Not only that but if you got caught by the police carrying a concealed blade on the Underside of your arm nowadays you would be in trouble with the law but if you simply got caught carrying a concealed taser they probably wouldn't give a shit so long as they didn't know it could kill a person with one taste
Syndicate had two hidden blades. Its just that the right handed blade didn’t have a mechanism and it was pulled out of the sleeve. This can be seen in multi kill combat scenes and shows a lot about their training in multiple combatants.
It's funny how the original and first blade is worn over the wrist, and then mistakenly worn under the wrist which caused a whole group of assassins to lose their finger. Only to be called out by a Norwegian Raider.
even funnier is the fact that after a certain point in the Assassin history they stopped cutting off their fingers cuz it became very obvious that the ppl with 9 fingers were Assassins 😂 a mistake which was turned into a commitment which ended up being the easiest way to expose them
@@josesoares4601 if Bayek saw what was happening to their ring fingers, he would think the Hidden Ones were crazy. It wasn’t his intention to remove his ring finger because it was an accidental loss, caused by him having to kill Eudoros.
Is there a blade on the hook? I always though Ezio used the eagle beak part of the hook for assassinations. Does it also have a blade compartment as well?
i miss og AC style and also lil note, i rly like how as ezio aged u not only hear obviously his voice age but also his demeanor at first he was a young buck with a bit of impulsivity. then in revelations u see a hardened master assassin
Its funny. How the first hidden one made the mistake of wearing the blade underneath and now all assassins wear it this way and lose the ring finger to use it (until altair altered the blade) while the viking who is not an assassin or hidden one wore it the correct way
Honestly, I played assassins creed origins, odyssey, and Valhalla before going back and playing the older ones so my experience is real skewed. But I will say I understand why they mixed up the formula, it had been roughly the same experience for a lot, a lot of games and when Unity flopped they decided they needed to go a different direction. Understandable. But it’s been four games now, can we please play as someone who’s actually an assassin at the very least, please and thank you.
I think unity and syndicate are really appreciated for what they were nowadays. Especially after unity got all those bug fixes. People (me included) love those two and I just started origins but I miss the actual AC formula. If I play AC I don’t want an open-word RPG that takes 1000hours to finish.
If the would have done the same again like the first few Ac Games, the gamers would habe accoused ubisoft to be like ea or Activision, so they have done smth diffrent, and now they get hate for changing the concept, i really dont know What's up with the gaming Community since the past few years, but regardless what gaming Companys Do they get hate for that
Seems like it wouldn't be as effective though since you can't use it to stab as deep because your fist would be in the way (unless the blade is very long). Your fist would make contact with the opponent before the blade goes deep enough. If it's under your arm, you can at least move your wrist up and out of the way for the blade to go in deeper.
@@Vel_D It's way better to have a hidden blade strapped to your arm than holding a shiv. For one a shiv can be dropped or taken from you during hand to hand combat. If you have ever played Assassin's Creed lll and Assassin's Creed Origins you would see that in both of those games the protagonist is getting choked to death but the use of their Hidden Blades saved them.
Hidden blade’s greatest advantage was that it was a one hit kill machine due to it not being revealed to anyone. After it gets revealed you can’t really fight with it (Unless you’re Ezio and a fucking badass)
The game is....just wow. The atmosphere of Constantinople, the gameplay and the satisfaction of using the hook blade, the story and the perfect ending to a trilogy....it really hurts me that there are many who hates the game. AC2 might be a better game critically, but for me personally....Revelations is the one I have an emotional connection with.
in AC Revelations, Altair said the Apple could make you see the past and future...that's why he built a wrist gun (because he saw Ezio's weapon in the future)
Why are you all complaining ac2 literally has a statue of a Persian named Darius with a blade above instead of under. They literally implied that he was the first to use the blade in ac2, then they solidified it in Odyssey.
Darius's statue in Ac ll has the blade under his wrist though like every other protagonist except Eivor. It's seems he turned the blade under shortly after Xerxes's death
@@obsidianwarrior5580 Yeah, its stupid how he thought the best way to get close to Xerxes was to act like one of his guards. Ridiculous, no such thing existed before the brotherhood was formed. Jesus fok. Is it really so far-fetched to think about putting on a disguise to get close to your assassination target?
