I actually really enjoy the “a thorne in the side” mission from Syndicate and honestly don’t find it hard at all. 🙂 The Siege of Charles-Towne: UGH!!! That mission was such a pain…whose idea was it to do a tailing mission with a ships!? 😭 Port Authority: this mission made me rage quit so much!!! I HATE this mission with all my being! It took me about 30 if not 40 attempts to complete it and when I did i cried for like 10 minutes, this mission is such bulls..t I can’t put into words how much I hate it, every time I think I hate a mission i immediately think of this one and think to myself “nah…nothing can beat this mission.”
syndicate or the damn buggy glitchy older ac revelations i got enough early on with thye horse carriage at the very start n never returned n after 4hours n just wasnt possible to get through that i hate the game still to this day(recently went back n tried it again,nope just wont work for me) Syndicate isnt 1 of my favrites,But love LONDON n same with UNITY but love the world build and the world builds from ubisoft have always been pretty great(not in ac mirage though)
Been playing Ezio collection and actually rage quit the dlc mission with the monk who stole the apple today. There is a mission where you have to undetected assassinate someone on a ship surround by like 10 guards. Failed 20 times in a row and quit. Have not played the game in awhile but don't remember any mission in Ezio trilogy being that hard. One of the only games where I think the dlc actively makes the game worse and I wish it never existed.
Honestly, I found all of the underwater diving bell missions in AC 4 really frustrating. Sharks are relentless and everywhere, your breath is constantly running out and there is a limit to air barrels. That’s without mentioning the Moray Eels which are, well… designed to give you a heart attack.
The Legendary Ships were the only parts of Black Flag and Rogue that were genuinely difficult, but the trick is to know their attack patterns to outsmart their AI (also YOU WILL NOT WIN WITHOUT MAX ARMOR AND FIREPOWER, trust me). The Forts are only hard if you go at them without your ship being sufficiently upgraded. That aside, everything else was easy, mostly because I'd played through the games multiple times, and so anyone else who's done so as well will know what's coming and when.
I did well against most of the legendary ships in all of the games. I wanted to make sure I won so I maxed out my Jackdaw and Morrigan. However, my biggest problem was El Impoluto and Storm Fortress because they broke the laws of physics by turning and cornering at crazy, crazy speeds. Interestingly, to defeat both of them, I had the same method. You have to lure the ship towards you, slow it down and use the fire barrels/flaming oil and create a trail for the enemy ship to take damage gradually. This was the only time in both games that I used the rear guns of both ships.
Why is nobody mentioning the tank mission in AC Brotherhood? Whoever designed that owes me a new controller. Also to this day I did not 100% synch that bastard.
If you are careful (and somewhat lucky) you can shoot at the tanks in the final section before entering it. They just won't move and you can shoot at them until they break. That's how I got it.
@@basslightyeah yeah thats true you can kinda back up at the enterance to where you get a desychronization warning then they won't be able to shoot you
Leonardo Da Vinci tank god that thing was a nightmare and a half.Also Catch a courier from AC 3 was very difficult to get 100% sync on cause you had to do an air assassination on the guy.He was very fast and you had to get ahead of him and then times it correctly which was very tricky.
the fastest way is to be right behind him when he goes up and as soon as he goes down jump on him, OR force him off a ledges hes going up and jump on him
When replaying ezio trilogy again recently, I tried to get 100% whenever I could and the tank was impossible. "Don't take damage" as you lock me in an arena with two other tanks with my slow moving ahss. And one hit means replaying the entire sequence cause dysncing to before the hit still counts it as a fail. You gotta get the tank again f that.
@@x0gucx there was a glitch you could do before you enter the battle you back out of the arena the way you came in,if you back out enough it wont de sync you and you can shoot the tanks but they cant hit you.
