All Clips Taken From Altair Stealth: / @altairstealth
I am here to defend until my last breath, the art of ghosting in stealth games. There is nothing more immersive, challenging and rewarding, than completing a level or taking out a target, without being seen, and without spilling blood. 10/10 recommend

Whats your favourite mission to ghost in assassin’s creed
Ive been ghosting most of AC Mirage’s main targets on permadeath, its so fun
I haven't tried to ghost this mission, but it might be fun to try, Black Bart's Gambit from Black Flag is my favorite stealth mission in that game
@@defineyour100-njstadl25 same love that mission
sounds weird but the battle of munychia in ac nexus (first half)
i love the fort mission design
Best ghost mission for me is AC Unity - The Confession
I think hands down the best ghoster of all time has got to be my ex
Lmaooo💀
Real talk man 😔
Basim wasn't the only one who got into that machine. Elise did too
Lol

People say Assassin's creed is an easy game to play, until you follow the CREED's Rules!!
exactly!
............ when I play as smooth and efficient as possible, that's where the fun starts for me.
Pretty sure the guards paid by the Templar aren't innocent in the orders eyes
But go off sis
@@zun-viikWell, one of the main rules is never reveal yourself, most players never play full stealth, so killing the templars is fine, it’s not being seen that matters
I like to think that every official creed member, once they joined the creed, was a ghost.
Except for Connor. The British army doubled their recruitment drives because of Connor.
I'd also say Edward, dude was a pirate, sometimes more so than Assassin
Thats a cool thing to think
@@FIoridaMilkManI think Edward is a ghost after fully understanding the Creed. Read the Lost Temple Webtoon. The man became a ghost
@@josephfigues4202 Definitely becomes one but during the game when he's still new to the Creed id say hes not
Connor and Edward were two NOTORIOUS assassins. They were feared by many. Even Blackbeard respected Edward.
Ezio and Edward: “Yeah idgaf bout nun of dat”
*mass murders a bunch of 19 year old soldiers*
lmao
Connor: Hold my tomahawk
Pretty sure Ezio wizened up after his training with Mario. Revenge wasn't the only thing on his mind, despite it being the main goal all along
@@ofnir123 of course. But even in the novels he still kills a lot of people. In fact, most of the main characters are canonically spree/serial killers.
this goes double for Jacob
"stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent"
they should make a game where the protagonist trains to become and remain an assassin, and you only complete it if you stick to the creed's tenets
Thats such a good idea
Oh so she wasn't done with me! She was just an assassin 😌✊️
😂😂
In black flag, the sequence where you had to infiltrate in the kingston plantation to find the sage, was a active nightmare, you have to disable 3 alarms as a mission objective, but there is always one eye or two in the first alarm, the guards can see guards sleeping even when inside tall grass
The other two alarms are doable, if anything by disabling a single guard
And then the last bell gets shot during a cutscene, resulting in every guard swarming you until you escape the very large plantation.
Thank you so much for posting about ghosting so regularly! Hopefully Ubi makes a game where you are actually rewarded for leaving non-targets alive. I am a long time ghost practitioner, always have been, and always look forward to you talking about it.
Other than that, my favourite AC games to do ghosting are mostly for Narrative reasons.
1. Mirage: I think Basim as a character is a very noble and thoughtful person when it comes to killing people. Also, Mirage do not reward any xp for killing guards. I also love the fact that there is no knockout, guards remaining untouched is the perfect way to ghost for me.
2. Origins: Again for narrative reasons. Also the level design is phenomenal and really encourages for ghost stealth.
3. Syndicate: The mission design is excellent for ghosting and is really enjoyable, although I don't think either of the twins would care about killing folks.
4. AC1 of coursee, I have done ghosting with Ezio too, but not for the most part.
5. I cannot enjoy pure ghosting with Arno, it takes me out of the experience. I still try to kill as few guards as I could, but Ghosting and Arno for me don't go much hand in hand.
6. I completely and intentionally assassinate everyone in Odyssey just because it hugee amount of xp with streaks :)
lets hope we can ghost most of AC shadows
I think the Syndicate twins wouldn't mind killing a guard if it is necessary but I think they would rather not. Both of them are very skilled field assassins, therefore they were trained to not go out killing everyone just for the sake of it. I ghost through most of that game everytime I play it, only excusing the templar NPC kills (some places have more than one templar NPC, so for a narrative reason I don't think is inaccurate to kill them).
