00:00You have to make some important choices at the start of Assassin's Creed Shadows and
00:03there are also other settings and gameplay changes that are handy to know about before
00:07jumping in or while already playing the game.
00:10So a ton to go over.
00:11Shoutout to Ubisoft for sponsoring the video, that really helps me to maintain my team of
00:15two full time employees and also freelancers are helping with the launch to get more content
00:20to you quicker.
00:21So check Shadows out via the link in the description that would really support the channel as well.
00:25One thing the game asks you at the start is if you want to play in the canon mode or not
00:30and this is important because you cannot change this later on.
00:33So the canon mode removes all the dialogue choices in the game, you are basically experiencing
00:38the events in the way that Ubisoft intended them.
00:41There are still moments where characters will ask you if you are ready to embark on a quest
00:46or if you want to prepare some more.
00:47It can still switch between Naue and Yasuke at any point in the game and also during particular
00:53encounters during main story missions just like in the regular mode.
00:57But in the canon mode you will not see the multiple ways you can respond to certain situations
01:02or you won't be able to frame a certain target when you get the choice between multiple options.
01:08Or you cannot decide to spare or kill someone.
01:11When playing in the canon mode you will not even know if there was a dialogue option because
01:16the cutscenes will not be interrupted.
01:19But the most interesting part is that this does not mean that you get a good or the best
01:24possible outcome.
01:25In many cases you will miss the romance opportunities.
01:29While you can choose to flirt with certain characters in the regular mode, in the canon
01:34mode Naue and Yasuke mostly prefer to be alone.
01:37Which kinda sad actually.
01:39But more important is that one character will not join you if you play in the canon mode
01:44with nothing you can do about it.
01:46While interacting with them during the main story or their special side missions you will
01:50sometimes see a warning saying that this will impact that ally.
01:55So if you make the wrong choice here there's a chance that they won't join you.
01:59So then they are not in your hideout but more importantly you cannot use them in stealth
02:04or combat to help you out which is kinda huge.
02:07Now in the canon mode you cannot make choices so you will not see that notification and
02:13this means that there's one ally you won't be able to recruit while in the regular mode
02:18you have the option to get all of them.
02:20So good to keep that in mind when you make this choice.
02:23Seems like you can still get all the trophies and achievements in the canon mode though
02:27as meeting one of the allies already gets you the trophy instead of actually recruiting
02:31them.
02:32But the settings menu does note that some trophies cannot be unlocked in the guided
02:37exploration mode.
02:38And I will tell you which one in a moment but yeah this choice is also important.
02:44Exploration mode is on by the vault so you get hints as to where your next objective
02:48is and can now use your scouts to reveal the quest marker in the area you are looking for.
02:53In my experience though this can be quite challenging and especially early in the game
02:58you want to use those scouts instead to get resources for your hideout by marking the
03:03stockpiles in restricted areas.
03:05You can also use them to remove an alarm when you are wanted and even if you don't
03:09use your scouts during a season they can still get loot for you and put them in the chest
03:14in your hideout.
03:15So scouts are useful in multiple ways.
03:18This means that in the guided mode you can use your scouts to get more resources so basically
03:23speed up your process because you don't need them to look for objectives.
03:28They will immediately appear on your map.
03:30The new is that the guided mode also reveals where the targets on your objective board
03:34are which kind of feels like cheating as it sometimes lets you skip objectives that would
03:39give you clues but you can also use it if you are stuck so play mostly on the exploration
03:44mode, you cannot find the target, quickly switch to guided mode, locate the target then
03:49switch back to exploration mode as you know now where to look.
03:52I played mostly on the guided mode as it was a way more relaxing experience for me but
03:57yeah that does mean that you cannot get all the trophies according to the menu.
04:02Well I asked Ubisoft and they confirmed to me that it's actually only one trophy or achievement
04:07you cannot get.
04:08And that is the one called a scouting mission as it requires you to gather information using
04:13a scout.
04:14You can't get this one because it's simply impossible to perform this because all the
04:19information will already be on your map in the guided mode.
04:22But yeah that does mean that it's not really an issue because you can simply get this trophy
04:27in the exploration mode, make sure you track a clue by the way and then dispatch the scouts
04:32at the right location.
04:33You now get the trophy, can go back to the guided mode if you want and still get the
04:37platinum or full achievement score.
04:39Got way more important info and of course if you like the videos so far be sure to leave
04:43a like and subscribe for way more spoiler free Assassin's Creed Shadows content like
04:48this.
04:49Another interesting setting I want to highlight is in regards to the quick time events.
04:52Like there are no regular quick time events during cutscenes or anything but you do have
04:57these orange activities on the map that you want to do to get knowledge points.
05:01With enough knowledge points you unlock a new knowledge rank and this opens up a new
05:05line of skills in each tree.
05:07For Naue or Kuchigiri meditation as these button prompts appear that then eventually
05:12disappear so you gotta remember them.
