    Ezio was secretly a Borgia guard.

    When you renovate La Volpe Addormentata for the thieves and La Volpe gives you the tour, he mentions that the inn has gambling. He also says it's a great source of income considering they make sure the Borgia guards always lose. Since I lose every single time I roll the dice, that must mean Ezio is in fact a Borgia guard. My luck can't be that bad, can it?

    [SPOILERS] Possible Story for an AC game set during the American Civil War

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 04:22 PM PST

    Assassin's Creed: Civil War

    The story for this game would take place between 1856 and 1865, following a black slave-turned-Assassin named Jonah Davis as he helps turn the tide of the American Civil War towards the Assassins. By assassinating key Templar-Confederate generals, participating in major battles, and uncovering Pieces of Eden and a Precursor Vault, Jonah is the key to all the events occurring in both 1865 and 2021...

    ​

    Backstory

    The main character, named Jonah Davis, will be a black man born in 1840 to slavery in Georgia. For the first sixteen years of his life he was a typical slave, being regularly beat and underfed. He and his mother would pick cotton for 17 hours a day, while his father would go mining, which was something very unusual for a slave at the time. Sometimes Jonah would experience weird visions (eagle vision) that he could not understand. After the enduring work, he and his father would secretly go out a mile or two from the plantation to practice parkour and fighting with blades (swords, knives, axes etc.) and even allowed him to use pistol at the age of fifteen, although he had to be extra careful with it. By the age of sixteen, Jonah was a master of parkour and a capable fighter.

    ​

    Sequence 1 (14-15 June 1856) : First Act

    One day his father came back late with a small piece of parchment with nothing on it. The master was furious and Jonah sees him whip his father to death.

    In the cover of the night, Jonah sneaks into the master's house and grabs the piece of paper. He sneaks back to his slave quarter, barely missing the overseer's patrol, who senses something wrong. He manages to get back to his bed just before the overseer came over and ordered every slave in the plantation to wake up for a search. The main character hid the parchment in a barely-noticeable crack behind his bed.

    The overseer did a fierce search, turning over beds and whipping the slaves left and right. Luckily, Jonah and his mother were cleared, and he used eagle vision on the parchment to see a large symbol he had never seen before (the symbol for the Assassins) and an address fifty miles away. His mother could also do eagle vision, and after she read the parchment, she ordered him to go to that address. As it was still night, Jonah snuck out of the quarters to the stable, where he stole a horse and rode out into the countryside. By this point, only a small portion of the map would be accessible (eastern Georgia).

    ​

    Jonah escaping the plantation.

    It was dawn by the time he had arrived at the address. After knocking on the door, he met a white countryman by the name of Oringe Smith Crary. Upon giving him the parchment, he nodded and took Jonah down to his basement. On the wall he had a large map of the east coast of the United States, and a large image the main character had seen on the parchment (the Assassin symbol). Crary told Jonah that he was a Master Assassin of the newly-renamed American Brotherhood, who the Assassins were, and a brief summary of the Assassin-Templar conflict in the Americas. Crary pointed at the symbol of the Assassins on the wall and asked Jonah if he had seen that on the parchment. Jonah said yes and Crary told him what Eagle Vision was. Crary had, in fact, been in touch with the main character's father, but he refrained from telling too much.

    Crary also told Jonah about the Underground Railroad, and that he would be personally accompanying him to New York City to meet the Mentor of the American Brotherhood, William H. Seward. While they had just left by a horse-driven carriage, the overseer and a couple of his assistants, all on horseback, had caught up to them. Crary hastily gave Jonah a musket, and as Crary tried to outpace the overseer, Jonah managed to shoot and kill the overseer's assistants. The overseer had caught up to Crary and Jonah enough for him to be in arm's reach - which caused Crary to assassinate him with his hidden blade.

    ​

    Sequence 2 (15 June 1856 - 21 February 1858)

    Crary and Jonah arrived in Savannah 8 hours later. Just as they were about the reach the newly-constructed train station, they were ambushed by several Templar agents. This is the first time in the game where Jonah would be allowed to use melee combat, this time with just a knife. After killing the Templar agents, they had to quickly make their way onto the train.

    Four days later, after passing through DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia, Crary and Jonah finally reached New York City. Jonah would be able to climb the pre-skyscraper New York City (although there would be no famous landmarks like Grand Central, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building). At this time Assassin headquarters in New York was located underground Liberty Island. Jonah was introduced to Seward, and after learning about his already assassin-like capabilities, he was granted the Hidden Blade, given Assassin robes and inducted into the Assassin Brotherhood. His robes would be similar to Arno's robes, but in a stylish black colour. After this, the entire map would be open to the player.

    He was trained by a much younger David B. Birney for the next two years, and grew close with him. On one of his first missions, Jonah was sent to Philadelphia to assassinate a major threat to Assassin control in the city, John Kane, in the Independence Hall, the exact place where Connor and the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence 85 years previously. In the Memory Corridor, John Kane laughed at Jonah and gave him a mysterious illuminating disc. He also warned of an impending event that will affect people "like him". The assassination was successful, but he managed to catch the attention of every Templar in Philadelphia, as he was their leader. As wave after wave of undercover Templars attacked him, he barely managed to escape the city.

    Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pennyslvania

    ​

    Sequence 3 (10 April - 13 June 1861) : Uncovering the Order

    On 10th April 1861, Jonah and Birney were sent to Fort Sumter to uncover the Templar secession conspiracy. On the way, they infiltrated a camp and eavesdropped on PGT Beauregard planning an attack on the fort with several other US officers. They hurriedly travelled to Fort Sumter, and alerted the commander there, Robert Anderson), of Beauregard's impending attack. Anderson laughed at them before shooing them away.

    On 12th April, Jonah woke up to cannonfire. Looking through the window, he saw thousands of now-called Confederate soldiers surrounding the fort. Jonah woke up Birney. They snuck out the fort into the battle, killing several Confederate soldiers on the way. They had to stop the assault. After becoming anonymous once again, Jonah assassinated a Confederate officer in a tent and looted him. He was in fact a Templar agent, holding a letter informing of a Templar named Richard Lawrence) in talks with Jefferson Davis in the city hall in Montgomery, Alabama.

    Leaving Birney to protect the soldiers within Fort Sumter, Jonah rides to Montgomery. He headed for the town hall, but no-one was there. He spent the next 2 months finding for Lawrence's whereabouts. On 12th June he received a letter from Birney, which said Lawrence was in the Alabama State Capitol - the entire area was restricted. This would be the first Syndicate-style "blackbox" assassination in the game. Several ways Jonah could have assassinated Lawrence include:

    • Assassinate a guard and put on his outfit. (As Jonah is a black fugitive in the South, he could still be detected if a guard is close). Hide in a closet next to the meeting room. As Lawrence walks past, assassinate him.
    • Bribe a cleaner to open the meeting room's window. As Lawrence relaxes in the breeze by the window sill, ledge assassinate him.
    • Use social stealth to hide in the crowd when Jefferson and Lawrence's speech begins. As Lawrence goes down stage, blend assassinate him.
    • Find a diagram displaying areas of the Capitol vulnerable to attack, one of which being on the roof directly above the meeting room. Use Jonah's Hidden Blade to cut 3 sides of the weak area. When Lawrence is directly below, open the trapdoor and air assassinate him.
    • Bribe an agent to tell Lawrence the meeting room had been relocated to the dome of the building. Hide behind the door as he comes in and cover assassinate him.
    • Poison Lawrence's drink backstage without giving away any attention.

    In the Memory Corridor, Lawrence told him of his attempted assassination of Andrew Jackson 25 years prior, and how he recently escaped from a mental asylum with the help of dozens of Templar guards. He told Jonah the entire Confederacy would be after him with his death, and that the Grand Master especially would be furious and would want to extract revenge. He tells him he respects Jonah for succeeding in an assassination; because of this he tells him a Templar general was going to attack Washington D.C. next month.

    The Alabama State Capitol, the location of the first blackbox assassination in the game.

    ​

    Sequence 4 (16 - 21 July 1861) : Battle of First Manassas

    At the Alabama River, Jonah blended his way onto a ship headed for Norfolk, Virginia. He reached the city on 16th July and hurriedly rode to New York to report to Seward. Seward informed him Birney had joined the Union Army to uncover possible Templar plots with the army, and ordered Jonah to head to Washington D.C. to warn President Abraham Lincoln of the attack.

    Jonah travelled to Washington D.C. and arrived there on the 19th. He infiltrated the White House and went into Lincoln's office to see him talking to a number of Union generals including Winfield Scott, Irvin McDowell and Robert Patterson. Abruptly interrupting their meeting, he told Lincoln the Confederates were planning to attack the city very soon. Lincoln did not need an explanation and ordered his generals to defend D.C. Lincoln offered Jonah a reward if his sources were true, and told him he had in fact been in touch with the Assassins. Lincoln gave Jonah a memo from one of his spies in the South which talked about Francis Bartow talking to Thomas Jackson about a black man assassinating "one of the followers of Understanding" in the Alabama State Capitol. Jonah knew immediately Bartow and Jackson were Templars in this conspiracy to secede from the Union.

    On 21st July, Jonah woke up to see news of a large Confederate army attacking the Union army just south of D.C. He rode to the battlefield and flanked the Confederate army, using Eagle Vision to locate Bartow. After successfully finding him, he killed a Confederate soldier, put on his outfit, got close to Bartow and blend assassinated him. In the Memory Corridor, Bartow told him he could not escape the battle, and that he would either be captured or dead by night. He told him Jackson wouldn't be happy at all, and that the Grand Master was searching for him.

    Killing Confederate soldiers left and right, he managed to make his way to Thomas Jackson. He stabbed him in the shoulder with his Hidden Blade, but Jackson punched him hard in the face, causing him to fall onto the ground. Jackson laughed at him while the soldiers around him called him "Stonewall Jackson". Stonewall Jackson picked him up again and punched him, knocking Jonah out.

    Battle of First Manassas

    ​

    Sequence 5 (25 July 1861 - 15 September 1862) : Re-Enslaved

    Jonah woke up four days later at a place named Port Royal in northern Virginia. He was in chains, sported a black eye and wore slave clothes. He was kneeling on open grass before Stonewall Jackson and 2 Templar guards. Stonewall Jackson told him the Confederates had won, and that the Templars were ever closer to capturing Lincoln. Stonewall Jackson held out the disc Jonah had gotten off John Kane. He told Jonah Kane had gone rogue and thanked him for getting the disc back in Templar hands. He also told him there were 4 discs scattered around the East Coast that could open a Precursor Vault directly underneath them - the Templars currently had 1. Jonah was taken by Stonewall Jackson to the door of the Precursor Vault which had 4 slits inside. He put the disc into one of the slits. After doing so, Stonewall Jackson ordered the Templar guards to whip him into unconsciousness, and told Jonah he was going back to his old plantation in Georgia.

