I’m trying this after Achilles is dead so I’m playing the priest or whatever. If I could, I would most definitely make this guy homeless after beating him along with the moron who created this trophy.
OMG after 5 hours of trying to get this against Achilles I finally got it after watching your video, Thanks so much! TIP: Follow Connors first 2-3 moves exactly, it will help you set up your end game.
Wow that's awesome. Thank you again. Although this achievement can't really be chesed, as he does, or can do, different moves each time, im glad you got it thanks to my video. This was probably my most difficult platinum, but most rewarding once I finally beat him. What a triumph!
Hello from 2024! I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for his video! I suppose the foundation of the win in this freaking game lies in the first moves made by the players. I tried for about 10 times until the NPC (Timothy) made exactly the same first 3-4 moves. After that, I had a good positioning and a good amount of caps while Timothy remained only 1 cap so I just needed to block it in the upper-right corner of the board. So there is an advice for future players: remember the first 3-4 moves (both yours and your opponent's) and try again and again until NPC start acting just as in the video. Thanks Joseph, you saved me a lot of time and nerves!
I just finally won this way too. At the end I had 6 pieces and he had 1 and I was still worried we'd somehow end in a draw (since that was what always happened before using this video).
It took me at least 100 games (losses) before I learmed the game, and understood how to move. I learned by questioning his moves. Why did he move away from me? Moving (not vertical, but sideways) seemed to chase him away more, while also trying to keep a two-space difference. If you move up and he moves up to meet you, he csn take all your pieces in that row and then combo moves, and take out half your board. The rules are very strange and were odd to understand. I kinda learned it/winged it. I have a srmi idea of what to do. I'd want to play it again and see if i can still beat him. If I had software and knew how to make videos, I'd live to mke a how-to guide and review my game and analyze each move. Seems like all other guides on here are so vague. And that mirroring cheese method with an app, its not accurate. If he makes a move not what the app did and if you dont know how to play, you'll just be guessing. Better off being strong and knowing how to play. You'll have much better odds of winning. I'm all for cheesing if applicable. I cheesed Nine Men's Morris. But this, cheesing it seemed harder so i just learned to play legit
@@josephbiondi8427 most of the "guides" here are actually games won by luck probably. i left it to luck because i couldn't be arsed to master the game lol. but i did pick up some things as i played similar to what you did
@@mutcoo lol i guess its a useless talent to have. Not like we will ever be competing in real life league tornaments. But it was kinda cool to pick up on an ancient game and learn it the proper way and have a legit win on it. I'm all for cheesing but I found cheesing this to be harder cuz the ai can move in so many different moves. Some people copied my moved and it worked for them. That is very cool but it's also very rare if he makes the same identical moves he makes in this video. You really need to flank him and corner him like I did so he is screwed. Have spare pieces laying around that you can use to "waste" a move, forcing him to do something. And he will either move towards you or away. If he moves towards you, you can probably move back a square and take his piece. Its like a mix of playing aggressively and defensively.
@@mutcoo I'm glad you stuck with it, though. Over all the plat was a bitch to get. So many grindy aspects of the game. And bugs, too. But we are in lockdown/quarantine so nothin else to do lol. Cheers on your victory
@@josephbiondi8427 thank you, my friend. i mostly deal with the hard and grindy parts first and then play the main missions and it is a smooth ride after that. i played towards platinum on ps3 years ago, and i was stuck at washington conversations because of the bug. that's the only thing i fear now lol
Thank you everyone for the comments. If shareplay is possible, I wouldn't mind playing it again. I know this here is a roadblock for most people and the plat. I am on PS4
@@alucardhellsing7178 are you on PS4? I can give it a shot, but I havent played it since, and this was my only victory. Might need a few warmup games. I think I still remember how to do it. Its really not hard once you know how to play, but it still requires some skill, and probably luck, just like Chess. Its been about a year since i last played this game, since i posted the video
@@alucardhellsing7178 good shit. I may reinstall this game again and try playing fanorana again, a year later. To see if I can still beat it. Ill post the video, if so.
Trying to go for the Plat and every time I follow this, I do the first three moves correctly then Achilles does some crazy stuff that gets rid of my half board and I can’t do nothing 🤦♂️
Sorry to hear that. This video wasn't exactly posted to be a guide to follow these exact steps to beat him,, more like me posting my achievement of beating him. I really doubt you can try and copy the moves in any video on here, as the ai player can and usually will, make different moves. I had to lose alot of games to understand the rules. I'd question his moves, and understand why he moved away from me, etc. The hardest part of the game is when he has only a few pieces left. I lost alot of games, but once I figured out how to play, and I guess with a bit of luck, he was beatable. I tried to copy moves from video, too. Even tried to mirror the moves from an app. Honestly it was easier to just learn how to play, rather than chance my luck he makes the same moves in a video. Learn how to play and come back. Dont give up. Its not impossible. Instead of getting frustrated, turn that to a learning experience. Thats what I did.
i hate this fucking trophy so much. everytime im winning the ai will end up getting 4 turns back to back and i rarely get more than 1 its so aggrivating
Would it be possible to share play? Perhaps I can try and beat it for you. Or at least near the end, give you back the remote and tell you what piece to move. I wanna play it again.
@@theapexrayyan1512 I'm on PS4 still. I haven't played since I posted this video. Its been a few years, I barely remember how to play. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot but I cant make any promises that I'll win
PRO TIP: Download a Fanorona game on your phone, put the IA on the highest difficult, choose the white side and then in the game (AC3) you just dont start, let the IA start, so in the Fanorona mobile you copy every move of the AC3 and in AC3 you copy every move of the mobile game. Did it in the first attempt this way.
Unfortunately the AI does not use the same moves every time, so I still get trashed. Not going to waste more time on this, things like this only belong in games when they are fun and winneable, like the card game in Witcher III. This is just annoying and frustrating. Pity.
Thing is the AI is too smart, on all difficulties it never one does a mistake. I saw a reddit post about someone cloning the AI and putting the versus together, they're still playing after 8 years. It's a stupid poorly designed infinity game. Unless you get the EXACT right move and the AIs picks the EXACT opening that forces it into a certain play you're utterly screwed, nothing you can do to win.
Thank you so much for this video!! I finally got the trophy after hours of research and attempts. I know you can't win just by copying a video, but it got me very close. Thank you so much!!!
It's possible you can get lucky copying this or any video, you can still win as long as the ai makes the exact same move as the video. But I found it'll actually be alot easier to learn how to play the game (self taught) and I beat him effortlessly. I studied his moves and asked myself why he went forward or backward or diagonal, and I learned that way. Through many mistakes.
