Being An Assassin Must Be Lonely | AC Origins Stealth & Escape
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 มิ.ย. 2022
- I often think about the psychological and emotional consequences of dedicating oneself to the brotherhood. Especially if you become a field assassin, where you need to spend vast amounts of time by yourself. It must be a very difficult and even monastic existence to be a true assassin. I think AC Origins is the best to show this idea of loneliness as the map of Egypt is so huge and bayek often finds himself dwarfed by impossible mountains and lost in unforgiving sands. Even when he reaches civilization he is a stranger who constantly needs to gauge if the people he meets are friends or foes. I often wonder what the consequences to the psyche would be, of going for such prolonged periods of time without proper human contact/relationships.
This is probably made worse by the constant threat of death and the constant necessity for violence and deceit. It seems so unnatural and inhumane to maintain a life where your default state of existence involves some sort of hostility. How could someone stay sane after that? what amount of mental maintenance in an assassin's downtime is required to be able to stay sane? This is why I chose to post this video even if I got detected. I normally scrap this stuff, but the detection and thrilling escape scene, to me, highlight how when you're an assassin, it is literally you against the world in every sense of the word. When you enter a guarded fort, it is one man against an army. If you are spotted, you could risk not only dying but compromising the brotherhood. The pressures of performing your function as an assassin seem psychologically unsustainable. Perhaps we think an assassin reaching old age is an accomplishment. But unless you reach peace and enlightenment like Ezio did, it is probably a larger mercy to die early, before the life these men and women have chosen truly takes a toll. Idk, let me know your thoughts.
Assassin's Creed Origins is a 2017 action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft. It is the tenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2015's Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

Do you guys ever think about stuff like this or is it just me?
we have learned about this thing in every ac game tbh biggest example being our boi altair, dying alone in the library
I bet everyone in the community felt a similar way
Not really answer for your question, but that Yamato sword on your hip... Really cool 👍
@@SamuelUmagat SLEEP! I NEVER SLEEP! I just wait in the shadows and I'll kill you all. It's crystal clear in my mind. it was scary and EPIC!
Not really but after reading that it made me think about a lot of stuff they have gone through
This why I love orgin. The big open map, walking across the desert with your camel. The loneliness of it . Gave you a lot of time to think as you travelled the desert . Like a old merchant traveling from cities to cities for a job . But my job is to kill. Assassins have trained their mental strength to the max to be so dedicated . Everytime I passed through a town or village , I would just be thinking how peaceful it would be just getting a house there and farming and living a normal life with wife and kids .
Sad irony of what you said is that Bayek had all of that, and the reason he's a Hidden One in the first place is because it was stripped away from him.
this is eaxctly my thought guys.
Dude i hope and pray that bayek eventually retired and tried to live a normal life. Though I think he would have met his end the same as Altair, with his only family and loved ones being the Brotherhood.
That description is the kind of thing that makes me love these games. So human yet so alien at the same time. Great stuff
Thats exactly it. Assassin's seem to be both human and not human in so many ways
Kinda the point with the whole isu thing
@@smecs exactly. A great look at humanity from an alien yet subjective perspective
I loved the “escape” part of this video. That’s one of the things I miss from the Ezio games, when guards used to chase you on rooftops. In the newer games they give up chasing so quickly.
yeah i miss that
You can change that in the options in Valhalla.
@@-Cutz- Wish it was in Origins though, perfect map for chases
I loved AC Creed more in that, The planing we do for the assassination, Then The act, Then The scape
I miss that in all AC games....
@UnknownAV persian leader outfit
The scenery and feel at the beginning coupled with Assassin robes takes me back to AC1
yeah 100% love playing this way
@@AltairStealth That base, where is it located in the map ?
@@handel1111 right bang in the middle
How do you get these robes?
@@CallMeHector it's called "Persian leader" and you can purchase it from tailors
Haha seems quite true, love the video great as always man keep up the good work!
Something to think about. And thanks man, likewise love ur recent videos
You should do a who was the loneliest assassin, it can be interesting to see even though these people are part of a brotherhood they can be the loneliest.
