10 Insane Details In Assassin’s Creed

[@gedemartha9534]

Adam and Eve theory is crazy, holy moly.

[@NeoDagianGOT]

I also just realised that Arno and Elise's names also start with the same letters as Adam and Eve

[@ivanoliveira9551]

Especially interesting knowing that the entire AC lore, has Adam and Eve has part of the First Civilization's human slaves, who then stole an Apple of Eden and ran away using its power in order to start the rebellion that eventually set humanity free.

[@MeadowBear99]

When you arrive to Alexandria for the first time in AC Origins, you can find Aya's home. There, you will find the murdered victims of the 2 members of the Order of the Ancients that she killed (Actaeon and Ktesos), along with an Order member mask on the floor. You have to go to the house before you meet Aya, I think, as if you go after, it won't be there. I could be wrong on the timing, but I know for certain that it does disappear after a certain point. It's a really cool detail that I don't think most see - I never did on my first play through, only later ones.

[@jbcatz5]

A few from Origins: 1) If you visit the cave that Layla has set her self up in while playing as Bayek through the Animus he’ll talk about himself and Aya 2) In the lake north east of Letopolis there’s a stone TARDIS from Doctor Who 3) One of the messages in the Isu buildings suggests Layla’s Animus can actually affect events and not just relive them, foreshadowing how Odyssey introduces branching dialogue trees and storylines. From Odyssey: The lead up to the Fate of Atlantis DLC involves Alexios/Kassandra going to specific tombs, where the gameplay shifts to Layla exploring the tombs looking for a specific symbol. If you’ve already gone through them as Alexios/Kassandra then any damage you’ve done or chests opened will be reflected in Layla’s visit. Both the first and third chapters could be foreshadowing plot twists in Valhalla, the Fields of Elysium where Persephone and Hecate try to influence Alexios/Kassandra like how Juno and Minerva are with Desmond, and the appearance of Juno and Aita in Judgment of Atlantis hinting that storylines may be repeating especially since we see an Assassin fall under the influence of a Piece of Eden to unintentionally kill an ally (and another Isu and Isu Sage relationship where resurrection is the goal, sacrificing someone to The Grey).

[@drakon9958]

Ezio didnt discover the Colosseum vault in brotherhood randomly. If you read the letters you collect when completing lairs of romulus it actually becomes an account of Brutus encountering the vault and meeting the Isu, he is also the one who told Ezio how to open and close it.

[@natestadler2352]

Also the Romulus Lair underneath the colosseum takes Ezio to the chamber with the door that you later see Desmond open with the 72 password

[@AndrewMitchell123]

Thats a cool little detail right there... thanks for reminding me, played AC2 and Brotherhood ages ago and completely forgot about the Brutus diary you could read through in those lairs

[@drakon9958]

@@AndrewMitchell123 yea its been a while for me too, but it seems ur not alone, even ubisoft forgot about this...I was looking forward to brutus wearing this armor in ac origins, but clearly ubisoft forgot

[@AndrewMitchell123]

@@drakon9958 yeah, thats not surprising... they had fallen a lot since AC2 days

[@drakon9958]

@@AndrewMitchell123 I wouldnt say they have fallen because tbh the games arent half bad, but putting that aside, I hate that they no longer reference previous games in newer games...it kind of used to give it a sense of continuity and one-ness

[@SwedishEmpire160]

Hello, i'm a fan and i think you're really underrated, AC youtubers in general are underrated it's like the franchise is unpopular on the platform. And you are one of the most underrated.

[@skittles.1507]

Yea i completely agree hes easily ine of my favourite youtubers in general honestly just the effort he puts into his videos is crazy

[@aamarhr]

very in depth videos, alot of hard work put in.

U deserve a like from him lol

[@SwedishEmpire160]

@@aamarhr I agree

[@SwedishEmpire160]

@@skittles.1507 I wanna say something except ”i agree” because then i’d be boring lol

[@josh.0220]

Another cool detail similar to the Leave Her Johnny one, when you’re exploring the Kenway mansion you need to play a tune on the piano to open a secret passage. The tune you play is Lowlands Away from AC 4

[@DW8]

There's a note in a little house in Valhalla that will show you a list of the Horcuxes in Harry Potter. I have a screenshot, but I don't remember where the house is.

[@jbcatz5]

It’s in Lunden, guarded by snakes.

[@goscodfilmow]

Worth mentioning are references to character of "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred from works of H.P. Lovecraft to be found in AC: Mirage. One book that Basim can find in the ruins of Seleucia is nothing other than Necronomicon itself.

