number 10 mount tayegos assassin's creed
odyssey
as human ecu hybrids descendant from the
great spartan king leonidas
cassandra and alexios are more powerful
than the average person
but that doesn't quite explain how they
survived being thrown off the top of
mount tallegos as children
mount taegos is over 7 800 feet tall
this is over six times taller than the
empire state building
it's completely impossible that leonidas
himself would survive this let alone a
small child and an infant
in fact the very reason they were at the
top of the mountain was so that nikolaus
would throw his supposedly cursed child
from the peak and kill them
he does just that and they miraculously
survive
the official assassin's creed twitter
account simply blamed video game logic
for the feat
the wolf who wants nikolas of sparta
dead
nicholas sparta number nine british
accents
i charge you to go to notre dame de
perry and to find there the templar
agent
charles gabriele sivere while the
original assassin's creed portrayed its
middle eastern characters with american
accents
later games changed this so characters
speak english but with a very clear
accent from their native country
even al tayer was reworked with the
correct accent for his revelations
flashbacks
however despite ubisoft being a french
company and unity being developed by
french canadians with a cast of many
french canadian voice actors
none of the characters had french
accents instead they were all british
he was working with a man called le
roidetsun the king of beggars
are you sure you know him of him the
beggars pay him tribute
the man himself is a ghost the game's
creative director alex amancio explained
that the animus is translating and the
immersion would be broken if they were
to have french accents
nevertheless players have said it's more
immersive to play the game with entirely
french audio
and the trend of having actors speak
english with an accent has continued in
all subsequent titles
you might no longer think to ask
questions or he might accomplish a great
deal more
unburdened by ignorance
number eight natural assassins
these are games about a brotherhood of
assassins who go through robust and
brutal training to make them expert
fighters and free runners
so why is it that so many of our main
characters have already mastered these
skills prior to donning the white robe
[Music]
kenway while not being an assassin for
most of the game would at least be able
to fight and climb
thanks to his time on the high seas but
ezio and his brothers are already
experts at parkour when the game
starts with very little training
required for ezio to make the leap from
scrappy teenager to master assassin
aside from that one late game jump
upgrade
and here he is our campione ezio
see you wasting no time starting the
celebration number seven
eagle vision
it's now an established cliche in most
open world games that your character
will have an ability to highlight
important objects people
and maybe track animals if that's a
mechanic assassin's creed's version of
this
is eagle vision the superpower that
handily turns all your enemies red
but the explanation for what eagle
vision actually is is inconsistent
in both title and ability you should
know better than to question me
it's initially explained as just being a
helping hand from the animus but
eventually morphs into being an ability
handed down through generations of
assassins
which desmond manages to access thanks
to the bleeding effect
is it an innate power of the human ecu
hybrids is it just the animus giving you
an hud
can bayek and cassandra telepathically
communicate with their birds
we may never know for sure
number six lucy assassin's creed
brotherhood
no who could forget the insane
cliffhanger brotherhood left us on where
desmond is manipulated into stabbing
kristen bell
lucy was originally vidic's assistant
who reveals herself to be an assassin
double agent in the second game
but then she's revealed to be a triple
agent who was working for the templars
all along
or was she lucy this is where your
background comes into play
if our experiments with desmond and the
animus aren't going well
you will remove him from abstergo we're
supposed to assume that she was a
traitor based on what happened
but the explanation that she was a
templar comes not in a main game but in
a dlc for revelations
on top of that it was buried in a
collectible you could have easily missed
even if you did play lost archive
players deserved better than this and
it's not surprising many want to believe
lucy was loyal to the last i promise
i'll answer all of your questions
later but right now i need you to just
shut up and do what i say
so please get in the animus all right
number five connor in rogue assassin's
creed rogue
uphold the principles of our order and
all that for which we stand
in a lot of ways assassin's creed rogue
was made to tie in more closely to unity
than the previous games it shared a
setting with
we discover shay cormuch is the man who
killed arno's father charles dorian
after
all but it's charles who puts a spanner
in the continuity by saying that conor
has been undoing all of shae's work for
the templars in the american colonies
oh conor and his assassins the american
revolution
undid your templar business however
charles dorian dies in 1776
only part of the way through the events
of assassin's creed 3.
in fact conor was most likely locked up
in bridewell prison at this point in
time
and still had years left to help the
american revolutionaries and get rid of
templar influence in the colonies
thank you mason for everything i will
find a way to repay the favor when my
work here is finished
number four the movies apple of eden
assassin's creed
[Music]
video game movies are almost always
terrible
and even the good ones like sonic the
hedgehog or 2018's tomb raider are still
far below the standard set for movies
that aren't based on games
so it was no surprise when the
assassin's creed movie turned out to be
a complete flop
even if it was led by michael fassbender
and how does that make you feel
i'm not killing him it turns out that
it's not just
difficult to cram a dozen games worth of
lore into 90 minutes it's impossible
which leads to numerous contradictions
with the established ac
cannon the most egregious issue is that
there's now only one apple of eden
as opposed to the hundreds of issue
artifacts we know exist in the game
world
number three adam and eve
[Music]
in the beginning it seemed like the
modern day storyline would actually go
somewhere
while there was some semblance of
continuity from the first game to the
end of the ezio trilogy
that was quietly abandoned and with it
the interesting adam and eve origination
myth
we were led to believe that adam and eve
were the original assassins who rebelled
against tyranny and presumably founded
the brotherhood
however by the end of origins we know
that's not true
i have renounced aya i have killed
aya i am now the hidden one known
as amunet
human issue hybrids are still important
kind of and powerful
but bayek and aya were the true first
assassins
adam and eve haven't been mentioned in
the lore for years
we must move forward remain in our
tempest of blood poetry
despite it all we dance and they die
number two the father of understanding
the blood is for the cause
not the boy make your sacrifice
sorry what do the templars believe in
though their odyssey precursors the cult
of cosmos seem to believe in some kind
of divine being
hints that there's a religious element
to the templar order aside from the
real-life knights templars being staunch
catholics
existed before this may the father of
understanding guide you
may the father guide you namely through
their invocation of the father of
understanding initially believed to be
some kind of templar deity
however in origins were given a clear
answer the father of understanding was
in fact
julius caesar despite the fact that he
was being manipulated by the order of
the ancients
so they were worshiping their own stooge
for thousands of years
caesar is the father of understanding
you and caesar will die

number one the templars plan assassin's
creed
what if i told you that the human body
not only housed an
individual's memory but the memories of
his ancestors
as well most of the time the templar
order is simply evil for the sake of
being evil
seeking ultimate power and control in
contrast to the assassin's dedication to
free will
and even at the beginning their
motivations were bare bones to say the
least
their entire plan in the first few games
is to find the apple of eden through
altair's memories and then put it on a
satellite to mind control the entire
world
destroy it destroy it as you said you
would
i i can't yes
they do this to end all wars and awaken
in humans what should have been hours
from the moment of our creation
according to in-game files from
revelations but this storyline is a
casualty of the franchise's many
villains
there are simply so many villains in so
many different eras that the templar's
overall motivation
is practically non-existent the remnants
of the assassin order are scattered
across the globe
the time has come to end this fight
and you will be on the front lines if
you want to know why we chose our number