But on a general aspect, talking about something similar to what is written in the description would be a cool video subject, and would be a great way to democratize the philosophical aspects of Assassin's creed since you have a big channel covering the series. It might help newer fans understand better the games maybe encouraging them to play the old one and who knows maybe helping Ubi too.
Hello my Master
this is like a DC Marvel crossover
@@matteolefevre9514 @MasterAssassin this would be an interesting video
I still think its the best looking assassin creed game out there
One of the most beautiful games ever!
@@LionMob indeed
Not to mention the AMAZING SOUNDTRACK
It is gorgeous beyond belief
@@AltairStealth indeed maan
To those wandering, the outfit is the Persian leader in white, there is a video of Nova Ice with shield and bow but looks less cool
thanks king
wait you can unequip a shield?? and what katan is that??
@@Nice_Boat yes you equip a ubisoft shield/bow and disconnect your ubisoft connect from your account and load up your game and they’ll be gone and then you can reconnect everything once done and you’ll gain everything back
How do you get them? I am currently on nu second run of ACO and would Love to get them.
On the topic of outfits, I really like the white version of the Maasai outfit, and think it suits Bayek better than his Hidden Ones outfit
beautiful, just beautiful. this is why in AC 1, masyaf was inspired by monasteries and by religion in general. we could say that the assassins don't go well with religion and dogma, but when we see the discipline, the robes, the dedication and faith in the brotherhood, the lessons and sublimation of pain, and the little things, how altair meditates before starting an assassination mission, it really feels like a creed. it feels like those are men doing things that take them to the edge. and escapes are very thrilling. hitting the replay buttom over and over to get a perfect run takes a lot of joy from the game. the little things that happen in some games, like faction fights and daring escapes are aways a great experience. i only like to really be perfectly stealthy in the major assassinations, that are designed to be played multiple times to get the most enjoyment out of it.
It goes back to that conversation about religion vs cult. Are they all that different? agree with you
The religious backdrop to AC1 is one of my favourite things about that game. Templars actually are Templars. The Assassins, while fictional, pay subtle homages to the real assassins, a sect of Islam
Man you can really see how he tries to make this parkour system look good and he is good at it
ey thanks bro!
I've been binge watching your videos and honestly I have no words for you. Your content intrigues me everytime no matter what it is. And I have to say the way you switch up your play style for origins is incredible. The fact that this game is so limited to stealth and combat, you just seem to bring the best out of all of it. Thank you.
dude...this comment made my day. thanks man
I imagine Bayak was made for this transition in his life. Seeing he was Medjay at first being high guard then having everything stripped I imagine the training and isolation of being elite made him suitable for it then the rage that followed you. You say he felt alone how could he not ? But that solitude molded him into a master.
the description made me remember a mission where bayek found an old friend, claridas iirc (i dont remember his real name) bayek is happy and smiling when talking to him, but when his friend turns around his expression completely changes, same thing with that warrior woman that helps in the arena, these might have been friends once, but he needs to keep his guard up, he cant trust them anymore, thing is he actually could trust the woman at least, his lack of trust in her is what drove her away, it shows that being this way is a double edged dagger, keeps you safe because you dont trust anyone (or almost anyone) but also makes you paranoid and people dont trust you in return
crazy how to fight for humanity you are required to lose a little faith in it. not even former friends get the benefit of the doubt
amazing gameplay as always! really liked the fact that you used berserk trick and also used sleep darts with fire in this video. it's nice to see somebody else so interested in this game, its mechanics and tricks!
Glad you enjoyed!
I love how simple AC Origins stealth is
Simple and consistent
@@AltairStealth Yeah it’s simple unlike Unity and unlike Valhalla with it’s terrible and inconsistent stealth
and you can do some movie shit with it..simple but creative
@@mr.melendez3872 yeah
@@mr.melendez3872 it was perhaps too good because its not that simple to manuever at all it really takes alot of precision and skill to master its stealth
Honestly, it really didn’t give me that kind of feel until I played revelation, damn the intro and Ezio in Masyaf gives me a lot of goosebumps back in 2014 when I was only 12. I’m not sure if I’m one of minority who actually played AC1 as my first game, but seeing Masyaf covered with snow storm and Ezio as an old man who still kicking ass and not give up on finding the truth makes me feels dreary and sad. God damn revelation is truly a piece of fine art, it’s still my top3 AC until this very day.
revelations is insane
@@AltairStealth can’t agree more
Dude didn’t expect such an introspective essay in a TH-cam description,
Really well written man.