Assassin's creed chronicles incentives players to ghost throughout if they want to achive highest rank in each section of the mission, while fighting your way grants you the lowest rank
I think it's really depends on the character:
Altair - definitly ghost
Ezio - I don't think he was ghosting in II and Brotherhood, but for sure in Revelations
Connor - I don't think he was ghosting
Edward - I feel like he was start ghosting at the end of a game
Arno - Definitly ghost
Evie - ghost
Jacob - he propably sometimes trying to ghost, but he suck at it (just my head canon)
Bayek - he propably start ghosting after the betray of Cleopatra and Cesar
Basim - ghost
Cassandra and Eivor are not even asssasins nor Hidden Ones
But all of that is just my opinion/headcanon.
My headcanon is that Jacob is the notorious gang leader, doing most of the high-profile dealings and fights, while Evie does the more clandestine stuff and covert assassinations
I am your headcannon Jacob
I think Altair, Edward, and Jacob would definitely not ghost, at least for most of the game.
@@yodaddyrc1220 Altair is def a ghost
@@morninstar_lucifer in the beginning if ac1, Altair would kill all those who stood in his way. He might ghost at the end tho.
I think Syndicate was the last game we were able to actually ghost. I feel like it’s nearly impossible to do so in these recent games without smoke bombs
Its very hard for sure
This right here is what I like most about ac1. The capital A Assassins are based on the soldiers of a real nation based in castles spread throughout the Levant. These soldiers were almost always spotted after hitting their mark, so they only had one shot to kill one man. They did hide in plain sight and stay their blades until the time was right when they would use a dagger or poisoned arrow to kill a powerful figure. It’s a damn shame that Assassins creed today has strayed so far from that historical accuracy.
Mr. Altair Stealth be out here saving Assassin’s Creed again
Assassinating enemies in these games is really fun but I think in a narrative perspective a more ghost stealth approach should be implemented by ubisoft or even let ubisoft add consequences (like dishonored as you mentioned) to your actions like killing would make the game more immersive as an assassin and make more sense lore wise. I mean most people you assassinate are guards working minimum wage making money for their families 💀
This is the best way to play these games, the trailer of shadows involved non-lethal takedowns and use of shadows which gives me hope, hopefully we can play the game like a proper assassin this time with an actual member of the order instead of some random mercenary or Viking.
I have personally never tried this, I will make sure to do it the next time I replay a ac game, it seems like a fun challenge. Also, I like how your video's are always quite phillosophical, it puts me to thinking. great vid.
Have fun!
This is why I like “the silent assassin” and “suit only” on “Hitman :world of assassination”. It’s challenging beyond belief and also fun to immerse yourself as agent 47.
exactly
For me AC1 still counts, becauae once you're being discovered it's even more impressive. Like "how did that dude kill our man and nobody noticed him come?!". Then you just use parkour to escape, basically saying to everyone "I only kill bad people. Don't be like my victim or you're next". However, the only exception to this is probably the fight in Arsuf where you cannot progress until you clear the area of enemies and then also Masyaf where lots of fights are scripted. But when it comes to main targets, it's totally possible to kill only them and nobody else, even during open combat / chase.
Fantastic video as always. And now you’ve challenged me. My next playthrough, I might just impose ghosting on myself as a limitation to see if I can pull it off
The goat upload again 🗣️
We here🫡
THE GOA(S)T 🙏🗣🐐👻
Love the vids spaniard, most unique and engaging AC content! ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
@@TheSpaniardAssassin Ubisoft would be wise to learn from your AC perspective..... 💯👍
In AC Chronicles (China), the game allows a player to be a ghost by not being seen by the enemies and not incapacitate or kill them. If I recall, it was one of the highest results in terms of gameplay points a player could achieve in every sequence level.
You know, I never played any of the Assassin's Creed games, but I will say that a game you'd really appreciate and that anyone who calls themselves a fan of stealth games *needs* to try.
It's the Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness games.
They're not perfect games, but they damn good stealth games that make ghosting a main way to play the game.
