Achillies reflecting on the events of Assassin's Creed Rogue.
Michael Haney Yep
Got that right
Yes.
When Connor meets Achilles he told that students before him have betrayed him
Just to clarify in this reply section we're all aware he's talking about himself, not Shay. Right? Cause let's remember who gave the fucking call that caused that "destruction" we're talking about.
Whoever wrote Achilles's script deserves a million kudo's. What a great follow up from his rash decisions in Rogue.
Vaibhav that problem is Rogue didn't exist when Ac3 came out.
Ac3 came out 2012, Rogue 2014
III was written before/in 2012. That's why Shay is never mentioned because he technically didn't exist yet.

Bro had the perfect voice actor
It's sad too see that Achilles treated Connor like a son and Connor treated him like a father.
@Connor Saibot Kenway Lol connor was 13 when he first met achilles? he looked 20 lmao
@Connor Saibot Kenway thanks...he don't looked 13 tho 😂
According Achilles is a father and the reason why he name him Connor cause of his biological son
@Damian Thomas Knight Wayne dude. He may be 6 years old when he met charles. Get your facts straight. There is no way a 13 yr old would sound like an adult.
@Damian Thomas Knight Wayne what are you talking about , he was about 17
"You could've use a tree" 😂😂😂😂
Lmao Connor is such a Savage he gives no fcks
@@YoloTB Yes, he is by definition, a savage.
Kinda feel like Achilles kept on reminding Connor that he especially needs to kill Haytham because he takes it to a personal level for getting revenge for crippling him.
Dio Cipher Tbh Haythem pissed me off less than Shay
He had to kill Haytham because that stupid idiot even remained with the Same templars who killed his father and sold his sister as a whore! All he wanted was to Control everything for the templars and kill everyone else even his son!
@@Simon-tl5vt- Haytham didn't know the Templars did that to his father Edward until his sister Jenny told him everything. And that resulted in the 2 of them killing Grand Master Reginald Birch, who plotted the whole thing from the start, since he was secretly a Templar working for the Kenway family.
@@tigga2300 but when he met connor he did know! I would never be with the organisation that did this to my family. I really cant understand haytham in that point
@@Simon-tl5vt - I know where you're coming from, but Haytham ended up staying because he strongly believes in the Templar cause itself.

@@loudsilence377 I think Valhalla's done right by the overarching story and modern day part. Darby McDevitt is amazing, but I also really miss Corey May's poignant, symbolically-rich writing. It's just a shame Valhalla is so damn padded out and overfilled with useless content.
In your haste to save the world take care you don't destroy it.
Now I understand why he said.
I like how Connor was an assassin who actually tried to unite with the templars. Willing to try and find a compromise for a better tomorrow than just kill them due to their ideological differences.
Same also for Elise, she tried to unite both assassin and Templars....
I remember my sister have a book about assassins creed unity and mostly focusing on elise
@@jet047 Oh Awesome! I didn't know about that
@@jet047 I don't buy it. In Unity, Elise did nothing that would make me believe she tried to unite with the Assassins. Her father, on the other hand, might have. If I recall, the only reason she went to the Asssassins for help was out of desperation, because she was cut out of her own faction.
Even Ezio hasn't tried that
Yes the ideology of the assassin's and Templar blur as freedom and order were shared by both groups as they adapted into this era where they accept a form of order where freedom is permitted for things like slavery to exist and rights of individuals to be respected. Essentially negative and positive rights.
As Achilles famously said.
"What's true and what is, aren't always the same."
"Better to thought of a Spaniard than a Native and both better than I"
Small things like this is why i love these games, it captures hard hitting realities that ever present at the time and today still.
Yeah that line cut me
Idk man.. Natives had it worst imo.
@@shawnshipwreck1115 idk man…we have been fucking each other over since humans were created no matter what color we are.
That kind of historical context is lost with the newer games.
@@KnightofGaming6721 Best answer that could’ve been given
Master Yoda of the AC universe
Obi-YTP-Kenobi Achille : Yoda. Shay : Annakin/Vader. Haytham: Sidious. Connor : Luke. Assassins : Jedi. Templars : Siths
adewale: windu
Still none of them had the High Ground
Annakin is Shay
@@ReformedSooner24 Haytham can also qualify as Anakin, Reginald Birch can qualify as Sidious.
Just the reason why Achilles gave the name Connor is really sad once you find it out...
So gud Iz ok cause it's his dads name
Exactly that!
Wait... no..... it's his dead son's name.
ohhhh i thought it was his dads but now that i know its his dead son is even sadder
Jose Lemus In a deleted scene Achilles talks about how his son died...
Just search up Connor Davenport.
So gud Iz ok yo that's sad
I love Connor's naivete when he was young. Really immersive on how a young native would react to European settlements. Also I found how nearly Everytime he goes to the basement he always gawks at the robes. He's a wholesome one.
I also loved how he had no concept of racism when he was young. He was so confused when Achilles said that he couldnt go into those stores.
He's a cinnamon roll that could split your skull with a tomahawk.
It's amazing that Shay broke Achilles down to this level
Even worse is, We don't get a game with Connor vs Shay.
yeah, I'd love to see Old man Shay fighting young Connor
I've never been much of a fan of Connor but I'm sure like hell I'd enjoy watching him overpowering that stupid immature wannabe "protector of the people" Shay
and I'm really sure that i'll so much enjoy when Shay Comac beat the hell out of that raging crying baby Connor
Nhật Minh Connor would easily take him down cuz Shay is weak piece of shit and fking traitor
I am betting that if shay knew Achilles died, he'd mourn him, despite differences.
Minchken Younger Shay, yes. Older Shay, no.
Shay during Rogue event yes. Old Shay? No, he became too currumpted by the Templars and showed no pity when he killed Arno’s father
Itachi Uchiha actually templars are quiet right for the world without order and control there would be chaos
Royce Eapen but a world controlled by the pieces of Eden would be chaos.
When Sue yeah thats true but thats what abstergo industires wants if it was the old templars they would have maintained the peace
"What's true, and what is, are not always the same." Facts
ACIII may not have been the best game, but it definatley had some of the best Characters and philosophic questions. Achillis, Haytham, & Connor. Haytham's debates with Connor, when Lee Is stabbed by Connor, the two epilouge missions where Connor visits his old village and when he is on the pier in New York seeing the crowd boo the british while the slave auction begins nearby.
