Assassin's Creed Shadows was way more than I expected. It turned out to be a really good game, and I spent a lot of time on it. I also ended up coming back to it for Claws of Awaji. I liked seeing the series go back to two playable characte...
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR: get the controls right first Before chasing timed challenges, I'd spend a few minutes getting the movement comfortable. That's more useful here than pretending every Assassin's Creed needs the same skill-build gui...
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR: achievement cleanup Nexus does have achievements. This is a separate checklist, not the console trophy list from one of the main games. There are forty-two listed. Story - Complete comfort setup. - Visit Monterigg...
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR came out on November 16, 2023, and brought Ezio, Connor and Kassandra into a first-person VR game. These are new adventures with those characters, taking you through Renaissance Italy, colonial America and ancient...
Valley of Memory — the eight stolen goods These are the little treasure hunts I'd keep together instead of turning every clue into another post. Finish The Ones Who Remain before taking the goods back to Hind at Nimlot's Estate. Clue stop →...
Mirage: getting into Valley of Memory and using the new tools Valley of Memory happens before Mirage’s ending. The lead that sends Basim to AlUla concerns his missing father. It isn't a sequel taking place after everything in Baghdad. On a...
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: what that ending actually means Spoilers for Mirage and Valhalla. Basim still isn't one of my favorite characters. But this is the part that explains why his story matters beyond Baghdad. Nehal isn't a separate pers...
Mirage — gear chest checklist These are the gear chests, not every box with a few coins in it. There are 30. For the normal three-chest sets, the first gives the equipment and the others its upgrades, so don't worry if your reward order dif...
Mirage: finding all ten mysterious shards These are carried by people who patrol, so treat each location as a search area rather than a fixed point. Check the compass as you approach. There are two carriers in each region. Harbiyah 1. Outsi...
Mirage: a few skills that actually help Base Baghdad skill picks; Valley of Memory additions separate. Mirage isn't one of my favorites, but that doesn't mean there isn't good stuff in it. If you're going through it, these are the skills I'...
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: base-game achievement checklist I’m grouping these by what you actually need to do. This is the original fifty objectives; Valley of Memory has its own eleven-item checklist. Steam currently shows sixty-one altogeth...
Story spoilers for Valhalla and Basim's place in the series. Assassin's Creed Mirage was honestly one of my least favorite games in the series. I still liked seeing more of the story, but Basim is one of my least favorite characters, and th...
Valhalla: which ending are we talking about? Major story spoilers. Base-game conclusions and the later epilogue, not the separate expansion decision guides. Valhalla has enough going on that I think it helps to separate the endings. What ha...
Valhalla — the treasure maps, without running in circles Pick up the clue before looking for its reward. These are the 20 standard Norway/England hoards, plus the Treehouse Shoppe bonus. Ireland and later add-ons are separate. Each line giv...
Valhalla: Excalibur and Thor's gear Two separate hunts. Getting one doesn't unlock the other. Excalibur: eight hidden tablets, three Zealots Start with these eight Treasures of Britain locations: 1. Cavern of Trials, Cent: Coastal cave east...
Valhalla: the skills I'd look at first practical base-game picks, not every node. Valhalla's skill tree looks like a lot because it is a lot. But you don't need to study the whole thing before spending a point. Pick a few moves that solve t...
Valhalla: the base-game achievement checklist All 50 base-game objectives; PlayStation also has the platinum. Expansion lists are separate. Valhalla is a big commitment if you're going for everything. I'd keep the list divided up so finishi...
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is right there with Origins and Odyssey for me. These are some of my favorite games in the entire series, and they're the ones I put a lot of time into and got really absorbed in. Valhalla gives you Eivor, the Rave...
Odyssey: the main endings and keeping the family together Major spoilers. This covers the base game's three major story conclusions; DLC-specific decisions remain a separate guide. Odyssey is one of those games where saying “I finished the...
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: all 18 Marble Maiden Tributes All right, this is the Elysium statue cleanup. There are 18 to destroy for Blasphemer: six in Minos’s Faith, three in Deukalion’s Heritage, six in Pheraia’s Retreat and three in Asphod...
