[Rogue Academy] AC1 | Vaulting 

UPDATED VAULT TUTORIAL 2021. Give this person some love! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-93BS2HnLaEE.html

how are you teaching me things that i didn't know about a 12 year old game, this is absolutely insane

When I discovered there's air assassination in AC 1, I thought I knew everything about that game. Turns out I was wrong.

Dang I love how smooth it looks.

Ever since I learned this from you a while back I've been ABUSING this trick all the time, even when it serves no real purpose

Techurious did some testing. You don't need Catch Ledge in order to Vault, you can do it at any time with the button-combo we described. Additionally, if Altair is already perched on a Non-Standing Object, like a Beam-Type Object, or hanging off an edge with his feet against a wall, you can Vault with a Single Jump instead of a sequence of two. Here is his channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCr5pP4gdQrbDLsoyegtyJQw Likewise, J4K8 has done some amazing work surrounding Vaults in AC1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bF9Ol7Hy-Q0.html Please check out his videos and channel as well, because there's a lot we didn't know when I made this video two years ago.

Seeing this makes me wonder...why did they implement cool shit like that and then never tell the player?! Also is there more stuff like that? Do we have to find out yet? Like holding legs button and menu button mid air to perform summer saults and cartwheels. ....just kidding, but i really wish they would have implemented even more advanced techniques like this.

Remember that one time in a stream where you discovered a pillar type object that allowed you to vault down it even without the two jumps in a row? That was weird.

I just played AC1 this year 2021 and it was the latest AC game I play. I absolutely love it. Yes the mission structure is repetitive but I never got bored. AC1 actually encouraged me to do low profile more often and it helped me immerse to the world even more. Thanks to your and Jcers videos

Hey Leo K, I don't know if you know this or not, but I just did some testing and it turns out the second object doesn't have to be a beam type object. It can be any old ledge and Altair will do a slide as he jumps onto the edge of it. I say slide because he's not vaulting down anything, and you remain on the same surface, but the animation plays regardless. Just a fun little thing you can do that serves only to look cool.

At first I was like "Cool video" and I was about to leave it at that and then you did your Vidic imitation so I just had to drop a like

It's just sad to see this series gradually loses the sophistication in its movement and animation systems. Odyssey is fundamentally a lazy attempt at a series that's no longer Assassin's Creed.

i love you too leo

AC 1 is a complete mistery. I finished the game last week and didn’t know about this move until now.

I began playing AC1 a few weeks after release. It's what made me fall in love with the AC series and it still holds up really well. AC1 has my favorite combat system and I have learned with time and perfection to use the combo attacks instead of counters. Learned about air assassinations a few years back but never have i known this lol. And just showed up as a random video on the youtube alhorithm. Man I love AC 1, gotta make another playthrough just because of this 🙂

Happy birth day AC!!!

I'm just downloading and installing the whole saga because of your videos, you're an awesome AC player man. I've never seen someone playing as creative and making the game look as fun as you! Keep it up! 👌

Hey Leo, no kidding, I’ve just discovered you today, and you have no idea of how grateful I am to have found your channel. The fact that you make entertaining, interesting, and helpful videos of the first games of my favourite saga ever just blows my mind. The fact that I can see my favourite game of the saga (I despise Odyssey due to having lost all the essence of Assassin’s Creed) being acknowledged by an inteligent player, who is passionate like me about them, even though they’re old, it just warms my heart. I also really agree with what you say and think. Being a fan since 2007 and watching the saga commit suicide in these past years and seeing people enjoy these new type of rpg shit they put into it makes me so angry, but you still see what really matters and give credit to the good games which stayed true to the Assassin’s Creed essence, know what I mean? Long story short, you’re awesome and I love these type of content, see ya around man.

I am playing this game after 10 years of playing it for the first time, man, the parkour in AC 1 may be clunky but It lets the player so much freedom deciding on how to perform your acrobatics. Love it. Thank you so much for your explanation

Wow. At the beginning of the video I saw you doing a move I don't remember doing when I played it but "It was probably my mind playing tricks", I thought. And then you proceed to show me something I never saw being done before. Bravo man, very cool and very informative indeed. Have a like.

Ooohhh ive been waiting for this kind of video!

I wish I knew this when I first played the game. It's incredibly elegant.

You can also vault over the second part of the boxes before jumping onto a beam, like at 1:20, vault before the beam.

Ive done this but never khew how. Thanks you Mentor

Parkour down but for the pros

Good video. The vault also works on those boxes(parkour starters). After jumping on the first step hold empty hand to vault the next one. This has saved me a lot when the path was blocked but I didn't want to climb. Edit: Sometimes it works with ejects, but I'm not sure about the timing.