No, all you need is a random mercenary hunting you down and trick the AIs to initiate a fight against the boar. Human AI tends to target the animal AI than the player. Nothing is hard in AC Odyssey
The most annoying mission in Black Flag is the one where you have to sneak through the Portuguese armada. It was so infuriating to do all the side objectives.
why people always say the septimus mission from origins is the hardest? I'd completed that with ease while there were a few other missions that seemed harder for me
Also it wasn't "designed well" when you have to nerf the player to make it challenging. Ubisoft keeps adding areas where they take away everything or force you to play someone else "for a challenge" meanwhile from soft just adds new and interesting sht.
@@x0gucx I'd have to say that playing as Aya wasn't a bad thing, but the mission could've be made more challenging in other ways instead of only the player nerf
The hardest mission in AC Revelations (at first I mistakenly called it Brotherhood) is in Cappadocia where you have to infiltrate enemy fortress. It must be done without taking damage for 100% synс and it's hard because you will meet about 8-10 packs of enemies. So, first of all, this is a long mission and you need to be constantly concentrated so as not to miss a hit. Parrying sometimes doesn't work if you're being attacked from different directions or one hit occurs while you're parrying another.
ye this was in revelations but i HATED that one good god idk how many times i replayed it to get 100% sync 😭 i tried smoke bombs, chain kills, whatever i could… it was exhausting
Very recently I returned to Odyssey to do the DLCs and get the platinum. (Side note: I’m a diehard AC fan who was very skeptical of the RPGs, but Odyssey is a fucking great game when you approach it *as an RPG* and surprisingly it became one of my favourites after that second playthrough.) When I returned, I took the time to put together a solid CRIT build. Shortly after I encountered the Daughters of Artemis line: I realised these were the quests I’d heard so many horror stories about, and with great trepidation, I set out to hunt the Kalydonian Boar. Only to then kill it in 2 hits 💀 So for anyone struggling, invest a bit of time into putting together a CRIT build and you’ll steamroll everything, even in Nightmare mode. You want to achieve 100% CRIT chance at full health and then prioritise CRIT damage and damage with swords/X weapon type (depending on your main weapon choice). I also strongly recommend you look into the Bighorn Bow, which is essential to a lot of the best builds (it’s from the Helix Store but you can get it with the free 200 Helix Credits the game gives you). You know you’ve performed a critical hit when your damage is displayed with a yellow (not white) number, significantly increasing your damage. With a 100% CRIT chance at full health, this means you can instantly assassinate any enemy, even mercenaries, without needing to use the Knife of Dallwun or even the Critical Assassination ability; headshots with the bow are also insta-kills; and you will kill any boss in the game/DLCs within like 2-5 hits. It’s downright broken, but it allows you to play Odyssey a lot like the classic AC games. Epic (purple) armour works best if you strike the right engravings, which depends on luck/Blacksmith resetting; but you can also make a decent CRIT build using just the Pirate Set, for a guaranteed loadout with zero grind. Also reference the Engravings page on the AC wiki, since specific engravings will only appear on certain gear pieces. For simplicity, I strongly recommend you check out T7 PDM’s UA-cam channel (not at all affiliated). He does super comprehensive Odyssey build guides, including one for the aforementioned Pirate Set, which I found incredibly helpful. They will give you literally everything you need to get going and breeze through the game in a 15 min video, if you don’t want to spend time planning a build for yourself. He also has some great explanations on how damage works in the game. Odyssey is ultimately an RPG, so a strong build is a huge game-changer that can trivialise even the toughest enemies. Again, if you’re struggling make a CRIT build and you’ll never look back 😛
I don't know why people struggle with Septimius. I had seen many posts/videos about this, so when I went to face him I expected hard fight. Then beat him 1st try with 0 problems. I had much more trouble beating Flavius.
All of these bring up terrible memories for me. Except for "In n Out" because that's one of the few times I get to do my favorite type of Assassination. A Bench Assassination.
