Evolution of Hidden Blade in Assassin's Creed 

I miss the double hidden blades and when they were included in combat

It’s so interesting to see that as the times progressed, you “lose” some previous upgrades. Like the gun

Only the modern hidden blade is missing, although some assassins still use blades Shawn showed us that the hidden blade can become a lethal tazer because nowadays a blade is more an inconvenience in a world with guns and bulletproof vests

The Origins hidden blade scene was my favorite. Bayek was never trained with something like this and almost took his hand off. A realistic touch because people need training to use tools properly.

It's funny how the original and first blade is worn over the wrist, and then mistakenly worn under the wrist which caused a whole group of assassins to lose their finger. Only to be called out by a Norwegian Raider.

My favorite is the hookblade It has the hook and the blade

Ezio without hesitation giving up his ring finger 😂

No other NPC made me smile more than Leonardo Da Vinci

It’s funny how Bayek basically created a whole unnecessary tradition of cutting off your ring finger for centuries. Eivor actually wears the hidden blade correctly, as Darius also wore it on the top of his wrist.

I like how Connor’s turns into a knife that he can use in combat much easier

The golden hidden blade seems more like an art piece than an actual weapon

The Phantom Blade is so underrated.

This is a hookblade. It has the properties of a hook and a blade.

i miss og AC style and also lil note, i rly like how as ezio aged u not only hear obviously his voice age but also his demeanor at first he was a young buck with a bit of impulsivity. then in revelations u see a hardened master assassin

Phantom Blade looks bad ass

Now : it's not hidden anymore 🤡

It's funny how Bayek literally put it on upside down. And there you go... Hidden blade.

Its funny. How the first hidden one made the mistake of wearing the blade underneath and now all assassins wear it this way and lose the ring finger to use it (until altair altered the blade) while the viking who is not an assassin or hidden one wore it the correct way

Only those who have played assassin's creed revelations would understand how good the game was

Ezio's hidden blade: 🔪 🔫 🪝

Eivor’s hidden blade is the safest one though

5:07 ah yes my favorite part of AC was when Altair talks about looking at an apple and then pulls out the .9 and shoots abbas

Honestly, I played assassins creed origins, odyssey, and Valhalla before going back and playing the older ones so my experience is real skewed. But I will say I understand why they mixed up the formula, it had been roughly the same experience for a lot, a lot of games and when Unity flopped they decided they needed to go a different direction. Understandable. But it’s been four games now, can we please play as someone who’s actually an assassin at the very least, please and thank you.

The hidden blade is a tool of justice made to deliver kills elegantly and silently Meanwhile eivor starts flexing on his hidden blade

Imagine the look on Kassandra's face when she saw Eivor wearing the hidden blade worn above the wrist Daddy Darius Flashbacks

Arno's blade is my favourite

Why are you all complaining ac2 literally has a statue of a Persian named Darius with a blade above instead of under. They literally implied that he was the first to use the blade in ac2, then they solidified it in Odyssey.

I'm still pissed that in odyssey, you had to have the DLC to see the hidden blade but you're not even the one using it. Even though the first hidden blade was weird I think it was more useful in open combat than stealth. It would've been a good shield to block attacks.

Marvelous video, loved chronological sequence. So many memories right here though cant rewind the time.

I miss when we could actually fight with the hidden blade have to say Connor and ezio hidden blade were the best speaking how they are the most unique

if the grappling hook had a similar effect in combat like the rope dart then I think it would have been more liked

Imagine a hidden blade design that’s a prosthetic Hand during the world wars time?, could be fitted with all manner of impressive mechanisms.

I've this thought that the reason Darius originally wore his blade over his arm is to not lose his finger, only for his successors to wear it under the arm and use the lost finger as a sign of devotion to the cause.

That was my favorite line from eivor. "I don't wish to hide this, and I would rather not use the same mistake as you did." It was such a great line like fuck that I'm taking this blade straight to the eye socket of my foe and I hope he sees it the whole time. It was so badass!!!

Being a member of an assassins is better than meeting the hidden ones

My top 3 favorite hidden blades: 1: The Phantom Blade 2: The Hidden Gun 3: Rotatable Hidden Blade

I'm always perplexed by the thought that it took so long about over a 1000 years maybe 2000 years before someone thought yeah maybe we should change the hidden blade a bit so it doesn't cut of your own finger when you use it.

Back when hidden blade was actually hidden

My favorite hidden blade is the one in odyssey where you never get to fucking use it.

I was not ready for the volume on that outro

Best hidden blade upgrades for me is the hook blade from yusuf. always been satisfied how it works

Tbh after Eivor put the hidden blade on the front part of his arm, completely revealing it to the public who would see it, it has just lost its true purpose. It would’ve been cool to see Eivor’s finger get cut off for the hidden blade. Rn if you unlock the Basim outfit in AC Valhalla the hidden blade is concealed properly, and it’s a much better design than having the hidden blade out in the open

Nice video bro 🤘

Am I the only one who loved Arno and Ac Unity looking back? It could’ve been better sure but damn i remember having good times in that game

I still love how other than ezio Arno was the only one taken in truly by the brother hood, ps Connor doesn’t count to me because it was only him and Achilles

Also missing Shaun’s modern taser blade

If i would choose one i go for connor one

Nice

Gotta say, not seeing Odyssey, Darius' assassination of Xerxes was pretty badass. Also to those saying that wearing it on top isn't hidden, your right for Eivor since it's fucking gold. But you could make it a bracer color

A shame Arno never earned his second hidden Blade.

