Assassin's Creed Origins' Curse of The Pharaohs DLC is PURE INSANITY...

Assassin's Creed Origins' second expansion "The Curse of The Pharaohs" was released in early 2018, only a couple months after the Hidden Ones DLC. And it is pure insanity (but in the best way possible)...

Ima keep saying it, it’s an absolute *CRIME* that Bayek didn’t get a sequel. One of the best protagonists in the series

[@VinsmokeWanji]

“overrated asf in my opinion” How about a game about Eivor becoming an assassin after Valhalla 😅 with a proper ac design… would be so amazing. Eivor had a great voice actor who was limited by ubisofts braindead design team 😒

@@casgal2431 bayek is annoying. As is everyone in origins lmao. His WIFE washes him wtf you talking about 🤣 as a fan since ac1, I can confidently tell you eivor and Kassandra sadly beat every mf in the series in terms of strength obviously. If they were regular humans, then Altair followed by ezio, then Conner would be top 3

[@Kingofgondor4619]

I love this DLC, the only critique is that you can only explore four tombs while sixty-two tombs in the Valley of the Kings should be explored.

[@RodZombie]

One of my favourite side quests in this DLC is Follower or Leader. It's in Heb Sed, and the character Setna who wants to be a scribe instead of warrior like his father. One of the moments between Bayek and him is when Bayek says "But you don't want to defy him. Even if that means oblivion. Perhaps I could be your champion." and Setna replies "And what would that make me? A coward? A failure.." And Bayek tells him "Smart. Such trials are not the only thing that makes a man. I would teach my son this." It's another great example of showing that after all the years since Khemu's death, Bayek still has that fatherly side to him.

[@Zaied12]

I really enjoyed Curse of the Pharaohs, and it's probably my favorite of the supernatural/otherworldly Assassin's Creed expansions that we've gotten since AC3. You can see a lot of its influence in The Fate of Atlantis in Odyssey and much of Valhalla as well.

[@nightmareborder8776]

Am i the only one that wants a origins sequel so bad to see Bayak again as a aged mentor?

[@JSGaming0327]

Hahahaha bruhhh I know he’s really difficult but he’s not that hard playing on easy mode. Now on hard mode it’s really bad. They killed me in like 3 hits on hard mode lol. 😂😂😂😂💔💔💔💔

[@thh8985]

Played both Origins DLC's recently for the first time and it was a lot of fun. I'm not a huge fan of boss fights and so I needed some time to figure out how to beat them but at the end I managed it. "Curse of the Pharaohs" is pure fantasy, something I don't expect from an AC Game but the ancient Egypt setting is to fascinating to skip a second.

[@joshuaross3697]

The desynchronization at 4:56 look personal😂

[@BlazerK1914]

Ezio: “Glad I never exist in that time.” 0:02 Connor: “What in the world... is that?”

[@Dark2857]

Honestly I had the opposite experience with Tutankhamun, he was the only one I very nearly died on all the others I beat first try without a scratch, its all about reading their moves and waiting until they leave themselfs in a vulnerable state most notably after a combo much like Souls/Borne/Sekiro, but there was something about how Tutankhamun moved that I just could not get a handle on.

[@Blank-ish]

Exactly bro! I ended up just using “sobek’s tooth” and used overpower ability over and over again until I got him

[@Dark2857]

Yeah I remember using a sickle blade on my first playthrough I enjoyed the "berserking" playstyle the overpower granted its something I abused the crap out of when it came to the War Elephants. XD

[@krazyfinndude666]

Seeing a compliation of you dying to Ramsess made me also remember who fucking tough his fight was. He was by far the one that I struggled the most, everytime there was a pharaos shadow, I prayed it wasn't Ramsess, if it was, I was like "nope we skipping that" lmao. he was the true main boss lol

[@Sellout1738]

Thanks for making this video. I've been waiting for it since you released the Hidden Ones video.

[@Shrok7833]

[@smokeythebeast8288]

I was in the back of his military with this game came out 6or 7 years ago so I never got around to playing it until I downloaded it last week. I absolutely loved it and have been having a hell of a time. This is turning out to be one of my favorite games in the series

[@maordahanefrony]

I was really impressed with the montages in the last few videos i thought they were really well made

[@Blank-ish]

My exact setup was in the intro😂 (servant of Amun, Atems end, and mut’s sorrow)

[@PiercingEditz]

Now onto Assassin's Creed Odyssey and it's DLC's can't wait

[@kshitijrastogi1]

I've said this before & I'll say it again this game is GOAT!

[@lewisgreen5910]

I literally still play it all the time. The world, gameplay, music and Bayek is truly incredible

[@timotmon]

After the Hidden Ones I sort of peaked in this game and never played this DLC... I'm inspired now!