I just started playing AC (I know lol, I’m several years late.) Port Authority was relatively easy for me. It’s anything timed that sends me into a rage. Ezio just kind of flings himself off buildings in random directions while free running sometimes and I’m left yelling at him as he falls to the ground 😭
The hardest mission for me, as a 100% sync player, was definitely the tank mission in AC Brotherhood. You have to stealth inflitrate an entire fortress and then escape with a tank with clunky movement AND not get hit by anything for 100%. A mistake there would easily cost you 20 minutes... I cannot remember how often i needed to restart this mission.
For me "The Chase" was the hardest mission in Assassin's Creed III because of that damn fort. Yes, it is a naval side mission so I get that why it wouldn't be on here.
There is a bug with the AC2 boat mission. If you accept the mission, run into the town and get detected - it won't desync. All you have to do is, go to the boat with like 10 guards chasing you and you can kill the captain immeditaly. This is actually the easiest lieutenant mission in this way (but I agree, it's very hard otherwise).
I honestly did not have that hard of a time with any mission in AC Syndicate except 1 and it wasn't Lucy Thorne's Assassination mission. Had an easy time with most of the game but surprisingly what was the most frustrating for me was Queen Victoria's second to last mission which ended with trying to get a lit explosive wagon to safety before it explodes. Sounds simple right? Well to get 100% sync you have to get to the location in under 80 seconds and the streets are jam packed with obstacles that you are bound to ram into a poor civilian wagon before you get there, and if you take too long you won't be able to get 100% sync. Played the whole of AC syndicate with very little difficulties but the only mission that genuinely frustrated me was a mission that is only unlocked when you beat the game.
I "cheesed" with the gun in a way that still felt genuine to the game by first assassinating the ones traveling from midlle to back and the one on the peer then shooting the guy that travels middeck to front portside which prompted the target to approach portside opening and a large gaurd to stand gaurd in front of the ship which allowed me to sneak behind th guard and ledge assasinate the target all without anyone even looking my way
You can kill the banker in a non intended stupid way too. Grab him, throw him close to a bench, social blend on that bench, then when he gets up, bench kill him. For some reason he doesn’t get alerted despite being grabbed and thrown down by Ezio.
Port Authority: Sooo...the gun is fine despite being incredibly loud, but the throwing knives aren't because they take two to kill?...yeah that sounds right! 🤣
For me the hardest mission was where you've to turn into an eagle and avoid getting hit less than 3 times to get full sync in ac 3, I finally did it to get Achilles outfit. And obviously I did more than 10 times yhe Storm Fortress mission to get 100 percent in AC rogue. Also medusa is one of the hardest boss I've faced.
Fulke was quite easy even though i was around 40 power less than the recommended amount, the easiest part was to just use my arrows to break oil jars and spam r1 with varins axe and dodging to get closer to her when she gets pushed back, this technique doesnt allow them to attack, its also how i beat basim in the little ancient underground area in hordafylke, the game just needs strategy not any special attacks, just a simple attack pattern
"A Thorne in the Side" is not that difficult. With a little patience, you can easily get the royal to ignore you (which makes moving outside of the tower A LOT easier) and have a nearly direct path to your target. Now, "Live by the Creed, Die by the Creed" (from the Jack the Ripper DLC) will drive you nuts. At the end of the mission, you need to face Jack the Ripper himself. However, Jack is immune to everything you have and can do except two things: smoke bombs and surprise. You need to evade him in a fairly small room with no way to replenish your tools and wait for him to stop running after you and walk by the place where you are hidden (and no, you no longer turn invisible while stalking and immobile like in the late main game) You then attack him (which can one-shot everything else in the game) and have to repeat the process one or two more times. Then, Lambert inmates come to beat you up while you try to find and finish Jack (now without his earlier defenses). I however successfully beat Jack yesterday after being unable to land a single hit with the smoke bombs so I had to win without this tool. The Jack the Ripper DLC felt like it was meant for people who thought the main game too easy: most ennemies are as strong as you (or stronger) making combats way less forgiving than in the main game, missions are more difficult, and you have access to your complete arsenal and tools in fighting rings (because they are that intense).