Dude this isnt a guide or a means to mirror my moves. The ai will make different moves than in the video most of the time. You have a slight chance he will make the same moves but its a long shot. I tried to cheat too and it took too long that way. Its alot easier to learn how to play the game. Its actually not that hard once you get the hang of it. Watch my video but dont try and copy it. Study my moves and realize Why I made those moves. I lost alot of games but I didnt let the frustration get the better of me. Each loss was a learning experience.
Joseph Biondi yeah buddy. I was just being impatient. I beat him in the end thanks to you. The game broke on me tho on the delivery requests being stuck on 66% so I can’t get all the achievements haha. It Was literally the last thing I had to finish. Guess I’ll have to restart the game all over again....One day 🤦♂️😂....Anyway thanks for your help.
@@toxicozzy2k The game bugged on me too with those delivery requests. I literally had to follow a video, find the person in the town, run up to them, And then thats when the envelope or package icon appeared above them. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm realy glad this video was able to help people. 🙏
@Joseph Biondi Holy shit!!! Thank you so much!! Just tried that out just now and it bloody worked!! He had glitched out in Boston. Just got the last achievement 😃. You’re the best dude!
@@toxicozzy2k wow thank you. I'm almost tempted to play this again, a year later, and make a "how to" guide. Kinda getting irritated by the dislikes or negative comments, all by people looking for a shortcut. You have a rare chance at copyingy moves or anyones moves in a y video because the ai can, and most likely will, make different moves. And then what? If you dont know how to play, you're f****d. Thats why I suggest to everyone you learn how to play the game. This cant really be cheesed. Not easily at least. It may take longer to try and cheese your victory, where if you just knew how to play the game, you can beat this in 7 minutes like in my video. Also there is no time limit so you can take all the time you want to plan out your moves. But I still get people coming here looking for a shortcut. All the dislikes must be from people who tried to cheat by copying my video, when I made it abundantly clear this is Not a how-to guide, nor can it be cheesed. Its a very very small chance he will make the same counters. And if he don't, youre screwed. Its much easier to learm how to play so you can counter his moves. I tried to cheat too and that shit took too long and was too hard. Learning how to play was alot easier and faster. With each loss, i learned something. And as with anything in life, a game or whatever, any loss should be a learning experience. But cheers to your victory. Its no easy task. and out of all the AC games, not counting Valhalla (yet) or Chronicles, this was The hardest to platinum. Because of the optional objectives you must do in one go, not stackable like other AC games, and then these little board games, not to mention all the bugs that are in the game. But there's wsys around that. As I didnt let anything stop me from getting this plat. And what better time to do it than the beginning of the pandemic lol
It's been a few years but I remember that trophy was buggy but doable. I remember I had to run around alot to each person until they were yellow and able to speak to them.
@@josephbiondi8427 I have everything done but Ellen the tailor is the last one for me. She does all her 3 tasks but it says 2 and she never does anything else besides those 3 tasks
@@mystic22211 I really don't remember, I'm sorry. Have you tried researching that trophy specifically? Use all guides regardless of console. Might pick up a solution somewhere. I wish I could help. I did this a few years ago and I do remember parts of it were buggy, and annoying.
The AI plays like a settler that has been playing these games since childhood. I play like someone who has never played or heard of them. Ubisoft expecting players to learn obscure strategy games from the ground up just for a challenge is frustrating. I admire folks like you who keep a level-head and learn from every loss, I am not so measured. This is going to be a miserable process to get through.
@@danielflanard8274 I did it during the pandemic/lockdown. I spent 3 full days learning this. Instead of getting frustrated, which is easier said than done. I learned from my mistakes and why I lost, or how did I take so many if his pieces on a lucky move or why did he take so many of my pieces. I had unlimited amounts of time to learn this. As for platinums, if you have unlimited amounts of time and patience, any platinum is obtainable. If you through enough crap against the wall, some of it will eventually stick. It is a maddening, repetitive cycle. It's easier to learn how to play this game cuz once you figure it out, it's easier than it looks. And it's very rewarding once you do win. You'll never need to play this ever again.
@@josephbiondi8427 "it's very rewarding once you do win. You will never need to play this again."

Adaptability is a good quality to foster but this sure is a punishing way to go about it. Currently I am just trying to finish the club challenges so that I can get the Completionist achievement. The main obstacle right now is earning 500 in gambling winnings. 2/5 of the way there so far via bowls, not a fun mini-game. I don't know if I will bother with Original Gamer. Learning how to play Poker for a few different games and Dominos for Red Dead Redemption 2 took me long enough. If I do decide to go for it, I will keep your success in mind.

Holy shit, wow. Thank you. That made my day. I'm no expert. I lost a bunch of times but instead of getting frustrated, I learned & studied from my mistakes and understood the game (for the most part) and its rules. Id study his moves and ask myself "why did he do that" or "why did he move away from me" this was all I needed for the plat as well. It took me a few days of grinding & learning. I beat it legit. No mirroring the moves of an app or anything. I am so glad my little achievement video helped inspire others to play. Never thought my "strategy" here would break the game and help others to beat him too. Thank you so much 😇
Just wondering, I 100%'d this game a few years ago so I can't remember, but do you HAVE to win the expert version of this mini game? Aren't there different difficulties of it around the homestead. Is the trophy not 'win one of each game on the homestead'? so can't you play it somewhere else where it's easier and win that?
"All three games must be won on the Homestead. You must initiate and win each of the three games outside of a mission for it to count towards the trophy." It's in the description for the "Original Gamer" trophy on every guide.
It’s a long shot but if you are able and willing to help I’d like to see if you’d be down to SharePlay with me and tell me what moves to make? I’m perplexed at this game and can’t wrap my head around it.
Its been about 2 years since I played this. I'm not sure if I remember exactly how to play it, I still have an idea I guess. It'd be easier for me to just play for you via Shareplay rather than tell you what moves. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. Cant promise a victory though.
I don't get it. I've won a Fanorona, a Morris and a Bowls game but I still haven't gotten the trophy. I've won two Bowls games, two Morris games and one Fanorona game. What else am I supposed to do?
You did those games at the Homestead ? They gotta be there cuz it's the hardest difficulty. This game was kinda buggy, to be honest. Didn't have trouble with trophies popping but certain things weren't spawning on the map and I'd have to watch videos and run up and find the courier in one of the towns cuz tbe icom wasn't there on the mall, more than one time
@@josephbiondi8427 Nah mate, I just had to win the bowls game against the two brothers in the middle of the map. I actually beat Fanorona and Morris again thanks to vids like this Morris wasn't difficult at all though there were many permutations in Fanorona bc the nerds in Ubisoft thought it'd be funny to make it even more difficult, adding more permutations in the remastered version. Though I managed to beat it thanks to a brilliant comment in one of these vids. It just told me to corner the opponent's pieces and then take them out. If I hadn't stumbled upon that solution I'd still be trying to beat it today I reckon 😂
@@AJK1DD I remember having trouble with Bowls each time I played it, especially against George Washington, cuz I needed to hear all his dialogue. So those few Bowls games took a while. And Fanorana took days, like 3 full days of constant defeats til I finally learned what to do.
