Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing Assassins Creed Odyssey (Tips & Tricks)

Playing this game again now in 2023, first time I had like 100+ hours into it and after watching videos , ive missed so many things and boss fights etc. Going back into this beautiful world ❤ I think this and Syndicate are the best AC games ive played.

Thank you for identifying "Level Scaling". I talked about this to several friends but they never even gave it a thought. It made me give up on it my first try.
And whoever thought "Level Scaling" was a good idea; Go play blindfolded on the highway please!
Otherwise, great vid!

Best AC game

i never use that horse like at all

This is actually one of the best review/tips video done on this game that I've seen so far. MALAKA!!!

This is more a review than a tips video.

Is level scaling off now in Odyssey?
Left Kephallonia and went to one of the closest lands from there. People were so high in level I couldn’t see their level and they were basically one shotting me with arrows.

I love the love of scale and this game I love this game itself it's mean the game so much more easier to put it on the light scale for me :)

Bought the gold edition on sale for $20. Can’t beat that deal and I’m having a blast 😅

Just want to give you credit for this video, you sound pretty young but you've done a really good job of this edit and talk over. Great work 👍

This is a truly excellent highly professional video that appeals to my gameplay your video is truly informative and gives the facts that are needed for a successful gameplay I am a fan and look forward to seeing more of your excellent work bravo

recently played the game and finished the main campaign besides dlcs in 60 hours. My biggest complaint was that i was broke from start to finish🥲. Wish i could upgrade my ezio kit but its too expensive.

Im playing for the first time now. Ages like fine wine.
I feel so sorry for all the people who rushed through this 5 years ago.

After putting quite a few hours in I totally agree. The level scaling destroys the game, removing any reason to level up and indeed play the game. It should have been like Fallout 4 for example. That and the fight mechanics, plus the bad voice acting, ,has made me give this a miss. Such a shame. Of course the reason for the former is to encourage micro transactions. The search for the perfect game continues.

only game i’ve bought all the dlc for. best AC title by far

Came to check out this video ... my first time back on since I put 48 hours in on release... still an amazing game. Taking my time this time and paying way more attention

Just brought Origins, Valhalla and Odyssey deluxe editions for $90 all together.

Just dove in again (2024) I’d put in a few hours right after launch and wandered off - partly because I didn’t really get good at video games till the pandemic and lockdown, TBH. But I just decided to reload and restart Odyssey instead of buying a new game, and I am so glad I did! I’m completely obsessed. Definitely taking your advice to take my time with this game because I want to be playing it for a long time - and it looks like I would have to anyway! Great video thanks New subscriber here.

I'm 5 Yr late to the game and I've literally just choose join my crew 30 minutes before watching this .... gutted lol

Thanks for the tips. Would you recommend to just change always armor and weapons or does it make sense to level weapons up?

(I just downloaded the game and never played it)

I chose nightmare mode. How does this affect level scaling 😂😭

first time playing the game, just found out about the cult and how crazy that is. loving it atm

I'm going to find that glitch!

This is the kind of game you only get to experience for the first time once. It pulled me in and won't let go. I have to get back to my life but I can't turn it off!

Thanks for a great video, it helps a ton.

This and Valhalla are so repetitive.

U don't upgrade bears upgrade them at lvl 11 then every 10 lvls

I just wanted that I could have all clues for the spartan cultist king but as I searched some forums you have to listen to Brasidas so that he will give you a letter. It hurt my ego so bad :)) when going in front of the kings and couldn't prove the cultist king and you waste a lot of money to get rid of mercenaries trying to get you or fight and die sometimes because you are not prepared to fight against fort guards and mercenaries at the same time. I like this game just because it is hard and always challenging. It reminds me of Metin 2 back in the days. I liked that we have a very big map but it felt like I tried to grind and get the level so I can complete the quests and the quests took a small amount of time comparing to the grind for level. I just wished we had more content in terms of quests. But I need to say that this is almost the perfect game and surely my favorite. And also as a child I liked the 300 movie so it just made me feel like I was part of a movie in some situations.