Been playing assassin's creed Odyssey as a assassin and the i was at olympos and saw a cult of cosmos member and decided to ghost him and try to assassinate him but due to the Olympic truce it is very risky because commiting a crime gets you a max mercenary bounty and it took me 20 minutes to find a place to assassinate him without anyone knowing it was intense and satisfying
Ac Mirage also has a sleep dart, and if you upgrade it they are asleep forever. Plus you can have like 8 of them which is plenty
Best Ac content creator imo
I know its hard but i hope you can upload more often like 2 times a week I'd really appreciate it ❤
I'll try!
Something kind of fun to think about is that Ghosting in AC: Rouge could be considered cannon friendly for Shay. Might be difficult, I haven't played Rouge in years. I think I'll dust it off and try it soon
In the first AC the combat was so repetitive and based around counters that I wanted to avoid it as much as I could so I gravitated towards stealth and ghosting.
In AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations you got so much tools it became more about figuring out all kinds of cool ways to complete missions. Sometimes with stealth, brute force etc.
I LOVED that from AC3 you had the chokehold. In a way it felt way less violent to just choke out targets instead of killing them.
I always prefered bare handed fighting and sleepholds as in a way I avoided the brutal deaths etc.
Even the actual targets I took out with a chokehold, after which I still got their death scene.
But I love your video how you explain it from a philosophical perspective.
How killing and drawing attention with violence would harm the underlying ideas.
Glad you enjoy that vidw
I do agree. However, I purpose that sometimes the Assassins had to take out a guard or two. Say Altair took out a few guards when saving people, Ezio took out a few breaking into the Vatican, Etc.
Now did these members go on massive killing sprees? No, they did not. Canonically that is.
Anyways, great video! Been a fan of the series for a few years now. Might try a full canonical run with the Ezio series.
yeah i agree
2:52 I can't be the only one who saw that and thought it was a DBD pallet.
bro spittin the true way of the creed
My favorite playstyle is like the reverse side of the coin that is ghosting. Never be seen, but kill EVERYONE. Sends a real message when an entire castle is silent with death.
stealth reaper
This is why playing as an assassin didn’t make much sense to me since ubisoft made every game so hard to ghost through. You have to clear the enemies to advance to your target.
Ubisoft seems to to hate stealth in their stealth lead games. Like the perk unlocks in some of the AC games require the mass murder of characters lol and then ubisoft made social stealth worse or completely absent in some games.
Lets hope that changes
I just finished Unity creating my own canon, and I had a good time it was much more fun than I expected, now I will try Mirage in PermaDeath, as for Ghosting if you like stealth games or AC is something that if or if you must try once in life I did it in Syndicate and now after Mirage I will return to AC 4 to try it, Other games I recommend for Ghosting although they are not AC are Metal Gear 5, Ghost Recon and of course one that you mentioned in the video and is one of my favorites Dishonored.
have fun!!
No witnesses. Not a single one in the entire city. No acceptions
😂😂
I think that ghosting is a very challenging experience, but I try to think "what this character would do in this situation?" In Mirage case I prefere to say to myself "what would I do?" Because the stealth is so Goated
I love thinking that
For ac mirage, be sure to spec into trickster to get access to a variety of non-lethal path creating tools.
My ghosting style in ACU has always been something like the Creed in AC1. I'm not allowed to disable any guard, only use distractions and tools, but I can kill the target in any way I want, even if it means rushing in stabbing the dude in the middle of a crowd then dip. It works so well in missions that have a huge gathering like Levesque, La Touche or Sivert
I always wished ac was more conducive to ghosting but god the ubi jank has never made it not frustrating
Play Mark of the Njnja
Or MGS V
I believe they have mechanics implementing Ghosting
I like the idea of ghosting and I love doing that in games like Splinter Cell or Watch Dogs but in AC games most of the times I choose different path (even though I find ghosting extremely satisfying). Silently killing everybody on my way to the target sometimes gives me more fun. So it really just depends on a game.
Yeah both styles are fun
the thumbnail is perfectly suited for a messi troll meme
AC Chronicles: China is easily the most challenging and rewarding AC game that encourages Ghosting. From the world design, to the tools, the medal system and the challenging enemies. That game quickly became one of my favorite Assassin's Creed games and it was because of how polished it was and how it incentivized stealth.
Ghosting in that game is so rewarding
I'm gonna try to play like this, awesome video
Thank you!