[@irnassassin]

Adam and Eve. Arno and Elise. A and E. Seems like a fun nod but probably not connected to the other Adam and Eve stuff in the series

[@MxEuphemia]

In Valhalla, if you go into the tattooist's hut you can find a note detailing ideas for new tattoo designs. One of them is "A dragon, breathing fire, with the wings of a bat and arms of a man" and then "Note also: The dragon's arms are very muscular" this is a reference to Trogdor the Burninator

[@bristleback3614]

There's interesting historical fact about AC3 ship Aquilla. During American revolutionary war every British captain is told to not have any direct combat against American frigate ship (Aquilla is frigate) since they're are much powerful than average British ship. This historical story actually present in AC3 since Aquilla is always superior against every ship in the game

[@denizkenger52]

In AC Odyssey as well there was a really similar looking place to where T'challa fought M'baku and then later against killmonger for who becomes Black Panther. There's even two people fighting there when you come and people are watching.

[@togepipi]

Altaïr is the only protagonist to form a fist while the hidden blade is active since he has a missing ring finger

[@iv9496]

One thing I really like about valhalla is that the game is PACKED with Easter eggs. There is a Bloodborne reference in valhalla. There is a cassette with a label "Fear the old blood" and the hunters mark.

[@padilla2828]

10:09 that sounds like Nils Brown! He also did work on the shanties in AC3, 4, and Rogue and is friends with Sean Dagher, the one who sang the lead part of Leave Her Johnny in AC4

[@Mulbert]

I absolutely LOVE the Black Flag and Rogue shanties, I still listen to them all the time! What a legend

[@kdoesgaming5039]

I always love learning new things about a game I’ve been playing for so long, cool vid man!

[@ulfberht4431]

I’ve a theory about the identity of the entity. It could possibly be the spirit or ghost of Ymir. I know it’s a bit of a stretch and the antlers do suggest otherwise but considering its size, demeanour and spooky presence, it might very well be the ghost of Ymir haunting Odin/Havi all those centuries ago.

[@balazshajdu4612]

Love the Adam and Eve comparison for Unity prologue scene! great spots, I remember Valhalla's Honey mission, but missed the Winnie the Pooh reference! Thanks for sharing, and if you have more, looking forward to seeing them! Great job, and excellent video!

[@denizkenger52]

In black flag, there's a ship called The Hollander and Holland = Dutch so it could be referencing the flying dutchman from pirates of the caribbean. And in Dutch, the flying dutchman is De Vliegende Hollander so it seems the ship we help as an ally in AC Black Flag is the dutchman which seems to be a reference to the flying dutchman that Davy Jones captained in Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@denizkenger52]

oooh and in ac bf, there's that cheat that turns your crew into skeletons which may be a nod to potc 1 where Barbossa and his crew are cursed to turn into skeletons at night.

[@Heizlod]

In Valhalla, while in Lunden, you find the mysterious list. A nod to Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter.

[@ferencszekely9867]

5:27 you can actually k!ll the animals wich i did. And the girl would yell "noo, you just k!lles all my friends"

[@Frostiemango10]

8:10 it is also a reference to humanity rostored

[@Niriss]

11:31 the example from Black Flag is something that actually happens irl just way deeper down in the ocean

[@vxrspielterr9255]

waited so long for something like this thank u a lot:D

[@homelytwo5901]

Bro I've played Unity so many times I never even knew that there was cakes to collect around the world nice.

[@NotRJ001]

The Valhalla entinty is actually a spirit that protects the Woodlands of Norse Mythology, it's basically like Swamp Thing from DC Comics that protects the swamp and all wooded areas across Earth.

[@denizkenger52]

so if we attack the trees...

[@Manhunt2299]

also in syndicate you can sometimes find a guy singing heres a health to the company and blow the candles out which might is probably a reference to black flag

[@gourdguru]

12:55 *"is this a valid comparison to make(to adam and eve)"* considering the secret video file of adam and eve stealing the apple of eden from the precursor people/Isu in AC2, i think you're right on the money. always wished they continued that story hook, in the early games they loved tying into famous conspiracies, and i was expecting that Adam and Eve video to lead to a sort of "Origin" story game set in babylon/sumeria and talking about the annunaki gods, IE the Isu. in the mesopotamian creation myth, Enki/Ea creates us to be servants, but can't get it right til he adds the dna of all the other gods, which the other gods are not too keen on but agree, so long as we don't have the potential for immortality or enlightenment. when it's made known that we DO have at least one of those, the other gods are not pleased about it, and eventually the god Enlil causes the Flood/Deluge (the babylonian version of the Noah myth from the bible) in order to try and destroy us because we are "Annoying and noisy". Enki warns a human man and tells him to build a boat to survive, just like the biblical version. considering the later additions to the lore about "Sages" with Isu DNA and stuff like that, i was expecting Ubisoft to circle back to that concept, but they never did. this easter egg was neat, but also sort of felt like salt in the wound to me, teasing something they hinted at earlier and know they haven't and do not intend to give us a conclusion to. now that they did AC:Origins and went in a different direction, that story hook is no longer convenient and sort of just a loose end, an ugly hangnail on the series. i think they did this intentionally, so as not to alienate the judeo-christian demographic or create a scandal by hitting that core mythos. sad, really, that idea had a lot of potential.

