15 Things Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Doesn’t Tell You 

This game has sucked me in. I keep thinking one more question mark, one more boat battle, one more Merc. It's such a fun game

I will never understand why people dislike this game, while I may understand that this is the farthest we have ever been from an actual AC game, I can't understand people call this a bad rpg and overall just a terrible game. This game is so beautiful, so intruiging and so fun, the adventure never stops, the combat is always fun and unique, every location is so well built. I don't think I will ever see a reason to why you could possibly hate this game

In other words, just play the game as it directs you. Here are a few ACTUAL things that Assassin's Creed Odyssey doesn't tell you: 1. You don't need to board ships to get the full loot. Ramming them is faster and you get the same (maybe even more?) rewards. 2. If you're on fire, just do a dodge-roll to put it out. 3. Explore shipwrecks for new crews & ship skins.

Who else here actually really likes “explorer mode”? I’m loving it so far. Makes the game more fun/challenging

6:35 Even after 15 hours I still have yet to see my crew get demolished as bad as this moment in your video lol

This video was MALAKA

Anyone complaining about this game is clueless. This game is dam amazing. The world is massive and so detailed it keeps blowing my mind every bit I explore. The different abilities make combat the most fun AC has ever been. There is so much to do it is overwhelming which is a good thing

15: Get Spartan kick its good at kicking shields/off ledges 14: Get crowd control moves 13: Get healing 12: Get shield breaker 11: Remember to parry/dodge 10: Pay attention to armor buffs 9: Engravings are a thing 8: You can upgrade gear 7: Do enemy camps/fortresses 6: Faction wars are basically unimportant sidequests 5: No difference between Kass/Alexios (besides minor armor aesthetics) 4: Use non-lethal for recruiting 3: Collect tablets for ship upgrades 2: There's stuff underwater 1: Check for new sidequests tl;dr for anyone who isn't completely clueless since this is basically a beginners guide: Spartan Kick, Shield Breaker, and Healing are extremely good skills. Keep Legendary/Purple gear because you can upgrade it. The Faction War is irrelevant, just a means to get EXP/Items. Recruit Captains/Elites because they tend to have good ship skills. Pay attention to the map because new sidequests will appear.

"15 Things AC Origins Doesn't Tell You", proceeds to list things that the game tells you

I just started playing the game, I happened to stumble upon figuring out you can whistle at a merc until it triggers him and he attacks you so you have no penalty for killing him publicly. Also, penelopes shroud (which you get very early game) will match to the color of any armor that has cloth over the top of it like mercenary armor.

"Things AC Odyssey doesn't tell you" The game literally tell you most of those things straigthforward.

The only thing this game didn’t tell me was the roosters 😂 I can’t describe how shocked I was when they attacked me.

Little tip here. When a higher ranked bounty hunter or base captain is giving you trouble lure them on top of a tall building, edge or near a cliff and spartan kick them off. Insta kills them when they hit the ground. But be weary because the heavies dont get pushed back from it too much. However they are slow and easy to dodge

Everything I loved from black flag and origins in one game.

Dont listen to this guy about not dismantling gear. That's the dumbest shit. Don't bother keeping blue or grey items, they'll be replaced in five minutes or a trip to the blacksmith. The only gear worth upgrading is legendaries and the exotics if you like them that much but it's expensive. I say upgrade your weapons at least, and leave the armor.

I don’t understand why people dislike this game. It takes into account stealth whilst also being like a spartan demi god. The spear of Leonidas is such a cool and unique touch. The story and characters are amazing and the open world is seemingly never ending and beautiful. There are plenty of original assassins creed games to play this series would’ve fallen off imo if there was no variation to the classic themes of the original games.

These “things you didn’t know” vids about new games that pop up on all gaming channels usually have the worst actual advice if you play video games somewhat regularly at all lol

This isn't really a "things the game doesn't tell you", more like a... We've played the game, here are our tips. I couldn't imagine a game tool tip to say, "The Spartan Kick is incredibly useful... you should get it".

This is my first assassins creed game. But i was never into the others but the whole greek lore and rpg mechanics made me try it and i am so happy i did. I dont think i would have liked the older games.