Assassin's Creed Rogue has underrated ghost stealth, you can even ghost in stealth liberation missions. The Washington mission allows for social or traditional stealth approaches. The game offers great level designs and locations for stealth, despite being one of the least-played games in the series.
I need to give it more attention for sure
I don't know if it's one of the least played now, but I do wish Ubisoft didn't release it at the same time of the grahpically superior Unity release. It just made Rogue look old school, especially with it being a spin off so it's already fighting an uphill battle.
I’ve always been interested in delicate, tense stealth games like the original thief game (never played it, but heard it’s golden)
I wanna play it too
This is so awesome!!!
Thank you!
I agree on Unity and Syndicate. Origins has an enjoyable ghost stealth as well. You can complete most of the locations as a true ghost.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who considers this playstyle. I'll watch videos of other plyers just slaughtering their way through bases and outposts and I think to myself, "do all these guards really have to die?"
And as for stealth games that incentivize a more pacifist playstyle, Metal Gear Solid V: The phantom pain is probably one of the best examples. The game gives you the option of using both lethal and non lethal equipment during missions. There's also a feature called demon snake where, if you you constantly use lethal force and rank up enough demon points, then the shrapnel in snake's head will elongate into a horn and his face will be covered in blood that can't be washed off even if he takes a shower.
I have a video coming up on my other channel where i ghost
@@TheSpaniardAssassin Cool.
It's called a Ghost playstyle because you're supposed to be like a ghost, completing the mission and leaving it as if you were never there. That means leaving no trace of your path (except those mandated by your objective i.e. assassinating a target or stealing an item), and by definition choking someone out wouldn't be an option. It's not purist to say that just objectively doesn't make it a ghost run anymore. That just makes it a simple non-lethal run, which is its own thing. Ghosting isn't about lethality, it's about 0 suspicion.
Ok, is nonlethal runs something an assassin would do? I’m going to be going through assassin’s creed rogue and I wonder if it would fit more negatively to do a ghosting or a nonlethal play through of the story I have left i’m at sequence two
@BenthewildchildE750 well you're playing a Templar in Rogue, so you could kill whoever you want in theory. A ghost run would still be just assassinating only the target without ever being noticed, regardless of context. For the sake of roleplay, that's probably what Shay would do cuz he was raised by Assassins and still strongly believes in not spilling innocent blood.
@@4589dude thank you, I meant narratively instead of negatively by the way
@@BenthewildchildE750 I just completed most of my missions non lethally.
Suddenly I see Shay in a completely different light.
If he values life so much he only is willing to kill specific targets for the greater good and never kills guards than it makes the earthquake and deaths so much more impactfull to him.
And the assassins willing to use poison gass also would be considered a horrible crime to him if he himself is not actively using gass, manic darts and stealth kills on soldiers but only resorts to non lethal chokeholds if he has no other options.
@@BenthewildchildE750 I used to see Shay as this bad guy as he mass kills soldiers, uses manic darts, gass and impulsively turns on his friends and ends up killing them all.
But if you play it non lethally than it actually makes him look like the good guy.
I was playing ac mirage and ghosted "the concubine" side contract, then this vid was recommended to me
Just stumbled upon your content brotha and I absolutely love it! I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on ACs multiplier back in black flag. Did you happen to play it and if so what did you think of it?
I loved it man
Yeah, my biggest complaint with stealth in Mirage is the lack of non-lethal takedowns.
Same
I don't know if you've played splinter cell blacklist or not. But ghosting in that game is the most rewarding playstyle and also the one with the most tools. I wish AC was more rewarding just as blacklist was. But nonetheless it feels pretty intense to try and ghost through these games. Specially if you limit the use of tools such as smoke bombs which are kinda broken
Regarding smoke bombs do you mention the ones in SCB or AC ? I remember smokes giving your position in blacklist, being something like a high profile tool in ac
I love blacklist, I sometimes go for what I call true ghost/no alterations meaning: no tools used(no IEM/ cams even destroyed), not detected/ seen, no guard neutralized, doors must stay like they were and so on
The only thing is your patience, brain and maybe whistle, this is challenging
@@matteolefevre9514 I was talking about AC. It’s not as much useful in scb. In fact I can’t remember any game that has smoke bombs as broken as ac
@@matteolefevre9514 I absolutely love that style. Specially leaving the doors as they are since npcs react to open doors. It’s crazy how ubisoft had such a great ai back then and never managed to have a consistent ai in their games since
I need to play that game now
I just wish assassins creed had more ways of getting through without even interacting with guards. Theres alot of areas where you can but for the most part theres always atleast one guard you HAVE to interact with. A true ghost is like, no one even knew you were there. Which ive only been able to do with a few games. I think the best game where there was equal challenge to fun was the Metro games.