This makes me want to revisit ac origins again. Perfect description too wow. Got me contemplating
Dew it
The very last AC game, that i really enjoyed!
same
Good video! Also, I agree with the title unless the Assassin is working in a brotherhood. However, they might be physically surrounded by others, but be mentally lonely; having relationships with other assassins would help to share their thoughts. In Bayek's case, he is lonely, though he has friends, but he lost and gave up everything he once had and what he once was to protect the people's freedom. That's what being an assassin is.
it seems like a necessary sacrifice perhaps
@@AltairStealth perhaps. There are those who must persevere so that others can be happy and prosper.
This kind of lifestyle makes it hard to get a functional relationship
There is to much to loose and if your enemys get to know about this kind of things people you love friends family they will use that against you
@@user-mr6tg1yw2g yes exactly.
@@user-mr6tg1yw2g similar to an assassin, Bayek's version of being a Medjay is also to protect and fight for the people, and we know how his enemies took advantage of his loved one.
For me it's actually quite hard to remain full stealth in Origins & Odyssey because the buildings and terrains aren't compensate to do so, just like what had u show it here. To make it worse is how enemies could spot u from mile away like those gunners on AC Unity
agreed mate
that's what your bows are for
@@whydoineedahandle793 till ur bow doesn't do enough damage lol.
Anyway, I remember watched some TH-camrs that I forgot his name but truth is this is the main & common problem about stealth in RPG AC games. Just as I said, sometimes the terrains aren't compensate to do so & sometimes also ur bow level & skills aren't enough to do range kills. Well, at least in Valhalla it's quite have a dense of building & u could have a guaranteed assassination
point taken but I'd argue that the series was never stealth focused in the first place apart from tailing missions.
Cool video,i just started the game again inspired by your last one.I like the seer tree as well,gives that real assassin vibe.
awesme to hear man! I wann replay this game too
Really enjoyed the video and your thoughts
Much appreciated!
God this game really made me feel alone in a big world, especially the desert parts, great gameplay and philosophy there
thank you
Man I love watching your vids. You really play ac how it was intended and it’s awesome. You’d be a good assassin my friend
thank you brother!
YES, the Persian Leader outfit at last!
see i listen ;)
@@AltairStealth Always a kickass outfit, even in parkour.
@@AltairStealth BTW, the description is what AC is completely all about and you absolutely nailed it. I stand by though, that Bayek in a way passes away Caesar War of the Planet of the Apes style looking away to the foundations of the Brotherhood in Masyaf. Would have been the sickest ending in AC.
Nice description bro. You got a way with words.
thanks bro
Another awesome video mate your an inspiration 🙏
Legend!
i don’t really have a power setup to play the game in high def and it being this smooth fps so dayum it’s nice to watch things like this
yeah its satisfying
The description made me shed a manly tear.
as a man i sympathise
Dude this description gave me a whole new sense of the word lonely
makes you think about our favourite characters doesnt it
@@AltairStealth yeah. I mean, now I'm having flashbacks of seeing loneliness in my favorite characters in movies or games, and I never really under why they were so emotional until now, thank you for opening my eyes :)
I could watch this all day
Excellent thinking, game production requires this kind of deep analysis ability.
agreed
Congrats for 5k bro
thank you dude
This game is awesome... Man u torture me these days i dont have any time to play haha! Good job mate keep it up!
thanks dude!
Even when you got spotted you played it off so well, very well done ✔️
thanks zoomer
@@AltairStealth keep up the good work 👌🏻💯
Bro Playing Origins like it's Unity
one can dream
Amazing Gameplay AC Origins truly is GOT and I've Also just subbed
nice to see you here and origins rocks
This sure took few tries to make perfect gameplay, amazing work !