@@josephbiondi8427 Fanorona was more difficult for me bc it took me the same amount oftime as it did for you. Just fucking impossible mate. Those fucking non-wife or gf having nerds over at Ubisoft probably thought they had struck gold with these shitty little games. It really pissed me off while I was playing the game. Bowls against Washington was annoying but it didn't take me too long. I beat him the sixth time I think bc by then I had played bowls a lot and I knew how to play really well. I always played second and I focused on throwing my balls on top of the opponents and making sure mine were closer to the smaller ball. Hey, at least the dialogue with Washington was interesting wasn't it? 😂
I watched a video on six man Morris bc it was driving me crazy and the dude said fanorona was the hardest one so I came to watch this before I played, and I ended up beating the guy first try :|
@@thetxkidd2013 lol me too. You can't really cheat this. You can, but it'll take so long if everything goes according to plan. It was just easier to learn how to play instead
@@thetxkidd2013 I know. It's rare if he makes the same moves as in this video or others. But unfortunately there is no cheese method to this. It can work but the chances are very slim. And it'll just take longer to cheat then actually play the game legit. It's a skill we will never need to use ever again lol
I sucked at this game, too. I spent days losing a lot , but learning from my mistakes. I studied his moves, why he moved forward or away, and the consequences. And winged it from there. Rather than get frustrated from losing, learn from those mistakes and understand them. Easier said than done, I know. I did this during lockdown in the beginning of the pandemic and I had a ton of time to waste here lol
Watched your videos but my plays are similar just one you just have to learn the game there is a small amount of Luck but it is a lot of skill you have to really start to analyse all the computers possible moves in the second half of the game, if the flow is crap sometimes it's good to lose a piece just to move forward sometimes a simple mistake isn't always a bad thing additionally sometimes waiting the computer and sacrificing a piece isn't necessarily bad as long as you have planned ahead.
I could give it a shot. I haven't played since I posted this video. I'd need to watch this again and try to remember how to play. I may not get it done on the first shot. I cant guarantee ill win. I was really "in the zone" last year and really focused and committed. But I'm willing to try at least
@@SonGokuuuuuuu congrats! yea no worries. I was serious about giving it a shot. It took me days, full days, of non stop grinding and losing a lot of games, which is how I "taught" myself how to play. I had all the time in the world last April when I got the plat, due to the lockdown. Save your video! That is quite the trophy/achievement to be proud of!
How many times do I have to point out everywhere THIS IS NOT A GUIDE. YOU CANNOT COPY MOVES FROM ANY VIDEO, AS HE WILL MOST LIKELY NOT MAKE THE SAME MOVES IN YOUR GAME? There's a tiny chance it can work but it'll take you a lot longer to try and cheat vs learning the game and playing for real. So if he makes a different move, you'll know what to do and understand why you lost. That's the only way I won, by losing a lot and learning from my mistakes
I mostly had to wing it after move 3 couldn’t get him to do what he was meant to but I got it eventually using those first 3 moves each time, thanks for the help. 😤👍
I could give it a shot. I havent played in months since I beat it, and I only beat it this one time. No one ever asked me to play it for them yet lol Question -- would the trophy still pop for you if I or someone else shareplays it for you?
@@spoodurmin9742 good for you. Glad you beat him. And that is super cool, didnt know that a friend can help earn you a trophy through share play. Good to know.
@@spoodurmin9742 probably for the best you beat him. I kinda remember how to play, but I'm rusty as hell, and may need to practice or freshen up, if I were to play it for someone. Probably wont get it on the first attempt. I think I did this about 6 months ago, and after I finished the dlc's and got platinum, I deleted the game. Might have been the hardest plat I earned as of now. Im not exactly a trophy hunter but I do like to go for them most of the time, as long as they're reasonable. I love AC so I'll go for all of them. Most of those Gta games or Red Dead are just too much to bother with.
@@josephbiondi8427 I feel you. I’m only missing 2 trophies for RDR2’s plat but it’s so hard to find a goddamn Bull Moose. Anyways, I have to ask, do the DLC trophies count for the plat?
😂well, Valhalla isnt much better, as far as glitches, actually. And Unity crashed on me two or three times during the last mission. But yeah, these homestead board games are a real obstacle for players to obtain the plat. I dont agree with it either as a mandatory requirement. Although, on the bright side, being that this is the remastered version, there's no bullshit multiplayer you gotta do, and hope to find active lobbies. If it wasnt for multiplayer, Black Flag would be perfect. Still may be my favorite of the series. I liked them all, just some alot more than others. It took me two days to figure out this game. It is frustrating, I know. But instead of being angry and clouding my judgement with frustration, I looked at things differently. Like ok, why did I lose? Why did he make that move (either away from me or towards me) the rules are weird. By the time I got to this, I kinda knew what I was doing. This was my only victory at this game. I cheesed Nine Men's Morris, and Bowls was a bitch. Not to mention also having to play Bowls against Washington, just for the extra dialogue in order to 100%. As annoying as Fanorana was, I think those underground tunnels were the biggest waste of time and clutter in any AC game. At least if there was treasure down there. They were pointless and I never used them. Also I gotta say the optional objectives here are the hardest in any AC game, as they dont stack. You have to get it perfect in one attempt. Ill try to get them done as I'm playing the new missions, but if I fail, I'll keep going and just replay whichever incomplete missions at the end. The courrier missions were so bugged, too. Very frustrating & annoying game. Could have been awesome if not for all the bullshit
@@josephbiondi8427 I haven’t done the 100% yet on AC3 but can’t imagine it’s gonna be any fun either. I haven’t done the underground shit either, never understood that from the start.
@@alfie_met8136 it took me a few full days. Its quite boring. You gotta do 1 game of each type but after that, you can get all the other trophies in the Wolfpack round, which you can do solo. Aim for the challenges, like playing on certain maps or playing as certain characters for that extra xp boost. Its gonna be boring after a little while so prepare yourself. Listen to music or somethin so you don't lose your mind.
