What’s your level

[@Kimkong2]

This game was just more well thought out . It feels like more attention to detail was put into it. From how Bayek walked and ran through different terrain. The clothes physics and even the free running was the best of all the last three. Heck even the environments have better dynamic physics. In Valhalla you just go through bushes and they don’t really move

[@Dallin_S]

This game is a gorgeous masterpiece.

[@apizcyril9479]

the sound in origins was far superior than odyssey...and random npcs in town have more dialogues than the latest two games. the landscape also better. every region has their own unique theme. not copy and paste island like in odyssey

[@ajacob12]

There's nothing advanced about the parkour in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. It was a huge downgrade.

[@Dallin_S]

A lot of the lesser known aspects I share in the video are not explained by the game itself, so they are advanced relative to what's available in these games. It's about making the most of what the games let us do, not about trying to say they let us do cooler stuff than the older games did

I just learned a new parkour move in origins, the diagonal wallrun,all though it is very difficult to perform consistently. First, you need to find a wall, then your camera and Bayek need to be parallel to the wall,then hold the parkour button and move forward and very slightly to the direction of the wall. Bayek will perform a diagonal wallrun, like in unity. This move is very precise.

[@Harventhroke]

I totally know what you're talking about! And yes it is tricky to trigger consistently

You can also chain it with an eject if you do it on an unclimbable surface.

It wouldn't make sense even if there was unity like parkour in this game.

[@TheDezembro]

Great video, I went back to Origins this year (I just love its atmosphere and pacing.. I feel like Odyssey and Valhalla were crafted to be played literally forever whereas Origins is a more "Focused single player experience".) And what I noticed was that, despite Valhalla for example having more movement mechanics, Origins' cities/villages/forts,etc were more thought out in terms of parkouring. I know that in Odyssey I HARDLY ever got any fun times parkouring... And In Valhalla there's more but it feels like there should be *even more* given the size of the cities and especially the height of many buildings. But in Origins, despite most buildings being so tiny, they just stacked them so well and had a lot of ropes and clothes lines and whatnot to bounce around on. You know what I miss in these last 3 games?! Back in the Ezio trilogy you could jump into these little market stalls, for example from the front, and Ezio would basically grab the top and swing out of either side depending on your input... There's so many similar types of stands in these games where they set up marketplaces and.. just... I just miss doing fun stuff like that. The last 3 games have been so underwhelming in terms of parkour. One thing I do like to do in these games though is running up weird angles on poles that aren't actually designed in a way to continue movement? Its just odd tall poles or tree trunks that have something at the top or near the top that in THEORY it should be able to be grabbed but isn't? Much like a lot of the techniques in this video, you may be disappointed as nothing happens and the character just drops back to the ground... But every now and then they run further up said object and at that point before they're gonna drop down, if you tap the parkour button, the character will grab said ledge/object at the top. I realize its tough to explain via text so I'll just keep my eyes out in my journeys and if I do it again, I'll record and upload it and come back here.

[@Dallin_S]

I totally feel the same in a lot of ways... it makes me sad how many opportunities were missed in the game in terms of movement, but yes, Origins by far has the most enjoyable environments for hopping around, sans question. I also adore this game's pacing, atmosphere, and all the love that obviously went into making it. Such a work of art. Please let me know if you get a clip of what you're describing, I'm definitely interested in watching it!

[@ACV]

Great video💯❤️

[@Dallin_S]

Thanks!

[@gutti7814]

Wow this is like a whole new world of possibilities, thank you for making this. By the way I'm curious, roughly how long have you played ac origins for?

[@Dallin_S]

Thank you! I have 326 hours on the Steam clock.

[@themusicalgerbil192]

Honestly it took me quite a while before I even realised you could roll in Origins (I think it was only mentioned in a random loading screen message), but I devoted over 330 hours to this game and never knew you could do side ejects >_< After trying it out, I find that I have the most consistency by double-tapping the parkour button. Also, with the catch ledge feature, I may be wrong, but I thought it was executed by pressing climb down, i.e. circle on PS4? I think I only found it from muscle memory since it's the same command as in the early games, haha. Also I had to laugh at the Smenkhare tomb bit. All that jumping around on those platforms and all this time I could've just bypassed it so easily.

