· Games / Assassin’s Creed Rogue
Rogue Remastered: complete objective checklist Rogue has quite a bit beyond finishing Shay's story. I'd split the cleanup into story, exploring, ship work and combat, because otherwise it's easy to keep doing the same activities while missi...

Assassin’s Creed Rogue is an important part of this stretch of the series because it connects several of the stories around it. It came out in 2014, and instead of following another Assassin all the way through, we follow Shay Cormac as he...

Freedom Cry: achievement, equipment and progression guide Freedom Cry: achievement checklist One thing worth checking before starting Freedom Cry: the separate game and the Black Flag expansion don't have the same achievement list. The stan...

Freedom Cry takes someone we already know from Black Flag and gives him his own story. Adéwalé was Edward’s quartermaster, but here we follow him as an Assassin in Saint-Domingue, in what is now Haiti. His fight against slavery is central t...

The Jackdaw: what to upgrade and where the elite plans are The Jackdaw is a huge part of what makes Black Flag work. But there's more going on than just buying more cannons. More guns, stronger ammunition and more ammunition storage are dif...

Black Flag (2013): abilities and upgrades With the original Black Flag, I wouldn't think about progression the same way as Origins or Odyssey. You're not putting skill points into a big character build. You're getting tools through the stor...

Black Flag: the rest of the collection cleanup Black Flag gives you a whole ocean to clear, but you don't have to treat every icon like a different guide. Start with the location count. Open the map and check what the island or town still n...

Black Flag (2013): achievement checklist Black Flag has a lot more to finish than the story. The first thing I'd separate is the single-player list from the multiplayer list. They are not interchangeable, and a guide for Resynced is not a g...

The original Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was absolutely amazing. I loved every second of it. Edward, the Caribbean, the ships, the exploration. It was one of those games that gave the series a completely different feel while still keepi...

Liberation: choosing Aveline's persona Liberation gives Aveline three different ways to handle a job. Pick the outfit for what you need to do, and think about how you're getting back out afterward. Assassin: The straightforward choice for f...

Liberation: finishing the collections without mixing up the sets Liberation has a few collections that look like the same job until you find out you're wearing the wrong outfit, or the thing you're missing only exists inside a memory. Diary...

Liberation HD / Remastered: achievement cleanup Liberation is a smaller game, but there is still quite a bit to clean up. I would keep the story, persona jobs, and collectibles separate on the checklist. Otherwise it's easy to finish one pa...

Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation gives Aveline her own story alongside the era we were exploring with Connor. It originally came out on the Vita in 2012, then came to other platforms through Liberation HD and later Liberation Remastered. Th...

ACIII: getting more out of Connor Connor's combat is one of the things I love about this game. There is quite a bit you can do once you stop trying to solve every fight with the same attack. Counters and tools: Counter first, then choose th...

ACIII: feathers, pages, trinkets and the things worth finishing Connor's collectibles are a lot easier to deal with when you separate them instead of running around picking up whatever happens to be nearby. Start with the maps. After Sequen...

ACIII Remastered achievement/trophy checklist ACIII has a lot going on outside the main story. If you’re going for everything, keep the progress tracker open as you work through it. Finishing Connor’s story and finishing the entire game’s c...

Assassin’s Creed III was one of my favorite games from the earlier part of the series. That changes later because some of the newer games are absolutely amazing, but Connor’s game still holds a special place for me. The character, the way h...

Assassin’s Creed Revelations — The Lost Archive These twenty pieces belong to the DLC, not Ezio’s city collection. Here’s the short room-by-room checklist. - Memory 1: 1 moving-block chamber, below the ascending blocks. - Memory 2: 2 illumi...

Assassin’s Creed Revelations — useful upgrades without overcomplicating it Revelations gives Ezio more tools, but it still isn’t a giant skill-tree game. I’d get comfortable with the hookblade, learn a few bombs properly and keep the recrui...