@@alfie_met8136 yeah unfortunately you have to do alot of bullshit to 100%. The naval missions and their optional objectives were no joke. Either whatever they were (not taking damage, or beating all the ships under a time constraint -- cant remember) but no fun. Youll have to find Washington, i think you meet him in Sequence 8 if I remember correctly. I think you can load up a mission which he is in, or when you first meet him. And talk to him and get him to say all his dialogue. And you will have to play a game of Bowls with him. Ill assume you have to win in order for it to count (just to be safe) Try and find a good video of a tour guide showing you the tunnels. The video I watched, i followed step by step, and even hs got lost, so it was like blind leading the blind, but he finds his way and gets it done. You can always play these videos on half or quarter speed so you dont get lost. That tunnel shit is really confusing and you can get lost easily. That shit was boring too. And you gotta do a bunch of it in NY and Boston. Itll take a while. Im not even so sure the plat is worth it in all honestly. You really gotta do alot of bullshit for it. Alot of tedious pain in the ass tasks. The hunting challenges were ok I guess. Just gotta identify them. One big time waste was updating your journal at the homestead, where you have to observe everyone there working and doing different tasks. Thats gonna take a while too. (Boring!) Youll be running around the homestead in eagle vision observing them. I think if theyre yellow, that means theyre doing something new and that activity hasnt been scanned. Its been a while, i could be wrong. I think i remember Red being a color, too. You have to do all side quests for everyone in the homestead and reach max level with everyone there and then you gotta do a bunch of crafting for some courrier missions. So thats why you need to be leveled up at the homestead. Youll need certain wood or materials to craft items, which you have to give to someone. And some of those are bugged, too. Not all the courrier missions have the Letter or Package icon above the character you have to see. Again, another video is necessary to find Waldo. Once you approach them, the icon will appear above their head. If you can tolerate the bugs and tedious shit and pain in the ass optional objectives, you can do it. Its just very time consuming. Its entirely up to you if you feel if its worth it or not. I did it back when the virus started. Since I had all the time in the world to do this.
I am truly amazed at how many people say this video helped them. Wow. This was just me posting my proud victorious win! If you get something from this, then awesome. If I was a skilled TH-camr, I would make an actual instructional video.
Wow.. Well I'd hate to admit how long I tried playing this lol maybe 2 full days. I just learned from my losses and mistakes and figured out how to play eventually.
Amazing video - perplexed for several hours while using every other video for help, being 8-2 up etc & still losing 🤯. Although the AI didn’t use the same manoeuvres as this video - the go first and first few moves puts you in the best start possible and remember you don’t have to take the extra movement as often will leave you exposed for a massacre 😭. After watching this video I completed it 2nd go (first time was bc I clearly messed up - tears were blurring my eyes) P.s. I never normally leave compliments but next to my child’s birth & 15000ft sky dive - BEST feeling I’ve ever had 5️⃣⭐️
Wow thank you. This is probably the best compliment I have received yet on this video. Although this wasnt an instructional guide or a cheese method, simply just my victory, cuz for me too it was an amazing feeling to have beaten this. You cant exactly copy/mirror moves from a video, as the ai can and usually will make different opposing moves leaving you clueless. For me, the easiest way to beat this was to learn how to play the game. It took me days, probably a hundred losses or so. Instead of getting frustrated, (which I was) I used it as a learning experience. I learned from my mistakes and questioned his moves, whether it be moving towards me or away from me. After awhile I kinda got the hang of it. This was my only victory at this game. I probably would and should make an instructional guide on how to play. I'm all for cheating too, but for me, cheating was harder than just learning the game. Learning how to fight so I'll be prepared for whatever happens. Its been 6+ months since I last played this. I'm not sure if I remember how to play lol. I'm really glad my video helped you. Most of these comments have been wonderful to read. This was just my victory, I never expected it to help any one. Really cool. Its actually a better feeling than beating the game. Glad I posted this. Congrats. Enjoy your platinum.
@@Abo3aBD229 no But there are videos out there you can easily copy exaxtly what the Nine Men's Morris video shows. Like that you cant mess up. You can easily cheese that one. I watched a video on it too 😎it is flawless. Easier than Six Men's Morris
@@wrightroenigk I'm just tired of reading nasty comments on here from people trying to copy my moves, and bitter when it don't work out. You can't really cheat this game. There is a slim chance you can copy my moves and the computer will play along. Some people got lucky using this video, others didn't. It wasn't posted to be a "how to" guide. It says so in the description. I purposely wrote that cuz I am tired of reading hateful comments.
Thanks Assassin's Creed for giving me a newfound hatred of colonial passtimes.
I’m trying this after Achilles is dead so I’m playing the priest or whatever. If I could, I would most definitely make this guy homeless after beating him along with the moron who created this trophy.
Thanks for spoiling the game in a post literally about a f***ing minigame for an achievement man…
@@joshschneider1825 the game is 12 years old. and if its that big of a deal why the hell did you check the comments thats on you bud
Mine does completely different moves
@@joshschneider1825Well that’s your fault for watching videos on the game before finished the story and side quests.. Nobody to blame but yourself
Thank u man, these mini games and maritim full sync are pure cancer
That feeling when you realise the computer is doing the same thing in the video as in the game 😅 thank you so much
My video helped you? Wow so cool. Thank you
Haha de feeling when you realise your computer don't😔
I wonder if this is different on the OG AC3 and the Remastered version🤔
@@charlietjader I did this on the remastered
@@fawkes2109im trying to do this on remastered... not the same
OMG after 5 hours of trying to get this against Achilles I finally got it after watching your video, Thanks so much!
TIP: Follow Connors first 2-3 moves exactly, it will help you set up your end game.
Wow that's awesome. Thank you again. Although this achievement can't really be chesed, as he does, or can do, different moves each time, im glad you got it thanks to my video. This was probably my most difficult platinum, but most rewarding once I finally beat him. What a triumph!
I watched a few AC 3 Fanorona Expert videos but yours brought me to the achievement quicker than the other videos. Thank you sir.
Hello from 2024!
I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for his video!
I suppose the foundation of the win in this freaking game lies in the first moves made by the players. I tried for about 10 times until the NPC (Timothy) made exactly the same first 3-4 moves. After that, I had a good positioning and a good amount of caps while Timothy remained only 1 cap so I just needed to block it in the upper-right corner of the board.
So there is an advice for future players: remember the first 3-4 moves (both yours and your opponent's) and try again and again until NPC start acting just as in the video.
Thanks Joseph, you saved me a lot of time and nerves!
These comments always make my day. 🙏thank you.
I just finally won this way too. At the end I had 6 pieces and he had 1 and I was still worried we'd somehow end in a draw (since that was what always happened before using this video).