My20GUNS I don't know any good reason for this game not being considered good, except the atrocious ending
Amerikkka's Most Wanted
Actually the ending was perfect. The ending was perfectly tragic and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately a story like this doesn't have a happy ending and we have hindsight to thank for that. From the very beginning of the game I knew Conner wasn't going to be able to save his people because history prevents him from doing so.
I think he meant for the modern day.
Achilles was never perfect but u gotta give him credit for how good a character he was in the ac universe
Achilles was just like Yoda - dumb, narrow-minded and far too restricting and by the book to get anything meaningful done. And I will also say compared to other assassins namely Ezio. Achilles during his tenure as grandmaster did not really offer the same amount of freedom to other assassins. He was to bias toward the templars despite the best assassin in history. You have 3 sides of the story. Assassins on one side, the templar being on the latter and the third is the truth.
Achilles was far too paranoid that his actions and rules became so clouded and deluded that those very beliefs and rules were instrumental in turning dozens and dozens of assassins to the dark path in his time as grandmaster. It's quite Ironic. He tries so hard to prevent the templars' dominance that his rules to prevent this are the very things that helped it along. Shay is one of those who left or lost faith in the brotherhood due to its neglect, rules, incompetence, bias, and lack of freedom. And not the criminal gangs were responsible for the destruction of Lisboa.
Achilles isn't bad he didn't know anything about the artefacts or its effect to the environment. Shay just misunderstood the situation and decided to blame the creed. If Achilles had just calmly explained to Shay that the pieces of Eden are dangerous, ancient unpredictable artefacts, then they wouldn't be going through any of this.
It's definitely both sides at fault, I'm pretty sure they got the memo after Ezio basically retired from the creed and informed other assassins that this glowing alien shit is dangerous.
Achilles' Perspective:
Achilles's story is great because his perspective is extremely realistic and relatable and logical. He feels so defeated and beaten down after not only losing his family but watching the genocide of the entire Assassin Order and watched them all be completely eradicated and wiped out by Shay and the rest of the Templars throughout the entire Colonies. He watched and witnessed as the Templars destroyed everything the Assassins had. It makes so much sense that he has lost his belief in the Assassins because he now sees it as an unwinnable fight. The Templars are so strong and powerful and have overwhelming numbers and resources that there is just no possible way to beat them. This perfectly explains why he is so pessimistic and against Connor becoming an Assassin. He discourages Connor from fighting against them and encourages him to just submit because it's logically the safer and more peaceful option. He now believes that it is better to just stop the constant fighting and killing, and just submit to the Templars because the conflict is just a pointless waste of life. He now believes personal survival and preservation of life is more important than fighting for the freedom of humanity, which very much shows how Achilles has given in and submitted to the Templars. He also sees and understands how the Templar vs Assassin conflict is neverending because new Templars and new Assassins are always being born and no matter how many Templars the Assassins kill and vice versa, there is no possible way to defeat them completely. The series has pointed out so many times that you can kill all the people in the world but you can't kill an idea and you can't prevent future generations of people from coming to believing it. This all ties in perfectly to Connor's speech about comprise and how the Assassins and Templars fighting eachother all the time is pointless and redundant because logically there's no end to it, and the best and smartest thing to do is to comprise with eachother and learn to tolerate eachother's differences and find a way to make peace and live together without fighting. This is literally the ENTIRE point and and explains the purpose of why Politics and Governments exist in real life and it all ties in perfectly with the setting of the newly founded America creating it's new government and political system. I love all of this so much there is much great writing going on here.

@@Ratzmoonmopes
Actually Haythem did the rest of Order 66 against the assassins when Shay did a vast portion of it and let Achilles walk away on the condition he submits.
When I played Rogue I hated him but when I played 3 i see him good.
8:55 is one of the saddest things ever to hear. The emotion is even in the voice.
Indeed. It really shows how jarring racism is and was in America at the time. Blacks were beneath everyone in societal status no matter what they owned, even above the Spanish and Native Americans the Colonialists used to kill.
I hate to say it...I really do. Even though Haythem is badass, but Achilles was more of a father to Connor than Haythem was
CrimsonCarl Haytham wasn't a father at all.
I mean, not exactly. Haytham stayed loyal to the ideals of the Order all his life yes, but from his actions it's clear that his family was important to him.
He went against Reginald Birch (The British Templar Grand Master and his supposed mentor) when he learned that it was Birch who had his father killed and sold his sister into slavery. He killed a senior member of the Order for family.
Then with Connor - despite being on opposing sides - he tried to work with him, convince him of the potential good of the Order. Killing him would have been quicker and even rid the Templars of a major threat, but he couldn't. It was Haytham who saved Connor at his execution when the Assassins couldn't quite get to him, despite this putting Charles Lee at risk and allowing Connor to stop Hickey from killing Washington - the Templars' big plot.
Even in that final fight at Fort George, it seems certain that Haytham let Connor kill him, by deliberately removing his hand away from Connor's Hidden Blade and goading him. He could have killed his son, ended the destruction of the Order in America and achieved the Templars' plans - but he couldn't kill his own child.
Haytham was never the best father - with his upbringing in the Order it's no surprise he wasn't exactly warm and supportive - but he still cared about his son (and the rest of his family); it was his major undoing in fact. He still may have died a Templar but it can't be said he was a coward or that he sacrificed family.
Haythem just fucking a girl because he wanted sex and never returned to the village again.
Haytham was his father, but he wasnt his dad
@@erenyeager7967 what the fuck are you talking about Jesse? He got banned from coming back and he respected their wishes
Achilles was one of the best mentors in video game history and one of the best characters of all time. R.I.P. Achilles Davenport, assassin, mentor, and hero.
Be in peace friend.
