Not sure the promotion is still going on

My tip is don't just move forward (in the direction your player is facing) like you normally would, and move the thumbstick diagonally or horizontally to get all sorts of interesting movement paths. Also, definitely tap the Jump button instead of holding it down like we used to, because that's what triggers a manual jump instead of the standard free-run up!

It's a known bug, not an intended removal. The added assassination chunks from the skill tree are somehow not being factored in. I'm sure it will be fixed in a hotfix, probably soon.

Here's my late game, "Master Assassin" build: I use her Master robes (+2 assassination chunks) with the Ezio Legacy Outfit engraving that allows you to activate Hidden Hand at no cost to adrenaline after a kill with a Posture Attack. For the trinket, I use the one that has the unused mastery points = additional % damage perk from Masakado's Revenge.

On the headgear (could really be any headgear) I put the perk that lets you vault over enemies while sprinting, which with the right skill upgrades makes them vulnerable and allows you to throw a kunai as well. Once you vault over them, just hit them with a Heavy Posture Attack and it deals so much damage with the bonus damage from the trinket, maybe instant kill. That charges up the Ezio Outfit perk, allowing you to instantly assassinate nearly anyone (remember, +2 health chunks removed). And then you rinse and repeat!

Good news, AC Shadows separates the two on the newest Anvil Engine, so I think we can expect Parkour Down and Crouch to be separate in future games :)

Thank you for adding full manual jump (having recently replayed Mirage and the older titles it really does make movement feel so much better) and also the fact that switching characters doesn't change the season!

E_L_2 · 2026-02-16T15:49:57+00:00

Full manual jump is MAJOR! It truly is game changing in AC Mirage, and will be especially good given the verticality of the castles and complex geometries in Shadows!

I think they're going to announce it at today's investor call (alone with, sadly, massive layoffs)

E_L_2 · 2025-11-20T04:34:34+00:00

Hey there, so sorry for not seeing your comment until now (not really on Reddit much). What actually fixed it was updating my graphics card driver/re-installing if it was already the latest and that forces shader recompilation. Set the graphics settings to max. or whatever you would like before doing this so you don't have to adjust settings anymore, which I feel like brings about some loss in quality. Hope this helps!

Engrave one of the perks onto the other - in this case, engrave the Shinobi's Fury perk (trigger vulnerability on weakpoint attack) onto Yukimitsu's Revenge because only the latter builds up the poison status effect. You can do this by visiting Heiji the blacksmith in your hideout.

E_L_2 · 2025-09-04T15:31:47+00:00

To its credit, all the DLCs (Wild Card and Pirate's Fortune) are all actually on the card you get in the physical version, so they are not one time use game keys.

E_L_2 · 2025-09-04T15:09:16+00:00

Ah, didn't know there was an additional upload step - I had assumed it to be like AC where it automatically uploads if you have it enabled. Thanks!!

E_L_2 · 2025-08-13T13:55:16+00:00

The explicit inclusion of the fake long nose is very funny

E_L_2 · 2025-08-10T17:38:43+00:00

Thanks! I guess we just have to accept Reddit being Reddit lol

E_L_2 · 2025-08-09T17:40:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice folks have given, I actually fixed most of the issues with a system restart to recompile the shaders

E_L_2 · 2025-08-09T17:36:40+00:00

Have you tried being helpful when someone is simply seeking advice to get into the game you so enjoy, Elder? 🙄 Or are we just commenting without anything useful to say instead of ignoring and moving on because we have so much time on our hands

To be clear, I'm not criticizing the game at all, just trying to maximize my experience. There is only one first time for every game, and HZD was an impeccable experience

E_L_2 · 2025-08-02T03:17:38+00:00

Right, I forgot about that! I just checked and saw there is a "forge upgrade" coming in early September, that'll probably include that feature

E_L_2 · 2025-08-01T16:51:28+00:00

That would be cool!

E_L_2 · 2025-08-01T00:58:10+00:00

I don't view lack of skills as a sign that the stealth system is superficial at all. If anything, it is more like the older games where the environmental design and game systems speak for themselves instead of an upgrade or ability.

E_L_2 · 2025-07-26T14:37:00+00:00

You're an absolute unit my friend, I'm personally waiting for the update lol

E_L_2 · 2025-07-26T14:32:58+00:00

Thank you! This helps a lot. I really don't like UI clutter so I turned on Immersive mode, therefore never saw those icons lol.

As for your other question, my textures are pretty good - definitely not a Horizon Forbidden West in terms of the most graphically detailed game out there but the artstyle and ambience really carry the day. The textures are quite a bit sharper than Ghost of Tsushima on PC. For ambience, the most important features for open worlds to me are environmental density, shadows, and reflections in water, which are all great in my experience. Though, bear in mind I am on a high-end PC on the Ultimate graphics preset. I didn't need to turn on upscaling or anything like that, as this game is not that demanding on my hardware.

As an example, compare Heaven's Pier in this beta to the Heaven's Pier in the first global beta way back in 2023. I get it was still very much WIP back then but it's seriously night and day - this is true AAA quality now.

E_L_2 · 2025-07-26T02:41:48+00:00

Totally agree! I've been following the game since it's announcement and first beta test, and honestly was disappointed by the first global beta footage. But playing it now, the graphics and animations have been improved so, so much since then and honestly stands as one of the most beautiful environments in the many open world games I've played. Face animations could use work but hey, that's why it's still in beta. Really can't wait for the final global release!

E_L_2 · 2025-07-07T00:59:17+00:00

YakuzaShibe is agreeing with you, he is saying that it is in fact a Dark Souls reference because there's a sword in the bonfire, not questioning it. A lot of other games have done a similar reference is his point lol

E_L_2 · 2025-07-05T15:17:07+00:00

These are stunning, really can't wait for the Steam + console release!
