Idk if it’s just me, but I like to explore all the major locations and complete everything there so that when the main quest takes me there I just focus on the actual story. Anyone else?

[@raphael2407]

it's not just you. I enjoy having a longer game, not rushing at all and simply enjoy my gametime. Why rush a singleplayer game like ACV is totaly beyond me and in my opinion the number one mistake you can make in such a game. I usualy play the story in the zone, then complete the zone as much as I can, then move to the next zone to play the story... I don't like "going back" and the completionist in me wants the zones done 100%. So I inly leave the content out that I can't beat, like some of the bosses, safe them for later. Patience goes a long way.

And start on easiest mode, that way there's more value.

[@GeoEmertech]

A few extra pointers, some complementary, some counter to the OP 1. Settlement. Buildings you need: smithy, shop, assassin's bureau and the two +25 health feast bonus buildings. The rest are optional. 2. The "little guy": The scimitar you see in the movie is actually the BEST weapon you'll find for a time. It's a legendary 2H sword which means it's: a) almost as powerful as the dane axe, b) it's way faster than the axe, c) it's bear aligned and in a melee heavy game you want to upgrade first those areas in the skill tree and d) it has already all the upgrade slots open so you can upgrade it fully mid game when you have enough titanium. That's 20-30% more damage than with any other one available. 3. Raids are actually the best way to get experience besides the storyline. And easy and fun to do. But do them only after unlocking fast travel points nearby. 4. I agree the gold spots with ingots and gear are not so useful, so visit them only if they are nearby when you do quests. But do the mysteries if you can. They're worth up to 1200xp and take minutes each. 5. Shops restock every time you gain a level. Extremely useful for the tons of iron ore and titanium you'll need. Every time you level up, go to your settlement, buy 200 iron ore and 5 titanium and you'll be able to upgrade everything. 6. Runes are useless mostly. Except for the ones that bolster your life points. The rest are weak.

Use them.

Add roving bands of bandits now and then, make it you have to clear the place out before a timer finishes, could have. A flaming building as the timer so not to. Break Emersion, if it brims to ground you don't get any loot, basically the rains are all just to similar, they could add a wager system with your crew. You could bet small amounts of gold on how many Head shots you Get or kilss with certain weapons etc

To get to level 6 settlement, you HAVE to raid all monasteries + some more chests because you'll have enough raw materials but you'll run out of supplies.

I spent like an hour stacking rocks, and multiple hours fully completing the first area before I even did the, "go to settlement" quest. But back to the point.

I enjoyed when the majority of fighting lasted five or six seconds and then you'd be on your way.

Okay so what you should build in order. Blacksmith (the game forces you), Trading Post, Hunters Post, Fishers Post, Assassins' building, Stables, Shipyard, Barracks and then everything else. Also you don't need to keep resetting skill points just get all the major unlocks and then F around with the other skills because they're a lot of really useful skills in it like throw a dead enemies weapon or catch an incoming spear. Reasons why you build in that order is because Blacksmith (upgrades for weapons and armor), Trading Post (for goods to sell and you can buy useful items and cosmetics, Hunters Post (Legendary Animals and Trading in animal parts for Items), Fishing Post (to trade all the fish you catch), Assassin's (to unlock The Order menu), Stables (mainly to upgrade your mount), Shipyard (to change your ship cosmetic) and Barracks (for your Lieutenant, other peoples and to change the crew around to listen to NPC stories).

[@M0bbs]

It really doesn't matter how you go about the game, it's all about play style. I followed the story mostly with bits of exploring in between. Personally wish I had taken my time exploring and getting all of the synch points. I've had to do A LOT of walking and riding! Some people want to complete everything as they go and that is fine, albeit a bit tedious imo. But if your goal is to do everything, you will end up coming back eventually.

Without ingots you can’t use the iron and leather to improve the weapons, very contradicting video

[@shadowyclip]

you also find the ingots very easily and will use far fewer of them than iron ore and leather.

[@guitarman0365]

no the ingots are only for increasing the upgrade slots that you can upgrade for the weapon to use iron and leather for. So you use iron and leather to upgrade the weapon stats but then you hit a peak. That is where the ingots come into play to increase the amount of slots you can upgrade using iron and leather. The ingot upgrade also gives the new appearances and adds rune slots but the ingots don't technically upgrade your stats. That is only the other materials.

Great video as always. I do kind of disagree about skipping opals and the shop. I got the opal map day one and I've been getting quite a lot throughout the map but I'm guessing I don't even have a third of what's on that map and I have 231 opals from just picking them up from the world and also doing daily quests. You can get 20 opals per week also from the daily's which only take a few minutes per quest. It just comes down to how much time you want to spend with this game. This video was geared more toward people that want to complete it fast so, if that is your mindset you're not wrong either, you can definitely make due with the weapons and armor you find in the world. I'm just letting people know if you're like me and you don't really care how long it takes you to complete the game and like exploring it's probably worth the time you spend getting opals.