@@Jules384 my congrats, happy to hear that now you are one step closer to the platinum trophy :)
i finally caught the old man with 4v1 in a corner oh it felt so satisyfying to gradually catch up to him and getting his final thing
It took me at least 100 games (losses) before I learmed the game, and understood how to move. I learned by questioning his moves. Why did he move away from me? Moving (not vertical, but sideways) seemed to chase him away more, while also trying to keep a two-space difference. If you move up and he moves up to meet you, he csn take all your pieces in that row and then combo moves, and take out half your board. The rules are very strange and were odd to understand. I kinda learned it/winged it. I have a srmi idea of what to do. I'd want to play it again and see if i can still beat him. If I had software and knew how to make videos, I'd live to mke a how-to guide and review my game and analyze each move. Seems like all other guides on here are so vague. And that mirroring cheese method with an app, its not accurate. If he makes a move not what the app did and if you dont know how to play, you'll just be guessing. Better off being strong and knowing how to play. You'll have much better odds of winning. I'm all for cheesing if applicable. I cheesed Nine Men's Morris. But this, cheesing it seemed harder so i just learned to play legit
@@josephbiondi8427 most of the "guides" here are actually games won by luck probably. i left it to luck because i couldn't be arsed to master the game lol. but i did pick up some things as i played similar to what you did
@@mutcoo lol i guess its a useless talent to have. Not like we will ever be competing in real life league tornaments. But it was kinda cool to pick up on an ancient game and learn it the proper way and have a legit win on it. I'm all for cheesing but I found cheesing this to be harder cuz the ai can move in so many different moves. Some people copied my moved and it worked for them. That is very cool but it's also very rare if he makes the same identical moves he makes in this video. You really need to flank him and corner him like I did so he is screwed. Have spare pieces laying around that you can use to "waste" a move, forcing him to do something. And he will either move towards you or away. If he moves towards you, you can probably move back a square and take his piece. Its like a mix of playing aggressively and defensively.
@@mutcoo I'm glad you stuck with it, though. Over all the plat was a bitch to get. So many grindy aspects of the game. And bugs, too. But we are in lockdown/quarantine so nothin else to do lol. Cheers on your victory
@@josephbiondi8427 thank you, my friend. i mostly deal with the hard and grindy parts first and then play the main missions and it is a smooth ride after that. i played towards platinum on ps3 years ago, and i was stuck at washington conversations because of the bug. that's the only thing i fear now lol
Thank you everyone for the comments. If shareplay is possible, I wouldn't mind playing it again. I know this here is a roadblock for most people and the plat. I am on PS4
Would you mind completing this for me?
@@alucardhellsing7178 are you on PS4? I can give it a shot, but I havent played it since, and this was my only victory. Might need a few warmup games. I think I still remember how to do it. Its really not hard once you know how to play, but it still requires some skill, and probably luck, just like Chess. Its been about a year since i last played this game, since i posted the video
@@josephbiondi8427 lol I actually got really lucky and won the game immediately after i left my comment
@@alucardhellsing7178 good shit. I may reinstall this game again and try playing fanorana again, a year later. To see if I can still beat it. Ill post the video, if so.
@@josephbiondi8427 hey friend can you help me I’m on ps5 my psn is KINGGGRRR would be much appreciated
2 hours in he not doing the same thing god dam it think I'm going to cry 😭
I AM crying
Trying to go for the Plat and every time I follow this, I do the first three moves correctly then Achilles does some crazy stuff that gets rid of my half board and I can’t do nothing 🤦♂️
One of the best people alive I’m subbing to u
Your opening strategy helped me get this trophy. Thank you so much bro!
tried following this, but he always makes a different move on the second turn, and can never get the same outcome as you
Sorry to hear that. This video wasn't exactly posted to be a guide to follow these exact steps to beat him,, more like me posting my achievement of beating him. I really doubt you can try and copy the moves in any video on here, as the ai player can and usually will, make different moves. I had to lose alot of games to understand the rules. I'd question his moves, and understand why he moved away from me, etc. The hardest part of the game is when he has only a few pieces left. I lost alot of games, but once I figured out how to play, and I guess with a bit of luck, he was beatable. I tried to copy moves from video, too. Even tried to mirror the moves from an app. Honestly it was easier to just learn how to play, rather than chance my luck he makes the same moves in a video. Learn how to play and come back. Dont give up. Its not impossible. Instead of getting frustrated, turn that to a learning experience. Thats what I did.
@@josephbiondi8427 i can actually play this already and believe me, its pure luck. Even my friend who plays this in tournaments has said its too hard.
Did you get it ?
Would share play work? Perhaps I can try and beat it for you. I've been wanting to play it again. Im on PS4 tho
@@josephbiondi8427 can you please help me to win?
3 years later still so helpful.
Thank you Very much
i hate this fucking trophy so much. everytime im winning the ai will end up getting 4 turns back to back and i rarely get more than 1 its so aggrivating
at the 1 minute mark, he cleared the board with me. I play this game irl and am pretty good at this, but f**k the AI it makes every move perfect.
Would it be possible to share play? Perhaps I can try and beat it for you. Or at least near the end, give you back the remote and tell you what piece to move. I wanna play it again.
That is if you are on PS4.
@@josephbiondi8427 he can you help me with this brother I'm on ps5 ? would be much appreciated
@@theapexrayyan1512 I'm on PS4 still. I haven't played since I posted this video. Its been a few years, I barely remember how to play. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot but I cant make any promises that I'll win
I know this is three years later but thank you so much for this video
Glad it could help 🙏
On the fourth turn, he moves a piece differently. im screwed 😢
I finally did it! Here you are helping even brazilian people
Really glad to hear that. These comments make my day. Thank you 🙏 congrats!
PRO TIP: Download a Fanorona game on your phone, put the IA on the highest difficult, choose the white side and then in the game (AC3) you just dont start, let the IA start, so in the Fanorona mobile you copy every move of the AC3 and in AC3 you copy every move of the mobile game. Did it in the first attempt this way.
How?
Thank you, most usefull help ever 🙂
I've never hated a game like I hate this one!
This game is just fucking me its literally now not even capturing all in its possibilities
You are the king my friend. Thank you soooo much.
Unfortunately the AI does not use the same moves every time, so I still get trashed. Not going to waste more time on this, things like this only belong in games when they are fun and winneable, like the card game in Witcher III. This is just annoying and frustrating. Pity.
Why my opponent never do the same 2nd move like yours?! 😭😭😭
38 try and he don’t do like yours…😖
Tried to do this with Achilles and he always does some crazy move that always ruins it
Thing is the AI is too smart, on all difficulties it never one does a mistake. I saw a reddit post about someone cloning the AI and putting the versus together, they're still playing after 8 years. It's a stupid poorly designed infinity game.
Unless you get the EXACT right move and the AIs picks the EXACT opening that forces it into a certain play you're utterly screwed, nothing you can do to win.
Thank you so much for this video!! I finally got the trophy after hours of research and attempts. I know you can't win just by copying a video, but it got me very close. Thank you so much!!!
