As several people have already pointed out, you can chain Back Ejects between two tight walls, but this is really, really contextual and even rarer than Fast-Lifts. Still, it's worth mentioning, so I'm mentioning it here.
@@MCKazachenka Most people know about that, I think, and sideways movement is irrelevant to me unless it's an actual side-hop (the goal is to move upwards).
One time, I got this very contexual spot somewhere I can't remember but it's a coop mission. I just high profile sprinted towards the wall, pressed jump and sideway, and Arno did this gravity defying side wallrun diagonally upwards like he was the main character of a kungfu movie. Great stuff!
blackTIE I know that move and it’s actually somewhat easy. Just run towards a wall diagonally. It can be done on all walls, but it looks weird on a few walls due to some of their handholds.
The sound design of AC games, especially Unity, is just so accurate and immersive (and satisfaying) From the sound of the roof slabs while running on it to the hidden blade's activation in a full stealth gameplay, it's just so good.
Yeah, Unity is the absolute champion of Assassin's Creed's tradition of having horrible tutorialization and being awful at teaching players what they need to know. Ubisoft haven't gotten much better at that, honestly. It's just that their newer games simply have fewer mechanics in them, period.
Leo K [Rogue] As fun as it is learning some of the stuff on your own, something as useful as phantom blade distractions should’ve been in the game’s tutorial. But knowing Ubisoft, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t intentionally put it there.
@@arthurthedragon1012 I can almost guarantee that it's not intentional. They're generally not very good at teaching players stuff even when they try real hard.
Agree with that with the tools but the climbing and Parkour mechanics have been so heavily automated that I find it hard to praise the game despite how pretty it looks.

Honestly, jury's still out on that, I'm always squinting at it and wondering if it's REALLY a real thing or not, but that's how all the earlier Assassin's Creed games worked, and if there's a chance that climbing quicker IS true when pulling High Profile, it makes sense to just hold it down anyway.
@@LeoKRogue It is a thing for sure. For example if there's a window and you're hanging on the bottom of it and it has a beam in the middle and on the top, in high profile Arno does like a little hop to the top, in low profile he grabs the middle one and than smoothly transitions to the top one. If there's a bigger gap than that you will have to use the jump button.
@@dominikbury2 Right, I thought as much. I've seen too many instances where there's an obvious difference between profiles on the side of a building for it to just be random.
Nice video as always Leo, to me parkouring efficiently is as important if not more important than being stealthy and playing carefully sometimes. It really is a _skill_ to learn.

@@LeoKRogue There is no way to prevent people from behaving like total retards - running around like a headless chicken, fighting everybody and dying etc. So I'm not sure it would be a good idea.
Just because some portion of the playerbase would do that doesn't mean everyone else should have to miss out on coordinated, voice-chat fueled teamwork, I think. Never make co op mandatory, just make it available as a possible choice, and that's great. If we made every decision based on what the worst possible people would do all the time, we'd never create anything wonderful and life would be incredibly dull.

I wonder if they just let you use the Bifrost to teleport around. Not bashing them, just curious. Unity animations are sexy but after spending some times in the older games, Arno feels like an anchor.
He really does, he's unbelievably sluggish and heavy. When you've played AC1-Rev and see how instantaneously characters react to your buttons in those games and how many different Cancels you can do from how many different states, it's like, playing Unity is almost kind of irritating.
I like that in origins i learned that pressing in the right moment the roll / dodge button will make bayek roll on a long fall/jump. And it avoids u taking damage. Still realistic and technical learning curve based stuff. Lovely.
Yup. You don't actually need to press it with any timing, though. Just start to Hold the Climb button at any point during the fall. As long as you're still holding it when he hits the ground, you'll roll.
@@LeoKRogue At the time I had mis set the youtube notifications due to trolls and agressive people then I learned how to use it, I read only now about your answer.