15 things the game doesn’t tell you: “use parrys and perfect dodges”. It tells you this at the start of the game

Here are some of my tips - if you’re not very good at naval combat you can leave the helm of the ship and block the enemy ships path and most of the time, in my experience, it stops the ship allowing you to swim to it and use normal combat - Spartan kick isn’t the best ability in the combat area but if you have points to spare you should get it as it is useful to stop unstoppable attacks - rolling around stops fire on your character -if a lynx jumps on your back roll around to get it off -upgrade the second wind (healing if I got the name wrong) as soon as possible so you can gain half your health back and gets rid of debuffs And now a tip for post game -finally, if you unlock Deimos as a lieutenant, use the call of arms ability to summon him/her into combat as they use the same moves from the boss battle in the end of chapter 8

The torch is underrated as a weapon. It deals constant fire damage and normal damage of your primary weapon.

If you guys want to upgrade your ships fast, there are about 6 or 7 ruin locations on Lesbos.

Am i the only one that chooses alexios

It's a great game so far

The best armour is Achilles set for healing quick and best weapon is Arachne's Stingers

Straight up love this game. Bought it during Covid, best the main story and killed all the cult members. Picked it back up a month ago and found out here’s so much DLC. I’ve been playing it every day nonstop. Haven’t even touched The Fate of Atlantis yet. It’s like a whole other game added on to it. This game is 10/10 best AC game made so far.

I’m at level 14, but this morning I came head to head with a level 35 mercenary and by the grace of god somehow I survived. We have a lonnnng way to go before beating this game my friends.

You can also hire the mercenaries by knocking them out with the Spartan kick ability. Some are legendary status and really help your ship

When I hit a perfect dodge I always go behind the enemy to confuse him

Here’s a real actual tip. I’ve heard even some reviews say “you can’t leave your ship whenever” yes you can hold Y or Triangle and you can there did your job for you Gamingbolt

Man I'm playing it now and damn near every enemy has a resistance to my spartan kick. They just won't fly off as easy as earlier game

It's gone from "Assassin's Creed" to being centered around finding the Eden Artifacts and the fact that you actually get to wield one (Spear) explains why they went back further than Origins to find them

Bought this on Black Friday for 27 and bought origins gold edition for 40 bucks today don’t know witch to play they are both so gorgeous

Tip number 16:unlock the viewpoints.The sidequests can pop up anywhere on the map and having fast travel unlocked makes it easier.

I consider myself really good at Odyssey and still found this really helpful. The underwater ruins are the one things I completely ignore but I can assume based on this, you can find some cool ship skins 👏

The spartan kick stops being useful at higher levels(30+)

"15 Things Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Doesn’t Tell You" Describes things that are litterally explained in the tutorial.

When you weren’t parrying it triggered me

I feel like people give this game crap for no reason other than nostalgia. I personally love this game and Greek history/mythology. This game was one of my favorites

is it just me? or i complete all the areas with question mark before leaving a town. i cant sleep with a remaining one

I recommend getting poseidons trident and then engraving the legendary engravement "Breathe Underwater". It helps alot

shield brake skill should be unlocked as soon as possible because you have a better chance at beating stronger enemies, as well as to deal damage to non-shield ones. Strangely, it is one of the most underestimated abilities in the game

Still one of the most beautiful and atmospheric games out there. Sure, the open world is too big, activities get repetitive, the conquest battles add very little, inventory/item management is a chore... But the rest still among the best of the genre.

You shouldn’t ignore the big battles. If you side with the invading forces, after the big battle, you get two pieces of epic gear

Fun fact: athens only use shield not spartans So when goin against spartan (on conquest battles) replace shield breaker

FYI Don’t kill the Merc’s you can recruit them to go on your ship. Just knock them out with the spartan kick and they will usually be legendary allies.

I don't remember the game mentioning it but if you jump from a high place and press the dodge button right before you land you can completely ignore fall damage.

Dev game much... 7:37 look at the resources lol..

This video is the equivalent of telling me I was never told to breathe.

Thanks for the gaming tips GamingBolt. I'll try to remember these when the time comes.

The spartan kick is most useful when mercenaries are after you in a ship. 1: in a ship it lowers the mercenarie's level by like 3. 2: you can kick them off and they will eventually drown so you dont really have to fight them.

"Things they don't tell you... Use your abilities. Use your brain when equiping gear. Complete map objectives." Gee, thanks.