Zyzor apparently he was pretty bad. his greatest accomplishment was actually training Connor. But he was actually a lazy mentor. He used to use gangs on the street to do his work. AC rouge story says it all and it's Achilles in his younger days and u can see his errors. However towards the end and at the end of ac3. He was finially truly good and accomplished a good goal
and a father...also a husband
Yes. By helping found a nation that would choke the potential from it's allies. By founding a nation that served to make the British empire look like a honourable one in comparison. Britain at least gave it's foes the chance to resist. The US lied, cheated and Extorted it's way to the top. So much so that my homeland is it's slave. And just when I though the States couldn't drag Britain through any more filth they use British soldiers to do their dirty work then take the credit for themselves Achilles was albeit indirectly responsible for the Brotherhoods greatest mistake both before and after Shay betrayed them.
Actually he almost destroyed the world in Rogue events. training Connor was his best accomplishment. The Assassins he had in Rogue were terrorizing people in the cities
22:58 lol Achillies still got that pride. If he only listened to Shay ....
Connor was ready to square up with Achilles 🤣🤣
My favorite Line from Achilles “ YOU COULD HAVE USED A TREE”
1:58 "oh." How bad was this guy's childhood that he reacts with mild disappointment to being stabbed in the back and killed?
hes english. what do you expect
Ow
So sad seeing Achilles being alone.
Well, Haytham did Order 66 on the assassins
16:43 “You Could have used the tree” lmao 🤣
Let's all face it, Connor represents the basis of what laid underneath our youth: We all had dreams and goals but reality often changes the course of these aspirations for the world is different and unique in mind, soul, vision, and power. None of us ever has NOT made a mistake in our lives. Some of us have chosen to give up like Achilles and wallow away, Some of us have chosen to change paths like Shay and accept the choices we have made, Some of us have accepted reality like Haytham and work in it however we can because life isn't easy, Some of us have seen fame and Glory like Adewale and lost countless friends to it but continue on to the end, Some of us have been Edward and realized that our ambitions can hurt us and changed before it was too late. Those who are like Connor are many because we too have lost friends who we thought were our friends. We have lost family like our mothers and the pain is still there. We have hoped to reconcile and change our parents who are like Haytham. Connor does represent our generation because not one of us has ever been truly right or wrong. We just make it up as we go. Any plans we have never go according to plan, but we have hope and faith that it does. Act as you wish, but remember that you are human and no less nor more fallible than the next person. Connor is well written because he relates to our younger selves.
@Isaias Valladares
That is a really excellent analysis.
Excellent analysis that's why Conner is relatable
Love it when Achilles start telling Connor 22:30 the truth of his success
"There is so much opportunity here!"
"Only for few my boy...only for few..."
"Better to be thought a Spaniard than Native, both are better still than I..."
Later when fighting the imposter who dressed up as Chuch who ordered. "Kill him and the Indian too!"
At least you're not in the east lol
I love how archilles said "i aint even going to try to pronounce that" for Ratonhnhaké:ton
When I first saw Achilles in AC 3 I was taken in by his story and how it seemed that he was a soldier who fought hard but lost everything I actually felt sad when he died. Then when I go through the events of AC Rogue I realize that his actions where what caused all of this. If he had listened to Shay instead of automatically assuming that he is a traitor then all this would have been avoided. I think in AC 3 he realizes this and tries to teach Connor not to do the same mistakes but at the same time using Connor to get revenge on the Templars for him not even caring about their good intentions the Templars actually had. When he died he took comfort in the fact that his last student had been the one to avenge the Assassins and would eventually found the new American Assassins chapter.
John Eapen to be honest I fell less bad for Achille now, sure I still feel bad a bit but he was a bad leader for the Assassins back then and Connor was his only greatest achievement, he failed Shay just like the Jedi Order failed Annakin
TheMegaUzumaki They wanted to stop the war which was innocent claiming lives. Sure Charles Lee was mostly racist and crazy, Thomas Hickey was a mercenary who only wanted money, booze and women and most of the colonial and American templars owned slaves and did terrible things but... People like Haytham Kenway, William Johnson, George Munroe, John Pitcairn and Shay Cormac were good decent people compared to the rest. They genuinely wanted to do some good for the people. Go see their entries on AC wiki and their death confessions as well as videos about them and you will see.
well if shay wanted to be taken seriously then hes should bust in achilles room and shouting at him like a 5 year old
"Good intentions" is stretching it a bit. The Templars spoke with velvety tongues and sharp wit but at the end of the day, they all want to strip humanity of what makes them... well, human. William Johnson talked about protecting the Natives before threatening to kill them for not selling their land. John Pitcairn started a war while claiming he was about to make peace with the Patriots at Bunker Hill, and Haytham's ultimate goal was to turn America into a glorified concentration camp. Oh, and let's not forget Shay himself, who claimed to not harm anymore innocents after the Lisbon earthquake, but then kickstarted the French Revolution which indirectly makes him responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents.
@@solidparas1925 what would you do if a person you saw as a mentor sent you on a mission that claimed the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands of innocents, then claimed it to be impossible and shrugged it off? Youd be angry aswell
16:20
Seven years later and it still gives me chills
achillis giving connor the hidden blades cutscene my favorite part of ac3. still my favorite assassins creed plus I still play a ps3 so works out nicely.
long beard316 yeah until the idiot came knocking on the window ruining the whole dramatic sequence..
I wish we got more familial Connor and Achilles scenes. It seems like they're fighting in almost every scene they have together, and we get to see very little of the father-son bond they apparently shared.
Oh no. You missed Connor's monologue at Achilles's grave:
Conner: I never properly said goodbye to you. I was not ready. So here I am. The weight of my responsibilities never seems to diminish. There is always something else that needs fighting for. This is something you never warned me of, maybe because you thought I would have been deterred - you would have been wrong but I know you we not accustomed to that. Life carries on here. The people seem happy - they are certainly safe, at least for now. One of my brotherhood asked me something I have been struggling with, what happens if - when- we win? When we stop the Templars? It is a question I certainly do not know the answer to, perhaps you did not either. I miss you. As I miss my mother. I hope all is well with you, whever you are. Goodbye, Old man, until it comes time for me to join hou - then I will bother you once again.
@David Beer
I didn't include it because it was Connor talking about Achilles, instead of Achilles himself but you are right, that would have been a good ending to the video.
That is reasonable. Appreciate the explanation. The video is great regardless.

You're welcome. And thank you for watching!