    Two months later, Jonah arrived back at his plantation. He was met by his irate master, who welcomed him with 25 whips for escaping. He also two more surprises ready for him. The master was in fact a Templar named Adam Tyler. He took Jonah to a large tree to see his mother with a noose around her neck that had been tied to it. One of the plantation guards lifted her up - she was suffocating. Tyler took out a pistol and, smiling at Jonah, shot his mother in his face, killing her instantly. Jonah screamed, trying to kill Tyler, but he was given another 30 whips.

    ​

    The master's house in a slave plantation

    For the next year, Jonah was forced to work again as a slave. He was assigned to mine the cave his father once mined in. In September 1962, Jonah found an illuminating disc embedded within the rock - so this is what they were looking for! Tyler was right behind him watching him mine. Tyler snatched the disc of Jonah before he could do anything, thanked him, and sent off the disc to Port Royal.

    Jonah had had enough. Pretending to go to drink water, he sneaked into the master's manor and knocked out the guard. He took his uniform, went into the master's office and got his Hidden Blade and Assassin outfit back. Tyler was walking back into his office. Jonah cover assassinated him. In the Memory Corridor, Tyler had a whip in his hand and tried to use it Jonah, but it went through him. Jonah beat him up for killing his mother til he was bleeding everywhere. Jonah demanded where the 2 other discs were. Tyler laughed and spat in his face.

    Jonah stole his former master's horse and rode to the station in Savannah and made his way towards New York.

    ​

    Sequence 6 (17 - 22 September 1862) : Battle of Antietam

    On 17th September, while in Maryland just before D.C., the train stopped and everyone was ordered off screaming. Jonah heard cannon fire and knew the Templar-aligned Confederates were once again aiming for Lincoln in Washington D.C. He rode to the battlefield in Antietam and found a Confederate outfit and a musket. Blending in with the army, he slowly made his way to each general avoiding detection, using Eagle Vision to find possible Templars.

    On Burnside's Bridge, he successfully navigated his way through the Confederate army without being seen. Dodging cannon fire and landing on the floor, he was picked up again by... Birney! Birney embraced his old friend but there wasn't enough time to talk. He told Jonah a Confederate general named Lawrence Branch was a Templar and a member of the Grand Master's inner circle - Branch was stationed to the right helping General Robert E. Lee.

    ​

    Battle of Antietam

    Jonah used social stealth to make his way to Branch's right flank and located Branch, who was mounted on a horse. Jonah assassinated him with his Hidden Blade and took him off his horse. In the Memory Corridor, Branch told him that the one of the two remaining discs was in federal hands in D.C., and the Grand Master was in Virginia looking for the other disc.

    The battle was now winning for the Union. Jonah escaped the horde of Confederates trying to kill him and he managed to blend in with the Union and take one of their uniforms. He helped the Union gain a strategic defeat over the Confederates in Antietam. After the battle, Jonah himself was asked to go to Lincoln at Grove Farm.

    Jonah travelled to Grove Farm to meet Lincoln and several Union generals, including the commander of the battle George McClellan, and George Custer. Lincoln congratulated Jonah on him helping the Union win the Battle of Antietam, and asked why he hadn't been seen for over a year. Jonah explained the horrors he had experienced as a slave, including his mother being shot in the head by his master. Shocked, Lincoln said he had to do something. Jonah asked him to abolish slavery, to improve morale, give the Union army a reason to fight, and to stop the horrors and constant tragedies of black slaves. Lincoln said he would try to do so. Five days later, the Emancipation Proclamation was passed by Lincoln, which banned slavery across all of the US should the Union win.

    ​

    Sequence 7 (22 September 1862 - 10 May 1863) : "Stone"-wall Jackson

    Jonah reached New York and went into the Assassin Bureau. He drew gasps of shock as he entered and was taken immediately to Seward. Every Assassin there, except for Birney, thought Jonah had died at the Battle of Manassas. He retold his slavery story to Seward, his assassination of Branch, and the uncovering of Stonewall Jackson as a Templar. Seward ordered him to rest for a couple of months so he could regain his strength.

    By April 1963 Jonah had fully recovered his strength and had already gone on several Assassin missions. On the 1st of May he was ordered to head to northwestern Virginia to assassinate Stonewall Jackson: the task he had been hoping for for the past 2 years. Jonah hurried to Chancellorsville to aid the Union army, Joseph Hooker. He helped the Union defend against the Confederates by firing cannons against the Confederates, firing Gatling guns against hordes of Confederate troops and assassinating several officers. However, the Union were still losing.

    ​

    Battle of Chancellorsville

    Under the cover of night during 2nd May, Jonah headed towards the Confederate camp to find and assassinate Stonewall Jackson. Jonah traversed on the treetops to stealthily and silently make his way towards Stonewall Jackson. He crouched on an extended branch above the main path heading towards the camp, surrounded by trees on two sides, where Jackson was riding towards on a horse. Jonah air assassinated him. In the Memory Corridor, Stonewall Jackson asked if this would be his final battle. Jackson told him--

    Jonah was abruptly pulled out of the Memory Corridor by gunshots. Several Confederate soldiers were firing at him. He stole Jackson's horse and rode away. He didn't kill Jackson, but he would bleed out in several days. He just needed to find out where he was to extract information out of him.