Tactic barricade: when your getting chased by 10 Templar like me throw a smoke and as you can see the Templar still gets blinded when they try to go through the smoke and give you time to become anonymous

One example that's consistent is in the Co Op Mission "The Austrian Conspiracy" th-cam.com/video/2DoCIW1HQ48/w-d-xo.html Check that video at 3:20
I just got 4 of the fragments of notre dom and I can’t get past the part where it forces you to back eject to get to the next room underneath the headquarters
Mm, maybe look up a video of someone else doing it and see if there's anything different about your positions? In the worst case just hold RT/R2/Shift and spam the hell out of A/X/Space
how do u descend that smoothly in 2:30? Im having trouble with descending to locations I desired. Pressing E only makes Arno hang from a ledge. Shift and E, made him jump descend forward to a chair right beside the target I want to sneak kill. Annoys me so much zzzzzzzzzzzz
HOLD High Profile + Hold E + Path Toward Relevant Obstacles. It's just a matter of getting better at seeing what you can point Arno at below yourself. If you're finding that you end up landing right beside your target too often and blowing your cover, just release High Profile and start ONLY holding E as you get closer. You sacrifice a little speed for a lot more control in those cases, and you get to preserve your stealth state. Or, if you want to be super safe, just Smoke Bomb onto the enemy, and simply Air Assassinate into the cloud. Easy!
Regarding point 3. I tested forward + mashing jump and it took me 7 seconds to climb a wall while holding high profile + forward + mushing jump covered the same distance in 6.7.
It's because the slight movements Arno makes in between the Jumps are marginally faster. If you care about that level of time-save, it can be pretty useful. Over the course of a run it can add up quite a bit.
@@LeoKRogue The difference is marginal true or it's delay on my finger pressing smartphone button :) What I was trying to say is that on point 3 1:10 you said not to hold high profile which was news to me. For someone who recently played Unity for the 1st time this didn't come up to my mind because to begin climbing a wall I have to press high profile + forward + jump so naturally I never let high profile off and just continued with mashing jump for speed. Therefore I tested both methods. Yours that only begins with high profile at the start and mash jumps versus the one I used with high profile constantly held and mash jumps :) So it's like there are two Mashing Jumps methods and both are equally efficient.
Ah, I see what's happening here. The reason I explain to not Hold High Profile _WHILE_ climbing (it's fine to hold it when Starting a climb) is a matter of *Safety.* When you've been making guides as long as I have, and when you've had thousands of players tell you how they throw themselves off buildings by accidentally ejecting backwards, you start to be really, really careful with the kind of information you give. When you hold High Profile, you _NEED_ to be holding Stick / WASD Forward at all times, and if you move in an even slightly different direction, that's a Back Eject on your next Jump Mash. This potentially kills you, potentially damages you, and _definitely_ wastes more time than if you'd just stayed safe and refrained from holding High Profile. Obviously, you and I are the kind of players who don't have this issue, so it doesn't apply to us, but for a bunch of Assassin's Creed players who complain about clunky controls, keeping them safe and stuck to the building is more important than a small time-save.
He does! I think it has to do with the way Unity renders NPCs based on Distances and 'slices.' I guess what we're seeing there is that guy stepping over one rendering threshold, and then stepping back over it again.
Syndicate and Unity are very similar games so most of the same tips apply. In Syndicate though you can Whistle, which you should use, and you can also Kidnap people to remain invisible while walking around with them. That's also strong.
I use Pure Shadow, yeah. I don't really remember what I'm using here, but it's safe to assume it's ALWAYS Legendary Military Bracers for the insane Berserk/Phantom counts, and Arno's Master Coat or Arno's Tailored Coat. Everything else doesn't matter so much except a belt that gives lots of Smoke.
@@LeoKRogue Jump still has to be pressed every time you want to jump up the building. However, this can be timed. Another think I wanted to mention is that the 'Climb Leap' is context sensitive to the directional keys. Also, I just wanted to mention, using high-profile to descend a building is much faster than using low-profile to descend. I could also not see a difference between high-profile and low-profile climbing. However, this is not the same for Syndicate.
Don’t know if you’ll see this but I’ve been having some performance issues with this game my FPS is fine but any buildings that are in the distance look like n64 games and my gpu and cpu temperatures get higher than when I play other games is this normal?
Unity isn't very well-optimized, so it makes sense to me that it'd do this to some PCs. Maybe some rare interaction with whatever config or parts you might have, but I don't know enough about computers and the specific ways this game taxes different systems to give you a useful answer, unfortunately.
@@LeoKRogue Jesus man thanks for the quick reply! I’m new to pc so I keep clicking the wrong buttons and instead of running Arno just flops to the nearest object
The button you hold is R2. Being in High Profile (R2 held down) causes all of your Actions to be 'stronger' but more Visible. Being in Low Profile (R2 _not_ pressed) causes all of your Actions to be 'weaker' and shorter-ranged, but less Visible; more Stealthy.