yeah ac is very elimination based
I also wish that the Arkham series had more ghosting opportunities. The beat down aspect is fun but overused in my opinion. A few missions where I can use the shadow aspect if Batman would have awesome.
I think ghosting also helps with general immersion.
I'm a veteran AC player, I've played nearly every main release game except Valhalla and Unity, starting way back when I got the very first one on Gamefly, back when that was a thing. Before you could stream Netflix.
And the problem, for me, with killing all of the guards along with the target is that the guards should notice, even if they don't see or hear any of your kills. Even if they don't find any bodies, beyond a certain point it should occur to them that Gary isn't at his post, that they haven't seen Steve in a while, that Joe said he was just going around the corner to piss, he really should have been back by now.
Sure, it might take a while for someone in a fort garrisoned by fifty to notice that one or two guys is missing, but after about four or five kills you'd think somebody would notice that somebody isn't where they're supposed to be and start poking around and getting suspicious.
But they never do. They just keep wandering along their patrol routes, looking for, not anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, but you and dead bodies, specifically. As long as they don't see either of those things, everything is fine. Even if twenty minutes ago there were twenty other people in the building and now they're alone, no assassin and no dead bodies, so everything's fine.
A lot of stealth games have this problem in my experience, actually. Thief, Dishonored, Skyrim, Fallout, Deus Ex, Far Cry, Splinter Cell; in fact I don't think I've ever played a stealth game that didn't have this failing.
And I know skyrim, fallout, far cry, and deus ex are not primarily stealth games, but they all have at least serviceable stealth mechanics and can be played as stealth games, and more importantly when doing so they too suffer from this problem.
The closest I can get is just not hiding bodies and leaving them where they were killed so that surviving NPCs will notice immediately when something is up, but that too isn't perfect, too far in the other direction.
Ghosting completely negates that problem though. The whole point is that you kill your target and loot the place dry without anyone ever knowing you were there, like the valuables just teleported away and the boss spontaneously sprung a leak in his neck.
Really the only way to do a high lethality run without breaking my immersion is to just not stealth. Just go in guns blazing every time. It doesn't make sense that they don't notice that they're being killed off, so don't hide it.
I always try to play like that because it make me feel like a bad ass like imagine killing the head only and making the guards look like a fool knowing they were there to protect someone and they got to explain how the boss got kill with them guarding the place😂
Yes I believe Ghost Stealth is canon✨ because it upholds the tenets of the creed
But
I found the ghost stealth play style in the Ezio trilogy frustrating because the level design often forces non-target kills, making it feel like I'm treating guards as target dummies.
That's why I love AC1, we have only a handful of tools under our belt yet we can assassinate 8 out of 9 targets as target only, AC1's level design was incredible
most novelisations arent as ghost-y as one would hope
Canon is the 100% sync of each memory.
You are required to kill non-targets to complete them.
How is arno supposed to Berserk 2 grunts, do 3 cover kills and 4 headshot kills while only killing the target?
He can't.
Nice throw back to one of your older video in the backround. I don't remember who you were assasinating
me neither lmao
I'm playing Mirage rn and i can confirm that's one of the best ac games for ghosting. 👍
Couldn't agree more
2:11 LMFAAOOOOO idk this made me 😂
I do this in Splintercell, but AC, for me, is too clumsy. The assassins either stand oddly or move far too fast for my ability when it comes to these rules. Not to mention NPC awareness like Mirage where I was spotted thru walls. I prefer characters who do this, so I'd love a more stealth based AC game but as of right now, I won't be doing so in any ACs but I will in other franchises.