[@Dallin_S]

I'll have to try the double-tapping! Also I haven't really tried using the climb down button for catching ledges, I'll have to try that too. It took me a long time to figure out any of this stuff myself too

[@Dallin_S]

Tested the holding parkour down when falling at wall for Catch Ledge, and it indeed seems to make Bayek snap to it better!

[@thebatmanofneo-gotham5667]

Just saying this right now: Bayek backflipping into a haystack from a rope is one of the coolest and smoothest animations I've ever seen. It looks so cool.

[@devileye90]

i’ve always wondered why bayek’s parkour is not as flashy as other ACs, and attributed it as him being one of the first assassins as the reason why his parkour is more pragmatic. now i know, it’s just me not exploring enough with parkour in this game with bayek 😂 took hours figuring out how to get up the top of that ledge for the pyramid puzzle, i LOLed when you did that side eject and skipped the entire thing 💀

[@Dallin_S]

Hahaha glad to hear the video helped and entertained!

[@Jesus_Christ113]

if origins had a better modding community, im sure all the problems with the parkour would be fixed, starting with vaulting over any object, consistent wall and side ejects, and manual jumping. thats really all this parkour system needs honestly, that and a little more speed

[@Dallin_S]

I would be so stoked to see mods improving the parkour for this game.

[@adonisvillain]

Wow, I haven't bought Origins yet, but my friends gave me Valhalla. And I applied these tips for parkour - it really became easier and more interesting to play. I finally understood how the character is controlled. Especially in big cities like Lunden. (it's strange that this is not explained in the game itself). Thanks for the tips. But it seems to me that in Origins the character climbs and moves faster. Somehow it's even more interesting to watch. And the fabric of his suit reacts very well to his movements + towels and flags hung around the city. In Valhalla, for some reason, the fabric seems to be made of stone and does not react in any way.

[@Dallin_S]

Sorry I missed your comment! You are very much right about the movement speed in Origins. Personally, I appreciate how weighty Eivor feels in Valhalla though. That being said, you are absolutely correct about the fabric simulation - it's basically crap in Valhalla, unfortunately. And really pretty good in Origins.

[@itzmrinyy7484]

Another thing to add to swinging: it's usually a much more stylish way to get to lower ground than simply jumping, and you can be pretty high off the ground and still swing downwards, although it won't work all the time You can also do a swinging switch animation, where you switch directions on the bar mid-swing. To initiate the animation you have to start a swing then direct the joystick backwards, Bayek will swing backwards. If you continuously hold it down backwards Bayek will continue to switch positions while swinging. In my own parkour runs, I noticed that while holding X is a very consistent way to side eject to far objects, it's usually much more consistent to just tap O in the desired direction. Keep in mind that to land on top of the object you have to be one handhold on top of the object, not directly above. And you can even O eject while still still in the climbing animation, and it'll land you on top of the desired object. You can even be decently far from the desired platform, and it'll still land you on top of it. An example of a potential application of the O eject is in 6:26. The O eject is very useful when trying to speed climb on top of a building in a stylish manner, as Bayek will wall jump whenever he's on a platform, and wall jumps are faster than normal climbing. Though even the O eject has its flaws; sometimes it'll compute as a climb down animation. The best way to keep it consistent is by following the rules of the X eject; directional movement>O tap. Another thing the O eject won't work with is interior ejects. What is an interior eject? Well, it's when you eject onto an interior surface, as seen in 7:59, the O eject simply cannot do this. This is one of the few times I actually find myself using the X eject. Another thing to note about ejects is that there is no elevation as in earlier games: back ejecting onto another wall will not give you extra height, neither will side ejecting, so chaining side ejects and back ejects is virtually useless as you'll remain in the same position. On the topic of ejects, I'm playing through Odyssey and I've noticed that interior ejects are gone, and very seldom applicable. Also that the O eject is useless, as even if you're 3 feet above a platform Kassandra will fall to a catch ledge animation. A weird thing I've noticed is that you can't side/back eject from a tree if you were previously balancing on a beam.