That get on the animus killed me😂 Ac1 had so much septh in it(: And thats why its my fav ac!

Hey Leo, long time viewer here. I just realized I hadn't subbed to you yet. AC1 is my favourite AC game to date Black flag being a close second. It feels good to see someone share the same excitement for AC and it's hidden gems. Thank you.

Wow I tried it a bit and manage to do it most of the time now, just a bit sad that there aren't too many of the low beams in the world, or I don't find them too often. It's just so much more satisfying when you do a true vault than when you hang there afterwards weirdly

I love the ending quote.

Nice. Though you don't need to hold all 3 buttons simultaneously to pull this off. You just have to jump and mid-air you can release the Legs button. That's useful if holding 3 buttons may get cumbersome. I'm gonna test if the second jump is really needed to activate low-ground parkour down.

Did you just show me a new aspect, that I didn't know, from a game I've completed 3 times in the last 12 years?

There's great fighting technique for quickly killing the strongest enemies which I haven't found among your AC tutorials. Grab & throw them away from the rest of the group, exit the fight mode, select hidden blade and do a running assassination on them while they're still tumbling defenseless. Then quickly re-enter the fight. Works great on Templar knight's and strong story related characters, you don't have to eat through all their HP, just few smacks to get them off balance for your grapple attempt to work. You can even embarrass Al Mualim this way.

time to pop out the dusting dvd and try the newfound know-ledge

good video!. short, sweet, has all that a person should know about vaulting in AC1

Ey nice! I've been struggling with this.

I can't believe AC1 has could be this smooth, Makes me wanna play this game even more now.

I KNEW IT. I KNEW I SAW HIM VAULT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND I THOUGHT I SUMMONED THE SPIRIT OF ARNO.

idk if this is new information for the community but I'll just share a new thing I learned about vaulting just a day ago: you can vault over wooden racks (on rooftops), if it's close to an edge, climb up it, move towards the rack holding forward, HP, legs, and empty hand and altair will vault it like connor and assassins from later entries do fences and such. apparently the animation of pulling himself up a ledge also counts as a "jump" you have to do to pull off the vault but I'm not sure, I still need to do some testing to see if I can get it to work in other ways, if so, I'll let you know. edit: just read the comment, it may be the same principle of being perched and only requiring one jump to pull it off...

I wish this feature was in future games it just looks stylish and cool for me

U gotta. Press open hand button immediately after the jump that way he does it anywhere

i find this to be really cool. it would be nice if you covered the mechanic in most ac games where theres a side scroller style hanging ledge section, and no matter what you click, the assassin jumps off the ledge. and usually its just you dont even click, your supposed to just point the thumbstick.

Thanks for the help, always wanted to know how to do it

I wonder if speedrunners know about this

👏 Awesome!

Years. Years it has been since I played AC 1. And now I’m shown there’s a dive animation through the stall!

Just replayed the first game the other day.

Ik you don’t do ac related stuff anymore but i gotta rant and idk where to except here. So feel no obligation to respond or acknowledge this if you do read this. I love AC2 and it’s probably one of my favourite games but I really don’t like what they did with the brotherhood. AC1 had this very delicate and precise sense of mystery to it that actually left you questioning things. For example the whole garden of eden behind masyaf castle and the stories revolving around it. The assassins felt like an actual dangerous cult. You weren’t completely sure whether you were even the good guys. There was an incredible sense of mystery surrounding the apple of eden. And most importantly than anything, the protagonist wasn’t the one incharge. Altair was a prodigy, yes, but he wasn’t almualim. In ac2 the sense of power that comes with simply being an assassin was lost. And with ACB, you played as the mentor which killed the sense if mystery even more. With ACR set in a new area, you were able to get that feeling of mystery back to a small extent but it wasn’t the same. In AC1 you could feel the political tension in cities and between assassins templars and the other party(the king or something idr, like who the main templar antagonist was manipulating.)

Nice tutorial! It is one of these features of the game that many people never do and don't know of, i personally saw it in an old vid by Stabguy. I bet you that many people don't either how to air assassinate in this game.

Just gives me another reason to keep playing this game.

Just got the game on PC and FINALLY I can do this! Thank you!

Hey Leo, I finally picked up AC1 and I’m loving it so far. I just had a question about Hidden Blade counter timings. I often have a hard time countering on the first attack enemies do, but I am consistently able to counter on the second attack that they do after the initial strike, which is much faster. I think it has something to do with the fact that because the attacks are faster, the overall counter window covers more of the attack duration. When should I be hitting the button on the slower attacks?