I loved it when Connor refuse to give up into having Achilles train him
He is very convincing. I still don't know why many hates him. I love Connor just like Altair and Ezio.
28:35 Achilles was talking about Shay, it makes me mad that he never told about Shay, he is the reason why most of these events are happening
Itachi Uchiha Shay is a monster.
Chaos Afterlife Well he got betrayed and they wouldn't listen. I would rebel too if they killed thosusands of innocents and shrugged it off like it was no big deal.
Hello, I'm the deviant sent by cyberlife Shay killed thousands and kept killing he's a monster.
@@khaos5085no knowledge and yet speaking.
Shay was a good guy. He only turned to the Templars because the Assassins were allowing their bad to overshadow their good. While the Templars were adhering to the better parts of their philosophy and ideology. Shay chose correctly for his situation. And in fact, his choice ended up with Connor and (presumably) a better brotherhood.
28:31 Rogue reference.
it’s not a rogue reference if this game preceded it
It technically is a reference to Rogue unbeknownst at the time, because rogue came out two years later and it made sense then.

@@pinseekergaming4760
Speaking of sequel, I feel Connor and Arno deserve a sequel. How about some ideas? I could consider a sequel which would take place in Australia which I would call Assassins' Creed Down Under where 2 can be playable - Connor and Arno where they will band together to stop the Templars, convicts banished from Great Britain to Australia and stop slavery in Colonial America and Australia. Then Connor (in Achilles' robes) along with his recruits join Djarrjuntjun, Aveline, Eliza, Robert Faulkner and Arno in the fight against James Cook and the templars who seek to colonise Australia.
There will be iconic Red Rock, Sydney, Adelaide, Swan River Colony (now called Perth), Van Dieman's Land (now called Tasmania) and Canberra. The start of the story will be Faulkner and Connor bringing his recruits, Aveline and Eliza on the Aquila to Australia. A flood of memories came to him.
"It's all a matter of perspective. There is no single path through life that's right and fair and does no harm."
"Your meddling in the revolution has caused us no small measure of grief. It cannot continue. Our work is too important." came another.
"Do you think that good King George lies awake at night hoping that no harm comes to his native subjects? Or that the people of the city care one whit about them? Oh, sure, the colonists are happy to trade when they need food or shelter or a bit of extra padding for their armies. But when the walls of the city constrict - when there's crops that need soil - when there's... when there's no enemy to fight - we'll see how kind the people are then."
"Thing is, boy, I can have what I seek. Had it, even. You? Your hands will always be empty."
"And we should live forever on castles in the sky."
"In your haste to save the world, boy - take care you don't destroy it!"
"The people never have the power. Only the illusion of it. And here's the real secret: they don't want it. The responsibility is too great to bear. It's why they're so quick to fall in line as soon as someone takes charge. They want to be told what to do. They yearn for it."
Upon arriving at Hawkesbury River, Connor and his allies witnessed the Indigenous clan under attack by European invaders.

1779 Connor's apprentice named Djarrjuntjun, an Aboriginal of Gumatj tribe assassinates James Cook while Connor and his recruits (Stephane, Clipper, Duncan, Deborah, etc...) combat against the incoming wave of enemies led
1782 Connor helped freed an Aboriginal Australian assassin of Gumatj tribe whom I'll name Djarrjuntjun might have a similar past like Connor, hailed from Southern parts of Western Australia.
27th January 1788 - Connor, and his allies combat Christopher Gist and the templars who displaced a group of convicts at Sydney Cove. He assassinated Gist.

The 'is that so, old man?' is literally one of my favourite scenes from the game. It's SO funny.
So basically the reason why achellies didn't want to train connor at first was because shay betrayed him and thought connor would do the same
Not exactly. I'm assuming after the purge of the original colonial brotherhood, Achillies was broken mentally.
He wasn't afraid of betrayal; he was just broken from his actions and how it lead the assassin's he was leading to die and he was the only one left
Jose Lemus I think acilles probably felt that the templars were too strong for a single man but maybe he lost faith in the brotherhood considering it had been beaten down as much as it had while under his leadership, maybe he just didn't want to repeat the pasts futile mistakes and get this young naive boy killed for nothing
Jose Lemus I mean if it wasnt a game then it would very possible for conner to have gotten himself killed or hunted down, he was very close to death when he was being hanged if it wasn't for haytham he'd be dead om the rope but if you also take a look at haythams death he didnt want to killed conner he could have stabbed him in the throat like conner did to him but he chose to let conner kill him had this been a fair fight like in acillies words would have ended in tragedy. conner had alot of self confidence when he killed the first two men while achilles always knew it would only take once slip up for conner to meet his end lucky for him he was fighting his dad
Jose Lemus and by the end of the game in conner epilogue he realises as ezio did near his end that any man could come for him at any moment and he may not have the advantage for surprise to bail help him kill his target at the end of the day he is a single man trying to also killed a single man not an army fighting in war although he did cheat death many times it was ultimately time that mercilessly tooks his life after he done the same to so many others in name of liberty which in an ironic sense led to him inadvertently betraying his own people
Achilles and Connor have one of the best mentor/student relationships in all of fiction
a black mentor and a native american as the main protagonist, this is diversity in video games done right. Not like now, with movies and games shoving it down our throats.
Ryan Cote Exactly it just felt natural
yeah it feels so forced in most movies/shows
It always made sense that the Assassins would be made up of so-called marginalised groups. Mayans, courtesans, Haitians, outcasts etc.
Ryan Cote l
You are so right
Wow crazy how a game can change your view on characters. AC3 you love Achilles like a teacher figure and a sweet old man. AC Rogue really brought some perspective into what kind of person was in his youth.
