If anyone is wondering how to do dashed R1 and Dashed R2 (Dashed RB and Dashed RT on Xbox), Press and Hold the dodge button (square on PS and X on xbox) and then press R1 or R2 (RB or RT for xbox)
@@Truth_Hurts_Bad actually pc has a different set of controls. You are speaking without understanding the actual matter. For example, pc doesn’t have a single key for heavy attack. Heavy is block plus light attack.
The point of the scepters is that every consecutive hit increases damage, and it stacks, so if you don’t miss, you can potentially get up to 300+ damage a light attack. The spears gave high crit damage, max level 300% crit damage which, if you’re lucky, can hit up to 900 even with a low level spear. Normal swords have high crit chance, max level giving 50%.
Late but after Odyssey, I do like the new combat. It's growing on me. Still, I really miss the old combo-chain-of-death gameplay from Brotherhood. Let's hope the next AC game let's us build up the character to that point where he chain combos like Ezio mid-late game. That said, I don't want to be decked out in metal armor and trying to sneak about. I like customizing my outfit/gear, but not like Odyssey. I liked Unity's customization because you could still customize your outfit pieces, but it was assassin-like gear. Ezio's lightweight armor is the furthest that armor should really go.
You forgot to mention the continous light attacks (it's a skill you can obtain in a skill tree), which are realy important.1.) Swords have rapid speed slashes that deal medium damage and last hit pushes enemy backwards.2.) Sickle - basic 2 vertical slashes. After the first one Bayek steps back and then does the second one. Medium - High damage (if you are lucky to get critical hit)3.) Blunt - big range heavy frontal attack, but really long recovery so make sure to dodge so you won't get staggered. It counts as light attack so the damage isn't high.4.) Dual swords - Multiple slashes that deal medium - high damage in quick succession. After performing the slashes Bayek steps backwards.5.)Scepter - Bayek goes forward with Scepter placed horizontally. All enemies which get in the way will be damaged. The damage is medium6.) Spear - my favourite! 2 really long 360* slashes that deal ridicolous damage. Only thing that makes spear better than sickle sword in fighting multiple enemies.
I always like to use the spear because of the funny stabbing attack. Also the hammer since it has its own parry. The problem is they stick out of any object you're hiding behind 😂
For anyone learning combat : go to settings- gameplay - and set the Shield to "toggle" so that you don't need to hold down the shield button all the time . Then use your ability points to get the heavy charged attack and the light charged combo attack ( both require you to hold down on the necessary buttons to activate )Those along with learning to parry will be the gamechanger .
I absolutely love this game! The game is huge and really fun, I played syndicate for about 20 mins I didn’t care about taking over London and helping the twins but I’m invested in this story and I care about Bayek and his ppl. Idk why people are rating it bad, it’s an amazing game. Btw how do you get better weapons? You do the side missions?
i agree this is an awesome game im still in the early part of the game i believe the ones that give any game a bad rating don't know how to play it and they complain about it and give it a bad rating my first ever playing AC this one get a very good rating
3 minutes in and what a fucking fantastic video! I gotta ask how did you even find out all this stuff about the game, there is no tutorial or guide or anything within the game itself! Fantastic and the best video I have watched yet, I have been through at least 10 ACO videos already now.
I love running into your guides Cowboy! You got me through DS3 and now that I know you have origins you'll get me through this as well! Keep doin what your doin man!
Great video but I'm pulling my hair out that he's missing out on the best attacks because he's not figured out if you just hold the attack button you do a combo. The Heavy Blade combo is absolutely devastating.
When jumping off high structures you can hold forward and x (on ps4) and Bayek will do a roll reducing fall damage significantly. I'm not sure if the game mentioned that.
Nice video cowboy, i would like to add something on weapon combos. There is a skill where in if a light attaci connects you can hold R1 button and it will do another moveset
The only problem is that you didn't show the special attack from holding light attack. For some weapons (like scepter) it boost damage tremendously while some (especially dual dagger) boost the evasive ability. I highly recomend you dont ignore that ability, it's extremely fun and strong.
I agree with his assessment. I too love the Scepter or even better the legendary bladed scepter with max stats and health on hit. The Sickel comes in 2nd for me too.
One thing you didn't mentioned, sickle swords can stun enemies bearing shields with a heavy attack for a short time which when followed by light attacks is very deadly.
No other weapon in the game has this ability. That is why I always keep a sickle sword as my secondary so as to break those huge enemies carrying shields.
For anyone that doesn't know, you have the ability to change your hair and beard back to what is was during the prologue. You can have your beard and shaved head, long hair shaved face, and both. Use L2/R2+Triangle/Y on the gear page
I quite like the sickle swords. The fang is amazing. Bleed poison DoT hits pretty hard fast swings and most importantly gold adrenaline god mode. I mean the blue one will off one target. The gold will finish off all the enemies arround you.
Can’t wait for Nioh 2 to drop on pc so I can watch the fightin cowboy walkthroughs. I first started watchin cowboy on a Bloodborne guide and haven’t found better walkthrough advice and videos since. 💯
I have to say it cause it came up while I was playing the game. You can get a chain attack in with all weapons in the game with the dual swords it is more apparent but when you have the blue adrenaline bar and hit someone it always says chain attack making it possible to get more damage
Thanks a lot for this in-depth video. It helped me a lot as I'm still quite new to this game. One question... What do you mean when you refer to a dash R1 attack or dash R2 attack please? How do you perform this type of attack? Shield mode OFF + hold Circle (to dash as in shield charge?) + press R1 or R2? I would really appreciate your help with this as it seems quite useful.