    On 10th May, Jonah located Stonewall Jackson in a rural house nearby Guinea Station. He infiltrated the house and made his way to Stonewall Jackson. Upon seeing Jonah, he pleaded that he kill him, showing him his amputated left arm. Feeling no pity for the man, Jonah assassinated him slowly. In the Memory Corridor, Stonewall Jackson told him the Grand Master was around the same age as him, and that his late father had passed his title onto him recently.

    ​

    Stonewall Jackon's place of death

    Sequence 8 (11 May - 3 July 1963) : Betrayal

    Jonah returned to New York to report to Seward. Seward ordered him that when not on duty he unmask the Grand Master. There were hundreds of thousands of young men in Virginia so he had no way to find out who he was.

    On 2nd July, Seward told Jonah and Birney to head to Gettysburg in Pennyslvania to investigate the battle there and search for a suspected Templar named Lewis Armistead. They rode to the battle to find the town in ruins. They helped the battle in their favour by attacking Lee's regiment, firing artillery shells at the Confederate troops and assassinating some officers.

    On 3rd July, the Confederates had pushed farther north than they had ever done before. Jonah and Birney participated in Pickett's Charge, where they used a Gatling gun to fend off hundreds of Confederate soldiers. The charge made Armistead vulnerable. Jonah and Birney lead a charge against Armistead's regiment. They managed to encircle the regiment. Jonah and Birney use their Hidden Blades simultaneously to assassinate Armistead. In the Memory Corridor, Armistead first addressed Jonah. He said the Grand Master had a history of theatre and the arts in this family and that he liked to be an actor, which caused him to be unique compared to other Templars. He also said the Grand Master would be furious he only had one close advisor - he pointed at Birney and said "You". Birney looked at Jonah with a mix of sheepishness and shock.

    ​

    Pickett's Charge, during the Battle of Gettysburg

    Back in the battle, Jonah looked at Birney with rage, asking how he could betray the Assassins. Birney talked about a man named Shay Cormac, who was at first an Assassin but then became a Templar after finding out the Assassins' grey intentions. Birney begged Jonah to come join him, but Jonah refused. He pulled out a pistol and tried to shoot him. Birney used his Hidden Blade on his shoulder before he could however, and Birney escaped.

    ​

    Sequence 9 (5th July 1863 - 18th October 1864) : The Last Advisor

    Jonah returned to New York to bare the news of Birney's betrayal to Seward. Seward was shocked and couldn't believe it. He slowly recovered, thanked Jonah for his loyalty for the past 7 years, and asked him to continue his work on identifying the Grand Master. He now had another trail, that the Grand Master was a young actor, and his family had a history of theatre - that narrowed down the search a lot. In the end he came up with 20 suspects, although most of them only had a photograph or a name.

    On 16th October 1864, the Assassin Council bore news that Birney, who had by that point become a Union general, had secretly defected to the Confederates and was in the walls of Petersburg, which was under siege by the Union army. Seward ordered Jonah, who had not had a mission in over six months, to infiltrate Petersburg and assassinate Birney, who was doing business in the Gillfield Baptist Church. The entire city of Petersburg would have been a restricted area with medium security, but the area surrounding the Church would have >100 Templar and Confederate guards.

    Ways Jonah could have assassinated Birney include:

    • Betting a drunk man in the city centre to shoot a pistol in the sky, causing attention. Head to the church and assassinate Birney.
    • Get a cannon to fire on the siege walls. Simultaneously, shoot a pistol at the church window. Head into the church, onto a rope directly above Birney and air assassinate him.
    • Burn down a house next to the church. Birney will come out of the church, where you can assassinate him.
    • Find a way to ring the church bell which will attract >50 people into the church. Using social stealth, assassinate Birney.
    • As Birney heads out of the church to have a smoke, infiltrate the church via the top and hide in a confessionary. Assassinate Birney as he heads into another confessionary.
    • Write a letter saying the Assassins were in Petersburg looking for Birney and hand it over to a guard in front of the church. Position yourself on a rooftop near the church. When Birney comes out with a gun, use a smoke bomb on him and his guards then assassinate Birney.

    ​

    Gillfield Baptist Church, Petersburg, Virginia - the second and final blackbox assassination in the game.

    In the Memory Corridor, Birney congratulates Jonah on a good assassination. He tells Jonah he had been a Templar spy planted within the Brotherhood for the last 10 years. He also tells him he was the last advisor to the Grand Master, whose surname was Booth. Booth was conspiring with several other Templar agents to kill several higher-ups in the Union government. Birney tries to embrace Jonah, but he stabs him with his Hidden Blade before he could, telling him betrayal was betrayal.

    ​

    Sequence 10 (19th October 1864 - 9th April 1865) : Appomattox Court House

    Jonah returned to New York to report to Seward. The Confederates and the Templars in the South were nearly wiped out, and they were nearly at the roots. A young actor in Virginia named Booth with a family of acting... he had the photograph of the Grand Master:

    ​

    Grand Master Booth, a conspirator against some high-up US official's life.

    ...but he didn't know where he was or who he was, since he didn't have his first name.