Ive been playing the assassin's creed games in release order, and Co-op missions for Unity have been the hardest for me. Not because i cant find people to play with,but because when i do, i only have 2 minutes to play before the game freezes and then crashes
I did the tournament solo on AC unity to get the platinum trophy. Fortunately you can restart at last checkpoint instead of restarting the entire memory.
I've been going back and playing through AC games and getting the platinum for any I can. I did the Unity one by myself doing the co-op missions and finding the bonus skill points.
Every AC game from the first one to Odyssey (as far as I have played) has had at least 1 mission that has made me want to ragequit, but only AC3 was successfully able to make me throw the game in the garbage and never play it again. It was a stealth mission that was actually pretty early on in the game too. Something involving a field and getting caught being an autofail. Nope. I ejected the game, threw it out, popped in Black Flag and never looked back. I still put AC3 as the worst AC game by default because of that terrible mission.
altair can actually swim(how can you even become a master assassin if you cant swim). its a glich in the animus that made it unable to swim. it was repaired when we play as ezio
So not all games then just main line games. I don't see the Chronicle games, nor Liberation or Freedom Cry. I was half expecting to see AC Liberation Supply the Revolution mission in the swamp where you can't let the raft drop to less than 50% health, can't touch the water aka no swimming and can't shoot just meele is allowed if you want the 100% sync. If you screwed the parkour you were screwed. Damn this mission to hell! This was the first AC game I ever 100% synced but this mission and one of the Mexico missions where you need to win a fight without taking damage for that 100% sync almost broke me.
Dude the assassins creed 2 one was so hard when I was 8 I got there and i couldn’t kill him without being seen but a year later I beat the mission and finally 40 hours into the game I beat one of the best story ever
Me personally found that circus type area in revelations, I could just never sneak past any of the guards and if I tried to kill any of them a different guard would see me. So I just stopped playing the game entirely
I remember having the best glitch in "A Thorne in the Side" climbed up the wall, freed that prisoner and I got zapped into the cutscene where Evie killed her😂 Personally, the worst mission in Syndicate was escorting that politician's wife and her dog on her walk through the "not so friendly " neighborhood 😅
Lucy's mission from syndicate is not that bad - it is mostly long. I just did the optional goals and the royal guards would stop being aggresive. Then all I had to do was to poison one of the templars and he killed Lucy. Anticlimatic, sure.
100% synching Revelations Carriage ride was annoying. You can't lose a single bar of health despite all the obstacles incoming new enemies that get a free swipe at you and constantly having throw guys off your carriage.
These were surprisingly easy and I did Valhalla origins and odyssey and even mirage all on the hardest difficulty possible but these were definitely not that much of a challenge
Odyessey was really easy for me I just got the Achille's armor and the poison daggers from that one legendary mercenary and then couldn't die(the Achille's armor heals you the same no matter what unless the enemy is a civilian) the only time I ever died was because the game sent all the mercenaries in the pool and blew me up over and over again with bombs so I couldn't get up with the armor and dagger I finished the game without ever using the adrenaline bar.
Fun fact: Altaïr could swim, but a glitch in the programming of Animus 1.28 caused him to drown when he got in contact with water. The glitch was corrected in Animus 2.0, when you play as Ezio!
The Daughters of Artemis quest is actually one of the easiest once you figure it out. I can beat every one of the beasts in 10-30 seconds on hard using a Hunter build, poison and Devastating Shot and have the videos to prove it on my channel. The hardest one is Medusa
The Kalydonian boar is easy really (it does help to be at least 2 levels above it), the second boar is the one that drives me insane. You have to constantly keep moving so you don't breath in it's fart gas........🙄
I'm so stupid, I wish I would've lowered the difficulty on that boar. Instead I brute forced it like I used to brute force the Endurance races on Gran Turismo 3.
Okay, this list is fundamentally flawed, because, most of these missions are frustrating but not hard. Perfect example: Medusa is BY FAR the most difficult mission in Odyssey El Impuluto is by far the toughest thing in Black Flag.
