Assassin's Creed: The Truth Episode 24 - Odyssey Modern Day EXPLAINED! (Layla, Staff & Isu Messages) 

Assassin's Creed: The Truth Episode 25 - Tyler is the True Father of Understanding.

99% of the fanbase: Can we have a decent modern day storyline? Ubisoft: Look we have some more mythical creatures and shit

This video is longer than the modern day segments in Oydessy lol.

Tynamite! You are the only streamer/youtuber/content creator that knows and understands the true AC lore and it hurts that not even Ubisoft doesnt understand it as the hardcore fans do. Hopefully we will get more modern day/templars vs. assassins/first civ storyline in the next games. And im talking about a 70% past day, 30% present day amount of time. I rly like the idea of time and the node/code theory, hopefully our minds will be blown like in previous AC games. Keep it up!!

I’ve always been a staunch defender of the modern day aspect of Assassins Creed, from Desmond and onward. Although I didn’t like what Unity and Syndicate did, I still supported it in hopes the modern day would get better. I was wrong. Modern day sucks now, they put all of the important stuff in the comics like killing off Juno, Desmond’s son, and how Layla became the leader of a small team of Assassins. I’m just ready to drop it all together. The comics have taken out an antagonist built up in the games since AC III, introduced the child of a fan favorite character, and have made Layla even less interesting by pushing all of her development to the side by placing them in the comics rather than the games.

I just want Shawn Hastings back

This guy deserves to have more people watching

Your attention to detail is terrific, I don't know how you do it. I've played through all these games yet I have to watch your videos to remember the cutscenes I watched that contain these plot points.

It’s not just any Odyssey. ItS yOuR OdysSey!

Great video Tyler, been waiting for this one! Best AC series out there, your understanding of the lore is awesome. Epic gamer!

Isn't that nice Ubisoft made a reference to the four pillars in their game! Great video 😀

To me, it kind of looks like the series is aiming to reboot itself. Getting rid of Isu and their artifacts, changing time. Probably getting rid of the Animus as well, as it seems like the big portion of fanbase does not like modern day story and all "Animus stuff". Changes in direction and gameplay would also suggest that Ubisoft wants to reboot the series.

Incredible video Tyler! Appreciate all the time and effort you put into making it. You proved once again you are better than Ubisoft!

I don't know if anyone else saw it differently but when I heard the "Break the code. Break the node" my first thought was that if Layla can figure out the code of time and find out how to use the animus to see Isu memories, she can find an instance where someone purposefully made it where a human couldn't be controlled. She could them use that information to find a way to reprogram human minds so they can no longer be controlled by and use Pieces of Eden. It would make the modern day story super important if there was a way to make humans who were previously easily controlled into people who could resist PoE effects

1. If the Isu could re-write reality, why didn’t they save themselves from destruction, it couldn’t be because the staff required the Animus and it would allow it, because the memory seals from Revelations functioned basically the same way as an Animus 2. If the staff prevented aging from when it was wielded than why did Alexios drop dead almost immediately after letting go of it, and would allow him to age normally 3. Maybe Isu had something equivalent to Meta Genes (like DC comics) and how when Juno made a reference to the Isu having 6 senses to a Humans 5, maybe it allowed them to see into the future

I'm sorry but I dont think they have any real plan for the modern day story

I've finished the Staff of Hermes quest 1st then the Cult. It feel underwhelming. how do you know if it's finished? Usually you go back to the modern world where the credits roll. Have I missed something?

2 kinds of people who watch this: those who want a recap for valhalla and those who realized odyssey is way too long to play through and became very boring

Altough the idea of neither Chaos or Orden must win over the other is interesting, I can't stop thinking that most of that concept reduce a little the epicness feeling of what we've been building since the first AC. Is like every Assassin and Templar have done everything wrong and for nothing. Here comes someone special that will restore the balance and that must be the correct answer... I guess at the end of the day the Assassins and Templars will be history, but I prefer the Assassins being the correct answer but that's just my opinion.

here’s a thought: what if they’re trying to use the staff to undo the shit that happened in the modern day after desmond died?

oh shit a game set in the first civilization would me CRAZY

Imagine in the Next AC at end you hear Clay explain Desmond everything And Layla wakes up from Animus and says Adam