@@DZ-1987 Read the comment properly I didn't say it was stupid he acted like an assassin I said it was stupid he acted like an assassin from the *brotherhood*. How he dressed very similar to the assassins we know today, how he had tenants waaay too similar to the brotherhood and how he literally even had his own brotherhood of assassins in the DLC. It's all a ludicrous amount of coincidences and probably the worst offender is the fact Darius does the Leap of Faith, something taught to Bayek from his father and Darius had no way of knowing how to perform. So yeah, it is ridiculous.
In all honesty favorite hidden blades are split between Unity and black flag. Black flag seems more bold and unity is like what I picture a classic hidden blade would be
Tbh after Eivor put the hidden blade on the front part of his arm, completely revealing it to the public who would see it, it has just lost its true purpose. It would’ve been cool to see Eivor’s finger get cut off for the hidden blade. Rn if you unlock the Basim outfit in AC Valhalla the hidden blade is concealed properly, and it’s a much better design than having the hidden blade out in the open
The thing people forget is that Eivor isn’t an Assassin, or a Hidden One. He’s a Viking, and Vikingr were very up-front about their plans to kill something. Thus, the overhanded technique.
I still love how other than ezio Arno was the only one taken in truly by the brother hood, ps Connor doesn’t count to me because it was only him and Achilles
I started with AC2 then went to Brotherhood. Didnt play again til black flag came out. Then Unity (slept on nowadays). Xbox Games w/Gold finally let me play the OG & rogue. Still have to play 3, Syndicate to present & any DLCs with all the games
Beforr origin is out, if i recall correctly Altair is the only assassin to use a hidden blade. You can even see every assassin's wrist on ac 1 and revelations, only Altair has the blade
I love all assassins creed games. I have played them all, nearly every single one of them to 100% (AC3 still gives me hadaches :D) and i have to say, im a huge fan of the AC3 hidden blade! really close after that AC2 and then the Phantom blade :3
Pressure trigger, most likely has a switch that the back of the palm hits to release and when not pressed in the switch brings the blade back, or its a pulley system with a ring on the finger when pulled the blade comes out and the string is less tightened the blade returns
Explanations are vague till this very day. it ain't that far off from your regular switchblade, just that the 'button' is placed somewhere along your forearm muscle, triggering it using a very specific manner, instead of being pushed with a finger.
All those upgrades to the blades over the years and what did Desmond storm Abstergo with? A simple hidden blade and a knife... like a putz. Historical Assassins: Amazing Gear, Modern Assassin: Piss Poor Minimum.

Basim: The blade should ride on the underside of the arm, to conceal it from the enemy Darius: Are you serious? This wasn't supposed to be a "hidden" blade, it was just an assassin's tool. But you guys wore it in reverse and lost your fucking finger.
Dual blades are only awarded to highly skilled and ranked Master Assassins, like Ezio. Connor just took Achille's blades, Edward got stolen ones, and Shay already was a master before his betrayal. So, it made sense for Arno and the Frye twins to only have one.
@@manoeleduardoaraujofilho782 Ezio had 2 hidden blades in AC2 and he wasn’t a Master Assassin on that one. He wasn’t even officially inducted into the Brotherhood.
@@manoeleduardoaraujofilho782 brilliant, almost every thing you just said was wrong. Shay wasn't a master assassin but every assassin at that time had 2 hidden blades. Frye twins had 2 hidden blades each not one like arno. It's just a culture thing. Every creed has their own tools and techniques. The Paris creed used one instead of 2.
I feel that Oddysey hidden blade dlc was a waste i would have Made Kassandra grab it and Kill the leader and that by accident she put it on the way the Assassin's put on in modern times
@@joaquimlopes257 only because he was wearing blades someone scavenged from dead assassins as trophies, until he lost them after being sent to jail and received his own pair from Ah Tabai for the breakout. Most of Edward's actual attempts at stealth consist of him tailing people for eavesdropping purposes then going for the kill while he's at it, otherwise he basically makes no attempt at ever actually being hidden and is an open fighter out in the seas. Dude shoots people up and wields twin swords no fucks given, the hidden blades are just there
@@natchu96 but they are there for stealth in the cities, and why would he be stealth when he his boarding a fucking ship?? Or taking a fort?, also he didn't take duncan ones because they were broken but there are a lot of situations were they are fiting, being an open world gane you can use them or not its your choice
@@dubstrap6095 If it can spring out & stab someone as intended, then it does it job just fine, & thus is practical. if by practical you mean it has to be 'stealthy', yeah sure, like wearing it on the underside of the forearm OUTSIDE clothing keeps the blade hidden in the first place.