Dude help!... :'( Can't even do the neutral climb. Am at the beginning of the game. I tried to do that wt u thought for neutral climb(jsst press W as you face a wall) nothing happenes.
In order to _BEGIN_ climbing a wall, you need to hold High Profile while holding Jump at the same time, while moving into the wall. Once you're _ON_ the wall you can start mashing Jump with no other buttons. It's a bit confusing when you start out but you'll get used to it. Good luck.
Anyone have any advice/tips on controlling quickshots? Half the time, your quickshot doesn't shoot who you intended, even if it seems like they're highlighted, or even right in front of you. (Enemies, of course) It gets quite annoying and was wondering if there's a certain way to do it...? I play on PC.
If you're in stealth, all Quickshots should shoot whatever is centered on your screen with no exceptions. In moments where there are multiple guards, I make sure to swing my camera a little bit past the outside of my target to make sure I don't accidentally hit the guy standing next to him. Not sure if that helps but that's the best I've got.
@@LeoKRogue ah, thank you. Makes perfect sense now. Sure wish the dev's would fix up the game a bit and make it easier, but now at least I know it's not my fault
@@LeoKRogue yes like you did with your no upgrades playthrough but with upgrades and stuff. So you can show us each sequences with perfect stealth (sorry I'm french my english is pretty bad)
Sup bro Could u show the best spots to rec parkour videos? I know that we had to explore the map and creat the ways, but if u know some place, could u tell me pls? (Sorry about my English, Ima just from Brazil xD)
Hello, NoSamurai from Brazil! :D I actually won't be able to help with that, because I don't know either, can you believe it? What you said in your comment, that's the way I do it. I run around the map and look for places I think could be good, then I try it four or five times. If it looks like it's working, I keep going and make more advanced chains. If it's sloppy or the placement of obstacles isn't enjoyable for me, I leave and go somewhere else, then I start again. I repeat this until I find a location that works, and then I record.
The input for it is holding High Profile + Jump off an edge, but whether you get that jump animation is entirely dependent on whether the right object is under you for Arno to dive for with his hands. In short, it's basically random unless you start memorizing the exact places in Paris that cause you to do it.
Release your High Profile trigger, then re-hold it. If he keeps jumping/traversing Left or Right, it's usually because the game is confused due to us still holding a previously held High Profile modifier. Hopefully this helps.
It's essentially exactly the same, the only difference is that there's no Manual Jumping, and you can't leap down off of tall structures anymore, at all. Other than that, all the controls work the way they do in Unity. I think that if I were to make a Syndicate parkour guide, it wouldn't be received very well, since it's so shallow and there's nothing there.
Defaults: Hold Shift + Tap A or D. You should rebind Run/High Profile from Shift to Right Click. Much easier to play that way. Put your Quickshot/Aim on something else.
- Try a different building. - Run up the wall with High Profile and Jump/Climb held down. (Defaults: Shift + Space) - During the wallrun, let go of shift, then you can start using these climbing methods. Hope that helps a bit, I'm sorry you've been having difficulties. :[
While hanging on an edge and there's a close-by edge at the same height as Arno's hands, hold RT (Right Trigger) down and while holding, move the Left Stick in its direction.
It should look exactly the same as it does in that animation. If you want to see an example of a mission with _a lot_ of sidehops used in it over and over again, check out any of blackTIE's Stealth Reaper videos, like this one: th-cam.com/video/RpZXJEmWYsQ/w-d-xo.html
Leo K [Rogue] wow yeah i do them but he really knows how to side hop good i can olny get just 1 or if im lucky a 2 chain hop and it still feels slow thanks for the help
@LeoKRogue I ended up putting it back down. Free roaming is the most fun I've ever had in AC but the bank always rears it's head in the black box missions.
"Ladders are a socially-acceptable way to reach a rooftop. Climbing a building however, is not." -- The Animus 1.28 [Assassin's Creed 1 | 2007] Given that the 2nd Tenet is "Always be discreet / hide in plain sight," using a ladder so as to not draw unnecessary attention is literally in the Creed. xD
Sorry, I'd like to help but I don't understand your comment. What exactly are you experiencing? Make sure you actually run up the wall first with RT + A / R2 + X / Shift + Space (or whatever your High Profile + Parkour Up binds are).
As someone who 100%ed this game on PS4, and only got a PC after, not at all. Everything here is doable on a controller with the appropriate inputs, I just use universal input notation so players on any platform can understand and I don't have to repeat three different buttons for every technique.