[@ayulk64]

4:23 Even though I played my first playthrough on easy difficulty these boss fights were very hard

[@daveyadict_]

I loved origins and I loved this dlc. I love the unique locations for the different gods. It was fun

[@user-ri4hg8hv9n]

Glad that im not the only feeling that the boss fights were really hard (even though I put it on normal) it still felt like im not even doing any dmg to the boss at all and I was like "Am I even doing dmg? I have maxed everything (except the ability's) and I still felt like im doing level 20 dmg"

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

I remember playing this DLC before playing The Hidden Ones DLC. Having new open worlds to explore in a DLC is great and this one went all out. I will say I like The Hidden Ones DLC more because of the narrative with continuing Bayek's character with further establishing the Hidden Ones plus his Hidden Ones outfit is awesome, but yeah this DLC had better open worlds and gameplay.

[@PrinceSushi_]

You mentioned that you had to use a cursed weapon, I personally love the cursed weapons, and try to always have one on me, I just like the extra damage and the challenge of less health

[@carloskreek7419]

I'm loving those green swords!

[@meclucas]

You mentioned that you are going to start again playing Odyssey, and now I have to subscribe to see what comes next. Personally I genuinely like Odyssey, for me it is one of the best open world games of its generation. I know that a lot of hardcore Assassin's Creed fans hate it, and I see the point that it is not really an AC game, and it should be obvious it is not, the Peloponnesian wars were fought 400 years before the events in AC Origins. What I think Ubisoft tried to do was to expand the AC universe, to consider other events in history that would be influenced by the Isu, and the whole "The gods were astronauts" concept, which would be great to see. The mistake from Ubisoft side was obviously in naming it Assassin's Creed, it should be just "Odyssey". The game has its flaws, mainly in trying to be too much epic, and sometimes being repetitive in some of the side quests. But still I really like it, I started playing it during the beginning of the COVID pandemic, and being able to just explore what felt like an infinite world was really all I needed at that point, if anything I would like that it would include more RPG elements, like consuming food items and having to rest (RDR2 style). A couple of things that make the experience better, you must play with Kassandra, she is the canon main character, no other way about it. Avoid grinding, this is not really needed to progress the game, do the side quests marked in Yellow in the area, but never go to the "Misthios Board", those are the boring and repetitive side items, the compensation is only a bit more resources and XP, and.... You don't really need XP, the auto levelling in the game makes that there is no real advantage to do any grinding. Through the main story and crafted side quests (Yellow Marked) you will level enough to achieve everything at the right moment. The fantasy elements in Odyssey is another great point, many AC fans don't like those and I heard more than one say that this is not "historically accurate", but guess what? The existence of a Creed of Assassins is also not historical... The fantasy is well explained in the game lore, you should not really seek these missions until you are assigned them. At this point a reasonable explanation of their meaning is given. There are also a couple of side quests that have you see the fantasy side from the point of view of normal people. I really hope you take your time and enjoy Odyssey.

[@jbcatz5]

We still get the modern day in Odyssey by having the first returning modern day protagonist since Desmond. Assassins racing Templars to an Isu macguffin is also nothing new for the series in the modern day or the Animus, and that’s a major plot beat in Odyssey’s Animus and modern day storylines (the Cult of Kosmos seeking control of the Leonidas bloodline, as well as the power Atlantis would give them). The modern day also brings in things from comics and novels, as well as having a modern day plot element to Fate of Atlantis including a boss fight against Otso Berg after he’s been built up over the story of the DLC.

[@ungodlybeast8436]

I've always seen this dlc as Undead nightmare but with mummies

[@SniperJoJo-fo9su]

I love this dlc because it’s a testament of your skill and strategy in origins

[@aarnavsrivastava8041]

I played this recently and really liked it. I still remember telling one of my friends in school, "I beat Akhenaten yesterday bro. And that too on Nightmare difficulty." Everybody else in the class was clueless. We had a good laugh about that!

[@khanghua966]

My tactic for the pharaohs are when they show up they gonna be locked in the animation for some time so the shotgun bow will do a trick And then use a rapid fire bow if my health depleted

[@windebiesteultima3317]

Also another cool thing about the dlc, you can boost any of your files (existing or new) to lv 40 instantly I believe and have lv appropriate gear. So if you hate the grindy aspect of the game, this is for you

[@tjr1438]

Love Bayek and this game. I ONLY wish it had more options for customization options like Odyssey and Valhalla when it comes to gear and skills.

[@mcw-lg2dm]

Hidden one dlc was phenomenal, I have curse of the Pharoahs as well but haven't finished it yet as it's more of a supernatural/fantasy, which isn't really my thing, but bayek as a character makes it worth it.

[@breadbutter5561]

Hey Master Assassin, why don't you rank the prologue of each AC game?