That's why he told connor to not be rash because he knows he will end up like him if he does even though rouge was not yet planned nor released yet when ac3 came out they really made both stories intertwine and it really makes you understand where the words of wisdom Achilles gives connor come from because he sees himself in connor and he also sees a potential in him and that's why in ac3 he said to connor that even if his words were harsh there is still truth in them
Achilles' Perspective:
Achilles's story is great because his perspective is extremely realistic and relatable and logical. He feels so defeated and beaten down after not only losing his family but watching the genocide of the entire Assassin Order and watched them all be completely eradicated and wiped out by Shay and the rest of the Templars throughout the entire Colonies. He watched and witnessed as the Templars destroyed everything the Assassins had. It makes so much sense that he has lost his belief in the Assassins because he now sees it as an unwinnable fight. The Templars are so strong and powerful and have overwhelming numbers and resources that there is just no possible way to beat them. This perfectly explains why he is so pessimistic and against Connor becoming an Assassin. He discourages Connor from fighting against them and encourages him to just submit because it's logically the safer and more peaceful option. He now believes that it is better to just stop the constant fighting and killing, and just submit to the Templars because the conflict is just a pointless waste of life. He now believes personal survival and preservation of life is more important than fighting for the freedom of humanity, which very much shows how Achilles has given in and submitted to the Templars. He also sees and understands how the Templar vs Assassin conflict is neverending because new Templars and new Assassins are always being born and no matter how many Templars the Assassins kill and vice versa, there is no possible way to defeat them completely. The series has pointed out so many times that you can kill all the people in the world but you can't kill an idea and you can't prevent future generations of people from coming to believing it. This all ties in perfectly to Connor's speech about comprise and how the Assassins and Templars fighting eachother all the time is pointless and redundant because logically there's no end to it, and the best and smartest thing to do is to comprise with eachother and learn to tolerate eachother's differences and find a way to make peace and live together without fighting. This is literally the ENTIRE point and and explains the purpose of why Politics and Governments exist in real life and it all ties in perfectly with the setting of the newly founded America creating it's new government and political system. I love all of this so much there is much great writing going on here.
15:03 I didn't notice he mentions Shao Jun in the game
Kudos to Ubisoft that how carefully they planned stories Rogue Black Flag & AC3 despite AC3 was released earlier...
Do you REALLY think that Rogue was planned before AC3? 😂
Connor and Shay are both similar in certain ways…. They do what is right to save people and don’t blindly follow their own creeds.. Shay stopped Haytham and told him to have mercy, Connor didn’t just want to kill the templars cuz he’s an “assassin” but because they became monsters throughout the years and were not like they were during the 7 years war
It is great that the voice actor who voiced Achilles reprised his role as Achilles in *Assassin's Creed: Rogue*
"Get the HELL off my land!!!" XDDD
I become really very sad when I saw Achilles died body

Old comment but yeah. Ezio fan-boys just wont let it go. They probably wanted a 4th sequel to him lmao
@@laughingbob5786 You can't blame them. Ezio was the reason many people were interested in the AC
@@laughingbob5786 you misunderstand why this game doesnt get the same amount of praise as each individual game in the Ezio trilogy, it isnt because it wasnt "Ezio 4" its because Connor never evolved as a character, he stayed the same naive boy he started as throughout the whole game, the only time we really see him overcome that and develop as a character is in the cut ending speech, which was cut from the game..
@@whiteass4ssin118 He does evolve, but it is difficult to tell becase he ain't the most expressive fellow in the bunch.
I view Achilles to be Connor's real father instead of Haytham.
When you play AC Rogue you start to understand why Achilles is the way he is 😢
Crazy how different he is in rogue and ac3. And how Shay destroyed the brotherhood and then how Achilles single-handedly destroyed the templars using Haytham’s son
Achilles was a true father to Connor he would be proud of him
"press F to pay respects"
"press X to dig"
16:46 This line has aged too well
Who saw ezio's armor?

23:00 well he changed gears really quickly

This needs to be a meme.
The assassins creed lore is something else and I love it.
The fact that Achilles leg sweeps Connor the same way Haytham did it to him all those years ago at the precursor site.
“Ever since ezio uncorked the bottle” I’ve always like that subtle reference
After playing Rogue, Achilles bestowing the name Connor upon Ratonhnhake;ton hit me in the feels 😔
One detail that I appreciated in this game is that in Achilles' basement where the Templar Order was shown, Shay wasn't there which implies that he truly regretted his actions years ago and to atone from it, he didn't include his former comrade in Connor's hitlist.
I mean, the reason is likely that shay exclusively works outside of the colonies so wouldn't make much sense to keep him on the wall when he will never come across him.
Actually Shay didn’t exist yet in the AC universe, so that’s why he wasn’t up on the wall with the rest of the templars.
@@stephano2000012 wtf u smoking? AC Rogue happened before AC3. Plus in the remastered, nothing changed. It's intended.
@@RainSennin_ismyAlt no shit it happened before AC3. He's referring to the fact his character didn't exist yet during 2012.
@@KingShibe and yet in the remastered, released AFTER Shay was introduced, there is still no picture of Shay or mention of him
Achillies saw Shay in Connor. Both men had raw talent and eager to do the work. But his failure with Shay taught him a lesson and transformed Connor into the greatest Assasin in the USA. Achillies is basically the Yoda of the Story. Liam is the Obi-Wan who died trying to stop his friend, Aveline is Princess Leia, Edward is Han, Adewale is Mace, Shay is Anakin and Connor is Luke. Yoda failed Anakin, and through him, he paid the price of his arrogance and blindness, now he has a chance anew. A chance in the form of Connor, the young boy filled with hopes and a goal to accomplish.
Achilles didnt fail with Shay, he failed Shay, he sent him to meddle with power he didnt understand and inadvertently caused Shay to slaughter hundreds, then instead of listening to him, hr shrugged it off and put the blame onto Shay, only realising the error of his ways when he himself went to another precursor site
10:14 - to this day I still laugh at that. Achilles is one hell of a prankster.
16:29 : "What have you done" This cracks me up always! 😂
You could of used a tree!
"Better to be thought a Spaniard than a native. And both are better still than I."
"That is not true."
"What's true and what is, aren't always the same."
Oh, how I hurt... :(
And later during the fight with an imposter of Benjamin Church one of them ordered "Get him and the Indian!"
"Maybe THIS'LL get ya talkin'... Oh, it seems a blade has pierced my back."
Not only did Conner bring hope and redemption to Achillies he also brought joy and fun. He was probably content to die a regretful lonely old man with all his regrets, but conner and the homesteaders brought him new life he was able to have before he passed and could probably pass in peace.