It is! Just, not in ALL contexts. Two players doing each action in their most optimal scenarios, sidehop walling will beat upjump mashing every single time. Now, if the sidehop waller is trying to force their action in a situation where the architecture doesn't work for it, then yeah, they'll lose. This is what's being explained. TLDR in situations you're not confident you can instantly find the next wallrun, always mash jump.
This is so unexplanitory. Wtf is a high profile button and wtf is a ledge grab. I have been playing unity for a while like a few years and never heard this stuff
High Profile R2/RT/Shift (Default) A ledge grab is a ledge grab. I'm not sure what you're asking here. I'm just using the same terminology the game does in order to be consistent, it's been the same in every single AC until Syndicate. I'm here to help though, let me know if you have other questions.
Unity tends to be a lot worse on consoles in general, yeah. They really tried their best to have that game running as well as it could on PS4/XB1 hardware, but there's only so much one can do. It's just an incredibly demanding game. I played it on PS4 for 3 years before I got my PC.

I just got 4 of the fragments of notre dom and I can’t get past the part where it forces you to back eject to get to the next room underneath the headquarters
Mm, maybe look up a video of someone else doing it and see if there's anything different about your positions? In the worst case just hold RT/R2/Shift and spam the hell out of A/X/Space
Can't wait for the next guide 'How to open settings menu'.
Don't tempt them, man. People will just ask me to make anything, I swear. :P
how do u descend that smoothly in 2:30?
Im having trouble with descending to locations I desired.
Pressing E only makes Arno hang from a ledge.
Shift and E, made him jump descend forward to a chair right beside the target I want to sneak kill.
Annoys me so much zzzzzzzzzzzz
HOLD High Profile + Hold E + Path Toward Relevant Obstacles.
It's just a matter of getting better at seeing what you can point Arno at below yourself. If you're finding that you end up landing right beside your target too often and blowing your cover, just release High Profile and start ONLY holding E as you get closer. You sacrifice a little speed for a lot more control in those cases, and you get to preserve your stealth state. Or, if you want to be super safe, just Smoke Bomb onto the enemy, and simply Air Assassinate into the cloud. Easy!
@@LeoKRogue ah I see..
So by adjusting camera angle can somrwhat alter his descending destination.
Thanks m8
odyssey's parkour is good it is slow but you can do some good moves
Like what? Vaulting?
Regarding point 3. I tested forward + mashing jump and it took me 7 seconds to climb a wall while holding high profile + forward + mushing jump covered the same distance in 6.7.
It's because the slight movements Arno makes in between the Jumps are marginally faster. If you care about that level of time-save, it can be pretty useful. Over the course of a run it can add up quite a bit.
@@LeoKRogue The difference is marginal true or it's delay on my finger pressing smartphone button :) What I was trying to say is that on point 3 1:10 you said not to hold high profile which was news to me. For someone who recently played Unity for the 1st time this didn't come up to my mind because to begin climbing a wall I have to press high profile + forward + jump so naturally I never let high profile off and just continued with mashing jump for speed. Therefore I tested both methods. Yours that only begins with high profile at the start and mash jumps versus the one I used with high profile constantly held and mash jumps :) So it's like there are two Mashing Jumps methods and both are equally efficient.
Ah, I see what's happening here. The reason I explain to not Hold High Profile _WHILE_ climbing (it's fine to hold it when Starting a climb) is a matter of *Safety.*
When you've been making guides as long as I have, and when you've had thousands of players tell you how they throw themselves off buildings by accidentally ejecting backwards, you start to be really, really careful with the kind of information you give.
When you hold High Profile, you _NEED_ to be holding Stick / WASD Forward at all times, and if you move in an even slightly different direction, that's a Back Eject on your next Jump Mash. This potentially kills you, potentially damages you, and _definitely_ wastes more time than if you'd just stayed safe and refrained from holding High Profile.
Obviously, you and I are the kind of players who don't have this issue, so it doesn't apply to us, but for a bunch of Assassin's Creed players who complain about clunky controls, keeping them safe and stuck to the building is more important than a small time-save.
For side hops: Do you hold parcour up as well?
Usually no need.
0:17 - 0:23
the NPC at the right bottom corner changed his outfit instantly three times.
He does! I think it has to do with the way Unity renders NPCs based on Distances and 'slices.' I guess what we're seeing there is that guy stepping over one rendering threshold, and then stepping back over it again.