It's possible you can get lucky copying this or any video, you can still win as long as the ai makes the exact same move as the video. But I found it'll actually be alot easier to learn how to play the game (self taught) and I beat him effortlessly. I studied his moves and asked myself why he went forward or backward or diagonal, and I learned that way. Through many mistakes.
Bollocks!!! He plays it differently now. It’s driving me mental is this!
Dude this isnt a guide or a means to mirror my moves. The ai will make different moves than in the video most of the time. You have a slight chance he will make the same moves but its a long shot. I tried to cheat too and it took too long that way. Its alot easier to learn how to play the game. Its actually not that hard once you get the hang of it. Watch my video but dont try and copy it. Study my moves and realize Why I made those moves. I lost alot of games but I didnt let the frustration get the better of me. Each loss was a learning experience.
Joseph Biondi yeah buddy. I was just being impatient. I beat him in the end thanks to you. The game broke on me tho on the delivery requests being stuck on 66% so I can’t get all the achievements haha. It Was literally the last thing I had to finish. Guess I’ll have to restart the game all over again....One day 🤦♂️😂....Anyway thanks for your help.
@@toxicozzy2k The game bugged on me too with those delivery requests. I literally had to follow a video, find the person in the town, run up to them, And then thats when the envelope or package icon appeared above them. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm realy glad this video was able to help people. 🙏
@Joseph Biondi Holy shit!!! Thank you so much!! Just tried that out just now and it bloody worked!! He had glitched out in Boston. Just got the last achievement 😃. You’re the best dude!
@@toxicozzy2k wow thank you. I'm almost tempted to play this again, a year later, and make a "how to" guide. Kinda getting irritated by the dislikes or negative comments, all by people looking for a shortcut. You have a rare chance at copyingy moves or anyones moves in a y video because the ai can, and most likely will, make different moves. And then what? If you dont know how to play, you're f****d. Thats why I suggest to everyone you learn how to play the game. This cant really be cheesed. Not easily at least. It may take longer to try and cheese your victory, where if you just knew how to play the game, you can beat this in 7 minutes like in my video. Also there is no time limit so you can take all the time you want to plan out your moves. But I still get people coming here looking for a shortcut. All the dislikes must be from people who tried to cheat by copying my video, when I made it abundantly clear this is Not a how-to guide, nor can it be cheesed. Its a very very small chance he will make the same counters. And if he don't, youre screwed. Its much easier to learm how to play so you can counter his moves. I tried to cheat too and that shit took too long and was too hard. Learning how to play was alot easier and faster. With each loss, i learned something. And as with anything in life, a game or whatever, any loss should be a learning experience. But cheers to your victory. Its no easy task. and out of all the AC games, not counting Valhalla (yet) or Chronicles, this was The hardest to platinum. Because of the optional objectives you must do in one go, not stackable like other AC games, and then these little board games, not to mention all the bugs that are in the game. But there's wsys around that. As I didnt let anything stop me from getting this plat. And what better time to do it than the beginning of the pandemic lol

Thanks dude, your video helped me win this game finally
The AI plays like a settler that has been playing these games since childhood. I play like someone who has never played or heard of them. Ubisoft expecting players to learn obscure strategy games from the ground up just for a challenge is frustrating. I admire folks like you who keep a level-head and learn from every loss, I am not so measured. This is going to be a miserable process to get through.
@@danielflanard8274 I did it during the pandemic/lockdown. I spent 3 full days learning this. Instead of getting frustrated, which is easier said than done. I learned from my mistakes and why I lost, or how did I take so many if his pieces on a lucky move or why did he take so many of my pieces. I had unlimited amounts of time to learn this. As for platinums, if you have unlimited amounts of time and patience, any platinum is obtainable. If you through enough crap against the wall, some of it will eventually stick. It is a maddening, repetitive cycle. It's easier to learn how to play this game cuz once you figure it out, it's easier than it looks. And it's very rewarding once you do win. You'll never need to play this ever again.
@@josephbiondi8427
"it's very rewarding once you do win. You will never need to play this again."
That's the kicker isn't it, spending 10s of hours learning how to do something effectively once so that you never have to do it again. Adaptability is a good quality to foster but this sure is a punishing way to go about it. Currently I am just trying to finish the club challenges so that I can get the Completionist achievement. The main obstacle right now is earning 500 in gambling winnings. 2/5 of the way there so far via bowls, not a fun mini-game. I don't know if I will bother with Original Gamer. Learning how to play Poker for a few different games and Dominos for Red Dead Redemption 2 took me long enough.
If I do decide to go for it, I will keep your success in mind. Congrats on the accomplishment, there is a reason the unlock rate for this trophy/achievement is so low and many of people who do get it use shortcuts. Beating it through wit alone is no small feat. Learning anything through brute-force trial & error is exhausting.

I actually love u thanks so much I copied what u did and got the trophy
Holy shit, wow. Thank you. That made my day. I'm no expert. I lost a bunch of times but instead of getting frustrated, I learned & studied from my mistakes and understood the game (for the most part) and its rules. Id study his moves and ask myself "why did he do that" or "why did he move away from me" this was all I needed for the plat as well. It took me a few days of grinding & learning. I beat it legit. No mirroring the moves of an app or anything. I am so glad my little achievement video helped inspire others to play. Never thought my "strategy" here would break the game and help others to beat him too. Thank you so much 😇
Did the first 2 moves in this video which got me to win thank you!
Just wondering, I 100%'d this game a few years ago so I can't remember, but do you HAVE to win the expert version of this mini game? Aren't there different difficulties of it around the homestead. Is the trophy not 'win one of each game on the homestead'? so can't you play it somewhere else where it's easier and win that?
"All three games must be won on the Homestead. You must initiate and win each of the three games outside of a mission for it to count towards the trophy."
It's in the description for the "Original Gamer" trophy on every guide.
It’s a long shot but if you are able and willing to help I’d like to see if you’d be down to SharePlay with me and tell me what moves to make? I’m perplexed at this game and can’t wrap my head around it.
Its been about 2 years since I played this. I'm not sure if I remember exactly how to play it, I still have an idea I guess. It'd be easier for me to just play for you via Shareplay rather than tell you what moves. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. Cant promise a victory though.
Helped me just the few first moves. Other i needed to do myself because the AI doesnt do the same
BROOO thanks for the guide 2024 i jus won the game
Oye que pasa si achiles y yo tenemos tres piezas los dos ,se puede ganar o te pide tablas o qué?
If he asks for a draw, unfortunately its not a victory. I just hope you learn from the mistakes. Try instead of moving forward, try pulling back
Why is it in my fucking game and in every tutorial my opponents do the opposite of what everyone does
This one worked so well for me. However the ai did an unusual move. But I was able to remove all of his pieces and win.