Tyler... please.... you gotta do a video explaining what’s happening with the comics. I was going through the AC wiki, and apparently there are some MAJOR bombshells(like Juno’s human form) being dropped in AC media outside of the games. Help us out please 🙏🙏🙏

Tynamite Is this the perfect time to bring back the "Prince Of Persia : Assassin " game , In AC Odyssey , There was flashbacks of Leonidas and the spartan army fighting against "persians" So that makes an AC game taking a place in Persia possible , And since POP games were all about manipulating time , Layla may be able to break the node with the help of assassin Prince and his time controlling items like the dagger and the amulet which they can be changed into pieces of Eden , This may work perfectly , Prince was able to control time like it was nothing and through POP games we could see all the possibilities how to manipulate time , Just imagine how this can be bigger in the AC world where Layla entering the animus as Prince and control the events of the story through manipulating time and trying to make the best choices to succeed in the task of breaking the node

I don't like this character, she looks acts and sounds like a product of the politically correct "girl power" movements, she has no flaws and is guaranteed a grand destiny. Im not saying Desmond was a good character, but unlike Layla he had flaws, he started as an average Joe with some interesting ancestry, learned the skills of the assassins through Ezio sure but he didn't become a tech wizard or a history nerd, everyone had a role in the team. Layla just does it all, cell leader, tech wizard, historian to a certain extent, she can fight because of the bleeding effect, and worst of all she gets the grand destiny without even being related to the Misthios. She can be a good character, but she has to let go of that perfection the writers gave her. She has to make mistakes at some point or she will be a far more dull character than Connor or Arnaud.

I hope Layla marks the end for this group of Victoria, Williams etc. In the lead up to Origins, Ash kept saying that they'd been listening to the community about modern day. I think by this he meant that the next modern day would have playable, 3rd person gameplay, which it did. The end in Origins definitely showed some potential, but Odyssey trashed it. The mention of Desmond's son in Syndicate means they will show him more soon, that's just Ubisofts way with AC. So imagine if Desmond's son was an ancestor of Bayek and was the main character for the modern day in a Bayek sequel, meaning Bayek had another kid which would lead to an interesting event in the story (maybe he loses control of himself, and takes it out by making a baby lol). And with that, he is able to relive his memories for real. Also, if there is another game with Bayek, then it would take place when Octavian/Augustus, Mark Antony and Cleopatra, and other Roman generals were in civil war. Augustus is the leader of the order of the ancients, but seems to have won the end according to history, as he became the first and most successful emperor of the Roman Empire. It would be very interesting to show how effective a 'templar' can be, and will be an interesting internal conflict for Bayek throughout the game. While he is becoming an old man, and Augustus is rising to fame, Bayek will have to deal with the uncertainty of the creed living on, and Augustus and the order of the ancients succeeding. Maybe Desmond's son is torn between who's philosophy is right throughout the game as well. Of course, Amunet apparently kills Cleopatra in ~30bc, even after Cleopatra and Mark Antony lose Rome to Augustus, I would be very intested in how Ash's team would spin that, and if the slim chance of darby helping with the writing is true, then I would be confident that he would make it very compelling and different to Ezio's sequel.

Great video Tyler, this was really well laid-out and explained!

They better not go full X-Men: days of future past and retcon all the previous games to suit their new direction.

Layla looks like The Tempest. Layla is a tainted one.

This channel is so underrated

Tyler.... Do you even now how much it hurt to see Bayek in between. Origins was so much better of a game. Anyways, amazing Video again, keep going❤️❤️

Your explanation is interesting, it reminds me of the relationship the time lords from dr who view time, there are fixed points in time that cannot be changed or reality will collapse, but the time lords can almost "see" and instinctively understand time is not simply linear, and can comprehend alternate timelines and dimensions

Amazing video, this creator has put a lot of effort and it pays off! Subscribed

Thank you so much for this!! I just finished the game with a platinum trophy and stopped at level 65 with 113 hours put into the game. But I was a bit confused with the modern day ending. This video clarified it all

So basically, the link between Origins and Odyssey is that in Origins Layla casually found the mommies of Bayek and Aya and witnessed the birth of the hidden ones but all that doesn’t matter what matters is the messages from Alethia so that Layla went in the search of the staff of Hermes to stop a new end of the world. And during the investigation Layla again casually found the book of Herodotus, the spear of Leonidas and the DNA of Kassandra. So the present story of Origins and Odyssey are basically casualties?