All the dates Ive been on recently have also been masters at ghosting
😭😭
I took your words to heart and now my friends don't want to talk to me. They all say I "don't take our friendships seriously"
Hahahaha bro😭
I did ghosting when I was younger but without realizing I was doing it. Pllinter cell and other such games of that time. I now no longer try very much. Too much effort and stress for zero reward. I was doing forth in Origins, I clear every enemy without being seen. I finally go for the Commander asassassination and it doesn't kill him. I got so mad I raged kill all the enemies on 3 attempts, and finally kill the health sponge commander. I think Origins is one the top 10 games ever made. But ghosting is fucking annoying when the devs don't respect your efforts to be stealthy.
Sorry for the grammar. I suck at doing grammar.
Watching this videos makes me think that maaaaaybe i dont really have to kill all those i come across
Just maybe
I thought by ghosting I should not even knock guards out and just sneak past them .......... that's gonna be my next challenge in Unity.
Good luck’
@@TheSpaniardAssassin Thanks m8
That thumbnail is so cold
;)
Are you also Altair Stealth?
Lol just saw that you are from one of your other videos. I saw lots of people accusing your shorts channel of stealing "The Spaniards" content. I feel like you should clarify things so people don't trash you for no reason.
Keep it up!!
Thanks man!!
I tried ghosting in odyssey it was actually surprisingly easy once i knew what i was doing
"I am but a blade in the crowd"
~ Altair Ibn La'ahad
iconic quote
Most games my first playthrough is a ghost playthrough any stealth game i actually got the idea from dishonored went back and played revelations about 80% i think ghost didnt black flag because pirate fantasy goes hard but i did it with mirage which is why i love the game so much and i did it with hitman
Do you like Splinter Cell? Been playing Chaos Theory on my PS3 for the first time and it’s so satisfying trying to get through the levels undetected.
I tried Ghosting a fort in Odyssey (kill only captains & polemarchs)... It didn't go well.
ghosting he's talking bout : 🗿
ghosting that comes to my mind : 💀
great video man ❤ + 1 sub
bro i might play the whole franchise again with this idea its sick !
Thanks for the sub!
I concur herr doktor!
😂😂
AC shadows will promote have this pacifist ghost mode playstyle which will be fun with Naoe, especially on very hard difficulty
Thats so cool
i found 2 missions in ac unity hard to ghost i think it was sequence 9 and 11
I love ghosting but im bad at it in games where you can do it usually
ac unity is good
Funnily enough, personally I feel like AC1 is the only game (aside from maybe... rogue i guess?) where it doesn’t feel that wrong to kill guards because the Assassins in that game are a lot more morally grey. In all the other games I feel like killing guards left and right creates a lot more ludonarrative dissonance because the Assassins are the indisputable Good Guys and so Ghosting feels like it makes more sense.
For example, I discovered Ghosting not too long ago through some cool Mirage videos and then did a whole playthrough of that game in that style and it just felt so right bc Basim (in Mirage) really feels like someone who’s very opposed to unnecessary bloodshed (see the scene where Ali interrogates that one guy and Basim very strongly disapproves of his brutal methods).
And then when I was finished with Mirage I wanted to try with some of the other games, but when I replayed AC1, idk, it almost felt WRONG… like, Altair is a lot more ruthless than most of the other protagonists and a lot more loose with the definition of "innocent", even at the end of his arc (only in AC1 tho, bc I feel like Revelations kind of changed his characterization but that’s a whole other story), like, until the very end he still kills every single interrogation target bc they might warn his main target and endanger the mission. So to me it almost felt out of character for him to not kill a guard when that would make reaching the target easier.
yeah i agree
If we are talking about the hardest it has to be ac1 at that time the parkour mechanics werent really fast nor where there any smoke bombs to escape with you need to be very skilled to ghost in a game like that
Sometimes i succed ,sometimes there a casualty🙄 other times i got a blood hunger and went in like a psyco mass murder😂
😂😂
Amazing video as always. Honestly you and So Says Jay are carrying assassins creed.
That is high praise
Ghosting isn't just "no killing". Ghosting is when you leave no trace behind at all, as if you were never there. The term originates from the classic Thief titles, there are specific rules for them on the TTLG Forums. Since AC is such a different game, I would imagine the rules would have to be different. If you were going by the Thief rules, you wouldn't be allowed to use tools like smoke bomb, and being seen/detected for even a second would end in a failure, even if you didn't trigger an alert/combat. I have tried ghosting before in AC and it is absolutely brutal, to the point of being practically impossible to do using the original ruleset from Thief.
true
the thumbnail caption really be the majority of girls I’ve talked to
Lmao
After watching this video, i think ill give ghosting a try.
