SAILOR!
This is just wonderful, amazing, and really, really well done. I think this is the perfect prequel short to Altair's commitment to the brotherhood. I love how all the assassins before him had to leave their mark like that in their own blood. In many ways and even still today, nothing is stronger than a blood-oath.
Guys here is the correct information about Assassins and their originality, I have seen some of you have different ideas and thoughts about that so read carefully. the name of Assassins was not Assassyun or maybe some of the races at that time called them Assassyun (which in Persian means Assassins the same). But The correct name for them is Hashashin. The original base and leader was From Iran from Ismailis dynasty you can google it, the leader was called Hasani Sabbah. And they did not create that organization to fight during crusades against Catholics, they did fight with them but the major reason and purpose of that organization was to threw Arabs out of Persian Empire. which at that moment Ismailis Dynasty was ruling Iran and Syria (the country of Masiaf Castle) but their Major Castle is Called Alamut Castle which is located in Iran. As I'm from Iran I have visited the castle an god thats an incredible structure.
Yes they was fighting against Abbasi Dynasty the muslim khalif government which they were located in Baghdad (Iraq) and Iranians was not happy to be under their government so they started revolutions which Hashashins is one of the Secret armies of that time. There are still many of their castles in Iran and open for public to visit. please tell your friends and let them know the correct history.
The mountain of Masyaf is one of Hasan Sabah who is the great Leader of Hshashin, search his name and you will find what I mean.
I read the Alamut castle was taken over during a siege then they made Masyaf castle
Thank you, for writing all of this down, always good to find out the history behind these things.
Assassins creed is sort of fiction based on fiction. The Inspiration was “Alamut“, by Wladimir Bartol. Its a really great book, but probably not super historically acurate. So thanks for clearing that up.
8:22 o No Swim
error de Ubisoft
The best short movie ever seen
I salute altair ibn la ahad
Glad someone found it enjoyable :)
It should have been in the bloopers, lol! XD
Beautifully done and created. Best thing I've ever seen!
I remember seeing this God knows how long, I’m replaying AC 1-Unity just finished the Anzio trilogy. At the end some of this came back like a old dream, so happy I was able to see it again.
Ezio?
The narrator did a great job! I'm very proud of his work. Keep it up!
surely he'd be losing a lot of blood rapidly. ouch
"Remember,The Decisions are made below cannot be taken back"
Like cutting his own finger lol , I know this is a ritual ,no disrespect though
Can I just ask why we had a woman near the end as an Assassin? Don't take this to be me against equal rights or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's stated somewhere either in the first game or within the codex's in AC2 (I forget where exactly) that woman were not permitted to join the Brotherhood until after Altair had killed Al Mualim and finally took over. He refers to making the Order fairer and allowing women to join, and also if I remember correctly, about abolishing the cutting off of the middle finger by adapting the hidden blade. Being only an assassin recruit before the events of AC 1, and the fact women during the medieval period were treated like mere cattle to be married off etc., I highly doubt they'd have had a woman dressed as one of the Order before then.
Other than that I did actually think this was a very good film, and fits in nicely with the storyline. Maybe you could do another one involving that rival of Altair's that went mad when he took over after Al Mualim died, as shown in AC Revelations.
The woman was one of the Ones Who Came Before who created the Pieces of Eden which the Brotherhood have fought to keep out of Templar hands for centuries. You do know your facts, and I applaud you for that, but the woman in the final room is merely one of the Ones Who Came Before. The first civilization. Don't take this the wrong way. Just answering your question as detailed as I can.
BronyinDisguise hmmm, that is logical, captain.
But why then is she wearing an Assassins outfit. I suppose it could just be how she wishes to be seen by mortals, but then if she is a One Who Came Before, its not really that consistent. In the games, whenever we see them they're dressed in togas and that ancient looking garb. Interesting idea though, I'll mull it over, thanks.
Why she is wearing the Assassin robe, I have no clue. Most likely part of the ritual. I'll do more research on my end...
about the finger-cutoff, in AC2, Ezio found a codex with he dual hiddenblade where you had to get your finger cut off, but Leonardo Da Vinci found a way where it wasn't needed to cut off. I haven't playe A1 yet so it might be that i am wrong
456creaper Actually that was Altair who discovered how to avoid cutting off the finger, after the events of AC1. He's the one that wrote the Codex pages Ezio has to find in AC2. The codex pages when all found and translated, appear to be more like a diary of Altair than just general instructions. Leonardo da Vinci just copied that particular codex's design for the revised hidden blade. What I think you mean is, he translated the codex page, because they were all in riddle or code to remain secret.
I thought it was actually an official short done by Ubisoft XD It's that good :D
First of all, this is really cool.
But imagine being one of the dudes that stand around the hole in the beginning. They are just waisting their morning to wait for Altair to get his ass back out of that hole.
Awesome work guys! this should have been in the last episode of ezio's dreams of Altair!