In AC 3 for me was that stupid mission in witch you have to spy on some dudes . The anoing part was ur on there outside of there ship and if you get detected even by the npc that you are killing ur have to restart the dam thing...
I genuinely thought that Black Flag and Rogue legendary ships were way too easy. With a fully upgraded jackdaw You could toast a level 60 man o war, in like 40 seconds. I remember beating the storm fortress in less than two minutes. In black flag, HMS Prince was a bit tougher than the rest of them, but only by a little bit. But I think the level 99 legendary ship was actually really easy. The chase mission where you're supposed catch hope, that's the hardest mission in the game. Because her mechanics are just really stupid. If you don't let her get to the end of her running path, the game literally freaks out. I had to run the mission over 10 times just to figure out that thinking doesn't intend for you to catch up to her. In funny enough, after you kill her, I dumped her body somewhere really far away, into the water, like, over a kilometer, and they're like, oh, we found her body, I'm like, bullshit. So, yeah, I think you're wrong about Rogue's hardest mission. Because I really found that last legendary fight to be pretty damn easy. Basically the way you do it is you stay in between two of the legendary ships and then they can't fire on you because they'd hit themselves and then I would just basically keep mortaring the storm fortress and then once the storm fortress was low I just Went on the two other legendary ships and just dropped truck on them like a glass canning and just kept heavy-sharding them and mortaring them and within like a minute I had both down.
Which AC mission made you want to rage quit?

I still remember that one fight against 2 legendary ships at the same time. Died a lot, but when I did beat them I let out a massive shout.

i think the Leonardo flying machine 2.0 100% sync is harder than the tank because it's too difficult to control
Let's be real, every mission that included any Leonardo design was a 100% rage material
Those two Boars have to be the hardest bosses in the entire saga.

Agreed. I had to use the cheese option of getting a lot of merceneries to hunt meand leading the to the boar.

No, all you need is a random mercenary hunting you down and trick the AIs to initiate a fight against the boar.

Nothing is hard in AC Odyssey
I just waited till I got all the best armour at the end of the game before I started dlc and went back and killed it
Currently playing Oddessey and it's either big fort quests or those damn Boars/ Lions quests that get our ass kicked every damn time
The worst are more the headhunters that are out for you. Combined with the fort troops its impossible to do anytjing.
Don't forget Medusa.

I would have enjoyed assassinating Sibrand more if Altair learns how to swim. Still, that has been fun as a stealth one.
It’s easy to get lost in that prison in Mirage. You can see me getting lost in my walkthrough.

Why does 1080p feels like 480p?

honestly I think the Fight with Basim was the hardest fight and It took me 1 week IRL of trying to beat him the first time around
There is a bug with the AC2 boat mission. If you accept the mission, run into the town and get detected - it won't desync. All you have to do is, go to the boat with like 10 guards chasing you and you can kill the captain immeditaly. This is actually the easiest lieutenant mission in this way (but I agree, it's very hard otherwise).
“In and Out” is gonna turn me into an alcoholic. Lol. I have an Xbox 360 at my Grandpa’s, and I’m still stuck on that damn mission.
I remember in Revelations there was an even harder challenge, where we had to defeat a heavily armoured military general in combat
I honestly did not have that hard of a time with any mission in AC Syndicate except 1 and it wasn't Lucy Thorne's Assassination mission. Had an easy time with most of the game but surprisingly what was the most frustrating for me was Queen Victoria's second to last mission which ended with trying to get a lit explosive wagon to safety before it explodes. Sounds simple right? Well to get 100% sync you have to get to the location in under 80 seconds and the streets are jam packed with obstacles that you are bound to ram into a poor civilian wagon before you get there, and if you take too long you won't be able to get 100% sync. Played the whole of AC syndicate with very little difficulties but the only mission that genuinely frustrated me was a mission that is only unlocked when you beat the game.
Port Authority made me quit playing so many times. Hated that mission.
