10 Insane Details In Assassin’s Creed 

Adam and Eve theory is crazy, holy moly.

The Headless Horseman from AC 3 & Rogue comes to mind.

Another cool detail similar to the Leave Her Johnny one, when you’re exploring the Kenway mansion you need to play a tune on the piano to open a secret passage. The tune you play is Lowlands Away from AC 4

A few from Origins: 1) If you visit the cave that Layla has set her self up in while playing as Bayek through the Animus he’ll talk about himself and Aya 2) In the lake north east of Letopolis there’s a stone TARDIS from Doctor Who 3) One of the messages in the Isu buildings suggests Layla’s Animus can actually affect events and not just relive them, foreshadowing how Odyssey introduces branching dialogue trees and storylines. From Odyssey: The lead up to the Fate of Atlantis DLC involves Alexios/Kassandra going to specific tombs, where the gameplay shifts to Layla exploring the tombs looking for a specific symbol. If you’ve already gone through them as Alexios/Kassandra then any damage you’ve done or chests opened will be reflected in Layla’s visit. Both the first and third chapters could be foreshadowing plot twists in Valhalla, the Fields of Elysium where Persephone and Hecate try to influence Alexios/Kassandra like how Juno and Minerva are with Desmond, and the appearance of Juno and Aita in Judgment of Atlantis hinting that storylines may be repeating especially since we see an Assassin fall under the influence of a Piece of Eden to unintentionally kill an ally (and another Isu and Isu Sage relationship where resurrection is the goal, sacrificing someone to The Grey).

Ezio didnt discover the Colosseum vault in brotherhood randomly. If you read the letters you collect when completing lairs of romulus it actually becomes an account of Brutus encountering the vault and meeting the Isu, he is also the one who told Ezio how to open and close it.

When you arrive to Alexandria for the first time in AC Origins, you can find Aya's home. There, you will find the murdered victims of the 2 members of the Order of the Ancients that she killed (Actaeon and Ktesos), along with an Order member mask on the floor. You have to go to the house before you meet Aya, I think, as if you go after, it won't be there. I could be wrong on the timing, but I know for certain that it does disappear after a certain point. It's a really cool detail that I don't think most see - I never did on my first play through, only later ones.

There's a note in a little house in Valhalla that will show you a list of the Horcuxes in Harry Potter. I have a screenshot, but I don't remember where the house is.

Hello, i'm a fan and i think you're really underrated, AC youtubers in general are underrated it's like the franchise is unpopular on the platform. And you are one of the most underrated.

Adam and Eve. Arno and Elise. A and E. Seems like a fun nod but probably not connected to the other Adam and Eve stuff in the series

In Valhalla, if you go into the tattooist's hut you can find a note detailing ideas for new tattoo designs. One of them is "A dragon, breathing fire, with the wings of a bat and arms of a man" and then "Note also: The dragon's arms are very muscular" this is a reference to Trogdor the Burninator

Worth mentioning are references to character of "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred from works of H.P. Lovecraft to be found in AC: Mirage. One book that Basim can find in the ruins of Seleucia is nothing other than Necronomicon itself.

There's interesting historical fact about AC3 ship Aquilla. During American revolutionary war every British captain is told to not have any direct combat against American frigate ship (Aquilla is frigate) since they're are much powerful than average British ship. This historical story actually present in AC3 since Aquilla is always superior against every ship in the game

Altaïr is the only protagonist to form a fist while the hidden blade is active since he has a missing ring finger

I always love learning new things about a game I’ve been playing for so long, cool vid man!

I'd love seeing this as a series. I love your videos and I can watch them in the background while doing something, or just watch them alone. My favourite yt channel at the minute. Keep up the good work man

8:10 it is also a reference to humanity rostored

Love the Adam and Eve comparison for Unity prologue scene! great spots, I remember Valhalla's Honey mission, but missed the Winnie the Pooh reference! Thanks for sharing, and if you have more, looking forward to seeing them! Great job, and excellent video!

Fantastic video. I seriously love how you are discovering new details in this amazing franchise.

waited so long for something like this thank u a lot:D

One thing I really like about valhalla is that the game is PACKED with Easter eggs. There is a Bloodborne reference in valhalla. There is a cassette with a label "Fear the old blood" and the hunters mark.

there's the one in AC Valhalla where the dude asks you to get the arm ring I think out of the river, he is very reminiscent of Gollum.

In Dawn of Ragnarok DLC from Valhalla there is a world event called Hyrrokin's Gift that is a nod to Lord of the Rings where you help a dwarf name Frodri get rid of a ring that he claims is bringing him bad luck. There is also the world event in the Valhalla base game called Alisa in Wunderlandscire that is referring to Alice in Wonderland. Lastly, with The Last Leaf of Fall world event you can find Mae's father in Lincoln with a note.

I’ve a theory about the identity of the entity. It could possibly be the spirit or ghost of Ymir. I know it’s a bit of a stretch and the antlers do suggest otherwise but considering its size, demeanour and spooky presence, it might very well be the ghost of Ymir haunting Odin/Havi all those centuries ago.

