Assassin's Creed Valhalla | The Entire Story Of Assassin's Creed (2020)

assassin's creed is my favorite franchise of all time and the main reason for that is the narrative these characters that were given more depth and realism than i was used to in the medium before playing i say these philosophies that created deep ideologies that were never one thing or another they were never good or bad the law is so fascinating expansive and perfectly connected to real world events it feels like this world could exist but these secret wars between assassins and templars could have actually happened with assassin's creed valhalla now just a few weeks away and the narrative being headed by darby mcdevitt in my opinion the series finest writer being behind ember's revelations and black flag i thought why not go back through every mainline assassin's creed title and recap the story so far since we're in for what's sure to be an excellent narrative so without further ado this is the story of assassin's creed on march 13th 1987 desmond miles was born to a woman we don't really know anything about william miles a veteran assassin desmond was raised in a community called the farm in the black hills of south dakota his father trained him to be a part of this group called the assassins from his very birth which could be a bit heavy at times he always warned desmond of his natural enemies the templars training him to be an assassin just like he was at age 16 desmond decided the community was simply insane conspiracy theorists and left for new york city on the 1st of september 2012 the templar daniel cross commanded desmond's capture after finding a fingerprint he provided for his motorcycle license he was taken to an abstergo facility in italy and regained consciousness in what would seem like a dream he was disoriented and surrounded by ancient foreign architecture some of which was phasing in and out of existence as well as these weird faceless women when desmond hears a voice i can't anchor him to the memory too much psychological trauma he's rejecting the treatment retreating desmond i need you to try and relax focus listen to the sound of my voice and recognize that what you're seeing isn't real just a picture of the past it can't hurt you [Music] damn it it's not working give it a moment mr man you'll adjust the first time it's never easy these people are warren vidic and lucy stillman both working for a company called abstergo industries a huge conglomerate with hands in the industries of medicine banking gaming tech and fitness they have a huge amount of control which is what the founders henry ford and ransom olds intended when they created the company in 1937 as a temple upfront but we'll get into them later in 1993 abstergo finally developed the first stable animus the animus is a tool that could be used to record a subject's genetic memories genetic memories are effectively the memories of your ancestors that are passed down through your dna the animus allows for a subject to relive these memories the purpose of this being so that abstergo could view the memories of people of interest and track down pieces of eden tools created by the ones who came before the precursor race known as the isu who were all but wiped out over 70 000 years ago as a result of a great catastrophe they take on a form similar to humans but are very different having a larger lifespan brains a third bigger than ours they're also slightly taller than humans on average and most importantly they have the sixth sense knowledge an ability which allows isu to look into various possibilities that play out in the future which does come into play later in the story to be able to use the animus desmond had to synchronize he had to let go of the initial stress and stop resisting so he could relive the memories of voltaire even as accurately as possible and that he did knowing that abstergo would kill him if he didn't he emerged in solomon's temple in jerusalem 1191 as ultie ebenla ahad a young overconfident master assassin hunting for the apple of eden desmond quickly learned that the assassins weren't just a crazy theory his family had but a real creed that had lived for millennia ulcier was a levantine assassin the eleventeen brotherhood were the assassins at their most disciplined and organized a group that made peace and freedom their two driving motivations carrying out assassinations and working in the dark to serve the light the assassins had three tenets to uphold and enforce their values snail blade from the flesh of an innocent hiding plain sight and never compromised the brotherhood all three which ultiere broke whilst hunting the apple as punishment for this his mentor amulem rasheed adinsi all here to kill nine people who were targets to the assassins arms merchants slavers scientists both saracens and crusaders alike and they were all connected to the templars the natural enemy of the assassins and a group with a lust for ultimate control although both groups strive for the same fake piece the issue is the templars wouldn't allow for the ultimate freedom that the assassins hold so dear instead opting to enforce peace by ultimate control and like the assassins they want the piece of eden had a voice capable of controlling the minds of men as altier completed his assassinations he was humbled and began to question things much more each day as desmond made more progress he'd learn more about exactly what was going on by eavesdropping on conversations and hacking vidic's laptop desmond learned that an abstergo higher up alan ricken was watching over vidic's progress apprehensively pushing him to make more as desmond was reliving all tier's memories the bleeding effect began to kick in this was when a subject's memories would begin to bleed