I "cheesed" with the gun in a way that still felt genuine to the game by first assassinating the ones traveling from midlle to back and the one on the peer then shooting the guy that travels middeck to front portside which prompted the target to approach portside opening and a large gaurd to stand gaurd in front of the ship which allowed me to sneak behind th guard and ledge assasinate the target all without anyone even looking my way
14:06 This was one of the easiest missions in AC. You can assassinate Sibrand without alerting any guard.
You can kill the banker in a non intended stupid way too. Grab him, throw him close to a bench, social blend on that bench, then when he gets up, bench kill him. For some reason he doesn’t get alerted despite being grabbed and thrown down by Ezio.
WatchMojo: "Here are the toughest missions"
Also WatchMojo: [shows them being executed flawlessly]
Port Authority: Sooo...the gun is fine despite being incredibly loud, but the throwing knives aren't because they take two to kill?...yeah that sounds right! 🤣
The mission in AC3 where you set 2 ships on fire was a pain for full synch
For me the hardest mission was where you've to turn into an eagle and avoid getting hit less than 3 times to get full sync in ac 3, I finally did it to get Achilles outfit. And obviously I did more than 10 times yhe Storm Fortress mission to get 100 percent in AC rogue. Also medusa is one of the hardest boss I've faced.
Fulke was quite easy even though i was around 40 power less than the recommended amount, the easiest part was to just use my arrows to break oil jars and spam r1 with varins axe and dodging to get closer to her when she gets pushed back, this technique doesnt allow them to attack, its also how i beat basim in the little ancient underground area in hordafylke, the game just needs strategy not any special attacks, just a simple attack pattern
Ac Brotherhood at the end when you have to escape from like 30 MFrs drove me crazy.
"A Thorne in the Side" is not that difficult. With a little patience, you can easily get the royal to ignore you (which makes moving outside of the tower A LOT easier) and have a nearly direct path to your target.
Now, "Live by the Creed, Die by the Creed" (from the Jack the Ripper DLC) will drive you nuts. At the end of the mission, you need to face Jack the Ripper himself. However, Jack is immune to everything you have and can do except two things: smoke bombs and surprise. You need to evade him in a fairly small room with no way to replenish your tools and wait for him to stop running after you and walk by the place where you are hidden (and no, you no longer turn invisible while stalking and immobile like in the late main game) You then attack him (which can one-shot everything else in the game) and have to repeat the process one or two more times. Then, Lambert inmates come to beat you up while you try to find and finish Jack (now without his earlier defenses). I however successfully beat Jack yesterday after being unable to land a single hit with the smoke bombs so I had to win without this tool. The Jack the Ripper DLC felt like it was meant for people who thought the main game too easy: most ennemies are as strong as you (or stronger) making combats way less forgiving than in the main game, missions are more difficult, and you have access to your complete arsenal and tools in fighting rings (because they are that intense).
Ive been playing the assassin's creed games in release order, and Co-op missions for Unity have been the hardest for me. Not because i cant find people to play with,but because when i do, i only have 2 minutes to play before the game freezes and then crashes
I found that quest in Odyssey to be easy TBH 🤷
yeah i had the same thought with the mission in Mirage
I did the tournament solo on AC unity to get the platinum trophy. Fortunately you can restart at last checkpoint instead of restarting the entire memory.
The tournament in unity and Legendary ships are Nightmares... I genuinely felt scared when i saw The Tournament mission in this video
I've been going back and playing through AC games and getting the platinum for any I can. I did the Unity one by myself doing the co-op missions and finding the bonus skill points.
Every AC game from the first one to Odyssey (as far as I have played) has had at least 1 mission that has made me want to ragequit, but only AC3 was successfully able to make me throw the game in the garbage and never play it again. It was a stealth mission that was actually pretty early on in the game too. Something involving a field and getting caught being an autofail. Nope. I ejected the game, threw it out, popped in Black Flag and never looked back. I still put AC3 as the worst AC game by default because of that terrible mission.
altair can actually swim(how can you even become a master assassin if you cant swim). its a glich in the animus that made it unable to swim. it was repaired when we play as ezio
The rifts in unity piss me off as they are timed and the later ones have such a high goal.