    At dawn on 9th April 1865, as the war was coming to its end, Seward ordered Jonah to heard to Appomattox Court County in Virginia to help Ulysses S. Grant finish off General Lee. Seward gave him an official seal from Lincoln to show Grant that he was one of his agents. Jonah headed to Appomattox Court County and met Grant and showed him Lincoln's seal. Jonah told him that, as Lee was very weak and was fleeing, to scare him into surrender by making his force look as overwhelmingly large as possible.

    They did so, and, as Lee saw the huge Union army and some light fighting, he retreated. Jonah and Grant celebrated with lots of beer - they both knocked themselves unconscious, drunk.

    A couple of hours later, Grant received a letter from Lee saying he wanted to surrender, at 11am confirming at Appomattox Court House. Grant, Jonah and a couple of Union generals and officers went to house to negotiate terms of surrender. Grant and Lee came to a generous peace by 4pm, and Lee thanked him and left with his army. The war in the Eastern Theatre was over.

    ​

    Appomattox Court House

    At dusk, Jonah returned to New York to report to Seward about Lee's surrender. As a thank-you reward, Seward gave him no missions apart from locating Grand Master Booth. The Assassins celebrated in the Bureau - an Assassin-Union victory over the Confederate-Templars.

    ​

    Sequence 11 (14 - 15 April 1865) : Templar's End

    At night on 14th April, Jonah decided to escort Abraham Lincoln to Ford's Theatre with Major Henry Rathborne to watch a play. Jonah sat in the box to the left of Lincoln's. At 10:15pm, Jonah laughed at a line in the play, but abruptly stopped as he saw a young man shoot Lincoln at the back of the head with a derringer. The man shouted "FREEDOM!" before running away. It was Booth. Jonah immediately got up and tried to chase the Grand Master but he was stopped by several people. Cursing at the fact Booth got away, he went to Lincoln and saw a gaping hole at the back of his head. He wasn't dead, but there was no way he would survive more than 24 hours.

    ​

    Grand Master John Wilkes Booth shooting President Abraham Lincoln.

    The next morning, Jonah was still at Lincoln's side when he died. His last words were to Jonah: "I wish I got to see an America at peace under my presidency. Alas, that never happened. Now... go kill that son of a bitch."

    Hearing nothing more from Lincoln, Jonah knew the great President was dead. He decided to go find Grand Master John Wilkes Booth and kill him. He made his way back to Ford's Theatre. Everyone around him was talking about Lincoln. At the exact spot of Booth shooting Lincoln, he used Eagle Vision to trace Booth's steps. He went down the stairs, out of the theatre, turning right at the crossing...

    By dawn on 15th April, Jonah realised Booth had gone to the Precursor vault under Port Royal. He hurried there and located the vault. It was open... so the Templars had found all 4 discs! Jonah went into the vault to see Booth, wearing an immaculate cloth and wielding a large staff.

    ​

    An Isu vault

    Booth gloated at Jonah, telling him Lincoln had the 4th disc, and he had found the 3rd on the bottom of the port in Boston which transformed into a disc. He also tells Jonah Seward had been attacked and was nearing death, to Jonah's great shock. At this exact time, Booth pointed his Staff at Jonah and some form of Precusor power in the form of a laser came out, smacking Jonah hard onto the ground.

    This would be the only boss battle in the game, with Booth having a large healthbar thanks to his Staff and Shroud of Eden. Eventually, Jonah managed to get the Staff of Booth and hit Booth with it, which only hurt him mildly due to his Shroud. After several more minutes of intense combat with the Staff, Jonah got the Shroud off Booth, smacked him on the head with the Staff and assassinated him with his Hidden Blade.

    In the Memory Corridor, Booth laughs at Jonah, telling him that although the Templars in America, this had all been a distraction for the rise of a new Templar Grand Master in Britain named Crawford Starrick, a close associate of Booth, since the American Rite was going to fall no matter what. Jonah simply speed it up. He tells Jonah how his father was the Grand Master until his untimely death, and that he was the best candidate to be Grand Master. Booth showed him the four discs, telling him they were all Apples of Eden, meaning there were 6 Apples of Eden in the vault. Booth said he had no remorse for Lincoln, and killed him as he was increasingly looking as if he was going to make the United States a haven for Assassins. Jonah replied with three words: "It is now."

    At the centre of the Vault there were 6 semi-circled shaped holes: these must be for the Pieces of Eden. The Pieces of Eden could turn into Apples but they could turn into other Pieces. As Jonah picked up each one it turned into an Apple of Eden and put it into each hole. As he put the sixth Apple of Eden in the final hole, the vault suddenly lit up with light.

    Jonah heard a male Isu voice: "Loki. I know you are there. You followed me to the height of the Scandinavian period in Midgard and tried to kill me. But you failed. You have been cursed, Loki, and you will feel its effects very soon. The Heir of Memories from both 79,318 and 79,326IE are the keys--"

    ​

    MODERN DAY - PART 1

    Basim abruptly awoke from the Animus. Loki had all but overtaken him. That Shroud was his, the very one he used to enslave the humans. He had to get it before the Templars could. He had to finish off Layla and Desmond for good by destroying Yggdrasil. He told Shaun and Rebecca that there was an Isu vault under Port Royal with 6 Pieces of Eden: an Isu goldmine.