I wonder why Achilles did agree on training (and practically adopting) Ratonhaketon, and gave him his late son's name. Did he take Connor since he was the son of Haytham, the Grand Master and the one who crippled him? Or did he do so because he believed in Connor, that Connor will bring the Brotherhood back and pick up where he had failed.
Maybe he saw Potential which Shay comac don’t have (Assassin Traitor from AC Rogue) And also he saw him similarities of Shay but pure and moral so I guess ge decided to train him as Assassin Achilles was trained by Mayan Assassin Ah Tabai you know Adéwale’s mentor so no racial discrimination for me
Shay 27:18 - 27:28? 19:42 too
+ристиян Григоров
Connor's just blaming Achilles for failing to keep the Assassins together but, yeah, now we know that Shay was a part of that.
It was achilles fault for not listening to shay
Alfa Romeo exactly!!!
Achilles was stubborn and just a fool!!!
Shay struggled with going forward with the Templars because he was killing people he knew since his adolescence. He only helped the Templars because Achilles' brotherhood was allowing gangsters to commit crimes in New York, Kesegowase to attack colonial towns and villages in Albany and the frontier, as well as supporting the French in the war. Shay wanted to do good and he found good men in the Templars. But Lee and Haytham? They used their own members. Weeks and Walsh were both probably offed after their use. Then you have Haytham being supportive of the French Templars corruption during his reign if you played AC Unity, then he even allowed gangs back in New York and Boston, and he also broke the Templars' promise to Laurence Washington about not bothering George Washington, his lil brother. He let a loose cannon like Lee run about and cause turmoil for Connor. Haytham uses people when he has to and he used Shay as well. Shay saw more good than bad in the Templars he was around but if he stayed long enough next to those like Lee, Hinkley, and Haytham then no doubt he would've turned corrupt.
Cafer Ulger Shay was too brash to start blaming Achilles for those deaths in Lisbon. Achilles was just as surprised as Shay was because he never thought that the incident in Haiti was connected with Mackandal and his apprentice tampering with that pillar of Eden.
Achilles was a bad mentor of the Brotherhood, but he also helped to give it a second chance.
Still one of the best stories in gaming
23:09 - Connor is such a kid inside. Just like his grandfather Edward.
The Empire Stikes Back/Return of the Jedi Yoda segment inspirations are very strong here.... especially the 'I cant kill my father' parts...
8:54 even though Ubisoft didn't have the balls to show slave trade was happening , they had some compassion to include those lines. The amount of Achilles's pain in those lines.
@Sai Ram
I wish they would have done a bit more but at least at the very end of the game, we get to see the irony of the colonists celebrating their freedom while slaves are literally being auctioned on the pier in New York behind them.
@@Sevvina absolutely
And then we got Freedom Cry where we liberate slaves to unlock stuff💀
15:10 - I love of the music stopped at that.
I have a bad cold, lost most of my voice and now I sound exactly like him for the moment. Made me think to look this up.
How I wish I can play AC III for the first time again
RIP Achillies
Shay destroyed the brotherhood. Conner re-built the brotherhood.
You could argue that Shay actually saved the brotherhood because Achilles corrupted it and Shay joined the Templars to correct his mistakes and he was never truly a Templar in mindset since he convinced Haytham to spare Achilles and didn't pursue Connor, and it was only because of Shay's actions that Achilles realized his mistakes.
Imagine this scene in Australia.
1793, Connor hurried to Sydney Cove only to be surrounded by thousands of guards, all armed. Moving on to general melee attacks, Connor unleashed havoc on the New South Wales Corps. During his confrontation, he was level-headed and defeated thousands of opponents with his tomahawk, disarming and dodging attacks from many directions. He could strike with exactitude before his opponent could react, and subdued individuals twice his size.
With reinforcements now closing in around him, the Native American assassin suddenly realised his physical prowess, speed and endurance were enhanced as though some mystical powers overtook him. He took care then to keep each opponent on the back foot by spreading his moves between them, and in this way he escaped major damage. By now Connor had drawn sufficient power to unleash special properties in combat. By trial, he found that he could not only dash in super speed, but his strength was amplified. And in those few seconds, he was able to dash from one to the next, vanquishing each in a single blow. By now he felt more comfortable in his abilities against foes such as these, and resolved to save this miracle of combat for stiffer opposition.
After his fight was won, he heard sounds of grunts and gasps. His first inclination was to drop over a rail to the streets of Sydney Cove below, yet he noticed two guards patrolling at a farther balcony, and stayed his hand to look for a route that he might challenge them where they stood. He slowly moved to see Shay mercilessly punching and kicking a man whose hands were tied above him. An outhouse section stood to one side, its door ablaze. Shay left the man, huffily. From its roof he had height enough to run out on a wall and spring away to grab a wooden beam over the heads of the two sentries. As one moved away, Connor chose the moment to drop down and finish him with two slashes of his blade. The second stood unaware as he crept up behind and slashed just once. With them dead, Connor severed the rope that bound his hands, dropping him to the ground.
“Qui es tu?”
“What?” Connor wondered.
“Who are you?”
“I’m an assassin. Connor.”
“Assassin? You appear to be a Native.”
“I am. Who are you?” asked Connor.
“Arno Dorian. I am an assassin or at least I was before the brotherhood banished me.”
“What happened?”
“It’s a long story…”
“BRACE YOURSELF!”
Shay shouted while sliding from a zip line. Caught suddenly off balance, Connor suffered a kick in return. Alone with space to manoeuvre, Connor got up and kicked him in the groin area sending Shay staggering. Shay attacked immediately, but Connor blocked and countered all of his attacks and he kicked Connor aside. He collected himself and Shay tried again, failed to land a good hit and Arno kicked Shay to the ground.
"Who are you?" asked Shay.
“I was trained by Achilles. Now step aside.”
“Achilles? I should have known Achilles would never learn. In that case, you will make a good target.”
"You joined the templars. Achilles told me you were once an assassin who joined the templars. Now you became my father's puppet."
“You're the one whom the poor sod I killed in Versailles mentioned.” Shay sighed.
“Killed? Versailles? Quoi? You? You killed my father?” Arno realised.
“What of it? I wouldn’t just cry over a business that has been concluded, if I were you.” Shay rebuffed.