Damn, I'm so early Appreciate your work 🎉

In AC Odyssey as well there was a really similar looking place to where T'challa fought M'baku and then later against killmonger for who becomes Black Panther. There's even two people fighting there when you come and people are watching.

Bro I've played Unity so many times I never even knew that there was cakes to collect around the world nice.

awesomeeee!!!! make it a series and compare the soundtracks

also in syndicate you can sometimes find a guy singing heres a health to the company and blow the candles out which might is probably a reference to black flag

3:13 I just consider him as Dahaka from prince of Persia lol

Nice work 😊

10:09 that sounds like Nils Brown! He also did work on the shanties in AC3, 4, and Rogue and is friends with Sean Dagher, the one who sang the lead part of Leave Her Johnny in AC4

Adam and Eve comparison is very apt

11:31 the example from Black Flag is something that actually happens irl just way deeper down in the ocean

we would love a series

There's a reference to The Prodigy in some ruins in AC:V where encounter some band playing

Very cool man❤

If you dont catch the kids friends calling him Hytham, im pretty sure the subtitles called him Young Eagle, which is the name translation for Haytham, Connors dad. and i think i saw a theory that kenway named his kid after one of the most prominent assassins in england history, right at the turn of hidden ones to assassins, Hytham.

4:42 ayooo😂

1:26 when i first played ac3 i thought that the ship was the ship from the starting of prince of persia: warrior within as that was the game ubisoft focused on before ac

In Valhalla, while in Lunden, you find the mysterious list. A nod to Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter.

I would love a series .No else points out the incredible amount of details in these games.

Here is a random nice detail In ac 1 if you knock out someone with your fists and dies after or sleeps but pretty sure they die the guards won't care or none will comment on it

there is the one about the sages in ac4 and the final boss in unity being one and also meeting him in the begining of the game when chasing the cart before the party when elise's father die

We need more of this from the other games the real life lore

3:12 I never saw that in Jötunheim :(

Not sure how well known this is, but the 3 witches you fight in for the sword keys in AC Valhalla are named after 3 princesses in Shakespeare's King Lear play. Reagan, Gonril, and Cordelia

In assassin creed valhalla there's a very fun easter egg it's from Robin Hood men in tights it the tune that's played by the Sheriff of Nottingham troops playing the trumpet but in the game most towns you can hear peasants humming or whistling the tune

Edward putting on Duncon's outfit in AC4 BF is similar to Ezio putting on his father's outfit in AC2.

12:27 i only saw it like a apple of eden.

This was great I knew 4/10 thank you for pronouncing Aquila right Faulkner(Gibbs for pirates) says it wrong like akilla. Also I thought right away of beast in the woods from over the garden wall that’s my interpretation. Also like the Adam and Eve one at the end

In syndicate there is also another reference to a sea chanty in mission where evie has to infiltrate edwards estate. She has to open a secret door by playing a couple of notes on the piano and the notes resembles another sea chanty from black flag.

The entity is definitely not a wendigo. They don't look like or act like that, nor would they be in that location.

in assassins creed syndicate in the mission with the theatre there is an ezio poster

I am very glad to know the Swedish Brotherhood almost built the Aquila before telling Achilles to contact the French Brotherhood.

Might as well say it... but when you do the soundtracks/Music/Main theme video(es) don't forget Chronicles, Liberation, Freedom Cry... they have music (not much but show some love for the smaller AC games)

I remember Duncan From ac 3

People that don't know abt the squid in AC2 are my personal enemies

3:12 it also reminds of that shadow monster on Skellige from Witcher 3, where you have to put a baby in the oven

Im 99% sure young hythem does indeed take the jump, i remember a line from basim asking if he was okay or whatever Also just how adam chose to follow eve andcaused a spring of consequences Arno chose to follow elise and in the split second where his father was looking for him distracted his father long enough for shay to kill him, just like if adam didnt go with eve bad things mostly wouldn't have happened, if arno chose to stay in his seat and wait for his father, shay probably wouldn't have had a chance, as i dont believe shay would've willingly kill his father infront of him

What’s the background music that starts at the second secret for Valhalla called?

which font do you use

In rogue you can see arno talking to elis

12:55 *"is this a valid comparison to make(to adam and eve)"* considering the secret video file of adam and eve stealing the apple of eden from the precursor people/Isu in AC2, i think you're right on the money. always wished they continued that story hook, in the early games they loved tying into famous conspiracies, and i was expecting that Adam and Eve video to lead to a sort of "Origin" story game set in babylon/sumeria and talking about the annunaki gods, IE the Isu. in the mesopotamian creation myth, Enki/Ea creates us to be servants, but can't get it right til he adds the dna of all the other gods, which the other gods are not too keen on but agree, so long as we don't have the potential for immortality or enlightenment. when it's made known that we DO have at least one of those, the other gods are not pleased about it, and eventually the god Enlil causes the Flood/Deluge (the babylonian version of the Noah myth from the bible) in order to try and destroy us because we are "Annoying and noisy". Enki warns a human man and tells him to build a boat to survive, just like the biblical version. considering the later additions to the lore about "Sages" with Isu DNA and stuff like that, i was expecting Ubisoft to circle back to that concept, but they never did. this easter egg was neat, but also sort of felt like salt in the wound to me, teasing something they hinted at earlier and know they haven't and do not intend to give us a conclusion to. now that they did AC:Origins and went in a different direction, that story hook is no longer convenient and sort of just a loose end, an ugly hangnail on the series. i think they did this intentionally, so as not to alienate the judeo-christian demographic or create a scandal by hitting that core mythos. sad, really, that idea had a lot of potential.

it may not be as much a detail as in this video but at the end of rogue we can have shay lsiten to the conversation of arno and elise after the apple is stolen, where is in unity we have a cutscene without shay present. Basicaly AC Unity cutscene in rogue plays out as two child NPCs having a chat.