    They immediately travelled from Maine to Virginia and located the vault under Port Royal. However, several Templar agents had made it before them and were already inside the vault. Basim stealthily made his way into the vault and assassinated the Templar agents. The last one among them was Juhani Otso Berg, who was in a wheelchair, who did notice Basim. Basim took pleasure in assassinating him in the back of the head with his Hidden Blade.

    Basim, Shaun and Rebecca then began to search for the Pieces of Eden. One, two, three, four, five... only five! The Shroud was the only one that was missing. Furious, he demanded to Rebecca that he go into the portable Animus in the back of their van and resume Jonah's memories exactly where he had stopped.

    ​

    Sequence 12 (15 - 29 April 1865) : Buckingham Palace

    "Jonah, take the Shroud and replace the Piece of Eden under Buckingham Palace there with the Shroud. Take the Piece of Eden and destroy it. Sacrifice yourself. If you don't do this, the world will crumble..."

    Jonah had to take the Shroud under Buckingham Palace in London. 12 days later, Booth's body was discovered.

    Jonah returned to New York to see an injured Seward, who told him of the assassination attempt and that he was heading to London and he wouldn't be returning. He went to New York Harbour and bought a ticket to Brighton. He arrived there 9 days later, on 24th April.

    He travelled by train to Crawley. As he went off the train, he sensed several eyes watching him. He used Eagle Vision to find out where. He saw them - a young man and woman of the same age, watching him from a corner. He approached them and they said sorry, introducing themselves as 18-year-old Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye. Jonah introduced himself as an American assassin on a mission and told them how to be more stealthy. Evie listened to him intently, while Jacob was more laid-back and careless. Jonah bade Jacob and Evie farewell and took the next train to Victoria Station.

    ​

    Buckingham Palace (AC Syndicate)

    Jonah infiltrated Buckingham Palace - the whole area was a restricted area. He located and the vault and using a spade and his Hidden Blade to cut open a seal embedded in the grass. He went down the stairs into the vault and found the Piece of Eden - a Sword of Eden inside a case. He opened the case and put the Shroud in it. How would he destroy it?

    Jonah tried snapping it in half - that failed. He then using his Hidden Blade, which did nothing but slightly un-sharpen it. He then decided to try bashing it against the Shroud. The sword was disintegrating. After several hits, the sword was melting and all the strength had gone from his muscles. He hit the Shroud one more time. The sword exploded and disintegrated. Jonah fell onto the floor, dead.

    3 years later in 1868, Evie and Jacob Frye and Henry Green found Jonah. Evie and Jacob recognised Jonah and was shocked to find him here. He was somehow fully preserved, despite being dead in there since 1865. They took him above ground and told an Assassin agent to bury him in the countryside of Maine.

    ​

    MODERN DAY - PART 2

    Basim now knew where his Shroud was. He was woken up from the Animus by gunfire. Still by the vault in Port Royal, more Templar agents must have got to them. Shaun tried to drive as fast as he could, but he was extremely reckless. The backdoor of the van opened, exposing Basim to the Templar agents. Basim used the Staff of Hermes Trismegestus to kill off the Templar agents one by one.

    A couple of hours later, Basim, Shaun and Rebecca were back with their main Animus in the countryside of Maine. Basim, wanting to find out where exactly his Shroud was, decided to go back into the Animus to find out more.

    Which is your favorite Assassin's Creed game?

    Assassin's Creed One Review

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:19 PM PST

    Favorite Sequences 2 and 5

    Story 7/10

    Side quests 5/10

    Character 7/10

    World 8/10

    Overall 7/10

    The world

    First off the world has a very beautiful landscape with amazing parkour exploring Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus has an amazing vibe to it. I don't know how many times I sat on a viewpoint just looking at the landscape. That being said it's not all great the docks parkour at Acre is very difficult seeing as the engine wasn't at its peak yet. Plus the collectibles didn't actually reward you with anything which is a real bummer. I really hated the drunkards and beggars that messed up missions by pushing you around.

    Character

    Altair at the beginning was very arrogant and in all honesty an ass. But I loved that unlike other games the character development actually existed he apologized to characters for his wrong doings and learned from the past. His combat was pretty fun too. The notoriety system was pretty bad though you could never fully tell if your being hunted or about to be attacked.

    Side quests

    Technically there aren't side quests there's investigation activities most of them are pretty similar except for informer missions which are cool at the beginning and terrible because of their difficulty at the end.

    The story

    The only part of the story I really enjoyed were rarely certain assassination targets but mainly the free roam and character development. The reason for this is because of the story felt a bit lacking there wasn't much dialogue between going to a mission and after a mission it was basically good job here's your next one.

    [SPOILER] I love how much I hate Valhalla’s characters

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:37 AM PST

    Spoilers for about 2/3 of the game below!!

    I'm so invested in this game and the various storylines I've played through so far. It has some problems, of course, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. The thing I've enjoyed most of all is the depth and personality of the supporting characters, particularly the antagonists.

    Take Dag, for example. The whiny little bastard was the bane of my existence at Ravensthorpe, and it felt really good to wipe the floor with him when he tried to usurp me. Well done, Ubisoft.

    Fulke is another satisfying antagonist. She's a madwoman, yes, but you as the player know that she's right about the Isu. Her boss fight was brilliant, her smugness turning to desperation as Eivor cuts her life short.

    Is there anyone in particular you feel this way about? Do you disagree with me? Let me know!