For what stuff tho? Soemn of teh armour is OK but even a moderate paced playthrough you will find opals etc. I feel they are in the game as a negative thing. Get a legendary gauntlet for only 120 opals, want the rest? Go to helix and use Real money. In fact its actually pretty shitty. They should sell full suits at least in the traders shop

[@babayaga4320]

@@Jade-PG Ya I wouldn't get armor I agree. But for the weapons, some of which are really good, even OP, like the poison mace. If I could choose I wouldn't want micro transactions at all in this game, like you I do think that's shitty for a $60 single player game, but it is there and if you can get some of it for free why not? Plus all items are already mythical quality and that is a big deal, because you don't have to spend any resources upgrading it. Resources also take time to get that you're saving.

This is why you don't put out these kind of videos until you actually get far into the game and know what your talking about.... Asgard is awesome, raiding is awesome, upgrading your settlement gives you in game buffs. Upgrading all your weapons with ingots is very necessary as some weapons are better than others in certain situation.

[@Jade-PG]

most of what you say is subjective and based on opinion, asgard offers littel reward, raiding is to easy and repetitive, settlement buffs are not needed unless on hardest difficulty, upgrading all weapons is grindy and boring when you only realy need 3 sets - you can disdsagree thats fine but then maybe make avideo explaining all that. biut fact is nothing i said is to do with how much or when i made mine, after 100 hours i still say the same

[@TehDeZine]

Of course it's subjective but your whole video is subjective. Not sure why your playing the game if your not enjoying the core elements to the game. Asgard for me offered a great experience with the Norse god's and I loved that sequence. Raiding is what it is. Try changing your weapon combinations it might make you e joy the game a little bit

[@Jade-PG]

@@TehDeZine the core elements could be argued its story of England not mythical asgard, i think its more teh rewards you get for foing through asgard just were not super interesting, its not as bad as vineyard etc but i dont know felt tacked on and i wasnt that interested i like raiding but when its a challenge i think ubisoft know there are issues as its the main thing they are adding as free content soon, and i have tried all teh weapons but yoru original comment was to upgrade them all and thats time i dont see as worthy if most weapons are medium or not yoru playstyle, i didnt mind upgrade system overall and i preferer it over odeysseys overwelming loot

[@teaoanimar]

Knowing what isn't super important so you know you have the option to skip it if you don't like or grow tired of that activity is quite useful, so thank you for the useful video. But... your commentary makes it sound like you are playing the game like it's a job not for fun. The goal is to avoid parts of the game you don't like and concentrate on the parts you do, it's not "make the game shorter".

[@agoatwithnonamd]

In terms of difficulty, you can just let enemies scale to or above your power level. Then it wont matter where you go first. Personally, i like to play with berserkr combat stats, but have all the parry windows and stealth on normal. This rewards stealth and makes parries still relatively easy to perform, but punishes mistakes harshly and extends fights!

if you want a better version of the special attack of the axes you should go a sickle in your main hand and a axe in your off hand you’ll see the damage improve massively if you do use that special attack just beware of your stamina and i’d get a skill where every light attack gives you stamina

I usually just explore everywhere and get everything i can get before doing any story.

[@Jabberwokee]

@@eightninety., well, I mean in the lore the gods ARE pretty normal but they’ve got super powers.

[@eightninety.]

@@Jabberwokee We’re talking about “people” who can transcend time and space even before their birth...

[@connordutton674]

@@eightninety. in general though compared to Greek and Egyptian gods Norse gods while still very powerful weren’t immortal in their nature. They all possessed some level of superhuman physical abilities especially Thor who was by far the strongest and they all possessed some level of magical abilities but not on the same level as the other gods. Not many of them had overarching themes like Ares being god of war or Apollo being the sun god. Many of their abilities steamed from their items weapons, armor and applications of runes. A good example is while Zeus kept mostly order in Olympus he did that by power alone as hardly anyone could challenge him, his brothers came close but it would still take many of them teaming up to defeat him. Odin on the other hand kept order or the status quo by mainly using trickery and pitting them against each other so they would never challenge him or think about it. Only Zeus was ever called the king of the gods nobody else has the title.

I think your early point is a great one overall. I'm new to the AC series, but coming from a game like say RDR2, when I got into my first settlement there I literally stopped the storyline and went to collect in game items, guns, etc. Tried that here and kept dying instantly lol. I like the system of leveling your power up, and bosses being way out of your range. A good example is you can't go collect Thors items or Excalibur until late game. Pretty cool concept and I'm loving where the story is taking me so far

Jommsvikingr are are good to recruit if you want to make passive money, i.e. silver. It not a ton, but it’s about 50-200 silver every hour or two. The higher level your jommsvikingr is and also the higher level that you recruit will bring in more silver and goods. If your whole crew is full of other players jommsvikingr you’ll be making decent passive silver even though it’s not totally necessary.