Leo K [Rogue] thanks for the reply, Leo!
Is there anyway to "perfect" the side jump?
Just gotta do it toward the correct obstacles. It's entirely world-based now rather than character based like how it used to be.
Leo K [Rogue] Yeah, I figured that out a bit afterwards. But thanks!
Hey Leo do you have any tips for syndicate?
Syndicate and Unity are very similar games so most of the same tips apply. In Syndicate though you can Whistle, which you should use, and you can also Kidnap people to remain invisible while walking around with them. That's also strong.
@@LeoKRogue Thanks for the tips. You are right. Very similar. I am a lil late to the party I see now. Thanks again.
@@LeoKRogue your channel is amazing by the way. You treat these guides like art.
@leok do u have any info on your key bindings? I just started unity on pc. Just curious
High Profile: Right Click
Aim / Quickshot: any Side / Thumb Mouse Button
Everything else default.
th-cam.com/video/SFWx0gFhrNA/w-d-xo.html
@@LeoKRogue you’re the best
what are the names of the equipments that you used in the video? also are you using the pure shadow colour scheme?
I use Pure Shadow, yeah.
I don't really remember what I'm using here, but it's safe to assume it's ALWAYS Legendary Military Bracers for the insane Berserk/Phantom counts, and Arno's Master Coat or Arno's Tailored Coat. Everything else doesn't matter so much except a belt that gives lots of Smoke.
@@LeoKRogue Alright thanks :D
@@LeoKRogue do you have a discord server by any chance?
I hang out here!
discord.gg/Kz9Quhngzp
I wish AC free running stayed the unity way
Or evolved from the Unity way, at least. Now it's barely even gameplay haha
I have not played Unity, in a while; I swear you can hold down space to Climb Leap instead of mashing it?
That might be true, easy enough to test for anyone who wants to find out.
@@LeoKRogue Jump still has to be pressed every time you want to jump up the building. However, this can be timed. Another think I wanted to mention is that the 'Climb Leap' is context sensitive to the directional keys.
Also, I just wanted to mention, using high-profile to descend a building is much faster than using low-profile to descend. I could also not see a difference between high-profile and low-profile climbing. However, this is not the same for Syndicate.
Don’t know if you’ll see this but I’ve been having some performance issues with this game my FPS is fine but any buildings that are in the distance look like n64 games and my gpu and cpu temperatures get higher than when I play other games is this normal?
Unity isn't very well-optimized, so it makes sense to me that it'd do this to some PCs. Maybe some rare interaction with whatever config or parts you might have, but I don't know enough about computers and the specific ways this game taxes different systems to give you a useful answer, unfortunately.
I Accidentally disabled my map and you know how creed's are I couldn't even read the tip too active it again
RIP x__x
Have you changed any of your key bindings?
Yes.
I use Right Click for "High Profile/Run"
I use Side Mouse Buttons for Projectiles and Crouch
@@LeoKRogue Jesus man thanks for the quick reply! I’m new to pc so I keep clicking the wrong buttons and instead of running Arno just flops to the nearest object
Can you make a advanced parkour in unity like fastest way to climb and get around on the map ropes windows etc
This would essentially be it, there's not much more to say. The rest is just putting the pieces together.
Ah damm
I’m confused, what’s the difference between high-profile and low-profile? and how do you use the different profiles on PS4?
The button you hold is R2. Being in High Profile (R2 held down) causes all of your Actions to be 'stronger' but more Visible. Being in Low Profile (R2 _not_ pressed) causes all of your Actions to be 'weaker' and shorter-ranged, but less Visible; more Stealthy.
Leo K [Rogue] I didn’t know that low profile is a thing. So low profile is just using the jump button to climb?
Yes. Since you're not holding R2, you can never accidentally fling yourself off. That only happens if you're holding R2.
Dude help!... :'(
Can't even do the neutral climb. Am at the beginning of the game. I tried to do that wt u thought for neutral climb(jsst press W as you face a wall) nothing happenes.
In order to _BEGIN_ climbing a wall, you need to hold High Profile while holding Jump at the same time, while moving into the wall. Once you're _ON_ the wall you can start mashing Jump with no other buttons. It's a bit confusing when you start out but you'll get used to it. Good luck.
@@LeoKRogue Tnks fr replying to comments on a 2yr old video... am very grateful to you :')
Anyone have any advice/tips on controlling quickshots? Half the time, your quickshot doesn't shoot who you intended, even if it seems like they're highlighted, or even right in front of you.