[@MirrorsEdgeGamer01]

Yeah, the Kassandra situation is weird; sometimes she will land on the ledge, and sometimes she will not.

[@MirrorsEdgeGamer01]

Could you upload a video showing the pole swinging; I imagine it's similar to Syndicate.

[@cxnvert]

Jo this is so cool. I didn’t know some things. For example swinging into a haystack. Origins parkour is actually way smoother than Origins/Valhalla. The only things that these games make better is vaulting. I don’t understand why they removed it. It was possible in the e3 demo and it is actually possible in the game, but only in tomps. Which doesn’t make so much sence sadly. Ps. I have actually one addition I discovered in the game. If you you jump from a higher point in a swing. For example for the wood sticks or the Bands in the air. If you are to far away and can’t catch them you can activate bow slomotion to actually have more range in the air.

[@Dallin_S]

Yes I am also very sad about the exclusion of vaulting, when in reality there was no reason for them not to include it :( What do you mean exactly with the slow-motion thing? You are saying if Bayek jumps off of a ledge and there is a bar really far away he will fly through the air to catch it?

[@Rish24]

@@Dallin_S ive tried it and it works. If there is a bar too far away aim with a bow after swinging from the first bar.(take note you need the slowmo ability) Then aim towards the bar and release before you land, and bayek will catch it

This is a very precise and purposive origins gameplay, one that I've never tried before or even considered trying. AC elements are devolving with every new game that each newer one makes the earlier ones feel that much better in comparison.. and frankly I appreciate origins much more now. Great video man, appreciate the effort that you put in. Feel like I can enjoy Origins much better now.

[@Dallin_S]

Thank you, I am glad if the video helps you enjoy the game better!

[@alechamilton1864]

The biggest thing origins did right with the rpg style was that it still made the story linear, and more focused, like the games before it, and still told the story of assassins versus Templars with the isu storylines involved. And this game it’s acceptable that the character wasn’t an assassin in the main story, as the games story revolves around how the assassins as a group formed, even if they weren’t called the Assassin Brotherhood until much later.

[@Dallin_S]

I'm glad to hear it! You are welcome!

[@Traxotetir]

There's also a swing thing where if you want to trigger the swing animation while static and then hold down the joystick button, he will keep changing between back and forth so you can choose your direction, this also works while you're swinging normally from one to another, right as you reach the next you hold down the joystick then just as you turn around you do it normally

[@noquieropuerco]

I am so glad I found this vid! I wonder how many of these moves carry over to Odyssey (since that's the one I'm playing right now). I'm especially excited to try the bar swings and ejects. Awesome stuff! Subbed!

[@Dallin_S]

Thanks! Everything described in the video should work in Odyssey, seeing as the movement system in that game is essentially a carbon copy of that of Origins. That being said, I have not tested it in Odyssey so I guess we'll have to find out!

[@Omar-Asim]

Great video! Hope it reaches more people. 6:00 Now I'm curious how else the parkour changed in the sequels :)

[@Dallin_S]

Thank you for the support! Please feel free to share the video with people you think might be interested! I don't know of any other significant changes to movement in the two following games, other than general modifications to speed (Odyssey you are faster, Valhalla you feel more sluggish or weighty - which I personally like actually).

[@Omar-Asim]

@@Dallin_S Have not played Valhalla yet, but in Odyssey parkour feels like a downgrade. Not much reason to climb when you can essentially teleport to the enemy there, no point in having a controlled descent when you can survive any and all falls from any height. I also feel the cities were better designed for parkour in Origins, more ropes/trees/other objects between buildings to connect them. I still enjoyed the game enough to play through it twice and get 100% achievements however.

[@Dallin_S]

@@Omar-Asim I definitely agree - Odyssey's gameplay and game world design are not at all conducive to parkour. Valhalla maybe doesn't have as great cities for it as origins, but I find myself enjoying it significantly more than Odyssey.

Great video! This options are also valid for odyssey and valhalla?

[@Dallin_S]

As far as I know nearly everything covered in the video should work in Odyssey and Valhalla, with the addition of manual vaulting by holding down the climb down button when running into low obstacles. They didn't really change anything about the movement system in those games other than the speed of the movement.