“And you sparked the whole French Revolution and made me lose everything.”
“You catch on quick, boy. You killed Weeks, Gist and James Cook." Shay recalled.
"I have the foggiest idea about what you're talking about."
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I made a mistake in sparing Achilles. Die, assassin!"
@@TheLatiosnlatias02 interesting plot twist.
- - Shay vs. Connor & Arno - -
Without recourse, Shay leapt at Arno and Connor. Shay's fighting style was as every bit as powerful and deadly as he was when killing the assassins. With plenty of anger in him this time, Arno tried whatever he could against the man who murdered his father. Although an expert fighter in the assassin techniques, Shay’s expertise and weaponry prove too much to cope with for Arno. Connor's rapid healing was a useful asset that kept him throughout the whole events from the American Revolution to Hawkesbury and Nepean Wars proved more of a match for Shay, but even he could not withstand the fury of the templar.
Unlike other templars who were killed by the use of stealth, this one was to be facing each other in hand to hand combat. Unlike Haytham who held back for unclear reasons, Connor faced a templar who was willing to fight for real without hesitations. He released berserk darts from his firearm. Connor was gripped in the lash of the darts' effects. Snarling and growling, Connor chased Shay and Arno who avoided his blind rage. A misdirect hit from Connor sent Shay to the ground. Judging by the injuries, they weren't too severe as similar to Haytham and Connor, Shay could heal at swift rate. He dealt a hard blow to the possessed Connor, knocking him to the floor. As the effects wore off, unlike his victims who died, Connor went in a state of fatigue. However he couldn't afford to relax or get caught in Shay's hidden blades.
“I feel nauseous.”
Arno jumped in to cover Connor who was in a recovery state. Connor tried to clear his head from its contents. The French assassin took out his cutlass and the Irish templar took out his sword, both clashed. Arno vowed.
“You will pay for killing my father.”
“Killed him? I was doing France a huge service.”
“So many casualties are lumping on my country, far greater than the last damage you did.” Arno reminded.
“I was merely bringing order and balance.” Shay was not touched.
Connor bounded to his side, recovered. Both Arno and Connor were formidable assassins with plenty of weapons and mystical powers to fight with, but Shay's unnatural strength and powers still gave him the edge in combat. As the three men battled, Arno initially remained on the defensive, blocking Shay's amazingly fast attacks, but eventually he, deciding to go on the offensive, followed the templar's movements closely enough to catch his arm and land a blow. Although Shay was barely cut, Arno had demonstrated whatever he learned with Bellec. Undeterred, Connor jumped in and beat Shay who sneered.
“Achilles taught you well. You must have had a good teacher. And you can follow him to Hell.”
From his rifle rolled a useful gift: a fragmentation grenade with a powerful blast radius.
"Why? What have you got against Achilles?"
"Achilles was always a failed mentor who murdered his followers." Shay pointed out.
"Achilles may have made mistakes, but he never murdered his followers." Connor rebuffed.
"Is it not murder to send ill-prepared assassins like you to their demise?"
This brought no answer. In furious sequence, Shay fired three grenades in rapid succession at Connor who tried to steer a course between the grenades. They heard rapid ticking as a grenade bounced towards him.
"Take this," Shay growled.
“Watch out!” Arno shouted.
Arno and Connor dodged aside from the blast. The grenades exploded. And in so doing it inflicted damage that Connor could not long sustain, leaving his health at its lowest. Connor had at least the miracle of the swift healing with which to undo such hurt as he suffered, if more than one took its toll, but he somehow sensed he would need such miracles to better purpose. He flipped himself back on his feet and drew a wary path between the remaining grenades, nearly obscured in dazzling clouds of dust as the explosions wore off. His assassin's instinct signalled him to avoid Shay's incoming attack with his hidden blade and grabbed him by his head. Shay grabbed Connor from behind in the hopes of restraining him. Connor lifted his legs up, gathered every ounce of strength and crashed his feet to the ground, dropping Shay onto the ground. Connor smashed Shay's head on the table before smashing a glass bottle on his head.
"You should have joined the templar." Shay insisted.
"Even if you were a templar, you had some sense of honour. Achilles told me you rendered Arno an orphan. Where's that sense of honour in that? I am an orphan, you must be an orphan too. Arno is an orphan."
“How dare you speak the word orphan to me?” Shay huffed.
Panting hard, with a deft thrust Arno plunged the berserk date onto the templar's neck. Caught in a paroxysm of madness and rage, Shay went on a destructive rampage. The two assassins avoided Shay who was sweeping his sword crazily. This drew fully half his strength. The rogue assassin was stilled for a moment, and teetered on collapse. However, his recovery was swift. Connor closed in on Shay to try combat one-on-one. No crude fighter he was; the templar blocked expertly and swung his sword in swift reply. Hidden blades jutted out from Shay’s sleeves. Connor’s assassin’s instincts signalled him to counter the latter’s hidden blades with his.
Arno took a chair and tried to smash it onto Shay who avoided it. He kicked Shay in the groin, causing him to falter again. It was undignified but effective. Connor grabbed his opponent and smashed him against a wooden fence. The Irish swordsman closed in from behind, and Connor was knocked heavy blows as he attempted to block. A boot kicked out. He could not afford to be caught close to Shay, and rolled aside as the sword crashed down. Agility was his surest defence. Connor tried his best to cause his stamina to wear off. Shay's skill and finesse as well as those of Arno’s are equal to each other. Shay pressed the attack as hard as he could. Arno held no such qualms and gave a kick to the groin. Arno gave another to the face and the final kick was to the head. Shay still proved to be a fast and formidable opponent, but Arno was always faster and his skills in battle surpassed the rogue assassin. Connor punched Shay in the face. Shay scored with a punch to the gut and a follow through punch to the face, but Arno returned blow with a high kick, forcing his foe to defend. Arno hit a right jab to the murderer of his father and followed through with a left hook to the face that knocked him to the ground. He fought back as well as he was able. Arno seemed never to gain advantage before his opponent lunged fast to assault him from behind. To single one of the assassins out, Shay fired a dart at Arno, causing him to feel dizzy.
“Hey… w…watch… out…”
“Arno!” called Connor.