Been at this for 6 hours I got want to get the original gamer achievement
I don't get it. I've won a Fanorona, a Morris and a Bowls game but I still haven't gotten the trophy. I've won two Bowls games, two Morris games and one Fanorona game. What else am I supposed to do?
You did those games at the Homestead ? They gotta be there cuz it's the hardest difficulty.
This game was kinda buggy, to be honest. Didn't have trouble with trophies popping but certain things weren't spawning on the map and I'd have to watch videos and run up and find the courier in one of the towns cuz tbe icom wasn't there on the mall, more than one time
@@josephbiondi8427 Nah mate, I just had to win the bowls game against the two brothers in the middle of the map. I actually beat Fanorona and Morris again thanks to vids like this Morris wasn't difficult at all though there were many permutations in Fanorona bc the nerds in Ubisoft thought it'd be funny to make it even more difficult, adding more permutations in the remastered version. Though I managed to beat it thanks to a brilliant comment in one of these vids. It just told me to corner the opponent's pieces and then take them out. If I hadn't stumbled upon that solution I'd still be trying to beat it today I reckon 😂
@@AJK1DD I remember having trouble with Bowls each time I played it, especially against George Washington, cuz I needed to hear all his dialogue. So those few Bowls games took a while. And Fanorana took days, like 3 full days of constant defeats til I finally learned what to do.
@@josephbiondi8427 Fanorona was more difficult for me bc it took me the same amount oftime as it did for you. Just fucking impossible mate. Those fucking non-wife or gf having nerds over at Ubisoft probably thought they had struck gold with these shitty little games. It really pissed me off while I was playing the game. Bowls against Washington was annoying but it didn't take me too long. I beat him the sixth time I think bc by then I had played bowls a lot and I knew how to play really well. I always played second and I focused on throwing my balls on top of the opponents and making sure mine were closer to the smaller ball. Hey, at least the dialogue with Washington was interesting wasn't it? 😂
I beat this finally I used your first two moves and freestyled a win
Nice 😊 really glad to hear that. Enjoy your platinum.
I watched a video on six man Morris bc it was driving me crazy and the dude said fanorona was the hardest one so I came to watch this before I played, and I ended up beating the guy first try :|
Did my video help you at all?
I wish I could give you more than just one thumb. Thanks for that mate.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
He keeps offering a draw, does he ever forfeit?
No I don't believe so. And offering a draw doesn't count as a win, unfortunately.
Yeah he never forfeits. I ended learning to play the game and finally managed to win lol
@@thetxkidd2013 lol me too. You can't really cheat this. You can, but it'll take so long if everything goes according to plan. It was just easier to learn how to play instead
@@josephbiondi8427 You really can't. I've tried many methods from many videos and my opponent always made a different move.
@@thetxkidd2013 I know. It's rare if he makes the same moves as in this video or others. But unfortunately there is no cheese method to this. It can work but the chances are very slim.

been doing this for few trys never got the same

I could give it a shot but can't make any promises. I haven't played this in 2 years. I kinda remember how to play.
Your video has gotten me the furthest I end up with 3 or 4 against his 3. But I suck at this 🤣
I sucked at this game, too. I spent days losing a lot , but learning from my mistakes. I studied his moves, why he moved forward or away, and the consequences. And winged it from there. Rather than get frustrated from losing, learn from those mistakes and understand them. Easier said than done, I know. I did this during lockdown in the beginning of the pandemic and I had a ton of time to waste here lol
Thank you very much, still works and the best way to defeat PC, for remastered ver PS5 2023 . 🎉❤😊
Watched your videos but my plays are similar just one you just have to learn the game there is a small amount of Luck but it is a lot of skill you have to really start to analyse all the computers possible moves in the second half of the game, if the flow is crap sometimes it's good to lose a piece just to move forward sometimes a simple mistake isn't always a bad thing additionally sometimes waiting the computer and sacrificing a piece isn't necessarily bad as long as you have planned ahead.
This is impossible I cant do it after few hours, I hate the guy who thought this achievement was a good idea
Dude can you please shareplay with me and beat him
I could give it a shot. I haven't played since I posted this video. I'd need to watch this again and try to remember how to play. I may not get it done on the first shot. I cant guarantee ill win. I was really "in the zone" last year and really focused and committed. But I'm willing to try at least
@@josephbiondi8427 Actually I finally ended up winning 200 hundred long attempts later 😂 appreciate you responding
@@SonGokuuuuuuu congrats! yea no worries. I was serious about giving it a shot. It took me days, full days, of non stop grinding and losing a lot of games, which is how I "taught" myself how to play.

Does this tragedy help with Achilles???
No it doesn't
i fukin hate this trophy Broo i cant Do ITT.
already beat this shit thanks to u bruv
Its all good till achilles using a different move
How many times do I have to point out everywhere THIS IS NOT A GUIDE. YOU CANNOT COPY MOVES FROM ANY VIDEO, AS HE WILL MOST LIKELY NOT MAKE THE SAME MOVES IN YOUR GAME? There's a tiny chance it can work but it'll take you a lot longer to try and cheat vs learning the game and playing for real. So if he makes a different move, you'll know what to do and understand why you lost. That's the only way I won, by losing a lot and learning from my mistakes
2024 y me sirvio este video muchas gracias
I mostly had to wing it after move 3 couldn’t get him to do what he was meant to but I got it eventually using those first 3 moves each time, thanks for the help. 😤👍

This is the worst assassins creed for 2 reasons; the abysmal controls and glitches along with the bullshit fucking board games.
😂well, Valhalla isnt much better, as far as glitches, actually. And Unity crashed on me two or three times during the last mission. But yeah, these homestead board games are a real obstacle for players to obtain the plat. I dont agree with it either as a mandatory requirement. Although, on the bright side, being that this is the remastered version, there's no bullshit multiplayer you gotta do, and hope to find active lobbies. If it wasnt for multiplayer, Black Flag would be perfect. Still may be my favorite of the series. I liked them all, just some alot more than others. It took me two days to figure out this game. It is frustrating, I know. But instead of being angry and clouding my judgement with frustration, I looked at things differently. Like ok, why did I lose? Why did he make that move (either away from me or towards me) the rules are weird. By the time I got to this, I kinda knew what I was doing. This was my only victory at this game. I cheesed Nine Men's Morris, and Bowls was a bitch. Not to mention also having to play Bowls against Washington, just for the extra dialogue in order to 100%. As annoying as Fanorana was, I think those underground tunnels were the biggest waste of time and clutter in any AC game. At least if there was treasure down there. They were pointless and I never used them. Also I gotta say the optional objectives here are the hardest in any AC game, as they dont stack. You have to get it perfect in one attempt. Ill try to get them done as I'm playing the new missions, but if I fail, I'll keep going and just replay whichever incomplete missions at the end.