*shared*
So the hidden blade acted like a big knife and cut off his finger.
Nobody talking about how beautiful this looks
8:29
Altair: I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!
*5 seconds later*
Altair: *SPLAT*
That was awesome!!! I loved the part when the fire is lit and reviles all the others whose done it! Awesome job!
stunning story, keep it up!
One of the best fan made about assassin's creed, just one word: again, again.
I liked how the hidden blade removed the finger, that was pretty cool!
This was an amazingly animated video and I found it stunning and powerful it really hit all my emotions and Altair feelings this was really great
I got a question for the initiation why do they have to cut off their ring finger
The hidden blade, the main weapon of the assasins, in that time use to go right through your middle and pinky finger, thats why only the highest rank among them used it.
In Ezio's time, the hidden blade was already perfected to not need the user to rip off the finger.
To allow the blade to pass through the space of your ring finger quickly and easily, also because it is symbolic of a life long commitment to being an assassin, and being "married" to the creed, hence the ring finger being cut.
***** it wasnt even nessasary to do it because the first assassin with the hidden blade didnt have it
you can see that in the statue in ac2
seppe van den broele Well, actually in the first game, Aldair didn't had it's finger, you can see it in the game's cover and in game. :)
Its because of bayek the first assassin cut his finger by accident so it is sacared
I can see a lot of "Wilsons" on the wall. Great video.
In order to wield the hidden blade better, one must cut off his/her ring finger. It also acted as a sign of faith. Eventually Altair redesigned the blade to not require your ring finger being cut off. However, they still burned your ring finger to create a scar, reminiscent of the sacrifice.
OMG its wonderful created ı' m so impressed
I love the look of it. Has to be coolest AC fan-made movie I've seen. Amazing work.
PS: the cutting of the ring finger wasn't just a tradition, it was necessary for the use of the hidden blade, it was just later fixed so as to not make it necessary.
Ah I see, well thanks for sharing the info I'll look it up in a bit when I'm finished with dinner.
People's view of this: An awesome fan made short.
My view of this: The storyboard for the Assassin's Creed movie.
Altairs inner mind:
0:11 "Hella, that's a long way to walk!"
0:49 "Lets get that fuckin hidden blade!"
1.01 *snore*
2:38 "Please tell me at least the ROPE is not 100 years old!"
4:01 "Oh my god, are they just like..dead?!!"
5:16 "Where is the bla-ade? There it is!" :D
5:35 "Well, helloooooo.."
ehm... high four actually :-D
this seems a bit much even for the Levant Assassins.
Take notice: Word: Assassin comes from "Hashashin" it is the persian word for Assassin, since the first assassin order was formed in Syria but later expanded its headquarters and organisation to Iran, these assassins also show up in the movie prince of persia, they were elite killers and well educated, obeyed no one but themselves, the order was formed during the crusades, and at the same time the Templar order was formed, however there are no signs of connection between them like in AC series.
Darius in heaven: THATS NOT HOW YOU WEAR MY CREATION YOU FOOLS
At least Eivor wore it the intended way.
Only problems with the video are there weren't any women assassins during that time and Altair didn't swim (not saying he couldn't but he never really did lol)
Armin Arlert the Forgotten Soldier Altair can swim, it was just a glitch in the Animus. They do explain that in the game I think.
Maybe he was just afraid of water
Or maybe they didn't want you to swim. Since masyaf is high above water, if Altair fell, he wouldn't be able to get out. I'm not sure if it apply's with Damascus and such
I don't know the reason for it actually
+Armin Arlert the Forgotten Soldier (Aɾмιи Aɾℓєɾт) He's right. They so that it's a glitch in the animius that he cant swim.
6:15 screen saver
This is one of those videos on youtube that deserves alot more views...
This is so awesome. This should have been an Altair Memory sequence in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. GOD this would've been awesome.
how did his finger come off
hes used his hidden knife to cut it of
altair can't swim
jajjajajja yeah
No, is a error of the animus 1.0 ;)
haha thats a good excuse :)
:D
***** how do you know that was the glitch in 1.0, and in assassins creed 2 the desmond mission where he faint from the bleeding effect, you can jump off of the wall surrounding acre and then drown and de-sync
there is only 1 word to describe this: this is the best fucking fan made short film prequel ever
This would've made such a great memory in revelations
This is Awesome :)
Yes, and AltaÏr jump in the water...and died....
He didn't died.. Maybe your talking about the game, in the game if you go to the water you die amma right?
But Altair can really swim, the reason why he can't swim in the water in the game!.. Is Because it is bug from the machine that Desmond is in.
It depends on you're dominant side. Losing the finger is the sacrifice mainly but its also for the hidden blade. the blade naturally goes where the ring finger sits so doing that makes it easier. Ezio didn't do it because Leonardo Davinci modified it.
