Assassin's Creed Origins came out last week, and that can be said about it is..."WOW." In some backstory to how this game came to be, the idea of going to ancient Egypt was tossed around for a very long time. Fans wanted it, aꦜnd Ubisoft clearly wanted to do this as well. The time period is perfect ♒due to all the drama and extremely interesting real world material.

Most of what one tends to see in Assassin's Creed games are mostly accurate historically. The developers try very hard to research and make sure everything is perfect. Obviously, our hero has to be added into this world... thus, sort of messing with history a bit. However, they have always tried to keep things as close as possible. That is why our Assassin sided with the United States in the Revolution game. Since the U.S won the American Revolutionary War,🐽 it made sense.

Being thrown into THIS world is a lot different, as there is so much that could involve an assassin that does not even need to involve them with political figures. Though you do end up seeing this throughout the game, with real people involved. This game is also made by the people who made the Black Flag or Pirate Assassin game, which was also quite different from other Assassin's games before it.

While Black Flag truly wrote the book for all other Assassin's games when it comes to changes that fans wanted, Origins takes things to an entirely new level. There are a ton of things that are in this game that you could never do before. On top of this, there are things we once could do but couldn't in later games. Check out this list of amazing things you did not know you could do in Assassin's Creed Origins.

15 ℱ Man Of Fire 🍸

One of the first things you use in the game as you start it up is your torch. This is commonly used in the game because Egyptian empire, and many places around it, have lovely places to explore. Many of these are caves or taverns, and of cou🔯rse pyramids. All of these areas tend to be darkened, thus leading to the need of the torch. One thing you may not know is that this torch is quite handy.

Your torch is equipped the entire game, which you may not notice right off but you would learn down the line when you need it again. You have no need for materials to start it, as it just starts on its own. This torch is not just useful during darkened times, but also as distractions.🤡 Gamers can light a lot of things on fire in this world, as it is quite active. You could be on fire, your horse, and many other things. You could burn down trees, seriously.

This can be used as a distraction, and🐼 of course an aide to help kill enemies. Trust us, everything can be put on fire, the arrows mos🏅t of all. Really, fire is one of the best resources in the entire game.

14 Chari💯ot War

A lot of people heard ancient Egypt, and automatically knew that a lot of things would be in play. While Rome and Greece are known for their amazing chariot races and gladiator fights, Egypt is not far off. However, Alexandria (a mainstay of Greece under Alexander the Great), youও will come across a few interesting things. One will be able to race chariots at the legendary Hippodrome. Which, regardless of system or television you play this on, looks amazing. For those unaware, this was a place similar to that of what the Roman Coliseum was.

The chariots can be seen throughout the game. One of the best features is ba⭕sically what I'd call the the "assassin robbery." Enemies can be found carrying useful materials in small packs across various areas you'll visit. It is there that you can kill them all and take what y𝄹ou need. Usually all of the material can be used to craft things that help your health or weapons. It's well worth it. One of the best places to do it is outside Alexandria in the outskirts portion of the area. At one point, enemies with these materials came through 12 times in an hour. Try it out!

13 Even A GPS Can't Handl🍷e This Maꦆp

The map is one of the biggest in Assassin's Creed history. The makers of Black Flag are behind this, as previously stated. They clearly don't hold back on worlds, as Black Flag was massive, but mostly ocean centered. This made it the biggest world ever at the time. However, Empire is much bigger. If we base this on la♌nd mass alone, combined with ocean or lake material... it's impressively huge.

The best way to handle things is actually to happen across them, to be honest. While one can still do the synchronization material by climbing large surf⛄aces, it will not completely serve you well. While completionists will still want to do this, it will, again, not help. The map is active enough to give you an idea of what you're seeing as far as missions go. However, they do not dictate the animals you'll need to find, or enemies with major items you might want, among many other things. What's the best way to handle this? Fly Senu, your eagle, a lot more.

12 Don't Swe♑at Raising A Level

While it is not just a suggestion, but a demand to be smཧart if you're not at an even or higher level than your enemies... it's not such a big deal. Your levels will rise significantly every time you complete a mission. This means that you need to take on side quests... but t๊here are other ways. Just like every other game, there are bases that you'll come across. They are not all massive fort-like areas, as some are quite small. There are also various types of lands you'll see them on too.

Every area you take down equals more to your overall level increase. This is a big deal, and it is important that you take this on before you go to higher level places. Side quests and base takedowns are now more important than ever, due to this high level-based system. Another way to increase points is to do the assassin robberies on your enemies and killing certain animals, especially ones that are said to be plaguing the citizens of🧸 an area. Try all of this to increase, and don't skip just to get to the main story this time. It won't be smart.