    I better not be the only one that chose Dwolfg [SPOILER]

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 10:19 AM PST

    I mean, the other options were just awful. Mouse? Yeah that's a pass. Chewy? That's a word used to describe granola bars. Not only does Dwolfg sound great, it actually works as a name! If you didn't know the context I'm sure you would think that Dwolfg was an actual name.

    [no spoilers] The best song in the game (and it’s not on the OST!!)

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 04:06 PM PST

    This is the song that plays after you conclude the Order of the Ancients quest line.

    It's called 'Disorder of the Ancients' and someone had to dig it out of the game files.

    The sound of Roman artifacts in Valhalla is the same as the Borgia Towers in Brotherhood.

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:29 PM PST

    If I am not mistaken! I'm playing through Brotherhood again and when I unlocked one of the Borgia Towers to ignite, I heard a familiar ethereal shimmer. I swear it's the same sound as the Roman artifacts in Valhalla. If that's the case, it makes me like Valhalla that much more. Such a deep cut.

    Valhalla map compared to map of England?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:34 PM PST

    Has anyone made a map that overlays the area of England included in Valhalla? I would be curious to see which parts of England got left out or just missed the cut for the game, and the extent that Valhalla's map distorts the distances between various locations.

    2 ideas for Austria as a Assassins Creed Location

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 10:11 PM PST

    Hey!

    Due the lockdown in my country I am currently playing several AC games at the moment.(played origins, odysse, syndicate, right now unity; ac2 and valhalla are next)

    At at the moment the first "leaks" of the location of the a new AC are spreading and i made my own thoughts about good locations.

    At my opinion Austria would be great. Mostly because several time areas and places would fit perfectly. Also the connection to other AC games could work out.

    Idea 1 1809 in Tyrol (part of austria with lots of mountains which would give a beautiful setting) Following story happened just like this: A small resistance army of farmers fought agains napoleon. And even if they were only a few and had no real or good weapons, they won 3 out of 4 times. Afterwards there was a Judas-like batrayal to the head of the resistance Andreas Hofer by one of his nearest "friend" Franz Raffl . At the moment Hofer should get shot by a firing squad, nobody really hit him deadly and than he said something like "oh, how bad you are at shooting" There was also a famous Monch fighting at the top of this resistance Joachim Haspinger. This already sounds for me already as some good plot and some fascinating charcters. And love to hear the "tyrolean" dialect sound from background characters.

    Idea 2 If you want more the vienna city-style and more the (after) medievalal times, Habsburg monachie would fit. one of Empress Maria Theresia's daughters was Maria Antoinette which we already know from Unity. Also as the Habsburger had a slogan which said "others fight wars - we marry" they married all their children everyehere in europe. This could also be used for some plot as they could infiltrate so the whole european monarchies with spies.

    My personal favorite is the first one. What do you guyes think?

    AC Bundle made gaming fun again.

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:09 PM PST

    Last month, I purchased AC Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla for a solid price of $70 on the Microsoft Store. Long story short, I'm 54 hours into Odyssey, the first AC game I've played since AC 3. Odyssey got me back into the franchise and I'm hooked. Currently, I am now just working on finishing the cult after finishing the main storyline / Atlantis. After this, what game should I tackle next? I have the Series X so I'm excited for enhanced graphics with Valhalla. On the other hand, Origins and the Egyptian setting sounds much more interesting than 9th century England in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I still think Vikings are bad ass. Any suggestions? Does starting one game over the other hurt my understanding of the AC timeline / story in general? (It's probably already hurt after skipping everything between AC 3 and Odyssey).

    Odyssey Appreciation Post: Phiobe [Spoilers]

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:23 PM PST

    Fair warning, my post is written with the assumption that those who are reading have already played Odyssey, so it's full of spoilers.

    So after realizing how dumb I am by not ensuring that the rest of Odyssey's fate of Atlantis DLC was actually installed, I just started Episode 2 after having not played the game in a year or so. While I had forgotten how much fun Odyssey is and have had a blast with the Cerberus fight and running around the Underworld, I was not prepared to see Phiobe again.

    I had went into Odyssey blind and unwilling to look things up online, knowing that there were multiple endings and people could live or die depending on your choices. So by the time the plague hits Athens and Phiobe is now fully involved with everything going down, I'm absolutely convinced that I can keep her safe from the Cult.

    Obviously, I was wrong.

    Phiobe's death hit me surprisingly hard, as normally video games largely fail to elicit emotional reactions out of me. That self-assured confidence that I could make a difference rapidly slipping away into a sombre realization that sometimes we fail horrifically really allowed me to feel what Alexios was going through. The VA absolutely knocked it out of the park too, the scene would not have worked if Michael Antonakos couldn't step up to the plate.

    So here I am, having not really thought about Odyssey for about a year now, jumping back in to goof around and kill bad guys and then bam: Phiobe sitting in the muck of the Underworld, and having drank from the River Lethe to boot (for those who may be unaware, that was the river you'd drink from to wipe all of your memories away).

    The chain of missions where you help Phiobe before guiding her to Elysium were super great, if short, and it was a nice way for Alexios to get some closure for his grief and guilt that have no doubt plagued him ever since that horrid day in Athens.

    So thank you Ubisoft, for hitting me with unexpected feels and reminding me why Odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time.

    What did everyone else think about Phiobe or Odyssey's other side characters? Or is your favourite supporting cast from another game?