(Enemies, of course)
It gets quite annoying and was wondering if there's a certain way to do it...?
I play on PC.
If you're in stealth, all Quickshots should shoot whatever is centered on your screen with no exceptions. In moments where there are multiple guards, I make sure to swing my camera a little bit past the outside of my target to make sure I don't accidentally hit the guy standing next to him. Not sure if that helps but that's the best I've got.
@@LeoKRogue ah, I understand all of it, except maybe the stealth part you mentioned. Do you mean when I'm in low-profile mode/crouched?
No need to be Crouched, just not be in Combat, not be Detected. When you're in Combat, Quickshots just go wherever they feel like.
@@LeoKRogue ah, thank you. Makes perfect sense now. Sure wish the dev's would fix up the game a bit and make it easier, but now at least I know it's not my fault
Are you going to make a unity lets play but this time with upgrades and stuff
Is that something you would like to watch? Any ideas in particular for it, or do you just mean a normal playthrough commented by me?
@@LeoKRogue yes like you did with your no upgrades playthrough but with upgrades and stuff. So you can show us each sequences with perfect stealth (sorry I'm french my english is pretty bad)
@@akaza1886 That could be pretty fun to do.
Sup bro
Could u show the best spots to rec parkour videos?
I know that we had to explore the map and creat the ways, but if u know some place, could u tell me pls?
(Sorry about my English, Ima just from Brazil xD)
Hello, NoSamurai from Brazil! :D I actually won't be able to help with that, because I don't know either, can you believe it? What you said in your comment, that's the way I do it. I run around the map and look for places I think could be good, then I try it four or five times. If it looks like it's working, I keep going and make more advanced chains. If it's sloppy or the placement of obstacles isn't enjoyable for me, I leave and go somewhere else, then I start again. I repeat this until I find a location that works, and then I record.
Leo K [Rogue] Thank u.
Nice video :)
Can you make a video on your keybinds?
I've received numerous requests to do so, and yeah, I'll make one. :D
What is the high profile trigger?
R2 / RT / Shift [Default]
I rebind Shift to Right Click on PC. Easier.
How did you do the 01:16 leap jump?
The input for it is holding High Profile + Jump off an edge, but whether you get that jump animation is entirely dependent on whether the right object is under you for Arno to dive for with his hands. In short, it's basically random unless you start memorizing the exact places in Paris that cause you to do it.
@@LeoKRogue oh, cool, thank you. Been struggling to get it working :)
@@LeoKRogue do you think directional key matters? Pressing down, up or not pressing them at all
You just need to make sure you jump, the animation will happen on its own provided you Forced Jump off of a surface above a valid dive-object.
What is high profile button?

How to sneak into your inner circle?
I have no idea.
When I side hop and press a or x on ps it makes you side hop further . Is this true
Not in my experience, but if you test it more and find that it does work that way, let me know!
On lampposts on flat surface if you let go of x
You won’t side hop as far. Thx for everything:
A location to test this is cafe theat entrance. Go and side hop from right side to tree on left. U can only do this with a or x pressed
U might know this but your disguise won’t go if you choke not assassinate
I wish Basim could side hop
Same. He kiiind of can, but it has to be to a platform lower than you.
I can't side hop on xb1 he just jumps to the left
Release your High Profile trigger, then re-hold it. If he keeps jumping/traversing Left or Right, it's usually because the game is confused due to us still holding a previously held High Profile modifier. Hopefully this helps.
What are the keys for mashing climb plz help me..
PC: Space
Xbox: A
PlayStation: X
@@LeoKRogue in pc space only? I tried but didnt work..
Is Space your jump button? Tap whatever Jump / Cover is bound to.
@@LeoKRogue I'll try thanku you played well...
Please do a tutorial for syndicate, the parkour in syndicate sucks compare to unity
It's essentially exactly the same, the only difference is that there's no Manual Jumping, and you can't leap down off of tall structures anymore, at all. Other than that, all the controls work the way they do in Unity. I think that if I were to make a Syndicate parkour guide, it wouldn't be received very well, since it's so shallow and there's nothing there.
Leo K [Rogue] the side jump to higher platforms doesn’t work in syndicate 😓, it was so cool
Hi Leo
Hey.
how do you do side hoping with keyboard pls im desperate
Defaults: Hold Shift + Tap A or D.