- - Shay vs. Connor & Arno (part 2) - -
Arno dropped onto the ground, sleeping. Perhaps to momentarily grant him enough time and space to finish Connor. Shay seemed inexhaustible and durable. He could not hope to hold him at bay. Shay moved nimbly as Connor launched the attack, and once more railed on the stricken assassin. Connor recalled the berserk dart and avoided them. He caught one of them and stabbed him again. As the templar went into a maddened state, he thrust and slashed furiously in the wrong direction. Frustrated by his attempts falling short, Shay looked about and saw the carts full of hay. He quickly retreated and hid inside one of the carts. Eagle Vision was a great asset to help him spot where his foe was. A whistle called him. As much as he didn’t want to fall into the trap as with those who fell to the hidden blades, Connor approached with caution.
Before he fell prey to his enemy’s hidden blades, he sensed his stalker emerging from it and grabbed Shay’s wrists before dropping him to the ground. He had already learned how much he had come to depend on his weapons, and a reckless approach would not do here. Out of the blue, he quickly hid inside another haystack and quickly tried to make sure he was successful in his attempts. Mere child’s play perhaps; perhaps this was a game after all.
This time knowing what the outcome was, Connor quickly got to the haystack. Any mistake for Connor would be terminal. Shay once more got out to grab Connor, this time he tried to stab his neck. In his distress, Connor raised his forearm to prevent himself from being killed, grabbed Shay before smashing him against a table, a wall and throwing him to the ground.
Drowned in his dreams, Arno swirled to the depths and recalled Shay murdering his father, his time in prison, the French Revolution and his banishment from the brotherhood. Strange whispering voices and half-human cries filled Arno’s senses. Arno got up, his body felt numb.
“How did you… no fair! I killed assassins like this, but you? What are you?”
“I am an assassin like my grandfather and my ancestors before me.” Connor declared.
“I have underestimated you. I’m a master in stealth and hand to hand combat. No more sleeping darts or berserk darts? I never… I never ever felt insulted in my life. No assassin could have bested me. Not even pitiful, dull Achilles.”
He was about to check for his pouches and grunted with anger since his tactics were failing. Shay fired his two flintlock pistols. Smoke bombs were the very least he had in his disposal. He used it to escape when under fire or to distract the templar and Connor found this opportunity to beat him down. Before Connor was about to finish him, he threw a multitude of grenades, forcing the Native American to find solid obstacles to avoid the explosion. Connor fired an arrow at Shay who avoided it. A shéng biāo impaled Shay's right arm, pulling him towards him. Shay fell to the ground, triggering a line of explosions. Grenades perhaps.
Somewhere else in Port Jackson, Stephane and his allies helped Djarrjuntjun in the eradication of the convicts and British Army, defending the Aborigines. With their warriors’ ardour, they launched a furious assault against a group of slave traders. They had cut them effortlessly. Clipper signalled Duncan to kill the last group of slave traders and Deborah severed the ropes, freeing the Aboriginal slaves.
“Oh, thank you, you are very kind.” an Aborigine woman smiled while tears came out of her eyes.
“Yes, we, the Aborigines owe you.” a man with grey beard offered.
“Our job is much more crucial than gratitude.” said Clipper.
“How many slaves will be free?” asked Deborah.
“That is yet to be answered. Connor is doing his best.” Djarrjuntjun promised.
“Were you a slave before you became an assassin?” asked Stephane.
“No, but my village was burnt down since my childhood. And I wanted to show them what it is to bring death to my family, my people, my home!”
“You’re not alone. We will help you find him soon enough. For now, we got to work on freeing the slaves.” Stephane placed a hand on Djarrjuntjun’s shoulder.
“You will do that?”
“We helped Connor, though it turned out nothing went well in the end.” Stephane reminisced.
“What do you mean?” asked Djarrjuntjun.
“There were slaves and his people were gone. We will ensure yours don’t fall the same way as them.” Jacob explained.
“And you helped?”
“Connor fought against slavery and brought them to Australia.” said Jacob.
“Arabanoo betrayed my people by siding with the invaders.” Djarrjuntjun felt upset.
“Well, on the plus side, we freed the slaves and we eradicated those convicts.” said Deborah.
Believing the explosions would end him, Shay emerged from the smoke, his robes burnt and in tatters plus his hair was now loosened, revealing it to be shoulder length.
“I can’t believe it. How did I end up like this? I threw grenades only for me to be dragged into them?”
“How is this possible?”
Connor was dumbstruck by his survival. It was a miracle that he survived the explosion.
“I hate… I… hate…”
A multitude of grenades came Connor’s way and the fire was getting hot. Seeing that grenades and darts were wasted, anger overtook him. Shay stabbed at Connor, who dodged. Confounded by the speed of his victim, the brute struck solid stone, striking sparks; the right hidden blade drove into the wall and became stuck. The Native American assassin saw his chance. He moved swiftly behind and rained blows on the stunned man, doubled over and suddenly helpless. Arno got up, groggily. The right hidden blade became blunt and it snapped to shards. As Shay closed in from behind and suddenly loomed close, Connor rolled aside just in time. As before, but this time the left hidden blade became stuck in the ground. Now Connor rolled behind, and paused for a fraction to allow Arno to do the honours. The second hidden blade fell to the ground. Seeing they were now useless, Shay dropped the braces or gauntlets to the ground. Blinded by rage and aggression, Shay felt all of his weapons were completely spent, forcing him to drop them. This time, his templar sword was the only weapon he had left. Connor and Arno took out their swords. Neither of them could last against each other. Shay became increasingly irritated.
I was just thinking "wheres connors native dad?" And for a second forgot about haythem.
He was trained by Ah Tabai the Mayan mentor in AC4
The same Mentor who trained his Gramdfather too
Achilles:but dont think you can just come in throw those on and call yourself an assassin
Connor: Didnt my grandfather did that
A little fun fact or just a theory but a majority of ppl say that connor's robe was actually the (stolen) robes of (duncan walpole) edward and it was modified more to its current look in ac3
Holy crap. Just played through the death of Achilles. I’m destroyed.
A black man in a slave era that trained a native american freedom fighter, i always found that so poetic.
My favorite AC games, this one and Rogue