actually he lost his finger in one cutscene in a future mission of the game, but his finger only comes off because he used the blade with his fist closed so because of this his finger was cuted, and after that in the further centurys the assassins removed their finger for using the blade with the closed fist and for show devotion to the brotherhood, until Altair changes the design of the hidden blade ( sorry for the poor english, I'm still learning )
because bayek is the founder of assassin's brotherhood thats why after his first assassination when he lost his finger accidentally , bayek definitely warns other assassins to be careful as in haste anyone can lose a finger during fight, but assassin's used this thing as a tradition to show their commitment to assassin's brotherhood or creed
imma be honest they shouldn't even have gave the main character of ac Valhalla a fucking hidden blade he isn't an assassin why the hell are they giving him one lol were they just passing hidden blades out like candy bc last time i checked u had to be an assassin to get the hidden blade and eivor is not
Didn't they use to tell us you had to remove your ring figure for the blade to work and then Leonardo DaVinci did improvements so you didn't have to do that? 7:25 There it is wtf. But then they show us that wasn't the case in ancient Egypt. Classic Ubisoft....
@@joaquimlopes257 that was an accident though. He had a closed fist over the blade while struggling with someone and to save himself he had to extend the blade causing his finger to get severed in the process. Aya never lost her finger due to how the blade was built and neither did anyone else, they all did it voluntarily.
no shit the blade worked regardless, it'd just take your ring finger clean off if you don't pull your hand back. That was always the case. Bayek's fuckup got made into a tradition. realistically you could probably not even have a hand at all and the thing would work.
Odyssey shouldn't even be an AC game. It has absolutely nothing to do with any of the games. It literally takes place before the Assassin's were around. If you took out the modern day sequences and just named it Odyssey, it would still be a good game. It is literally just a disgrace that they call it Assassin's Creed
Crazy how it takes place before because the time period it was way before the other games. What did you expect from a game that takes place so far back in time? Its almost like you can still assassinate targets in that game too. Also crazy that you didn't get a hidden blade because there was only one person who had it at that time and that had already been established since ACll. How dare them try to make a game so far in the past where something didn't exist. How dare them try to spread out to other places in the world in their glory days. How dare them make a game with a similar concept and change a few things that didn't line up with an already established history.
I believe they focused on tools more than weapons. I just hoped that some of those tools really made it into proper combat. Like the grapple hook of the Frye twins where they could hook enemies, The Frye’s syringe with multiple types of injections, and more. The phantom blade is the most interesting as it is a portable projectile weapon that is silent than a gun. I just with a lot of the weapons and tools had smooth quick shots and can be implemented in combat.
I think one thing that may apply with some hidden blades is the knowledge the "Great" Altair might have gained from the Apple, it may have given him a knowledge from the Isu, or from future man made craftsmanship, the gun or the hand cannon, which truly wasn't created until around the time of Ezio (based on game lore, not historical)
It’s funny how Bayek basically created a whole unnecessary tradition of cutting off your ring finger for centuries. Eivor actually wears the hidden blade correctly, as Darius also wore it on the top of his wrist.
The Origins hidden blade scene was my favorite. Bayek was never trained with something like this and almost took his hand off. A realistic touch because people need training to use tools properly.
Only the modern hidden blade is missing, although some assassins still use blades Shawn showed us that the hidden blade can become a lethal tazer because nowadays a blade is more an inconvenience in a world with guns and bulletproof vests

It doesn't rotate. It just slides out of the compartment on the forearm. We see Connor use it completely detached from the gauntlet.

Dual blades are only awarded to highly skilled and ranked Master Assassins, like Ezio. Connor just took Achille's blades, Edward got stolen ones, and Shay already was a master before his betrayal. So, it made sense for Arno and the Frye twins to only have one.
@@manoeleduardoaraujofilho782 Ezio had 2 hidden blades in AC2 and he wasn’t a Master Assassin on that one. He wasn’t even officially inducted into the Brotherhood.