You should rebind Run/High Profile from Shift to Right Click. Much easier to play that way. Put your Quickshot/Aim on something else.
@@LeoKRogue thnks
i tryed everything and i can't even climb neutral :( i'm on pc
- Try a different building.
- Run up the wall with High Profile and Jump/Climb held down. (Defaults: Shift + Space)
- During the wallrun, let go of shift, then you can start using these climbing methods.
Hope that helps a bit, I'm sorry you've been having difficulties. :[
@@LeoKRogue Thank you so much, i discovered i had an issue with my keyboard settings, now i can climb really well!
I still dont get side hops on xbox one someone please help
While hanging on an edge and there's a close-by edge at the same height as Arno's hands, hold RT (Right Trigger) down and while holding, move the Left Stick in its direction.
I'm not holding x and o any more and I'm rather tapping
Works too.
Ahh so confusing (sidehop idk if im doing it right)
It should look exactly the same as it does in that animation. If you want to see an example of a mission with _a lot_ of sidehops used in it over and over again, check out any of blackTIE's Stealth Reaper videos, like this one:
th-cam.com/video/RpZXJEmWYsQ/w-d-xo.html
Leo K [Rogue] wow yeah i do them but he really knows how to side hop good i can olny get just 1 or if im lucky a 2 chain hop and it still feels slow thanks for the help
What is high profile?
R2 / RT / Shift [PC Default]
It's the state you're in that allows a character to Run, Climb, or do Socially Obvious Actions.
@@LeoKRogue thanks
I rage deinstalled the game because arno was fucking the wall when I wanted him to jump down and got killed
Feels awful man. This game definitely has an unavoidable amount of clunk, and you really have to love it a lot to put up with all its bullshit.
@@LeoKRogue the funny thing is every ac i played beside unity is no problem for me not only for climbing but even for stealth blag flag was easier
Holy shit. Thats what i was doing wrong. I kept trying to "eject" by hitting A when trying to side hop. Wow.
Yeah, it's a weird game.
@LeoKRogue I ended up putting it back down. Free roaming is the most fun I've ever had in AC but the bank always rears it's head in the black box missions.
3:14 how to do that curve downfall
It's random. Do Parkour Down animations and you'll get it eventually. I got really really lucky there getting two in a row.
What is your discord server
I shut mine down a long time ago, so I currently don't have one.

This is blasphemy, assassins don't use ladders, its in the creed.
"Ladders are a socially-acceptable way to reach a rooftop. Climbing a building however, is not."

Given that the 2nd Tenet is "Always be discreet / hide in plain sight," using a ladder so as to not draw unnecessary attention is literally in the Creed. xD
I keep just walking wdym
Sorry, I'd like to help but I don't understand your comment. What exactly are you experiencing?
Make sure you actually run up the wall first with RT + A / R2 + X / Shift + Space (or whatever your High Profile + Parkour Up binds are).
I'm dumb nvm ur great
Sounds like it's only possible on pc
As someone who 100%ed this game on PS4, and only got a PC after, not at all. Everything here is doable on a controller with the appropriate inputs, I just use universal input notation so players on any platform can understand and I don't have to repeat three different buttons for every technique.
I play ps4 not computer.
High Profile: R2
Jump/Climb: X
Descend/Loot: O
:)
Side hops is faster than mashing jump? Yeah, no
It is! Just, not in ALL contexts. Two players doing each action in their most optimal scenarios, sidehop walling will beat upjump mashing every single time. Now, if the sidehop waller is trying to force their action in a situation where the architecture doesn't work for it, then yeah, they'll lose. This is what's being explained.
TLDR in situations you're not confident you can instantly find the next wallrun, always mash jump.
This is so unexplanitory. Wtf is a high profile button and wtf is a ledge grab. I have been playing unity for a while like a few years and never heard this stuff
High Profile
R2/RT/Shift (Default)
A ledge grab is a ledge grab. I'm not sure what you're asking here.
I'm just using the same terminology the game does in order to be consistent, it's been the same in every single AC until Syndicate. I'm here to help though, let me know if you have other questions.
It sucks on Xbox
Unity tends to be a lot worse on consoles in general, yeah. They really tried their best to have that game running as well as it could on PS4/XB1 hardware, but there's only so much one can do. It's just an incredibly demanding game. I played it on PS4 for 3 years before I got my PC.
Yeah I play it on Xbox
And it is a night mare