Thanks to Altair's new design of the hidden blade
The main bone I had to pick was the line about the Assassins using that location for hundreds of years. That's the one fact that cannot be verified (or proven false) on the AC wikia. Other than that nitpicking of a fact, very well done! Loved how this highlighted the commitment and bond that Assassins went through.
Ezio riéndose de la que se salvó
Haha wtf! At least some initiates should have had enough common scene to move their hand out of the way when using the hidden blade... Jesus! do they not see the blade or do they just fall for it?
NoisyboyGaming They have to do that, it's so they can use the HB more effectiviely, also to show they wield the blade. It was a must for those who became assassins.
The Burning Owl Unless they have arthritis I don't see why it would be that hard to hold back their finger. If it is a must than why does Ezio, Connor, and Edward know how to use the blade properly?
When Altair was close to his death, he redesigned the Hidden Blade so that no one needs to remove the ring finger and that it just needs a flick of the wrist. It was like a blue print made by Altair. Then in AC2, Ezio found it and Leonardo Da Vinci was able to remake it after translating what it said.
The Burning Owl Must suck being an assassin in the old times...
+MrMagicX *you're
Altair was made mentor of assassins after he killed Al Mualim and has since forbidden the cutting of the ring finger for the upcoming members of assassins.
And that's how Assassin is born.
Altair can't swim
yeah i know i try swimming but i Drown he died in 1191
Altair didn't die, Desmond was just desynchronized.
an amazing video!! i particularlly like the add on you did of placing his handprint in the cave with all the assassins that have gone before him, amazing work!
:-)
Dive thousands of feet into a lake with a missing finger after making no attempt to stop the blood flow. Best idea ever.
Somehow I like the first hidden blade more. It shows more challenge and responsibility to become an assassin. And you can throw a punch while sticking out your blade.
this needs more views, it was freakin awesome!!!
I laughed at the lady's hidden flamethrower way more than I should have.XD
It was stated in the game that Altair's inability to swim was part of a glitch in the Animus Software, and that Lucy needed to fix it. In other words, it is highly likely Altair could swim it's just that when Desmond is playing as Altair in the Animus he couldn't swim.
That was fucking amazing! Like holy shit I am so in love with this *o*
@deadliestcholo the early versions of hidden blade required your to remove the ring finger because the blade was activated a ring cuff on your little finger, and when you flex that little finger it operates the blade's mechanism and the blade extends out. However, when you flex your little finger up, your ring finger naturally goes down, and the blade would have sliced through it. So you had to remove the ring finger in order to use the blade, and to show commitment.
if i remember correctly, Assassins originally cut off their ring finer to show commitment to the brotherhood and to allow the original hidden blade design to work. however after obtaining the apple of Eden, Altair gained knowledge of weapons in the future so he modified the design to allow assassins to use the hidden blade without losing their ring finger since it would have been an obvious sign they where a assassin and from there they branded the ring finger instead.
that's really cool! and I love the artwork! great job guys!
I used to watch this as a kid
Even when losing a finger or two, Altair looks badass.
I really like that. Vladimir Bartol would have been proud.
The old hidden blade required you to cut your index finger do it had space to come out, however when Leonardo da Vinci made a hidden blade for Ezio, he improved it so that wasnt needed.
Read the codex pages. Altair himself modified it, and argued with the other assassins whether or not it was actually necessary to cut off the finger.
Love this sooo much I wish they made more games about Altair
Because when Altair had the Apple of Eden it gave him knowledge which he wrote in the codex (like for 2 hidden blades) and one of the codex was a concept for a hidden blade without giving such a sacrifice Leonardo only created what was in the codex that Ezio gave him.
That was freakin awesome! :D Except in that time period, nobody knew how to swim, not even the assassins. Back then, if you floated in water, you were a witch and burned at the stake...
Only a real man could willingly cut off his own finger and not make a sound.
Thats one sharp feature
He was taught the BASIC skills of combat, everything else haytham knows he learned from reginald birch. Hence why Haythams sword style is elegant and refined. And Edwards is bad ass and just powerful . And technically he wasn't raised as an assassin Edward didn't push haytham to be one he told haytham this all the time "Think for yourself" hence why when he found out edward was a assassin haytham stayed as a templar because he believed in their ideals.
I wonder if any assassin has ever failed so badly that he fell off the beam leading to the elevator, while Al-Mualim was talking.
That'd be weird.
We work in the dark to serve the dark.... We are ELECTRICIANS
ok.. so all initiates cut off the ring finger that's connected to the heart. Great!!
It’s weird how altair showed no emotion while getting his ring finger cut off while in AC origins Bayek showed emotion when his ring finger was cut off
Way to go Altair, jumping into a deserted pond with an open cut..
I missed this, so much nostalgia
No one was ever right handed
THIS IS WHERE THE BROTHERHOOD STARTS #JOINTHEBROTHERHOOD
Wow this video was post when i was 2 in fact it was the day before my birthday
The artwork is beautiful!! Kudos to Eric H.!!