11 Bad 🐬Guys Be Smartical

One thing we have all been asking for out of Ubisoft is to make enemies in the Assassins game a bit smarter and tougher. Even if you go higher on levels, they make stupid decisions and mistakes. It has been an annoyance, and we wish they would be smarter on AI. This 𝓰has been changed, finally.  The enemies are smarter, and with the new combat system, they're more skilled than ever before. Their weapons, and how they operate, are much harder to beat than in previous games.

This means you have to be smart with 💖what you do and how you do it. There is not an animation that takes you from person to person with ease this time. This means they'll attack even if you're in a sequence with another person, or shoot you with arrows. How do you handle this? Bigger weapons like spears can allow you to attack multiple people at a time, thus allowing for you to take on more than one person. Also, using a sword while moving on a horse can help avoid some of the issues too. However, you be sneaky and stealthy like normal and you'll be okay.

10 🐼 Trust In The A🍰drenaline

There is a new system in Origins that allows for your assassin to use adrenaline as a way to handle bigger situations. It is a new thing added this year, where it allows for your health to be taken down minimally while Bayek explodes with strike after strike in a fast way with insane combos. However, you will not have this from the beginning of the game. Skill points are brought into play this year like with Syndicate.

This time though, these skills mean a great deal to you. While you can do just fine without adrenaline, you must pick it up soon. The reason for this is that the enemies and animals you will come across may be tougher than you expect them to be. One of the best things adrenaline can help with is enemies of higher skill levels. Due to being under the amount you need to be, they wওill take you down with ease. Smart attacks are the way to beat them. However, if you must be one on one with no gimmicks, using adrenaline when available can do wonders in helping you take them down. It's also quite handy for other things.

9 Tame The🧔 Beast ꧙

Another new addition to the series is the art of training animals. Bayek is quite good at this, after you pick up the skill to make it happen. Exploiting this to help you in the game will be quite useful down the line. There has been an issue for some when it comes to taming the an🙈imal though. The way to actually tame the animal is pretty easy.

Hit the animal you wish to tame with a sleep dart. Make sure they are alone. If you're in a pack of lions and hit the alpha, every other will come after you too. This is not smart. Once they are alone, hitting them with the dart will allow you to tame them. Think of it like Horizon: Zero Dawn when you're switching a machine to be on your side. You have to be sneaky about it. In this case, an isolated animal putܫ to sleep will do the trick.

8 ꦓYou Must Kill To Buil🔯d Health

It sounds pretty simple, buꦜt killing can actually build up health. One thing people stupidly assume right off is that a raise in level automatically makes your health better. While the addition of higher levels do wonders for you... your outfit nor level will actually do as much as you thi𒐪nk. The best way to build it is to craft better gear for yourself. How do you manage this? Kill a ton of animals.

It sounds odd, but this is the best way to think of it. You have soft leather and hard leather needed, among other things, to build up health. This means you have to kill, say, a deer or lion for the soft. For hard leather, a crocodile or hippo can give you what you need. The more you kill, the more leather you obtain. Thus, the more you can craft to build health across the board. While this is also needed for your blade t🍬oo, the best way to build it up is to do the mentioned assassin robberies and obtain "bronze." The more of these things you get, the tougher the assassin will be. Even if you're below a level, this can help to last against tougher opponents.

7 𝄹 Dine And Dash!

One of other new things added to Origins was the loot system change. Remember the old system that made you sit and wait for about 5 to 8 seconds to loot a guy? Remember how annoying this could be, especially when enemies were around? That has aꦬll changed. The only time you'll run across this is when you're robbing a base or boat. Yet the amount of time is lessened even still. Basically you can just walk by and press the button to loot and it's done. So simplistic.

One of the coolest things people do not realize they can do, but actually can, is that they can loot while on horseback. Before, the player would have to get off their ride to loot someone. Not this year. You can even be riding quickly and loot any surrounding thing available, su🧸ch as a dead person or animal. It's quite useful, saves time, and allows you to loot the enemies you already killed if you need to escape quickly for health concerns.

6 ♋ There Is A Present Day Storyline 𓃲

One of the other, and probably most important additions to Assassin's Creed Origins, is the present day storyline. Once Desmond Miles passed away after what occurs in the Revolution game, we as the player have been playing a person able to go into the animus without having to connect genes to the past.  This was possible due to Absergo. who found a way for any and all to experience past situations using blood from a person now passed. This is how we, as the player/subject before, were able to experience the most recent assassins like Edward, Arno, an🌌d the Frye Twins.

This time, a new present day woman is involved, named Layla. She is the one usi💛ng the animus this time, and she's pretty awesome. You do not play with her a lot in the game, only after you take down a major boss mostly. However, there is a ton to do in this area. Once the bleeding effect takes hold, you can climb, jump, and more with her. The deeper the game goes, the more you'll do. Without giving storylines away, you'll really love playing this part. Be sure to explore the computer, that's all we can give away without spoi🐼ling.
