13 Things You Didn't Know Were Possible In Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin's Creed Mirage puts the focus back on  Assassin stealth tactics and using your gadgets   to get the job done from my time with it there  are some important things you'll want to know   that'll separate the little babber assassins from  the Batman tier masters of subterfuge I'll show   you some special combat mechanics upgrades and  tools that can completely change the game and   a few things that Mirage doesn't just flat out  tell you you can do so let's just get into it   I'm Alex and and if you happen to be new to my  channel hey hit subscribe for me first if you're   pretty high up but you're not within range for  a normal assassination you can actually use the   new Assassin's Focus ability while plummeting in  midair you can use that to become a blur of kills   along the way down and avoid splatting with fall  damage at the end of it these big mace wielding   armor dudes can't be damaged from the front you  can try to hit them in the back or just use the   classic Arrow to the knee tactic using just a  single throwing knife on their leg bits will   knock them down and set them up for an insta  kill so you no longer have to deal with their   annoying armor Shenanigans you can also break  their signal horn with a well-placed throw but   for the most part just get them in the leg and  neutralize them when they're down if you watch   my AC Valhalla guide back in the day you might  know that I love a good infinite use free torch   and there's all kinds of stuff you can do with  the one in Mirage you can use it to set enemies   on fire from a distance and actually get them  to move from their current location useful if   you need to gain access to a place but you don't  want to completely Slaughter everyone along the   way since there are sometimes optional mission  objectives to not kill anyone or if you're a bit   more aggro use this free throwable fire source  to engulf someone in Flames to run them straight   into your compassionate embrace the smoke bomb  has an upgrade you can get that will ignite it   when thrown towards a a fire Source if none are  within proximity of your targets just use your   torch ahead of time to prime it for detonation  when it lands when your notoriety is high enough   these hard tokill elite units will be sent to find  you but if you manage to kill them instead of them   you that'll completely reset your notoriety level  back to zero for free if a straightup fight isn't   working for you try the choking fumes upgrade for  the smoke bomb that can stun them for a bit and   drain their health another option is to fully  deplete their defense gauge above their health   bar the Parry to kick move works well for draining  that and once the defense gauge is broken you can   instakill them regardless of their current health  both your sword and Dagger have a raw damage value   and a defense damage value so if you want to  attack less and aim for more of a Parry Focus   play style go for weapons with a higher defense  damage stat at the blacksmith if you prefer the   stats of a certain weapon but you're not into  how it looks you can slap a Cosmetic Skin of   any of your other weapons right over it while  maintaining its stats and upgrade level enemy   attacks in red can't be parried however your  sword and Dagger have a hidden bonus being able   to interrupt if you land a heavy attack during  the enemy's attack animation instead of having   to dodge out of the way it just power through them  with a well-timed heavy attack by the way you can   also Dodge cancel out of pretty much any of your  attacks to lessen the ending lag of the animation   theft find a busy intersection and turn on Eagle  Vision that'll automatically highlight the coin   purses on any one you can pickpocket turn these  bustling traffic ways into little money-making   factories for you and this can also net you  tokens that you can cash in to reduce the prices   of certain vendors or to hire some temporary  MPCs there's two different coin purse Rarities   either they'll be highlighted silver or gold  indicating the quality of loot they're carrying   on them there's also an upgrade in the skill tree  that lets you sometimes insta steal and gain more   from pickpocketing if you want to avoid the timing  based miname entirely while pickpocketing you can   put the target to sleep ahead of time and easily  then swipe their goods while they're unconscious I   was almost feeling bad for all these civilian Dro  picking on but then I realized how much the love   to tattle on you God alarm get that man bro I'm  just standing here the Assassin's Focus ability   you might assume at first it's just for setting  up quick strings of kills but it's also a really   effective one-off warp attack that can quickly get  you up to hard to reach spots there's going to be   a lot of heavily fortified areas you'll need to  find a way into and using assassin's focus on one   of those wall guards is a super easy way to get  right in there without all the hassle the Trap   tool is a non-lethal proximity explo no wait let  me fix this the Trap tool is a ridiculously lethal   proximity explosive capable of knocking down  enemies the knockdown effect of the Trap has   the added benefit of setting up most enemies for a  easy skewer while they're mediocrely break dancing   this along with the smoke bomb are your best  options for quick disposal of multiple enemies   there's also an upgrade you can get for the Trap  that let you remote detonate it by whistling you   can quick access the three tools listed here by  pressing their corresponding button while you're   aiming with any other tool that gives you quick  use of traps noise makers or smoke bombs in case   you need to pop one during a fight these big sword  wielding armor dudes got smart and also covered   their legs and armor so that dagger to the knee  trick from earlier won't won't work on them but if   you dodge around to their back and hit them with  a single sleep Dart that will set them up for a   quick insta kill the counter roll skill is useful  for this since that lets you dodge up and over   someone while they're in the middle of an attack  animation the torch is coming in clutch again   which can set more things a light than you might  initially assume pretty much if it looks like it   has straw or hay or whatever on it it can probably  catch fire you you can use well-placed arson to   lure guards set up traps and create distractions  you're going to be finding this red Dusty stuff   all over the map in bags and containers striking  these will Pluff out a large cloud of smoke just   like the smoke bomb tool but for free that'll  set enemies back up to be assassinated while your   Elite allergy resistance Powers right through that  junk these fire guys have a special exploitable   weakness just like the armored enemies if you hit  the canister on their back that will immediately   trigger their rig to explode the dagger I have  equipped here slows down time after a Parry which   makes for an easy opportunity to trigger that  canister melting their entire setup like a bad PC   Port that's not a cheap jab at this though because  thankfully the PC version of Mirage is pretty   solid I had everything maxed out in 4k throughout  this video and it was constantly buttery smooth   even with all the distant architecture being drawn  in and those NPCs running around although the map   isn't anywhere as gargantuan as the last three  Assassin's Creed Maps it's much more dense and   doesn't really have padded travel time to get you  around at the things you need to do I was worried   the new area was going to be too small but it's  not really it just trims down the busy work and   crams a lot into the space it uses all right  those were just a few of the things I've been   playing around with that I thought you might  want to know before heading into Assassin's   Creed Mirage down in the comments or hit me  up at Boomstick Alex on X with your thoughts   on this departure back to the stealthy origins  of Assassin's Creed do you prefer the sneaking   blending into crowds and all that or do you prefer  it to be more like a big open world action game   let me know thanks for checking this out today  I'm Alex and I'll see you soon in the next one oh