So not all games then just main line games. I don't see the Chronicle games, nor Liberation or Freedom Cry.
I was half expecting to see AC Liberation Supply the Revolution mission in the swamp where you can't let the raft drop to less than 50% health, can't touch the water aka no swimming and can't shoot just meele is allowed if you want the 100% sync. If you screwed the parkour you were screwed. Damn this mission to hell! This was the first AC game I ever 100% synced but this mission and one of the Mexico missions where you need to win a fight without taking damage for that 100% sync almost broke me.
The cairns in Valhalla. Fulke was a damn cakewalk compared to those.
The Daughters of Lerion were more difficult
The daughters is a side mission. You can skip it and still progress the game
@@esf5328 Goddess Hunt in Odyssey is also a side mission you can skip
Dude the assassins creed 2 one was so hard when I was 8 I got there and i couldn’t kill him without being seen but a year later I beat the mission and finally 40 hours into the game I beat one of the best story ever
6:32 This mission is hard ONLY when you are playing solo, not co-op so co-op missions shouldnt be listed here
Me personally found that circus type area in revelations, I could just never sneak past any of the guards and if I tried to kill any of them a different guard would see me. So I just stopped playing the game entirely
Unity that last boss going into that castle and trying to get not spotted was THE WORST I’m surprised it didn’t make it here in the video
I didn't play Odyssey yet, but the hardest so far are the battles against the pharaohs in the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC of Origins
I remember having the best glitch in "A Thorne in the Side" climbed up the wall, freed that prisoner and I got zapped into the cutscene where Evie killed her😂
Personally, the worst mission in Syndicate was escorting that politician's wife and her dog on her walk through the "not so friendly " neighborhood 😅
Worst part about the tournament mission in unity is that if you’re trying to 100% the game you have to do it multiple times 😭
9:14 i actually had a lot of fun here
Bro that unity mission led me to quitting gaming for like a month (i didn't know how to do co op)
Fenrir in Valhalla took me ages.
The one from brotherhood was a pain! Ironically the moment I stopped being careful, I ended up beating it.😂
always loved Fulke's sword..sad that you can't have it in the game even after defeating her
The assassins creed brotherhood mission, “when in Rome,” was truly not that difficult if you made use of the courtesan’s that littered the map.
Lucy's mission from syndicate is not that bad - it is mostly long. I just did the optional goals and the royal guards would stop being aggresive. Then all I had to do was to poison one of the templars and he killed Lucy. Anticlimatic, sure.
With the banker in ACB I went through the rooftops and broke the mission in half. The only issue I had was with the ending bit. 😅
100% synching Revelations Carriage ride was annoying. You can't lose a single bar of health despite all the obstacles incoming new enemies that get a free swipe at you and constantly having throw guys off your carriage.
These were surprisingly easy and I did Valhalla origins and odyssey and even mirage all on the hardest difficulty possible but these were definitely not that much of a challenge
I wonder what you would consider the hardest mission in AC Liberation and AC Freedom Cry though?
The hardest mission for ac 1 is either the Robert de sable assassination or the last mission with Al mualim
Odyessey was really easy for me I just got the Achille's armor and the poison daggers from that one legendary mercenary and then couldn't die(the Achille's armor heals you the same no matter what unless the enemy is a civilian) the only time I ever died was because the game sent all the mercenaries in the pool and blew me up over and over again with bombs so I couldn't get up with the armor and dagger I finished the game without ever using the adrenaline bar.
Fun fact:
Altaïr could swim, but a glitch in the programming of Animus 1.28 caused him to drown when he got in contact with water. The glitch was corrected in Animus 2.0, when you play as Ezio!