Waiting for the next big game from ubisoft: AC Shadows but I need to buy a new PC for it now.

Just started playing in 2024 and I’m loving it I’m level 32 and I have about 40-50 hours in. I don’t think I’m even half way through the main missions I just went to the little party thing after finding out about the cult but man I done ordered all 3 dlc’s especially since they are on sale rn $12.33 definitely gonna be worth it

Odyssey is one of the most fun Assassins Creed games there is I now playing true it and yeah you need to take your time in there and special with enemys bonty hunter and higher lvl enemy some is best to take out with bow and keep they a bit away for getting a hit on you to fast and do get all the area in places check out and yes I always pick Kassandra because I think Alexios sound so damn cocky lol but the only thing I dont like in the game if you lvl a bit fast and forget to upgrade the pize for the upgrade is soo crazy high but I like the game a lot 🙂

100% agree with the first point. I made that mistake with Valhalla where i was concentrating on finishing it abcd ended up resenting it.
I played it again a year later at a much slower pace and enjoyed it much more.

I played odyssey as Alexios first then finished the game and replayed it like Kassandra.. I liked it so much that I played it for a third time as Kassandra and played all the DLC’s.. not my favorite AC game but one of my favorite open world games ever!

I let the baby die and went after chrysis😂

I did the same thing. I rushed through the game at first and got burnt out on it at some point years ago. Just restarted it and I’ve been exploring and doing all the side quests and it’s amazing. Rushing through the main story is a mistake

This game is amazing! I'm replying it now

Back when this released I hated the concept of AC being in this type of genre. 6 years down the road and I couldn’t be more happy I picked this game up. It hits all the right places compared to games releasing now.

Still one of my favourite games of all-time. I wish I could erase my memories with this game and replay it!

Thx, for the video it makes more sense why I was having a hard time with the enemy 😂

This is bad advice. You should just be using whatever weapon is best until you hit higher levels. Then you engrave what you and THEN upgrade

The only problem with this game is it uses the name Assassin's Creed. Most AC fans will understand why.

Just started playing in 2024 after my first ac game ac mirage. This is so much better 😀

I was good at it, came back to it after a couple of years away from it, not enjoying it. Boo

Are you a "northener"? It's a hobby of mine to guess accents. Also, great video!

I have 800+ hours and I just realized you can fast travel within ship docks on your map. You dont have to phisically go to an island with ur ship if the dock is highlighted on the map. Just fast travel and save time🙂

The first 40 hours I was liking the dialogue then it just became so much I skipped all of it😂

So should we do all the side and small quests first, so we can level up to the required level that the main quest demands?

Just started playing I love it less of assassins creed more like a Greek epic

The upgrading equipment every time you level up is terrible advice and will waste a ton of resources. For a start, armour def stats don't really matter all that much, it's the perks you want. I literally took on level 80s with level 30 armour, but the perks were awesome for crit and assassin damage. Also, you only ever pay for 5 levels at the blacksmith when upgrading. So if you're upgrading a piece if equipment from say level 10 to level 50, you'll only pay for the last 5 levels. I don't upgrade any equipment until it's at least 15 levels behind my current level. And if you upgrade it every level, you're paying for every level. A complete waste of resources. The only thing to really concentrate on is your 2x weapon of choice and the bow because the DPS is really important. Even so, I don't upgrade until they're about 10 levels below mine. Make sure to upgrade the spear as soon as possible too. It makes assassinations much easier. Don't horde the shards for the forge and do them all at once. And don't waste too many resources on your ship straight off the bat. Better to have upgraded weapons than the ship until you have some extra resources. I'd also recommend hoarding as many gear items as possible. Leave yourself only a few slots free for every mission, because the higher level you get the more resources you get back when you sell or dismantle them. You get nothing for them when you're low level. Make use of your ship's storage box when your inventory gets full. Really, too many people waste so many resources in this game. 😅