Thanks a ton!
greatly done sir Altair
thank you king
AC Origins BG music and ambiance is superb
IKR
I had so much fun with Origins!
same bro
3:55 music is so cool with bayek
rigth?
@@AltairStealth good night altair.. im just finished ac valhalla dawn of ragnarök in all territory👾 im crazy about this game as you love origins
Best AC game. Great gameplay, Bayek is a badass.
he is a G
in my oppinion its mid.remmember when ubi took a crossbow out of assassins creed 1 for being historically inaccurate?yeah.now theyre adding unicorns and uncamels.and u cant even feel badass in origins.feeling badass was wiping out entire armies in early ac games,and walking like nothing happened.but now with origins u cant even deal with an
entire army its just numbers and spam. counters dont even feel like the ones that were made in the early games.
I love this game! Games pass makes me want to replay this game rn but just recently playing Valhalla and trying to finish the DLCs .
nice
Hey I'm thinking of buying Valhalla. I like stealth and direct combat equally but the biggest complaint I've heard of it is that the world feels empty and the grind is too much. What are your thoughts on this?
This game had a really good soundtrack and it's dope as hell that you get to meet Cleopatra and Julius Caesar
Yeah it was sick
Clean, very clean, just smooth
Appreciate that
Bro, I think you should use dual swords in vids where you use the no bow or shield glitch. Because if you ever get into a fight in one of these vids and you have a one handed weapon and want to block Bayek will block using his arm.
good point
Babe wake up new Altair stealth vid
daddy
@@AltairStealth sus
1:45 that kill was personal.
LMAO
I think it's almost poetic how together with that description, the video ends with a leap of faith. Like throughout the anguish and mental strain of being an Assassin, they still perform the leap of faith as a commitment to the Brotherhood. That maybe by having faith in the creed, it will give meaning to the suffering they endure. Maybe. Eh, I dunno lmao.
perhaps
What's that outfit for Bayek ?! Oh nice gameplay man !!! Incredible !!
Ac origins really reminds me of ac 1
same
Great play
thanks
game developers are sure proud of a such perfect gameplay like this
i hope
A perfect video!!
thank you!
2022 and this game still looks more beautiful then the newest title
facts
You know an assassin is good when they don't even trap the brazier.
Facts
0:53 that was good
;)
i love the way that stealth evolved like in brotherhood if u do a fall kill it would alert everyone now u do a fall kill and it keep sleeping
hahah
This man is so good that he can fight without his shield
Bayek is a king
i thought i was the only one that knew about the poison and sleep darts if you throw them in a fire source it creates a cloud,it changes so many enconters in this game,it s kinda sorta a hidden mechanic
its a cool trick they never mention
I had no idea, thanks for this!
It's introduced in Syndicate but it's never tutorialized in Origins. Well tbf, kind of little bit pointless since guards/enemies rarely gathered on fire sources unlike in Syndicate so people would probably barely think to pull this off
@@imamfn you have the torch... :)
@@imamfn I don't think they doesn't gather around fire, at least from what I've seen. At night there are torches all over the place and near almost any guard, so you are able to target at least 2 or 3 with a single dart. I use it a lot, it works perfectly and look cool af :D
These games makes it easy to fast travel place to place in spans of moments, or run indefinitely without ever stopping to breath. I think if one to actually role play through a whole game and almost have a “Ghost Mode” like Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint. Setting up camps, scouting, and then even co-op? Ilife or death stakes t would be a blast
where you have to move place to place on your feet and gear up only at select places. I know it’s a stretch, but imagine setting up for a mission like you would in Wildlands, set up a came, scout the base and stealth your way in and if you get caught it’s game over. (The game over part would suck particularly for the AC style of game) but That type of thrill would be fun in an AC game.
