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

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

[@Harventhroke]

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.

[@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!

[@weiwurn]

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.

[@9cboomer720]

Thanks dude. I think this AC has polished movements that others lacked. I really like how natural the Main character moves in this one.

[@Dallin_S]

You are very welcome!! Thanks for commenting:) I agree with you.

[@Fallen-gryphon]

Yes you can definitely tell they spent time in making bayek feel like bayek he feels like he moves like how you think he would you can feel his personality through his movement

[@spoodurmin9742]

I actually accidentally did the catch ledge maneuver while playing and it kinda blew my mind haha. I knew some of these minus swinging off of beams and the awesome swing into the bale of hay. Great video man, very clear and concise.

[@Dallin_S]

Thank you! Glad you liked it:)

[@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.

[@asashin_yurei2683]

My man did it. Imma save this until i have origins just to reach destinations very quickly on cities. Horses/camels bore me when going to plain areas like open desert XD

[@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.

@@Jesus_Christ113 That would be cool as well

@@Dallin_S would've been even cooler if Ubisoft just gave us these things from the get go

[@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

[@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.

Glad that you found a new appreciation for the game! It is definitely one of the most vibrant entries to the series.

[@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

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.

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]

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.

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

[@godmodecheater153]

There is one essential technique for the side hop I just noted in Valhalla. I think it applies in the other games as well. If you side hop/ eject to grab on another ledge you actually need to move to that side but also DOWN and jump. Thats because the ledge is kinda „behind“ eivor. By just moving to the side eivor mostly starts to climbs faster and the grab point is on the wall. But moving to the side an down he jumps to the side and back to grab the ledge of another wall if you know what I mean. Also depending on the Situation it makes a difference if just move sideways or diagonal up or down. Its like really aiming with your left stick wich point you want to grab

[@Dallin_S]

I know what you mean, I think. Changing the inputted movement direction can definitely help in various contexts. That could be a little harder on M&K than on controller, but for the most part shouldn't be a huge issue.

@@Dallin_S i just tried a little bit and aiming diagonal down makes the side eject way more reliable. Worked every time while just aiming sideways often leads to fast climbing instead of doing a side eject

[@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.

Hey Dallin, do you mind if I use a tiny clip from this in a video I'm making about shadows movement? I just need to steal a clip of origins non contextual jump animation to make a comparison. I'll give you cred 😎

[@Dallin_S]

@@Ropotopolous Go for it Rop, you're more than welcome

[@Dallin_S]

🙂you can!

[@hasanalsarray5173]

Tbh this was the only rpg game that actually felt like an ac game, I would say valhalla but in valhallla you can't really Parkhurst from building to building that much before you run out of buildings (in most areas)

[@Dallin_S]

Yeah I totally see what you mean

[@alinpetrescu2309]

I know most of everything covered here applies to the other 2 rpgs but can you do one for Vahlalla too? I might be fun and who knows maybe you can discover something while specifically testing the mechanics. I subbed, great content; I've been looking for an Origins parkour guide for years, in the hope that people would find it fun as I do, although pretty basic compared to examples from previous titles.

[@Dallin_S]

We'll see if I can find anything unique about Valhalla worth mentioning. But I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@joshbuchanan8607]

One thing that people don't understand is that at the beginning of the brotherhood or the creed or the hidden one parkour

[@joshbuchanan8607]

Sorry my phone was acting up....what i meant to say was that parkour and climbing wasn't really a well known or done thing and didn't have much development at that point in the timeline technically speaking from a history stand point....

[@Dallin_S]

@@joshbuchanan8607 Yeah, this is definitely a fair point, at least one way to justify the degradation of pk mechanics in the games

[@itzmrinyy7484]

I've seen that just tapping parkour once doesn't eject off a tree, but rather I have to spam it a couple times for it to register, at the right timing of course.

[@Dallin_S]

Spamming is usually a safer bet, and it's definitely what I usually end up doing. The window for the timing is brutally small, so it makes it hard to judge a single tap.

[@albericoiannace9035]

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.

[@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

[@wwalton]

I've got a tiny addition when hanging of a surface that has a interior or if it curves inward you can the circle button to swing inward instead of just dropping down

[@Dallin_S]

Yes! Super cool detail

[@wwalton]

@@Dallin_S it does add slightly to the parkour system which is deeper then I thought it was

You can also skip going through windows, if you press left or right and up at the same time, while holding down the climb button.

[@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

[@rudeassasin2150]

About vaulting objects, in ac origins, have you ever noticed that is possible to vault some random objects in the game? Such as shields in restrict areas and haystacks in areas of fields? I think that is cool to do that in some especiffic moments

[@Dallin_S]

Yup! Yes there are a few types of objects where Bayek will vault, too bad it's not input determined though

[@thatsaweirdone]

This is awesome!!

[@Dallin_S]

Thanks!

[@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:)

[@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

[@Blaze3691]

9:35 I find it easier to just rapid tap the parkour up button instead of tapping at the right moment. Much more consistent too

[@Dallin_S]

That's good if it makes it more consistent! I've had trouble with both approaches but it's been a minute since I tried it

[@MasterNinjaXz]

Bro i just put 100 hours into the game and BEAT IT a few days ago. AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT TAPPING PARKOUR DOES SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM JUST HOLDING IT IN THIS VIDEO JUST NOW. Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. Ngl I had a ton of fun playing this game, but it didn't explain how to Parkour AT ALL and that made me sad. Also it didnt feel like as much of an Assassin's Creed game as I was hoping (I know this is a dated and common complaint) and I think part of that came from how it didnt rely on travel-by-foot the same way previous games did, and Parkour was a lacking element of that and it shows. IM SUPER GLAD YOU CAN EJECT IN THIS GAME AT LEAST CAUSE I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT UNTIL SEEING THIS VIDEO LMAO

[@Dallin_S]

Haha I'm glad if my video helped you enjoy the game more in some way!

[@luizfa17]

Wow this is great video , ac origins parkour looks amazing , by the way i clear that tomb yesterday , lol. does this technique work on odyssey and vallhalla?

[@Dallin_S]

As far as I know the techniques work virtually identically in the two following games. But as I believe someone else commented, Origins definitely has the most fun environments to do parkour in (I certainly feel this way). Especially the Egyptian housing districts!

[@shamanllama]

Manual vaulting was also in Unity!

[@Dallin_S]

It's in all the games AC3 and onward, except for Origins where it only works contextually.

[@hiddensynin]

If this is completely different in mirage please make a video on it

[@Dallin_S]

I'll definitely try!!

[@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.

[@umarmagezi1521]

Dope video please think about making a parkour video for marvel spider man PS4 And make a video about marvel spider man's acrobatic feats

[@Dallin_S]

I might do that! As far as I know the mechanics are for the most part explained pretty well in game, but I can think of a couple of less-known tricks I might include.