Thank u for this channel

Idk if this is new but you can do a vault by jumping in place without moving in a direction and hit your second jump and still vault

Well, you can vault without even having the catch ledge ability. The ability just makes extra sure that whenever you vault, sometimes you might fall off a damn high building, so it helps u to catch a nearby ledge, otherwise u can just vault from the very beginning of the game. 😉

dang........................ after 12 years? hella cool

Thanks!

This technique is smoother than diarrhea

I'm new to the AC series so I could easily be wrong, but while I was trying this out I seem to be able to trigger this with one jump as long as I pressed the empty hand button before the jump started. This is easiest to do for me while being turned in the opposite direction, as the animation for Altair turning around gives you enough time to input the rest of the commands before the jump. So movement key in the direction of Altair's back+legs/jump+empty hand(must be pressed before the jump starts). It can be done without that method but the timing is really strict as you have to press empty hand just slightly after legs/jump.

0:51 LOL explanation, brief pause, hilarity

Super fun. Thanks!

Excellent video! This helped me get vaulting down a lot. I've now seen from other parkour vids that you can even vault over certain surfaces on roofs. Not trying to be rude but why didn't you mention this in the video? Although, I have only really practiced in Damascus due to the kickass theme song, are the vault-able surfaces of roofs exclusive to Damascus?

Actually you don't need 2 jumps. Even on your first jump you can vault. All you have to do is hold right mouse (NOT MIDAIR) but before you do the jump

Will you ever do a video on how to air-assassinate in AC1? I can’t figure it out

Ok I need to know cuz this is amazing. Does this mechanic still work in the Ezio games?

There's a similar thing you can do to in the Ezio games but it takes longer and has no animation If you overjump a one of those.stick looking ledges and press hands and down or behind you it has the same end effect but is a lot harder to pull off and has little to no payoff

Is it possible to vault like this in the Ezio games? Also, did you know that if you jump to a hang from a beam while riding your horse, Ezio will do a cool flip? I learned something new today. Left a like 👍

I wish this video had 1M views... People need to know about this feature dammit.

Fascinating. Ezio have this?

No wonder Odyssey was such are hard place. The series is going through puberty.

Hey, Leo. I was wondering... Is this a thing in the Ezio Trilogy?

"I need money sir I'm pOoR aNd SiCk AnD hUnGrY!"

Does this work in the Ezio trilogy?

GET IN THE ANIMUS

Thinking way, way back, I think I did it accidentally but just shrug it off, because I was chase by the soldier after eliminating the target and because I failed the mission many times that I was piss about it so yeah accidentally I did manage to do it.

You can vault, with out the Catch Ledge ability.

It doesn’t have to be a beam you can vault on almost anything you can climb like roofs for exaMple

Can you make a tutorial on horse to beam Back flip jump from AC brotherhood?

Speed step. Basic but widely used move, and no wonder.

Hi Leo, can you make a video about the combat in ACU if you haven’t already?

Yo leo, does this work on the Ezio trillogy? Also, r there any other neat little Tricks u could teach us in the ezio trillogy?

I think u can do it with one jump too 🤔

Can you do this in ac 2? I got this game release day in 2007 and never knew this havent played it in like almost a decade!

In Ac Black Flag, i was playing with the obstacle vault on low objects, and suddenly, i performed a turn vault or hanging vault which is very similar to this one 1:29 . I don't really know if this was a glitch. I've tried to re-perform this move with several buttons, but it didn't seem to work. Cau u please check this one out and see if it really is a glitch or another hidden mechanics in the game?

8 months late... however was curious if this is only doable in AC1, I’m assuming so since it’s only AC1 gameplay but didn’t know if vaulting is possible in AC2, brotherhood and revelations

You have to hold A and B at the same time? That sucks

Hello, I know this is an old video but do you know why they removed this move in ac2?

What in the god damn

I was today years old when I learnt this. Is it exclusive to AC1?

why there's nothing about how to do this vault in game ?

I'v been watching Assassin's creed trailers gameplays from last 7 year couldn't play because didn't have pc or any console today first time i am playing Assassin's creed 1 in pc But how to drop to ground from any object like beam or wall how to just simply drop???

why should it require two jumps though?

haha people complain how glitchy or unpredictable the early games parkour were, but in reality they just never got good at something that required practice and skill

can you do this in other ac games too? :0

Hey Leo, just a question, can you do this in the Ezio trilogy? Just wondering if its the same engine

Is this technique available for ezio in assassin's creed 2?

Bruh….this is the first game I bought with my brand new Xbox 360 at the the time in 2007 when the game first came out and now after all these years I’m figuring out that I can combat with the hidden blade, air assassinate and vault during parkour?? 🤦🏻‍♂️ and I call myself an assassins creed master

can you also do this on AC2?

Can you do this in ac brotherhood?

Do you think its possible in AC2 upto revalations?