@@manoeleduardoaraujofilho782 brilliant, almost every thing you just said was wrong. Shay wasn't a master assassin but every assassin at that time had 2 hidden blades. Frye twins had 2 hidden blades each not one like arno. It's just a culture thing. Every creed has their own tools and techniques. The Paris creed used one instead of 2.
Manoel Eduardo Araujo Filho shay wasn’t even close to a master assasin and ezio didn’t become a master assasin till brotherhood
When assassin's Creed mirage is out, update it.
The best thing in the season1 and 2 that is I can kill the civilian 😂
I feel that Oddysey hidden blade dlc was a waste i would have Made Kassandra grab it and Kill the leader and that by accident she put it on the way the Assassin's put on in modern times
“This is not a mistake this is a devotion”
Hate to break it to you but the “debotion” started from a mistake 💀
You forgot the shock blades mate!
You know looking at Valhalla's cutscene it kinda feels stiff
Where's Shay?
I dont know why i can’t use hidden blade in ac odyssey or maybe i didn’t play it in the right way
,,Eivors blade isnt hidden anymore!". As if he didnt carry 2 greatswords and a bow on his back.
Edward carries 4 pistols and 2 swords and its still hidden
@@joaquimlopes257 only because he was wearing blades someone scavenged from dead assassins as trophies, until he lost them after being sent to jail and received his own pair from Ah Tabai for the breakout.
Most of Edward's actual attempts at stealth consist of him tailing people for eavesdropping purposes then going for the kill while he's at it, otherwise he basically makes no attempt at ever actually being hidden and is an open fighter out in the seas. Dude shoots people up and wields twin swords no fucks given, the hidden blades are just there
@@natchu96 but they are there for stealth in the cities, and why would he be stealth when he his boarding a fucking ship?? Or taking a fort?, also he didn't take duncan ones because they were broken but there are a lot of situations were they are fiting, being an open world gane you can use them or not its your choice
Unity was the most assassins creed assassins creed
So the assassin were all a legacy from Darius
It’s evolving just backwards
bro that outro is too loud
Female Eivor and Kassandra are canon btw
So fun fact eivor was the last the make it right with the blade 😏
If right means impractical as fuck, yes
@@dubstrap6095 If it can spring out & stab someone as intended, then it does it job just fine, & thus is practical. if by practical you mean it has to be 'stealthy', yeah sure, like wearing it on the underside of the forearm OUTSIDE clothing keeps the blade hidden in the first place.
Why does the origins blade not remove part of the finger
That cutscene was before the tradition is created
actually he lost his finger in one cutscene in a future mission of the game, but his finger only comes off because he used the blade with his fist closed so because of this his finger was cuted, and after that in the further centurys the assassins removed their finger for using the blade with the closed fist and for show devotion to the brotherhood, until Altair changes the design of the hidden blade ( sorry for the poor english, I'm still learning )
because bayek is the founder of assassin's brotherhood thats why after his first assassination when he lost his finger accidentally , bayek definitely warns other assassins to be careful as in haste anyone can lose a finger during fight, but assassin's used this thing as a tradition to show their commitment to assassin's brotherhood or creed
0:38 that's embarrassing
Ezio is the best blade fighter
Altair is, he can one-shot anyone with it even Al-Mualim with the apple
@@gothamgymnast4638 they can all literally one shot and everyone after ezio is a better blade fighter except assassins after syndicate
@@logiciskey3886 no they cant only altair can oneshot bosses with hidden blade
@@gothamgymnast4638 it’s a fucking hidden blade All Altair is doing is stabbing literally the exact same shit as the others
@@gothamgymnast4638 you fanboying way too hard
you forgot assasins creed rogue.
There's no scene where you get the blade for the first time, when the game starts Shay already has them
Next up evolution of civilians screaming
imma be honest they shouldn't even have gave the main character of ac Valhalla a fucking hidden blade he isn't an assassin why the hell are they giving him one lol were they just passing hidden blades out like candy bc last time i checked u had to be an assassin to get the hidden blade and eivor is not
Odyssey had hidden blade? I never knew
Its only appearing in a DLC
It comes from a dlc where you never get to use it
@@dubstrap6095 😂😂
@@dubstrap6095 you are joking theres no way they hid one of the most critical tools behind dlc
stupidly loud outro music
the fuck is that outro volume
Fun fact: Assassin Creed is just a Copy of Prince of Per-
Wannabe gangster and his twin, some roman or greek demigod and dollar store Ragnar Lothbrok
Didn't they use to tell us you had to remove your ring figure for the blade to work and then Leonardo DaVinci did improvements so you didn't have to do that?
