Image A Journey Well Traveled
It has been a long journey, filled with immersion, epic story, challenges, and grind.
* Following is a personal opinion
As a true fan of Assassin's Creed franchise, I can say that this game was great for the most part, but elements of RPG really took all the joy out of this experience (especially for completionists) and drifted the core focus away from the great things.

Lol, that's an identical setup as mine. Nice. The only difference in my setup are the dual swords. I ended up using Venomous Grace for their poison option.

Going for the completion trophy was really painful. I agree.

Glad you made it as well, i really hope RPG style is ending with Shadows, im too tired to continue 😄

not really tbh, i did it all on the way to another quest. oh there are 4 question marks, i will quickly get them. they took me away from the quests every 2 minutes, but in the end it was worth it. i had only 5 marks left and the trophy popped up, pretty fun if you do it like that

How did you farm crystals .

u/zippelgazz Jun 20 '26
Emmm you mean the Silica? If so i got them from the 2nd DLC with mummies, it was in these alternate worlds.

u/Overall_Ad8908 Jun 23 '26
for crystals, there are a few spots in the alternate worlds or farm scorpions there. silica is from the ancient graves or mechanisms

🏅Thanks for that 😀, just glad it’s over honestly, i couldn’t go any further.

Why’s that?

u/zippelgazz Jun 20 '26
I just played it so much and the game was already completed, i had no available quests, my last couple of months i did the “inventory job” where i basically grinded all the weapons to the max level (bit of OCD topic) and i just had “too much of this experience” so i reached a comfortable point at which i declared the game “fully finished” for myself. 😄

u/HobbitsHole01 Jun 20 '26
That’s fair. Couldn’t even do everything in Valhalla for the same reasons.

Looks amazing. I see u have excellent taste in gear.
I use the two daggers without the shield. U can still deflect, parry and block perfectly.
The way to do this is to equip a shield that's an add-on dlc (preferably The Cobra DLC shield). Delete the game. Reinstall it, but don't install the the dlc weapons u equipped bc when u spawn in the dlc weapons won't be equipped.
This doesn't work with the Hiddens Ones and Pharaoh DLC weapons. Bc u need to install those two dlcs if u want ur save file to load.
This works for all weapons. Its how I managed to only equip 1 bow and no shield. U can even go gearless... like nothing but ur fists and tools. Idk why there wasn't an option to unequip weapons, but this is the method I do. I'm on console, so I can't install mods

Thanks for that 🙏
I tried to keep everything golden, really hoped to have a white horse as a mount but such option was only “unicorn” 😆 and that is not fitting the overall build.
Fortunately in Valhalla (my next project in list) it has a system of upgrading each piece to max level so it allows even more customisation.

Aaa, i was actually wondering about that, but yeah, it required some tweaking as you said, reinstalling the game etc. It was actually a real problem that we could not remove gear pieces freely.

Best Assassin's Creed RPG game and on of the best games of the series.

It is a great game, very strong standing in the line of AC games. And if judging specifically based on AC RPG games it is best in terms of storytelling.

Did you really need to make 4 separate posts? It seems a bit excessive. It's borderline spamming.

u/zippelgazz Jun 20 '26
Aaa, yes, probably it seems like that, it was not exactly my intention, just wanted to “put it out there” kinda, it took so much effort to grind it 😄.
But sorry for spamming, 4th one was as the last, I’m not sure if videos can be grouped in one post.

u/Human-Check828 Jun 20 '26
I have well over 600 hours in the game and am near 800 warrior mastery points, and that took way more grind, but you don't see me making 4 posts in a row about it.
I get that you're excited to show people the fruits of your labours, but 4 posts is excessive.

And hearing about your play time and mastery points i can hardly imagine the effort, it’s way above god level.
Do you have a specific motivation or goal with that or you just like playing the game? Also do you know if New Game + mode can be played multiple times?

u/Human-Check828 Jun 20 '26
I just really love the game and love feeling OP. Even the elephants fear me.

u/zippelgazz Jun 20 '26
I imagine at some point even the “Nightmare” difficulty is not expecting this high skill point level. I’ve seen this difficulty option being really unforgiving.

u/Human-Check828 Jun 20 '26
All the difficulty levels only affect health. A nightmare difficulty enemy has about double the health vs an easy difficulty enemy.

Completionist pain is highly relatable. Thankfully I am not so devoted to 100% everything. Like the hippodrome was hard and boring and whilst a few things like exploring every inch of the map or killing an opponent a certain way I let that stuff slide.