In AC Valhalla, there is a Side Quest referring to Robin Hood in…. (You guessed it) Nottinghamshire

In black flag, there's a ship called The Hollander and Holland = Dutch so it could be referencing the flying dutchman from pirates of the caribbean. And in Dutch, the flying dutchman is De Vliegende Hollander so it seems the ship we help as an ally in AC Black Flag is the dutchman which seems to be a reference to the flying dutchman that Davy Jones captained in Pirates of the Caribbean.

The Valhalla entinty is actually a spirit that protects the Woodlands of Norse Mythology, it's basically like Swamp Thing from DC Comics that protects the swamp and all wooded areas across Earth.

I have a weird memory of coming across the giant cake in unity and fighting the guy and being happy about the money but I know I didn’t go and do all the cakes unless I somehow did it by complete accident but I know I fought him

Haven’t watched yet, but if it’s not in. AC Mirage actually does have a mirage of the djinn in the desert

8:11 ac unity/after is when its hard like dark souls.

Actually i might have heard that song of leaver her Johnny in rdr2 in chapter2 i was chillin around camp and then i heard them sing it

In AC valhalla, Reda the merchant appears from AC Origins and one of his stories is about Bayek and Aya's story of vengeance

The fire pumpkin head in ac3, I really don’t remember the mission name

Wendigos don't turn people into cannibals, upon tasting anothers flesh a wendigo spirit in the forest can possess

I played Unity so much, where do you start the cake collection?

When I saw that shadow in Jottunhein I asked to Darby on Twitter What it was, he told me it was just a shadow, but I prefer the theorys

With the Adam and Eve one I found out from Leo k if you want to speak to him about details he could be a guy to go to for that

Leave her Johnny.. I still listen to it in spotify

This might be the Ac equivalent of xLetalis⁉️

Maris Deion looks like the ghost in the hogwarts legacy shop dlc

The giant squid if that was the Kraken then it’d need to be in Valhalla because the kraken is a Norse mythical creature so why would it be in any other game except for Valhalla and tbh it isn’t even in Valhalla nether is the Midgard serpent I feel those are the only things that Ubisoft should’ve put in Valhalla and the kraken doesn’t have to be in the Asgard sections they could just put it in the ocean near east anglia

The Adam and Eve bit seems like a massive stretch.

Who else here killed Winifred the Bear when they played Valhalla? I know I did. I felt a little bad about it afterward, the child was very sad I killed their friend

Is that coincidence that arno and elise first letter is same "A" and "E" Adam and eve 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Hey there bro @TheHiddenOne690 it appears that you're using footage from one of my videos that I released over 10 months ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eJS-oVDIXKs.html regarding the Duncan Little easter egg, specifically at 3:20 - 3:40 & 3:51 - 4:17 of your video, if you want to use other people's content then that's fine, but I'm requesting that you credit me for the footage in the video or now in the description for that footage, as I'm a fan of your channel and have been watching for a while and don't appreciate seeing content I've recorded myself being uploaded on another video without credit. ​​⁠

I see in a video that un ORIGINS, i think in one of te DLCs Jesús christ it's mention

Ok just FYI. Maquis is pronounced Mar-key (like for the lock) and Aquila is pronounced A-key-la

According to AC 2, Adam and Eve were real.

The fact that most of these secrets are in Valhalla still it gets the hate

5:14 should had been in china and a boy would be there by the name of xing-ping

Headless Horseman.

My favorite small details comes from Arno's movements, he overflows with inexperience, he stumbles when falling while still trying to run, he flails his arms mid air, he puts too much weight in his sword attacks, and everything fits his character very well, he feels the most believable assassin, in spite of his ridiculously long jumps

I never realized that Adam and Eve reference. Plus throughout the story Elise is constantly tempting Arno and encouraging him to do stuff. Man, Unity's story could have been so amazing if they had developed it more...

why don't you rank DLCs

Black flag has the best soundtrack no competition

James Bond Reference in Assassin's Creed Revelations?? Ezio, Ezio Auditore.

Or maybe it’s a nod to pet semetary

Blag Flag shit code that change ennemies on crazy rabbits. From Ezzio trilogy you encounter at different time Duccio de Luca and knock him at each time. On Brotherhood, you can see that a lot of faces are re used a lot of time, but one time I saw on a random citizen the face of the father of ezzio 💀💀

Details and ac dont mix