,,Eivors blade isnt hidden anymore!". As if he didnt carry 2 greatswords and a bow on his back.

So Darius was the reason the Hidden blade is iconic in the assasins creed franchise

Basim: I give to you the hidden blade Eivor: the what blade?

I started with AC2 then went to Brotherhood. Didnt play again til black flag came out. Then Unity (slept on nowadays). Xbox Games w/Gold finally let me play the OG & rogue. Still have to play 3, Syndicate to present & any DLCs with all the games

Back when the hook blade used to climb higher things, but now we can climb everything

Beforr origin is out, if i recall correctly Altair is the only assassin to use a hidden blade. You can even see every assassin's wrist on ac 1 and revelations, only Altair has the blade

I love all assassins creed games. I have played them all, nearly every single one of them to 100% (AC3 still gives me hadaches :D) and i have to say, im a huge fan of the AC3 hidden blade! really close after that AC2 and then the Phantom blade :3

They forgot the hidden taser from Syndicate IRL

To be fair to the viking almost no one would look at that golden bracers and think it is a blade

I was expecting someone to say "hey there Delilah" in the intro

Honestly, a phantom and pivot blade dual wielding set would be awesome.

Unity was on another level

Don’t forget the detachable blade from bloodstone and the taser blade Shaun uses

I like how some of these guys lose the lose their finger while Edward just swing two around

Now the stealth returns in AC Mirage.

Hidden Blade Rankings from high to low(many of the blades are reused design mechanics so they may fall in the same rank): 1) Connor’s in AC3 because that mf could turn into a dagger 2) Ezio’s Because of its updated mechanics for the wielder and it can be doused in poison. I’ll also count Revelations here too because of the Hook attachment 3) Bayek’s because when it’s fully upgraded it looks better double bladed 4) Evie/Jacob’s because I got around quicker with the grappling hook mod 5) Arno’s because the Phantom Blade, although not completely conventional, it was still pretty useful 6) Eivor’s because of the design and how smart he was to not “accidentally” cut his finger 7) The rest because though the designs are fan favorites, the mechanics and designs are all identical basically

Ngl kassandra hidden blade and ezio (AC2) looks pretty

4:23 " This is no mistake " I'm pretty sure it was a mistake lol

I miss the double assassination, the phantom blade and the grappling hook option. I just wish they would’ve introduced the grappling hook option. Much better in the beginning.

People complain about odyssey not having a hidden blade but it is historically correct because the brotherhood was not founded yet

mantul

The ac hidden gun blade was GOAT

It’s funny how Eivor is the only one to “correctly” wear the hidden blade without knowing it’s true origin.

Bros outro is more louder than my phone

I miss the damn hookblade. It was so vicious

almost all ac games: stabs the enemy calmly and dies Ac odyssey: impales the enemy from behind and snaps their neck and grabs the blade from the front

Bro was incensed Eivor would get the blade and not need to cut his finger

I'm surprised despite being the most "out of place" assassins, Edward didn't lose his fingers

phantom blade is actually so good

plot twist: Altaïr modified the hidden blade so that you could still flip people off

yeah the hidden blade really did evolve backwards

Eu queria vê como foi criada a lamina, pois todos falam que o designe dela é impressionante ent como Darius conseguiu criar algo assim

only just realised bayek put the blade on backwards, but i guess thats why thye are all backwards now. any by backwards i mean under the arm not over

If I were to choose a hidden blade I would have to choose Ezio’s in revelations, it has a gun, hook for climbing, poison and you don’t have to cut off your finger to use it

“Do not fetishize a piece of metal”

Explain how the grappling hooks anchor is the assassin symbol when it was taken from a Templar

Am I the only person who misses the cut off ring finger idea

Still pisses me off why there was not a game about darius creating the most iconic weapon in AC history... thats why i left the series only watching from youtubers not playing it myself

👍⭐

7:17 Poor Ezio xD

The part from Odyssey is actually set in 466 BCE not 431 AC, AC isn't even a real abbreviation when it comes to dates

For some reason you can’t see Darius hidden blade until he kills xerxes

Ezio's blade was the best

Funny how it was originally supposed to be worn on top

All those upgrades to the blades over the years and what did Desmond storm Abstergo with? A simple hidden blade and a knife... like a putz. Historical Assassins: Amazing Gear, Modern Assassin: Piss Poor Minimum.

What about Shao Jun Hidden Blade in boot?

14:52 Oh god my ears!

You left out the part where the twins get dart launchers

the "upgraded" one from ACR isnt the blade, altair really just made a fucking gun lol

When assassin's Creed mirage is out, update it.