This is so true
Looks so cool with no bow
ikr
This is my favorite AC, I only hate the ship part of this game. Thanks for the great video.
yeah ship part sucks
Yeah naval combat in general shouldn’t have been in AC in my opinion though it felt much better in Odyssey
Greatest character
yes
Imagine using hands to slide down the rope :D. Nice video tho!
hands of steel
Honestly this was dope. This is how assassin's Creed should be
Lets hope mirage is like this
@@AltairStealth my thoughts exactly 👍🏾
that outfit is so badass
ikr
Well written
thanks bro
One of the best games
100%
Clean look you got, once again ill use it on My bayek
nice man! its very assassin
@@AltairStealth defo
Love this game
same dude same
Dude honestly you’ve out done yourself here.. sick
thanks Ton!
Fans explaining what an Assassin might feel: this description
Ubisoft: easy money, revenge story or City controlled by a bad person story.
sad times
To methe assassins always seemed like jedi, they give everything away and maintain a sort of sanity through dedication to their beliefs and self reflection/meditation . They probably get lonely but they give up most of their attachments so they learn to live with it
similar to jedi i guess
@@AltairStealth Ironically, how the Creed formed was similar to the Sith's Rule of Two. Before Bayek, the proto assassins were either people with personal vendettas or their own greedy ambitions. But that led to their demise and destruction most of the time. So Bayek and Amunet essentially while they don't know them, they essentially gave the Assassin ideology a new life on its own with the Creed as it formed out throughout their lifetimes with Altair and Ezio onwards following it.
With the Sith comparison, it was Darth Bane who gave new life to the Sith with the Rule of Two as the previous Sith fell victim to infighting power struggles due to the nature of their order thus allowing the Jedi to destroy them millenia before Palpatine successfully destroyed them back.
Damn i love this outfit !
same its so clean
This is still the best one in the RPG trilogy. Beyek still deserve sequels
100%
Even Arno and Shay deserves sequel.
That katana though :3
right?
@@AltairStealth yes :3
Exploring these games is so good I dont know why peoplez critizing AC games for things like Marker in the maps like if it prevent for anything
Hey man! Nice vids and you play like a true master assassin lol I wanted to ask how did you get that costume?
Persian Leader outfit :)
Is that one of the Persian outfits? I love it, it gives me Altaïr vibes but is more fitting for the setting.
yeah without a shield it looks so clean
@@AltairStealth How do you get this outfit please?
AC unity stealth had a feature in which you could stick to the wall and then assassinate. This feature would have been welcomed in AC origins
true
Bayek tbh looks like an actual member of Hashashin
he really does its so awesome
Looks like starforge Revan
I love me that Persian Leader outfit.
its so clean
assassins kinda renounce all attachments outside the brotherhood. how much they follow this rule varies wildly (cough cough arno)
i think theyd definitely get lonely
bayek probably in particular is especially lonely given his entire story
yeah exactly
he walks like hes about to lead a pogrom and burn down my house
Awesome video, and love the thoughts you included in the desc. Is not having a shield equipped a PC mod?
Nah i made a video on how to remove it
@@AltairStealth Found it, thank you so much!
Damn. I would have had to send the bird up there & spend like 8 minutes marking everyone before I made a single move.
Lol!
Man I hate how they made the cloth physics in the new games horrible compared to this.For me it just feels like you're running faster and seeing the cloth trying to catch the body,but in reality it makes you feel cool.Having those elements helps you in photo mode,the wind blowing between the legs just gives of the vibe of being connected to the world.Sorry for the ramble about the cloth physics but it's the only thing that pisses me off in these games plus the no hood thing.Great video made me jump back into the game again to get all the achievements.😅
cloth physics are so important for AC
What sword do you have equipped here? Also, goated video btw, love the content!
have a katana :)
Amazing video friend, may I ask what outfit you are using?
I forgot
God I love this game
same bro
i platinum every ac creed, origins my best
love oriigns
I've always preferred Origins combat and parkour over Odyssey's. I know Odyssey uses the same engine and practically everything that Origin does, but it just feels like I slide over environments more than being on them, while in Origins you actually feel like you're apart of the world.
Yeah i agree
I feel like Odyssey’s parkour is actually a downgrade, I know you can back and side eject in Origins but I don’t recall that in Odyssey.
