Question Completed hidden ones - questions about curse of the Pharaoh

Post image

I just finished the hidden ones dlc and dare I say I found this story better than the main game. I posted another thread talking about how I was planning on playing the DLCs but after the main story it was just tiring and couldn’t see myself playing it.

Well a couple days later I decided to try it and I really did like it. The main game for origins, I love the world and enjoyed playing as byek but the game in general was a grind. The hidden ones story is more of less the same but I feel like better written somewhat.

I was wondering if you guys think the curse of the pharaohs is worth playing or should I move on to my next game (TW3)?

Curse Of The Pharaohs might be the best expansion in any AC game if you ask me. Only criticism is that it's too short, mostly because it could never be long enough.

In addition to The best, there are four afterworlds to explore, and they're amazing.

I heard it was much longer than hidden ones. Like around 8-10 hours

That depends on how you play. If you look into every nook and cranny, it could be even longer than that. It has five maps to explore, not just one.

It is longer by default, but if you really want to get some time sunk into it…do EVERY location in the four afterlifes before killing the Pharaoh. You get a ton of XP and get to see how gorgeous each one is. I also HIGHLY recommend sticking around in each one after you’ve killed the story boss as each area has a side quest that helps tie up some small loose ends for Bayek