Assassin creed. The early games in the franchise explore the subject of assassins forming a creed to fight the templar in a struggle over the claim of mystical objects made by a fallen advanced civilisation of higher beings that created humans. For a very long time players and developers are focusing on exploring and expanding on this story aspect in the franchise with even the name of the franchise even being name after the assain creed itself. Until later on the story shifted away from the fight between the assain creed and templar to what they are actually fighting over and what these things, power and truth are capable of. This has now been what assain creed have evolve into. If you follow the lore in assassin creed it basically tell everything that happened after the fall of ISU and modern primates aka humans using machines and genetic memories in their dna to relive the past memories in order to look into the entire span of the traverse and passed timeline. Everything from the restarting of civilisations and empires to lives and dramas of the people living in its historical periods and settings etc. The games is trying to tell you what people are fighting or protecting over, what is the original version of the human faiths, how countries are form and how mythology monsters came about etc. Assassin creed has become an attempt and an encapsulation of everything that have ever happened from the BC all the way to the AD era up to this very present moment. Everything you know, do, and live is all part of the assassin creed universe. Trying to help people understand what is going on nowadays when they start to see their assassin games changing with each new game ubisoft releases out.

Eh, the tip about the Ancient Tablets (#3) is wrong. Yes, the Tablets are very important and you should go out of your way to track them down, but they're almost never found at enemy forts or camps. They are almost exclusively found at Ruins (the icon looks like a red tower with a chunk missing) and you can see which ones have them by checking the location details once you get close enough to the Ruin and looking at the pop up (or holding L3 for a second). Each tablet pickup you find at a Ruin gives you 4 tablets to use for ship upgrading.

The biggest secret of them all, upgrade weapon and armor with critical chance and critical chance while full health. in the end game, it will allow you to one shot almost every enemy, in combat or in stealth, including powerful mercenaries.

Faction wars are very helpful because one you get a lot of xp and some decent gear. Also if you are better at fighting archers you want the Athenians to be in the area because they have better archers but worse soldiers so the easier faction to fight. Also ancient tablets are mostly found in ruins almost every ruin gives you 4 ancient tablets to upgrade the ship.

I want the Spartans to win but sometimes i fight with the Athenians because they’ll give me more gear lol

TOP PRO TIP: You can recruit mercenaries that attack you! All of them are epic, and some even legendary!!! To do this, make sure to end them with a spartan kick - this knocks them out rather than killing them so you still have the option of recruiting them after the fight :)

I swear on my combat behalf in this game, I have not seen one single youtuber, out of every AC Odyssey youtuber I watch, ever use the parry in combat. I just sit there face palming myself and cringing when they doge instead of parrying. Not to mention how many times they get hit. USE THE PARRY PEOPLE!

this is by far the best game in the AC Saga.

They should have just called this game “Odyssey” and started fresh with a new universe

the battles are very good for getting epic gear. If u side with the attacker or invader you get 2 epic gear and can a few thousand drachmae as well as you can loot like 30 bodies after for another few thousand. Also some cultists show up in these wars and completing challenges is really easy in these wars as you can kill like 35 guys in a few minutes. Adds better engravings as well.

If you don't clear out militadias fort before doing the quest with Kyra there you won't be able to complete it. I found this to be quite frustrating.

"You're gender doesn't change much'' had me confused for a second. I took it literally like your gender does actually change throughout the game.. just not much.

More like ‘here’s 15 abilities we used whilst playing the game’

Just got this game a few days ago and am really enjoying it. Learning new stuff every time I play.

I've been predominantly doing side quest or during story mode I would complete all side quest when I unlock new areas. Dont mind taking my time on this one, game is awesome 👍

Title: Things which odyssey never tells you Video: Everything told my odyssey Me: Malaka!

As long as there's no microtransactions then I'm happy

I love how this game doesn't care how you play I love just walking into a fort decimating everyone with whatever weapons I choose, been trying daggers recently as I found a helm with dmg with dagger and sword+ warrior damage+ damage with dagger+ I also put warrior damage on it In total its a +66% damage, I got this at a low level so the perks are only teir 6 unfortunately if anyone knows how to increase the teir of the built in perks plz let me know

One tip if u are low level like me and explore underwater a lot find out how to get the posideon spear and then engrave the effect into your current weapon.enjoy breathing underwater👍

Game was on sale this week, got the gold bundle for $25, I’ve been hooked since

5:09 I’m sorry but did you just pronounce “Polemarchs” as “Pole Marches”?