[@jormdeworm]

I recently found out you actually CAN vault in Assassin’s Creed Origins, though it’s too unreliable and not great enough for a parkour video. However, if you’re crouching next to those standing shields you actually can vault over them.

[@Dallin_S]

Yes! Yeah there are specific obstacles/assets that are vaultable. Too bad there's no manual way to trigger it unlike in the following two games

[@siegebug]

I played origin's discovery mode again because of moon knight, you weren't kidding when you said how inconsistent it feels. I'm then reminded the structure of the game doesn't really encourage parkour anyway.

[@Dallin_S]

I mean tbh I think there are areas of the game that DO encourage parkour, but the games movement mechanics pretty much diacourage it. And yeah, it's basically nerfed in discovery mode.

[@Roosalio]

Little random tip I learned myself recently, if climbing next to a window you can climb through it from the side like in Unity and Syndicate by moving towards the window sideways and pressing your parkour button. I may have been just dumb and thought you can only climb through windows from below but you can climb through them sideways. I find entering a window from above to be inconsistent and I think you have to use climb down as Bayek is directly above the window and just pray

[@Dallin_S]

Yes! Thank you for pointing this out. I love the sideways climb in window animation

[@worstthanaveragegamer1041]

So sad this game has the worst parkour, no matter how much someone knows about it, the game is so restrictive that it's nothing compared to the previous games

[@Dallin_S]

Yeah it hurts😢

[@Ryan-zm7kn]

when i do the side eject thing bayek climbs up instead of leaping to the side, or he leaps to the side but just next to the thing i want him to be on. do you have any tips?

[@Dallin_S]

Hey Ryan! If I'm understanding correctly you're referring to doing the side eject from a hand hold, correct? (as opposed to out of the top of a wall run.) If that is the case, my best tip is to make sure you start directing Bayek sideways where he is on the wall and THEN press and hold the parkour button. I hope this makes sense. If you press the parkour button first, that could definitely make him climb upwards instead of jumping sideways. I'd also recommend practicing this on the tops of the Egyptian houses in particular, where there are short railings on the roof (see the video for multiple examples of doing this). Sorry for such a long reply! Let me know if you still have questions:)

[@maddogmcgruder5435]

The only thing they should have kept are vaults,flashy descent side ejects lateral movement while climbing and maybe add some wall running like in prince of persia,quick descents on npc s like in ac brotherhood and parachutes were great

[@triplezeroxz5875]

Is this also in Valhalla? And therefore possibly Mirage?

[@Dallin_S]

Yes, with likely only small differences

[@usmanqureshi8941]

Hoping some of these make it to Mirage, the environments look way more useful for parkour

[@Dallin_S]

Definitely more parkour oriented level design in Mirage, hopefully the controls get renovated too. More player control would be nice

[@returnofthedjed11]

There are truly a few gems in here, thanks so much!! Ac Origins is my fav AC title along with Syndicate and Mirage hehehehe

[@rankandey280]

please make a guide on AC SYNDICATE

It's on my to do list:)

[@arivivith4375]

I've actually known and used the side ejects using the parkour down button in valhalla. I thought everyone knew side ejects do exist.

[@godmodecheater153]

Do you hold or tap the parkour button?

[@MirrorsEdgeGamer01]

@@godmodecheater153 Sorry for the late reply, all you need to do is just hold the direction you want to go in and tap the Parkour up button.

[@0KarlAdrian0]

Is it just me or is there a sudden rush of Prince of Persia nostalgia when I watched this video? especially with the brown surroundings and wooden bars

[@gaboxd4407]

I always thought the catch ledge mechanic was way better and cooler than the leap of faith

Definitely involves more creativity and skill

[@Calypso694]

had no idea you could control the ejects sort of.

[@Dallin_S]

It's pretty obscure, the game doesn't exactly point it out to players

[@dominiceh9702]

I can never side eject from a tree is the timing usually tricky?

[@Dallin_S]

Yes, the ting is frustratingly specific. You have to press the parkour button somewhere around the peak of the wall run, not too early, not too late. Experiment with the timing and you should be able to figure it out.