[@aem_khafashi]

In AC Valhalla, there is a Side Quest referring to Robin Hood in…. (You guessed it) Nottinghamshire

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

In Dawn of Ragnarok DLC from Valhalla there is a world event called Hyrrokin's Gift that is a nod to Lord of the Rings where you help a dwarf name Frodri get rid of a ring that he claims is bringing him bad luck. There is also the world event in the Valhalla base game called Alisa in Wunderlandscire that is referring to Alice in Wonderland. Lastly, with The Last Leaf of Fall world event you can find Mae's father in Lincoln with a note.

[@natethenug6429]

Not sure how well known this is, but the 3 witches you fight in for the sword keys in AC Valhalla are named after 3 princesses in Shakespeare's King Lear play. Reagan, Gonril, and Cordelia

[@denizkenger52]

there's the one in AC Valhalla where the dude asks you to get the arm ring I think out of the river, he is very reminiscent of Gollum.

[@flowerh5018]

If you dont catch the kids friends calling him Hytham, im pretty sure the subtitles called him Young Eagle, which is the name translation for Haytham, Connors dad. and i think i saw a theory that kenway named his kid after one of the most prominent assassins in england history, right at the turn of hidden ones to assassins, Hytham.

[@Sidian98]

3:12 it also reminds of that shadow monster on Skellige from Witcher 3, where you have to put a baby in the oven

[@opticgoku2611]

Just played that quest yesterday and your absolutly right it does look like that thing

[@TheTemplarsCreed]

Fantastic video. I seriously love how you are discovering new details in this amazing franchise.

[@christianburnett236]

That creature does look kind of creepy I have never saw that antler shadow entity, unsettling is Odin doesn't seem to worry about the creature.

[@ASH-zx1jd]

Edward putting on Duncon's outfit in AC4 BF is similar to Ezio putting on his father's outfit in AC2.

[@ViralHumourHub]

Wow, I’m a big ac fan and was surprised at how I didn’t know about any of these. Well done for shining new light on our old favourite games 👏

[@francisnowak11]

Adam and Eve comparison is very apt

[@robertheasley962]

I like how rogue sorta ends with you killing dorian and unity starts with arno's POV of the same mission

[@Genyuine]

Im 99% sure young hythem does indeed take the jump, i remember a line from basim asking if he was okay or whatever Also just how adam chose to follow eve andcaused a spring of consequences Arno chose to follow elise and in the split second where his father was looking for him distracted his father long enough for shay to kill him, just like if adam didnt go with eve bad things mostly wouldn't have happened, if arno chose to stay in his seat and wait for his father, shay probably wouldn't have had a chance, as i dont believe shay would've willingly kill his father infront of him

[@Dani-ix5bu]

I like the Over the Garden Wall theory, but to me it looked like a silhouette of Hela, which I think makes sense since Odin is trying to escape death, but he’s having trouble escaping her

[@lemonpebble]

There's a reference to The Prodigy in some ruins in AC:V where encounter some band playing

[@Mulbert]

"Smack my bishop" 😅

[@nimaba348]

awesomeeee!!!! make it a series and compare the soundtracks

[@SG9_]

Its blows my mind that according to AC Rogue document, Achilles and Adewale were under the leadership of Ah Tabai

[@brianclark7032]

Might as well say it... but when you do the soundtracks/Music/Main theme video(es) don't forget Chronicles, Liberation, Freedom Cry... they have music (not much but show some love for the smaller AC games)

[@SS_sin]

4:42 ayooo😂

[@maxowy9039]

The comparison is valid

[@afibuffygirl]

As for "the entity" , as soon as i saw it in this video it made me think of the tv show called "yellow jackets" which the story of the show is a high-school soccer team was on an airplane traveling for a game when the plane crashes and the girl soccer team is stranded. One of the girls talks about "the spirit" who she says demands basically a sacrifice so they can all live. One of the memebers dies from an accident which the spirit is satisfied with and the girls all end up eating their friend. Over time as they eat more and more of their friends, they act less human to basically cope with what they are doing and they all start to dress oddly. The leader (chick who "hears" the entity) wears like a metal vale over her face with big antlers (resembles your entity in this video). During the show before they end up killing for the first time there are antler symbols everywhere, a dead stag etc. It sounds like the entity u described that influences people to become cannibals and or supports it. The girls all end up being rescued and the story goes back and forth of the girls as adults and how they are trying to forget the things they did to survive and flash backs to them as teenagers and being stranded. Fantastic show

[@MrHeadcrab13]

The giant squid if that was the Kraken then it’d need to be in Valhalla because the kraken is a Norse mythical creature so why would it be in any other game except for Valhalla and tbh it isn’t even in Valhalla nether is the Midgard serpent I feel those are the only things that Ubisoft should’ve put in Valhalla and the kraken doesn’t have to be in the Asgard sections they could just put it in the ocean near east anglia