I usually just mow everyone down haha so this will be a challenge.
Playing AC3 now. Maybe ill attempt in the remaining games since im playing them all start to finish currently.
Have fun!
I can't stop thinking on how hitman does this so well, efectivly punishing you for taking inocent lives, and while killing guards is not "punished" it does look you from the highest points and Silent Assasin rating, I think play AC with the hitman mentaily would be pretty fun, wanna take a REAL challenge? Do it in one life mod in Mirage, I would say that is a real assassins experience
how do you get the art for your thumbnails? they're gorgeous
Thank you!! I find em online or AI
I Like To Think That Ghosting Is The Canon Way Of Playing And Lore Accurate Version. It Is Always Challenging, But Very Rewarding And A Good Scale To Measure Skill In Stealth~
Yeah I agree
Anyone else think of the Ghost of Dunwall achievement from Dishonored? Actually, better yet, did anyone here ever complete it?
Ubisoft Quebec couldn't fathom this because they've never played the games or read the lore.
😂😂
Cool, that's how I like to play too 😎 👻 🦅
So is it possible to do non-lethal takeouts in Mirage? I've been the one to go in guns blazing so to speak and this approach has always interested me but I'm not good enough at gaming to pull it off. That's my thought anyway.
I dont think you can :2
@@TheSpaniardAssassin I think I'll give it a go, and if I can't do a pure ghost playthrough I'll try to do as much stealth and as few takedowns as possible. Nice ideas.
True but Connor never lived or died by the creed. He had his own reasons for doing what he was doing. He wanted to strike fear into the templars and the British. Being quiet about it wouldn't have done what he wanted. He wanted everyone to know that whoever he killed was killed by an assassin. And he was damn good at it.
Pretty sure this clip was from a youtuber called The Spaniard. Great youtuber if you are an AC game fan.
while I believe that ghosting is the 'canonical' way to play AC, I don't think that AC as a series was designed to be played as a ghost. for instance, I'm in my 3rd Dishonored run atm, this time playing ghost clean-hands, and it's just so obvious how this game was fine-tuned to allow this playstyle to be played. also, in AC, I also get a feeling that all the enemies are actually evil. for instance, in Unity you can constantly see guards harassing the common people and every once in a while actually killing them. it's not like in Dishonored, where you get the feeling that the guards are innocent amidst a huge political conspiration which they don't understand at all, all of this while thinking that it was you who killed the Empress
Yeah ac is defo not designed for it
How easy or difficult would u say ghosting is in the Ezio trilogy, ac3, Rogue, and the rpgs?
not that difficult since there are choke outs, but strict ghosting, quite hard
The difficulty of ghosting in AC doesn't really have anything to do with skill, its because the game doesn't properly facilitate ghosting, compared to something like Splinter Cell. There is no immersion in playing that way because the game doesn't reward you, punish you, react or change to you playing that way, only games that properly facilitate ghosting do. If we're working on the premise that ghosting is how an assassin would actually operate, then ghosting would be waiting for the right opportunity when the target was alone. By not this and approaching the target while they're in a heavily guarded building would in of itself be an act that compromises the brotherhood. But of course, you wouldn't have a game if you were carrying out an assassination the way an actual assassin would. Which comes back to the original point of immersion which isn't there because that's not how an actual assassin would ever operate. A true assassin who only kills his target doesn't approach the target while they're in a heavily guarded building, if they were to they would be taking out guards.
I have completed ac unity in a ghosting playstyle it is kinda easy but that's because I have been playing ac since a long time since the days of Desmond miles, Guards are not innocent, they know who they are serving and what purpose they are serving, they are an impediment to missions, I have told this repeatedly yet no one understands it, but if you like a challenge sure try ghosting, incapacitating only takes pot more vigilance so yeah
Chad that takes a lot of skill
@@TheSpaniardAssassin Hehe thanks man, I cannot try the new ac games, as I am still a student and kinda broke, but it feels good to have a such a dedicated youtuber to this series. Your content is quite high quality and more variance will take you a long way. But that's just me, keep up the good work
Some games have guards who know what they are there for (unity being the main one) but in games like black flag and 3 have British who are just doing there job.