The adrenaline mode for heavy blunt also gives you a ton of poise. I'm about to 100% the whole game + DLC having played almost exclusively with tools and hidden blade, some dagger combat, and a bit of sniping when in a hurry. The arena was my first taste of other weapons and the weapon system in general. I really like sickle swords and spears, but I feel none of the weapons apart from the daggers and maybe the sword belong in this game. Everyone calls Bayek a shadow, which is ridiculous if you're wiping whole bases with a hammer.
You forgot to say ''hold'' combo. When you hold RB you'll have different combos. Like with the spears when you hold RB Bayek will swing the spear couple times which deals a lot of damage. I don't know if anyone told that but i say it anyways.
From a history and immersion standpoint I'm really not happy with this. So I'm gonna make a few suggestions what they could have done, whilst mostly preserving the gameplay. Let's start with the bows, the immersion issue of which is obvious. The same roles (also not exact function) can be fulfilled by other weapons than bows which were used at the time, in large quantities. There are different ammo types anyway. Warrior bow -> Javelin: A thrown spear with low speed and high drop which is thus better suited for short ranges. It's relatively large (->low ammo) Light bow -> war dart: smaller "javelins" with fletching multiple of which can be held in the shield hand whilst quickly being thrown with the right (the move is kind of funny, at least for the late roman plumbata). Other small projectiles such as throwing knives would be possible too (heck even rocks for crappy early game ;-)) Hunter bow -> Sling: I think we all know it, a sling used for launching well ball shaped projectiles. It has a wind up but is still quite quick. Predator Bow -> Bow. C'mon that one is obvious. If I'm not mistaken, the longest ranged handheld weapon in antiquity. With these adjustments no gameplay would be sacrificed but immersion would profit significantly. Continuation in the answers.
So here's the melee stuff, which is less obvious: simple swords can stay, just limit them to the straight, double edged ones. Some are a bit oversized. sickle swords -> slashing swords. Anything curved, single edged. The khopesh fell out of use around 1300 bce and the shotel came in the 17th century iirc. some examples currently classified as simple swords could stay alongside things like the kopis. heavy bladed -> axes (one handed). 2 handed melee weapons weren't really a thing back then, due to very shield heavy combat. So just take one handed versions, keep the gameplay and change the animations. They are used thith a shield anyway. heavy blunt -> maces. The same as with bladed. scepters (should be called staves ;-) ) and dual blades seem fine.
Was able to do the chain attavk with the spear. Best way I found was go fight someone who is one more levels higher than you but a brute or captain Or phaliki thing at a fort and it will work you pick the person up and throw them pretty cool
Yeh, when people do these videos they always just assume you have a controller and go 'R1', 'Y button', etc. I wish you guys would name the move, or action associated with that button, so this stuff isn't just for controller users alone. If you name the button as 'Charge Heavy Attack' then PC players can figure out themselves which button that is. This way we don't have a clue and it requires more searching to figure it out. Your video is good, but it would be better if you made it for AC players in general, not just AC players on a console with a controller :( Eternal struggle we have to face, unfortunately.
Overhead slash attack = Tap Space then tap Shift and click LMB while moving forward (W) Forward Thrust = Tap Space then click LMB while moving forward. Charged R2 = Hold Shift and LMB simultaneously until the sword gets charged.
this is a really good video. i like it. my favorite are the spears, regular swords and sickle swords. against animals i use the dual blades do the the speed of them
So like... spears just magically double in size when you take them off your back? Like, I can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention that before. Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite series but that's seems like a huge oversight
@@johnnymacgillivray3854 Honestly, you're the loser here if you're going after people in a feeble attempt to raise your own self-esteem, can't even use the right you're either. Sit down, kid.
If you're like me and thought it didnt feel like an Assassin's Creed game, change the controls to the alt. Control set. It really helped this game feel like it was apart of the AC series again
Thanks for this video brother, its exactly what I was looking for and I learned alot. You just got a new sub, gonna go check out your back catalog next :)

Never thought that an AC game would get a weapons guide video 😂

they actually put some thought into the fucking brainless system the arkham games use or what AC used to use.
nabil ravat true that. Tbh i prefer origins combat over the witcher 3 since they fall into the same category

Great breakdown. Peace and love from Cairo, Egypt.
Hello fellow Mourad
Excellent in-depth weapons guide!! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Was so glad when I found my favorite streamer covering one of my favorite games.
Great video but I'm pulling my hair out that he's missing out on the best attacks because he's not figured out if you just hold the attack button you do a combo. The Heavy Blade combo is absolutely devastating.
I have played this game a lot. But I never knew so many possible combos that can be used. Thank you so much, this video was really helpful!!!
Gotta say, this is a very well made video. I learned quite a bit watching this. Subbed

You completely forgot the most powerful moves on every weapon THE PUSH ATTACK COMBO
THE SPEAR IS INSANE WITH THAT
Watching this in 2022... cowboy never let's me down when starting a new game!...
This game is freakin awesome just got it for $10 Xbox series x never played assassins creed
Hey cowboy when borderlands 3 comes out u should play love your content bro keep it up always helpful

FightinCowboy yeah but the charged heavy only work if you have the point so