The Daughters of Artemis quest is actually one of the easiest once you figure it out. I can beat every one of the beasts in 10-30 seconds on hard using a Hunter build, poison and Devastating Shot and have the videos to prove it on my channel. The hardest one is Medusa
try it on the hardest mode not hard mode noob
I just set the difficulty to easy and its super easy!
The Kalydonian boar is easy really (it does help to be at least 2 levels above it), the second boar is the one that drives me insane. You have to constantly keep moving so you don't breath in it's fart gas........🙄
I almost ragequit trying to kill bellec in unity. Found out my game was bugged...
I'm so stupid, I wish I would've lowered the difficulty on that boar. Instead I brute forced it like I used to brute force the Endurance races on Gran Turismo 3.
Okay, this list is fundamentally flawed, because, most of these missions are frustrating but not hard.
Perfect example: Medusa is BY FAR the most difficult mission in Odyssey
El Impuluto is by far the toughest thing in Black Flag.
The only time I really had difficulty with an assassin"s creed game is with black flag's legendary ship duo
When I seen this video I knew the AC1 mission in the vid is the hardest one by far, you have go on the docks like you said instant death
One tip for players having a hardtime on kalydonian boar get a 3star bounty and go to the boar and just hide
The ghost ship from AC BF it wasn´t so hard for me as the other legendary ships i destroyed it on my first encounter
In AC 3 for me was that stupid mission in witch you have to spy on some dudes .
The anoing part was ur on there outside of there ship and if you get detected even by the npc that you are killing ur have to restart the dam thing...
The tournament alone is easy if you know the route.
Tank on brotherhood is very hard
The tournament on unity pissed me off so many times
First boar in origins is the easiest. There is a ledge you can cljmb at the back of the cave where the boar cannot reach you
Why didn’t you include the hardest levels for the ac chronicles games?
Speaking from exepri'ce i synced aml ac 3 story missions 100% the battle 9f Chesapeake is a pain
I heard every pirate ship mission that’s featured in assassins creed are the worst and looks like I heard correctly.
Actually the ones in Syndicate and BlackFlag were some of the easier and more fun parts of those games to me.
Defending the castle in ac brotherhood almost made me quit the game
I used a torch for the kalydonian boar, got a video on youtube showing it.
Made it so easy to beat them 😂😂
On the Sibrand assassination we can go around the water
I agree with these and love your video
I felt that all the legendary ships were incredibly easy lol (including the storm fortress)
I genuinely thought that Black Flag and Rogue legendary ships were way too easy. With a fully upgraded jackdaw You could toast a level 60 man o war, in like 40 seconds. I remember beating the storm fortress in less than two minutes. In black flag, HMS Prince was a bit tougher than the rest of them, but only by a little bit. But I think the level 99 legendary ship was actually really easy. The chase mission where you're supposed catch hope, that's the hardest mission in the game. Because her mechanics are just really stupid. If you don't let her get to the end of her running path, the game literally freaks out. I had to run the mission over 10 times just to figure out that thinking doesn't intend for you to catch up to her. In funny enough, after you kill her, I dumped her body somewhere really far away, into the water, like, over a kilometer, and they're like, oh, we found her body, I'm like, bullshit. So, yeah, I think you're wrong about Rogue's hardest mission. Because I really found that last legendary fight to be pretty damn easy. Basically the way you do it is you stay in between two of the legendary ships and then they can't fire on you because they'd hit themselves and then I would just basically keep mortaring the storm fortress and then once the storm fortress was low I just Went on the two other legendary ships and just dropped truck on them like a glass canning and just kept heavy-sharding them and mortaring them and within like a minute I had both down.
Apparently the narrator’s hardest mission in Assassin’s Creed is pronouncing the names correctly.
No, ell impoluto is the hardest mission in ac4, heck even killing torres is harder and before you correct me el impoluto is a side mission
If you’ve ever found an AC mission hard gaming might not be for you
6:25
OH MY GOD YES! F**K THIS UNITY LEVEL!
Why does everyone always leave out AC Liberation, AC Freedom Cry, and AC Chronicles 😭