    There is companion in this game after all! [minor spoiler]

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:30 AM PST

    One quest in Cent has you partnered up with Basim. Once the quest started I decided to free roam and voila, he started to follow me everywhere I go. (don't know if this works w all companion missions)

    I ended up taking out zealots and camps with him and for now it looks like I have a pseudo companion indefinitely.

    PS

    Started a new quest line and not sure if I inadvertently spoiled myself but he is now next to Eivor in every cutscene which is pretty funny. Soon as the scene ended he started attacking a major character of that arc...like right then in that room.

    [POTENTIAL SPOILERS] Order of the Ancients Silhouettes

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 08:21 AM PST

    Personally, I think Ubisoft should take out the silhouettes for the Order of the Ancients members in their next game. I think the rest of the menu is perfectly fine, but they should just replace the silhouettes with a normal cloud or fog that you can't see anything through. I say this because more often than not in Valhalla, I've been able to easily figure out who certain members of the Order are just because of their silhouette as I'm trying to look at the given clue(s). This becomes especially easy too, as not only can you see their hairstyle, skin, and gender, but you can also make out their clothes, the textures of their clothes, and even accessories that they have attached. In totality, I think the silhouettes just make the clue system redundant, as you can almost immediately tell who the story driven members of the Order are from the moment you lay eyes on them / meet their character in game. It especially backfires if it's not supposed to be revealed in the game until later on in the quest line. Either way, I loved Valhalla a LOT, but this is one thing that kinda bothered me a little bit.

    So I've just accessed Jomsviking recruitment. I want to recruit my girlfriends one to join my team. I've seen some posts about that not being likely but they were a few months old. Is there any update on a way to make that happen? Figured you guys would be the right ones to ask. Seems sort of crazy they aren't the first ones highlighted, maybe I'm missing something?

    Loving the Welsh touches in Valhalla

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 02:10 PM PST

    Been playing through Valhalla the past few days and just have to say that Ubisoft has done a good job with the Welsh language (or Briton in the game, normally on the western side of the map). As someone who was raised in Wales and can speak Welsh, it was a laugh hearing the soldiers cursing while fighting or actually understanding Brigid's part of the conversations with Gunnar.

    Not only that, but I like the little touches here and there such as seeing love spoons during the Samhain festival and hearing the locals talk about Y Ladi Wen.

    Good job Ubisoft!

    [Spoiler Alert] the AC Valhalla villain death scenes are amazing

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 03:42 AM PST

    Gotta say, out of all the games in the series, Valhalla has the best for villain deaths. I mean of course when you kill then and that little cutscene pops up where you somehow have a thirty second chat to the guy whos throat you just slashed. I'm talking overall, of course ones like Cesare (No MaN cAn MuRdEr mEEE) and Haytham will always be the best in the series but this game actually made them really cool. For pretty much the whole series its just been you giving them their funeral rites while they beg for forgiveness or curse your name but Origins changed that with those actual little cutscenes if I remember correctly, though im pretty sure those scenes were the same as the old games only with a different background. This game actually gave full on cutscenes. I'm only up to East Anglia but Wigmund and Kjotve's deaths were insanely cool, I especially liked Wigmund's. It's very Cesare. He screams about how its his birthright to have power while running through a crowd screaming for them to die for him and then you just walk through the crowd like its nothing. It's simultaneously epic and symbolic, showing that the one thing he craved, power, has been lost to him.

    Also is there a Soma romance later on cause she kinda cute ngl

    Mystery synchronization viewpoint in Origins. How to find it?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:57 PM PST

    So I fished the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC earlier today and have been going around the maps looking for all missing synchronization points and I am down to 1 left. I have all sections of all maps visible, and made sure to get all 4 in the afterlife realms, yet I am still missing one and have no clue where to look. At this point the only quests available to me are the trials of Sekhmet and Anubis. Is there a good resource that shows all locations on the maps, preferably sorted by region? I'm assuming that completing the last one will also get an achievement so extra incentive to find it lol

    The combat from Valhalla is much better than older games

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:36 AM PST

    I've seen a ton of people circlejerking how great the combat from older games was, and trying to find ways to criticize Valhalla, which is nonsense. The older games essentially had combined rock, paper, scissors with button mashing for their fighting style. It looked cool, and made you feel powerful, but every fight basically ended up the same. The parry to instant kill was so crazy powerful that half the time, you didn't even need to go on the offensive. You could sit around holding up an infinite block, and wait for them to come close and attack you. If you failed, you'd take a slight amount of damage, stumble back, and try it all again. Using that, an Assassin could clear out a group of ten or fifteen guards easily. Connor especially was a tank, capable of cutting through giant armies of enemies. Sure, you'd occasionally get a different enemy, but once you knew the four types, you could pretty easily deal with any of them. Half the fight was basically just watching the fight animation you triggered.

    On the other hand, Valhalla's combat is legitimately open ended. You can combine dozens of weapons, or go with a ranged approach. You can use a heavy weapon and try to get one or two hits in, or use a lighter weapon and dodge around chipping away at an enemy. You can have a shield and weapon to mix offense and defense, or go with double weapons for all offense. Parrying is also a useful tool in Valhalla, but unlike earlier games, it doesn't guarantee an instant kill, and is generally harder to pull off. On the whole, Valhalla's combat looks and feels great, and is a good mix of power fantasy and skill.