Thanks for all the effort ❤

This video to me at least sums up how stupid this whole modern day element in assassins really is

Been waiting for this

The modern day would have been so much better if they just didn't put that stupid time skip. Knowing ubisoft it will probably be covered in a comic. Also that suit. How can this company expect us to take this game seriously by throwing in stupid shit like that. If ezio ever met desmond wearing a suit the series would have been finished years ago. For some reason the people who liked this game let stupid things like that slide because it's not a real AC anymore.

Uhhh... where's the actual ending though? Does Layla stop Atlantis or not? That's what I'm wondering about... like did they even added that part in there???

The thing about a balance between the 2 conflict sides reminds me of star wars episode 8

So the current modern day isn’t that bad after all...

Can you imagine an "endgame battle" kayla manipulates time by breaking the code, and all the assassins that we've played as over all the years vs all the templars, that would be amazing

And then Layla loses control and becomes a villain at the end of the DLC

Awesome video Tynamite. I think in the future Layla will be visiting the Isu in the past since that has been teased as far back as AC: 3.

Apparently I’m not the only fan that’s mad because nowadays the games don’t tell as shit about modern day and we gotta learn all about it in comics/books/youtube

I really don’t like the direction the modern day is going in. First, they end the Juno arch built up since the ending of AC III, then they throw it all away just to rehash the “oh the world is going to end from an apocalyptic disaster” storyline straight from the Desmond games this time with an uninteresting protagonist who they push all development and growth into the comics because money! Odyssey was really the final nail in the coffin for me. In order to stop the rehashed plot, Layla needs to actually physically change the past through the animus like it’s a Tardis, and in order to do that, the characterless protagonist from Odyssey, who has been alive all these years, sorry CENTURIES, comes before Layla and gives her a magical staff that will make her immortal telling her that she’s the ultimate key to balancing the force, or whatever, with the worst insult being both assassins and Templars are wrong, and that all the pieces of Eden need to be destroyed afterwards(which will depend on whether Ubisoft wants to continue making money on this franchise or not. But who am I kidding they could make an entirely different game like Odyssey call it assassins creed and still make a ton of money!).

At least we all know that their is another piece of Eden in this game besides that spear.

very good job sir !

THIS IS TRUE ASSASSIN’S CREED! YOU ARE ONE OF THE VERY FEW WHO CAN GRASP THE SCOPE OF AC! STAY ON IT!

At this point I just want them to end the modern day. I don’t care what they do with past stuff, but the modern day story and characters (especially Layla) are so insufferable it needs to end.

Thank god finally someone explains the new modern day missions

The Koh-i-noor (to locate other PoE's) that Elijah has and the Staff of 'Airmees Trismegistuus' are going to play a major part in the future games. I think based on Alannah Ryan's bio , Rome and India are the next settings. Also where did you get that info that Altair lived for so long due to the Apple , it's the first time I heard that.

Most likely the node is a third solar flare that Juno's followers will cause most likely Desmond's lost son may even help at the end of the series.

What if the odyssey assassins ends up being a trilogy assassin? Like Ezio was. Next game we play as our same assassin just a little older and aging throughout the storyline of each game

thank you for that information i know alot of this video is just speculation but it got me to understand and got me really exited for the future of assassins creed!

The world building here just comes across as so weak. It might not necessarily the content, or at least the content isn't completely responsible for making it look and feel like that, it's mostly how these concepts and ideas are presented. It's just spoonfed exposition told to us in a boring melodramatic dialogue sequence instead of an actual mysterious puzzle or even enabling us to initiate these Isu prophecies, instead of just sitting here waiting for the next big thing to come along as we pointlessly traverse these historic time periods. These modern-day stories are lack luster and I can't be fucked anymore to care, if they want to make games completely based in history, just do it already.

Thank you sm, this was really useful. I played origins but didn’t get the chance to play odyssey and wanted to skip to Valhalla(although I will come back to odyssey) but this reallllyyyyyy helped

This might sound stupid but what was Desmond miles purpose to sacrifice himself or more ?

Wow has the modern day story gotten interesting!

“Considerable amount of time before the simulation.” This was foreshadowing to the DLC.

They should have called this one Assassin's Creed: Fuck it

Question: it is brought up in Odyssey that different timeliness will eventually end up in nodes, making certain events unavoidable. This idea fascinates me. Does anyone here know any (scientific) work on this subject? I would love to delve in this a bit more.