The courrier missions were so bugged, too. Very frustrating & annoying game. Could have been awesome if not for all the bullshit
@@josephbiondi8427 yeah I still need to get my online trophies in black flag.
@@josephbiondi8427 I haven’t done the 100% yet on AC3 but can’t imagine it’s gonna be any fun either. I haven’t done the underground shit either, never understood that from the start.
@@alfie_met8136 it took me a few full days. Its quite boring. You gotta do 1 game of each type but after that, you can get all the other trophies in the Wolfpack round, which you can do solo. Aim for the challenges, like playing on certain maps or playing as certain characters for that extra xp boost. Its gonna be boring after a little while so prepare yourself. Listen to music or somethin so you don't lose your mind.
@@alfie_met8136 yeah unfortunately you have to do alot of bullshit to 100%. The naval missions and their optional objectives were no joke. Either whatever they were (not taking damage, or beating all the ships under a time constraint -- cant remember) but no fun. Youll have to find Washington, i think you meet him in Sequence 8 if I remember correctly. I think you can load up a mission which he is in, or when you first meet him. And talk to him and get him to say all his dialogue. And you will have to play a game of Bowls with him. Ill assume you have to win in order for it to count (just to be safe) Try and find a good video of a tour guide showing you the tunnels. The video I watched, i followed step by step, and even hs got lost, so it was like blind leading the blind, but he finds his way and gets it done. You can always play these videos on half or quarter speed so you dont get lost. That tunnel shit is really confusing and you can get lost easily. That shit was boring too. And you gotta do a bunch of it in NY and Boston. Itll take a while. Im not even so sure the plat is worth it in all honestly. You really gotta do alot of bullshit for it. Alot of tedious pain in the ass tasks.
The hunting challenges were ok I guess. Just gotta identify them.
One big time waste was updating your journal at the homestead, where you have to observe everyone there working and doing different tasks. Thats gonna take a while too. (Boring!) Youll be running around the homestead in eagle vision observing them. I think if theyre yellow, that means theyre doing something new and that activity hasnt been scanned. Its been a while, i could be wrong. I think i remember Red being a color, too.
You have to do all side quests for everyone in the homestead and reach max level with everyone there and then you gotta do a bunch of crafting for some courrier missions. So thats why you need to be leveled up at the homestead. Youll need certain wood or materials to craft items, which you have to give to someone. And some of those are bugged, too. Not all the courrier missions have the Letter or Package icon above the character you have to see. Again, another video is necessary to find Waldo. Once you approach them, the icon will appear above their head. If you can tolerate the bugs and tedious shit and pain in the ass optional objectives, you can do it. Its just very time consuming. Its entirely up to you if you feel if its worth it or not. I did it back when the virus started. Since I had all the time in the world to do this.
Omg thanks i won just because of this video
I am truly amazed at how many people say this video helped them. Wow. This was just me posting my proud victorious win! If you get something from this, then awesome. If I was a skilled TH-camr, I would make an actual instructional video.
@@josephbiondi8427 brooo this helped allot,Thanks😁
@@gabrielharo2837 wow, I really am speechless.
@@josephbiondi8427 i was tryng this for 3h then i saw the video and won
Wow.. Well I'd hate to admit how long I tried playing this lol maybe 2 full days. I just learned from my losses and mistakes and figured out how to play eventually.
Amazing video - perplexed for several hours while using every other video for help, being 8-2 up etc & still losing 🤯.
Although the AI didn’t use the same manoeuvres as this video - the go first and first few moves puts you in the best start possible and remember you don’t have to take the extra movement as often will leave you exposed for a massacre 😭.
After watching this video I completed it 2nd go (first time was bc I clearly messed up - tears were blurring my eyes)
P.s. I never normally leave compliments but next to my child’s birth & 15000ft sky dive - BEST feeling I’ve ever had 5️⃣⭐️
Wow thank you. This is probably the best compliment I have received yet on this video. Although this wasnt an instructional guide or a cheese method, simply just my victory, cuz for me too it was an amazing feeling to have beaten this. You cant exactly copy/mirror moves from a video, as the ai can and usually will make different opposing moves leaving you clueless. For me, the easiest way to beat this was to learn how to play the game. It took me days, probably a hundred losses or so. Instead of getting frustrated, (which I was) I used it as a learning experience. I learned from my mistakes and questioned his moves, whether it be moving towards me or away from me. After awhile I kinda got the hang of it. This was my only victory at this game. I probably would and should make an instructional guide on how to play. I'm all for cheating too, but for me, cheating was harder than just learning the game. Learning how to fight so I'll be prepared for whatever happens. Its been 6+ months since I last played this. I'm not sure if I remember how to play lol. I'm really glad my video helped you. Most of these comments have been wonderful to read. This was just my victory, I never expected it to help any one. Really cool. Its actually a better feeling than beating the game. Glad I posted this. Congrats. Enjoy your platinum.
This has to be the dumbest trophy on any assassins creed man guy just predicts everything ffs
I love you so much!
AC3 is the worst game in the franchise for different reasons and the Platinum is one of them, I hate this game so much
I officially hate Achilles
That moment when the AI doesn’t do what the video does
Can you tell me wtf you do then😂
@@inviz835
Quit and try again lol
The bot doesn't do anyone this
Thank you so much
Bruh i really hate this trophy
I did too. I lost so many times not knowing what I'm doing, thats how I learned.
@@josephbiondi8427 i did it today!!! Thank you very much i copy your strategy and i win
Now the morris game is the last one , do you have a startegy ?
@@Abo3aBD229 no But there are videos out there you can easily copy exaxtly what the Nine Men's Morris video shows. Like that you cant mess up. You can easily cheese that one. I watched a video on it too 😎it is flawless. Easier than Six Men's Morris
Been stuck for four days video is not helping very much I did better when I didn’t know the rules and I was doing it on my own not helpful
This video is NOT A GUIDE. Never said it was or intended it to be. This is simply my accomplishment...
Sorry for the hate I was ticked off in desperate
Help what if I draw him can that get me the achievement
@@wrightroenigk I'm just tired of reading nasty comments on here from people trying to copy my moves, and bitter when it don't work out. You can't really cheat this game. There is a slim chance you can copy my moves and the computer will play along. Some people got lucky using this video, others didn't. It wasn't posted to be a "how to" guide. It says so in the description. I purposely wrote that cuz I am tired of reading hateful comments.
@@wrightroenigk no, unfortunately a draw does not count as a victory.
I love u❤❤
Thank you!!
Thank u man, i can do it
Bro, u the best 😎
Thank u dude ur amazing
10 lousy dollars!
You'd pay that ?
I hate you Assassin's creed