[@user-zc8fq5ui4d]

how were you able to swing on the rope? 1:31

[@Dallin_S]

Pretty sure I explain it later in the video, but you just hold down the parkour button to start swinging (a on xbox, x on playstation).

[@user-zc8fq5ui4d]

You can vault over objects using B on Xbox controller.

[@Dallin_S]

Sadly... this only works in AC Odyssey and AC Valhalla (of the new games).

[@PautinoPR]

Ubisoft made a hate crime when they removed the manual roll

[@Dallin_S]

It is a thing in all three RPGs...

[@xottic.brotherhood]

Lache-The Lache is parkour or freerunning move used to swing off of a bar or branch. After swinging the traceur can grab onto another bar or branch, or land in a precision, crane or cat. Enable to do this move in origins hold L3 or LS downward as soon as bayek jumps to the beam or pole just like in unity and syndicate

[@Ori_gold822]

i didn't manage to do the Eject from wall run

[@rudeboy212]

[@GlennArendse]

How do I do back eject while climbing

[@Dallin_S]

You tap the parkour button while hanging on the wall, but there needs to be a close enough target obstacle or the ground within range for it to work.

[@krypto_7155]

Wonder if all of this will carry over to mirage

[@Dallin_S]

Most likely will, with the addition of consistent manual vaults carried over from Odyssey and Valhalla

[@zevfeistory]

what is the parkour button? ALT?

[@Dallin_S]

By default, yes. I would recommend rearranging the keybindings though

[@Luger0312]

This makes me actually kind of hopeful to somewhat enjoy parkour in AC Mirage. The system seems to still be the same as in the RPGs, where ejects don't gain height, there are no manual jumps and advanced movement is very contextual. But the advanced moves have been contextual ever since Unity. And Mirages world design will grant a drastically higher amount of contexts to perform them in, compared to any of the RPG ACs. So, it won't be on par with the old games parkour wise. But it could be doing ok.

[@Dallin_S]

I am hopeful for similar reasons!

[@datl7485]

Love the video, very informative. Do you use keyboards and mouse or controller for smooth parkour? What do you prefer?

[@Dallin_S]

If you use default controller layout then it is hard to control the camera at the same time as using the parkour button (unless your controller has back paddles), but otherwise I very much prefer controller for this game overall, not necessarily for the parkour. I like being able to make Bayek walk a bit faster with the joystick for example

>holding vs tapping Wasn't this a thing first introduced in AC3/Liberation?

[@Dallin_S]

I mean... you can tap the jump button to wallrun when you're next to a wall. Tapping the high profile button will just make you twitch to get ready to sprint I believe

[@eneco3965]

@@Dallin_S Yeah, that's how it was before AC3 though. Before you'd have to press 2 buttons to climb, but after 3 it's only one.

[@Dallin_S]

@@eneco3965 Right so for xbox you just hold right trigger and move at a wall in the Kenway games. Or alternatively, you can stand right in front of a wall and tap 'a' (jump)

[@thebulletkin8393]

I heard in some syndicate guide that they’d made it so that the vertical angle of your camera will affect where you jump to when leaping off of stuff, is this still a thing?

[@Dallin_S]

You probably saw the guide I uploaded on AC Syndicate parkour, as I did mention the camera angle affecting where you jump to. And short answer yes, it does work like this in Origins thru Valhalla. Longer answer is that while it does seem to affect the place you land, it doesn't seem to affect it very much or very easily in most situations, rendering it a nearly useless tool in the RPG games. Unless someone's figured out how to make it work consistently and predictably.

Yes! For the most part everything qorks the same in those games, with the major addition of a manual vault button (hold down parkour down when approaching an obstacle).

[@ayofrate9726]

Thks for the guide bro , but eject from hold doesnt work for me , i push movements joystick and Parkour button but bayek continu to make large jump on the wall ...not the jump on the side why ? ( Im ver 1.52 )

8:40 this exactly that bayek doing :(

[@Dallin_S]

@@ayofrate9726 Are you trying to do it next to an object bayek can land on? If there isn't anything within range, he will just hop sideways along the wall. It might also help to pull the joystick diagonally down and to the side. If the obstacle is significantly lower than you on the wall, use the climb down button instead of the parkour button.