7:25 There it is wtf. But then they show us that wasn't the case in ancient Egypt.
Classic Ubisoft....
Bayek loses the finger later when using the blade
@@joaquimlopes257 that was an accident though. He had a closed fist over the blade while struggling with someone and to save himself he had to extend the blade causing his finger to get severed in the process. Aya never lost her finger due to how the blade was built and neither did anyone else, they all did it voluntarily.
Leonardo Da Vinci didn't modify the hidden blade, its altair who modified it and Leonardo just used altair codex pages to reconstruct that design
@@streetside2833 she actually does lose a finger it's just never shown but you can see later in the game she has 9 fingers
no shit the blade worked regardless, it'd just take your ring finger clean off if you don't pull your hand back. That was always the case.
Bayek's fuckup got made into a tradition. realistically you could probably not even have a hand at all and the thing would work.
Odyssey shouldn't even be an AC game. It has absolutely nothing to do with any of the games. It literally takes place before the Assassin's were around. If you took out the modern day sequences and just named it Odyssey, it would still be a good game. It is literally just a disgrace that they call it Assassin's Creed
Crazy how it takes place before because the time period it was way before the other games.
What did you expect from a game that takes place so far back in time?
Its almost like you can still assassinate targets in that game too.
Also crazy that you didn't get a hidden blade because there was only one person who had it at that time and that had already been established since ACll.
How dare them try to make a game so far in the past where something didn't exist.
How dare them try to spread out to other places in the world in their glory days.
How dare them make a game with a similar concept and change a few things that didn't line up with an already established history.
@@yaboi7248 LMFAOOO 💀💀 THANK YOU.
@@Angel-ko9jp apparently most ac fans don’t want any game that takes place before the existence of the brotherhood or the hidden blade.
I hate assassins creed games not fun
I thought it was hidden ones
Ubisofts cutscenes got worse in the last 5 years
It’s so interesting to see that as the times progressed, you “lose” some previous upgrades. Like the gun
The phantom blade is personal favorite and Connor's dagger blade a close 2nd
I believe they focused on tools more than weapons. I just hoped that some of those tools really made it into proper combat. Like the grapple hook of the Frye twins where they could hook enemies, The Frye’s syringe with multiple types of injections, and more. The phantom blade is the most interesting as it is a portable projectile weapon that is silent than a gun. I just with a lot of the weapons and tools had smooth quick shots and can be implemented in combat.
I think one thing that may apply with some hidden blades is the knowledge the "Great" Altair might have gained from the Apple, it may have given him a knowledge from the Isu, or from future man made craftsmanship, the gun or the hand cannon, which truly wasn't created until around the time of Ezio (based on game lore, not historical)
Only hidden Blade add-on I liked was the hook blade, it was a hook and a blade, and was only in revelations
@@moonsets-on_you ah tabai is black flag. You mean abbas is the one Altair shot
Now : it's not hidden anymore 🤡
Vikings go brrrrr 😁
The Not-So-Hidden Blade
I hope rift was not disappoint us
@@NexaTerraGaming no shit its a viking
@Mason Ballard only cause retcons
It’s funny how Bayek basically created a whole unnecessary tradition of cutting off your ring finger for centuries. Eivor actually wears the hidden blade correctly, as Darius also wore it on the top of his wrist.
If its like that then its no longer a hidden blade because people can see whats on theur wrist
@@benjamintan5399 You can easily see it under your wrist too, let’s not act like the hidden blade is actually “hidden” in any of the games lol.
@@jared1465 u shuld see shays hidden blade, because in his outfit his sleeve goes over his hidden blade so its literally hidden
@@benjamintan5399 dude every assassin except Altair stands out like a fucking sore thumb.
Actually bayek don't wanted his recruits to cut they fingers they did that to show their devotion
The Origins hidden blade scene was my favorite. Bayek was never trained with something like this and almost took his hand off. A realistic touch because people need training to use tools properly.