An actual trick in Odyssey where you could beat any mercenary (even if their levels are high): -Get his/her attention -Quickly climb a Temple of some god/goddess. -shoot at them with arrows. For some reason they don't climb the Shrines or Temples. I guess for not disrespecting the god.

7:40 LMAO, I'm too scared to get attacked by the kraken to do that ! xD

Gender does play a role though. Kassandra is definitely a more memorable character based on dialogue alone.

I don't get why everyone keeps saying this. Assassin's Creed has always been an action RPG. You've always had to level up, collect stronger gear, unlock abilities, grind for experience, (semi) open world map with fast travel. This is taking it further but it's still the same over all set up. Kill down a long line of baddies to find the one who wronged your family.

As a longtime AC fan, (been playing since AC 2’s release). This is the first game I decided not to pick up at release date because I thought it was basically Origins with just a new setting. I was also so hyped for RDR 2 that I didn’t really care about yet another AC. But after some months after release I heard so many good things about the game, that I just got it after all. And I was massively surprised, Ubisoft actually listened to their angry AC fans and made it even better than Origins.

I got to say WOW. I have always intrigue of Assassins creed games but I have been disappointed in them so many times that I stop trying to make myself like them. But Odyssey is something else. I can't stop playing it. Great game.

Had to sell my 6 ps4 titles to get this one.

6:12 no it isnt syndicate had 2 playable charaters

this is true in early game but in the endgame things like ring of chaos or hero strike are the major skills and if you buy dlcs its completely different

I found out the spartan kick when I killed the dad and kicked off that bill he was on🤣

15 things everyone knew about assassin‘s creed odyssey

7:37 unlimited supplies??😱

There's another important thing about the gear that people should be aware of; The Legendary Armor Pieces are NOT the best armor in the game. Let me clarify, while they do have the highest armor rating, the difference between a Legendary chest piece and an Epic one is minimal at best. At level 50, there is only a 132 difference in between a legendary chest piece and Epic (I forgot the exact numbers, but I remember the Legendary's armor rating was over 2500, while the Epic was in the 2400s). And since each Legendary gear only has the main attribute and one Engraving (not including the one you can add yourself), they can be considered much weaker than Epic, since en Epic has two to it (again, not including the one you can add to it). It's not as bad with the weapons, though, since all Legendary Weapons has a third, special Engraving on them. But the armor pieces don't unless you equip all five, and if you did, you'd be missing out on a LOT of perks.

Spartan kick has one more useful feature: it is non-lethal. Meaning that using it as a finishing move with knock out someone instead of killing them. You can recruit and whatnot or simply not have wanted for murder on your head when a civilian attacks you in a middle of a fight with guards.

Can't create a second save file so you could play as both. And it's dumb to spend pts on the animus pulse. I miss the damn shield!!

Are there tombs like in Origins?

This game is ridiculously addicting...

Its ironic how he mentioned obvious features are easy to grasp but smaller ones dont get promoted and then he proceeded to miss to mention the most useful aspect about the spartan kick - You can literally initiate the fight against any level enemy, regardless how much stronger than you, disengage, lure them to highground and simply kick them off. I initiated fight against multiple mercenaries multiple times, lured them to a slope or something like that and kicked them off it

It's pronounced po-le-marks not pole marches

I wanted to eat that chicken but it was covered in GREECE. Afterwards I played this game and made MINERVOUS and had to do a poo in my MARBLEOUS toilet. It was a good toilet I took for GRANITE. Too much information? Well then my APOLLO-GEES! I had to ZEUS the toilet.

please tell me how to use the second melee ability wheel/set of abilities! which shows under the primary. some people say you need level 15 and spear 3 upgrade. But I am done spear 5 upgrade and a@ level 46, so tell me how to activate /use of that.

I wasnt paying attention at the beginning and dont know how to lock on to enemies. How do you do it/what does it do?

Odessey is an amazing game so far. It gives the player a freedom that no other AC did before. For the next one it would be cool if the choice of gender would also have an impact on the story.

#5 so AC Syndicate has been eliminated from the timeline?

the assassinations are so satisfying, you just hide in a bush and whistle and swiftly kill each and every one of your enemies. Beautiful, its hard to explain how addictive this game is well done ubisoft, very cool.

Hi, can't seem to find the treasures in the boeotia cave of oracle. ANY HELP OUT THERE? Thanks