I think that ubisoft are trying to portray the isu as interfering and causing problems, so that when they remove the isu from the game people don't care as much. Look at how they finished the juno story off which had been built up in 4 games. The reason they are doing this is so that they can adapt the game to be fit better with the RPG genre because RPG games are very popular and make large amounts of money

I think layla will change time freaky Friday style The staff of hermes along with her animus will allow her to truly take control of assassin's in the past like she is literally in their body in time not just the simulation. A bit crazy and probably won't happen but it'd be pretty cool

How did Alexios get that suit and learn English?

Halfway through when I remembered the staff was the staff of Hermès, not the staff of her miis

If you read the manga of assassins creed chronical china you can see kiyoshi takakura speeking with the ansaster of shao jun.

Break the code of time... OMG Assassins creed ultimate All of the playable assassins in one place

Tyler is the father of understanding. MAY THE FATHER OF UNDERSTANDING GUIDE US!

Break the code. Break the node. Avoid the Noid.

Can’t believe people bashing this game. I absolutely love it. I love all AC games. If you don’t like don’t play it’s simple.

Damn I didnt expect him to be alive

Just a thought but just as there are nodes of time, being unchangeable, maybe there are roles a d people who are nodes, like Desmond being the node for stopping Juno and saving the Earth, and like nodes many simulations spawn of from it, so what if the choice that saved the Earth but killed him left his node incomplete which led the node to be transferred to others, Charlotte de la Cruze to complete Juno's Death node and Layla Hassan for the Isu History/Great Catastrophe Node

everyone: I dont like layla ubisoft: lets make her immortal

Atlantis is the City of Eden from AC 2 The Truth!!!!(Well i hope so)

I think the node could be at the time of adam and eve it sort of makes sence because that is where it begans

The moment I saw a video of somebody jumping into the ocean and beating the shit out of sharks. I was like "R.i.P assassins creed". Crocs was pushing it in origins, but sharks......BRUH!!!!!!! Ubisoft just said fuck it!

At 17:55 when she speaks about Juno being gone in her present, it must refer to the moment Juno was imprisoned by Minerva and Jupiter. Right ?

So in the assassins creed story, do the Greek realms actually exist? Or are they non-cannon? Underworld and Elysium and Atlantis. The Gods were Isu but can you make a video about how they tie into the modern day Isu? Same with the realms?

I cal it the staff of “Hermes TrismasMcGee” and then laugh at myself because I never can remember his last name.

Him: Where the story is going in future Me: Downhill. But then, at least they started seeing the had to develop modern day story.

I finished the Odyssey “main quest” with killing Deimos, but I never did anything with Atlantis beyond discovering it and wondering how to get in. My mind is absolutely blown right now realizing that there was literal hours of gameplay left in the “main story” when I thought that it was all done. I totally missed it

The Staff of Her Miis now on the Nintendo Eshop

What happened to layla after she wanted help from her teammates to rescue her at the ending of fate of atlantis dlc ? Please enlighten me.

Thank you.

can someone explain who the four pillars are?

i found it hilarious how her hair turned completly grey ina year

My god ubisoft has fucked the lore so bad.pieces of eden are meant to create illustions not create mythical beasts

Did you ever look at the laptop of layla is odyssey there is a map with the name “who is Aletheia”

“Chaos & order need balance “ isn’t that interesting since its been done plenty times. Star Wars for one example. They’ve destroyed the MD story imo.

So after odyssey Kasandra just waited in Atlantis for two and half decades waiting for Layla to come? or did she fight the templars until her last day?

It’s called the “hidden” blade. Why do Desmond and Layla not even TRY to conceal it? 🤪

l just want to know, what kept her mom alive during 150 years then... Did she had another "artifact".

I kind of find it funny that in retrospective of Valhalla that we learned that aletheia is actually just as evil if not more evil than Juno was and was just manipulating Layla

Finding out about this video and watching it made me hyped for the series again, even if they did some real shitty decisions in making important plot points in the comics only

The only modern truth is that i need to play odyssey in a fridge coz these ultra graphics settings just want to destroy my pc

You already know people who play this game got an A+ in social studies 😂

Why r u so down on subs :'(

Oh alethia... what have you done