05:14Well if you put the quick time event setting on auto the game will auto complete the activity
05:18for if you don't like it.
05:20You can also do simplistic and then the prompts will be much easier to complete like just
05:24being 2 buttons instead of 4 different ones.
05:27And you can also auto complete the katas from Yasuke or also here put them on simplistic
05:32to make the prompts easier and then you can even fill one of the combos from the set and
05:37still complete the activity.
05:39So handy to know if you're having trouble.
05:41And yes you see me use the deluxe edition items here, got a video going way more in
05:45depth on that on the channel, maybe by the time you watch this it's already up.
05:48You will then find it in the video description.
05:51Another setting I want to quickly touch on is called area loot.
05:54This let's you instantly pick up all the loot from enemies close to each other instead
05:58of having to go to each body individually.
06:00Which the range was a bit longer as it sometimes doesn't let you grab everything and it sadly
06:05does not work on the resource pickups that you find close to each other which would have
06:10been nice.
06:11But still a great setting to turn on.
06:13Another mode you can select at the start is normal or immersive.
06:16Which basically means do you want to play in English or with Japanese voice acting and
06:21here is a nice comparison.
06:44I played in English and while I was worried that now his voice would not land, I did not
06:48really mind their performance, I thought it was actually pretty good throughout the
06:51full game.
06:52Also worth noting is that even in both the normal and immersive mode the Portuguese will
06:56still speak Portuguese to each other.
06:59And you can also just like the guided and exploration mode switch to the immersive mode
07:03or go back to English whenever you want.
07:06You can also always switch the difficulty and this also won't have an impact on your
07:10trophies or achievements but it will of course impact your gameplay.
07:14It's the most noticeable during stealth, I will touch on that in a moment.
07:18But it's also interesting to know what changes when you switch from normal to expert in combat.
07:23So of course the enemies hit harder, this is the general type enemy on normal and now
07:26that same enemy on expert deals this with the same two hits.
07:31So that's a noticeable difference.
07:32And to real quick give you another example, this spear soldier on normal takes 14 hits
07:37to kill me but on expert it's 10.
07:40Some are testing the amount of hits it takes for you to kill these enemies is not really
07:44impacted so enemies do not really become tankier.
07:48The game does note in the settings menu that you should use your highest level weapons
07:52and gear but that's a tip you should use overall because the damage increase per level on these
07:57items is pretty significant.
08:00The biggest change though is that in any difficulty you will see these white glows telegraphing
08:04a regular enemy attack so they can more easily block or parry it and counter the enemy.
08:10But on expert you will not see these anymore.
08:12So on expert you have to observe the enemies movement more which is more rewarding.
08:17The red glowing unblockable attacks that you want to dodge out of the way from and the
08:21blue flurry combo attacks that you want to all parry to stun the enemy will still be
08:25highlighted in the expert mode.
08:27I switched to the expert difficulty half way through the game by the way and I still did
08:32not really find a challenge especially in the boss fights so I hope they release a nightmare
08:37difficulty or something later on.
08:39Expert difficulty on stealth is way more challenging.
08:42Here I go into this camp on normal and can just without worry go on the rooftops and
08:46even to the next building, I have all the time in the world to scout the area.
08:50But on expert the brute immediately spots me and later other enemies will be noticing
08:54me on the roof as well.
08:56Worth noting though is that you do stay hidden on roofs if you remain in the shadows.
09:01So you really have to be more strategic on the expert difficulty.
09:05And I think it's interesting to go over the assassinations and how they are calculated
09:09as well to get you up to speed.
09:12Because it's this time all about the health segments that enemies have.
09:16At the start of the game you can assassinate enemies with 2 health segments, but by upgrading
09:20the hidden blade skill you can increase that.
09:22And also by wearing gear pieces you can increase it even further, although they usually specify
09:27how to assassinate an enemy in order to get the bonuses from the gear piece.
09:33For Yasuke's brutal assassinations it's a bit easier so you can only do that from the
09:37ground and you can also upgrade this in the skill tree and go all the way up to 7 health
09:42segments.
09:43And you can still use the brutal assassination even if you don't kill the enemy, then you
09:47will just do a regular slash, but yeah then start the fight with a nice headstart.
09:52You can also do this with Naue, but yeah you immediately start combat which you want to
09:56avoid with Naue overall.
09:58But to round it all out of course you can also turn on the guaranteed assassination
10:02setting and then every hidden blade kill and also every brutal assassination with Yasuke
10:07will be a one hit KO no matter what.
10:10I think it's way more fun and rewarding to go for the regular progression that they put
10:13in place and I got a ton of tips for that and other things to become overpowered early
10:18in my early things video that you can watch by clicking on the screen if it's already
10:21up.
10:22Just subscribe to not miss any of the spoiler free shadows content, got a question?
10:26Drop it in the comments and a like on the video would of course also really help me
10:29out.
10:30I'll speak to you soon, goodbye!