[@UncleMofo24]

ya know, I had the most trouble with Ramses but Tutankhamun also dragged me around several times before I beat him. Maybe it's skill? maybe it's weapon choice.

[@marianm2680]

This and Hidden ones were really good bang for your buck.... Specially getting it in sale. To me the final Boss was the toughest one for some reason, the rest was quite easy tho.

[@i.e.4427]

I genuinely thought that the curse of the pharaohs was supposed to take place before the hidden ones. It made sense to me at the time they came out

[@windebiesteultima3317]

That’s because a lot of people forgot or just didn’t know that the way years worked back then, was they’d count it backwards as each year passes instead of forwards.

[@albertlucas4780]

7:59 actually Curse of the Pharaohs takes place just before the Hidden Ones dlc! I know it’s pretty confusing since hidden ones came out before curse of the pharaohs did

[@mr.kwamid-86_43]

3:12 HEY!! LOL XD

[@vodkavecz]

The DLCs were really good for this game. I prefer this one, because I felt Hidden Ones too same to the base game in gameplay. Will you make videos about Legacy of the First Blade and Fate of Atlantis too, when you finished your new Odyssey review? Ps: Seeing all this freakout over SW Outlaws gold edition price, I think many people don't know what a Ubisoft Season Pass means, and how much extra content it will contain, that makes it worth the price. (I even think some people think it's a battle pass). If you're interested in that game, maybe it'd worth doing a video about that, to clear the air.

[@jibran6299]

This was a great dlc that went on for too long and was padded out with filler. My favorite part was the beautiful unique environments, the field of reeds and the Duat. I really liked how the Egyptian religion plays a big role in the dlc, since Bayek is a very religious person and it is important to his character.

[@Jermrants]

The amount of time I have spent in photo mode in the afterlife areas should be studied 😂 Some of the most visually stunning places Ubisoft has made just in general, idk But it feel ALOT more realistic in its mythology compared to Valhalla and Odyssey, in my opinion.

Also the missions in this DLC where Bayek would be helping a stranger with something and then they disappeared and it was Bayek talking to himself at the end, that was really crazy seeing that for the first time.

The apple of eden. It creates the shadows of the pharaohs that appear in the regumar world. And it creates the illusions of the afterlife. So basically, as soon as you enter the afterlife bayek falls asleep and enters the illusion. I don't remember all the details so there might be a bit more to this, but that's the most of it

[@Kinosho_Kawakami]

man, you people don't understand what the DLC was going for. it's not real, you get that, right? just like it's not real that everything the Egyptians believed in existed. this DLC is what represents their beliefs. Bayek isn't really travelling the afterlives, he believes he is because he couldn't explain it any other way and that's what we're seeing, an exaggeration of what he thinks is real but isn't. like when people thought ones with epilepsy were possessed by demons. the same thing happened with Valhalla. what Isu really looked like versus how the Vikings perceived them and we in game are seeing what the Vikings believed was happening in front of their eyes. that's why you can have mystical things in games because of what people thought was real which actually isn't and can enjoy something that otherwise wouldn't be possible in an AC game set in any other period.

[@Hoppelite]

I hated this DLC honestly. I love Origins and I love the Hidden one DLC but I could not finish Curse of the Pharaohs for the life of me. Once the whole gods and divine realm shit started I completely lost interest. Assassins Creed with fantasy elements at the front stage doesn’t vibe with me. I’m cool with some sci-fi like in the older games but the new trilogy sci-fi is just too much for me personally

[@fakjbf3129]

I liked the DLC in isolation, but yeah this was when the series really jumped the shark into complete lunacy. A lot of people say that Origins is where AC changed as it was the first RPG style game, but it was really this DLC in particular that changed the games into what they are now. Though I guess technically the Tyranny of King Washington DLC did it first, but at least that was handwaved away as being purely simulation made by the Apple.

[@TheFirstCurse1]

I'm the complete opposite. The series has always had sci-fi fantasy roots and they're now fully embracing it. The best parts of Origins and Odyssey were the mythological elements and enemies. Hell my favorite part of Odyssey was when I played through the Fate Of Atlantis DLCs.

[@Hoppelite]

@@fakjbf3129 tyranny of king Washington was cool because it was like you said a simulation, and also it was so outlandish for the series that it stuck out. Now those fantasy elements are baked into the new games, so they aren’t as special when they show up.

[@fakjbf3129]

@@Hoppelite I like having the outlandish parts as DLC. Going through the Egyptian, Greek and Norse mythology and afterlifes is really cool and I hope they continue doing so. But as you said it’s the fact that they are putting these elements in the base game that is my main contention. Keep the base game mostly realistic with a bit of sci-fantasy flavor and save the crazy stuff for DLCs.