together with their ancestors in a best case scenario it would mean the subject could adapt their skills in terms of combat and advanced movement but in a worst case scenario it could result in hallucinations the subject reliving the memories of their ancestor outside the animus and in some cases the subject would completely disassociate from themselves something that desmond was soon to find out about in a rather grisly way he was making good progress with ultier and having assassinated those nine templars he dealt with alma lim who had been pulling the strings the whole time he had altia kill those targets so he was free free to use the apple as he wished and control the minds of those around him seeing the damage and william had already caused ulcer killed him and the apple projected a map showcasing various points across the world where other pieces of eden or issue sights were what was once a crazy theory to desmond was now a surreal and bizarre reality with that abstergo had what they needed and desmond was taken out of the animus alan ricking discussed the success of the animus to vidic and what exactly they were to do according to ricken all they needed was one piece of eden for what exactly desmond didn't know lucy convinced vidic not to kill him as desmond could still be of some use and he was left to his owner voices knowing his life was in the balance of these men having spent so much time with altair desmond could now use eagle vision an ability inside all humans although only accessible to some whether it be for a matter of training the ability or having a high enough concentration of asu dna using eagle vision desmond saw blood all over the room weird symbols left behind by subject 16 the subject before him clickers marek clay was a student of william miles desmond's father who took him in and taught him the ways of the assassin brotherhood in 2010 he gave clay the mission of infiltrating obstergo and getting information about the animus project from vidic's computer clay was successful in his mission being able to provide the assassins with the location of their new facility in italy the exact figure of how much money was going into the project and the identity of its lead warren vinnick after that the assassins decided to root clay even further into abstergo this time he'd be a subject of vidiq himself william assured him he'd be safe under the supervision of their own inside agent lucy stillman warren's assistant by the assassin's design the next year clay was kidnapped by abstergo's lineage discovery and acquisition team a team specialized in finding and capturing subjects with valuable genetic memories clay relived the memories of italian assassin etio editore however for much too long causing clay to experience the bleeding effect clay soon surmised they were after an apple of aiden after asking vidic about this he told clay that if he truly knew what they were after he couldn't live to tell the tale william sent him a message assuring him that lucy wouldn't let any harm come to him and soon after clay found out exactly what the animus project was and was prepared to leave as it turned out this was far far bigger than simply a lust for control on december 21 2012 a solar cataclysm was projected to nearly wipe out all of humanity abstergo planned to stop this by launching the eye of abstergo a satellite that paired with an apple of eden would not only shield the earth from the flare according to their plan but also control its inhabitants all under the guise of being used for communications one launch failed destroying the piece of eden that they'd used hence why abstergo was scrambling to retrieve the apple as a result of the bleeding effect being so severe clay spoke to juno and isu one of those who came before she told him to help the next subject desmond miles to get a message out to him the truth she told clay of lucy's true nature that in her time with abstergo away from the assassins she had joined them feeling betrayed after spending seven years alone with abstergo she was now tasked with helping the assassins retrieve the apple only to return it to the templars lucy realized klein knew who she was and she couldn't let clay leave now if the assassins realised who she was the plan would be foiled she told clay that william and the assassins really didn't care for the lives they destroyed whereas the templars did at this point it became clear it was all over for clay the templars would use his genetic memories to control the world and eventually kill him clay opted for another option and went with juno's plan he planned to end his own life but not in vain during the night clay would hack the animus and implant a construct of himself inside it he hid glyphs and riffs with various messages across the memories of etude toure hoping subject 17 would get his message clay sent one final email to his father and then cut his wrists scrawling symbols across the lab with his blood and just so you know all of these actually mean something for example this symbol featuring an assassin above a triangle full of oys represents how the templars would use the apple to control everybody beneath them although to desmond this was simply confusing the truth was so close yet so far before he could even begin to comprehend what was happening lucy entered the room covered in blood telling him he was being saved desmond already trusted lucy she had previously gestured her alliance to the assassins and had always been sort of warned to him totally confused desmond was forced to re-enter the animus and synchronize with ezio auditore dafforente the same ancestor clay visited desmond watched ezio's birth to mario auditore and her husband the assassin giovanni auditore a wealthy florentine banker but desmond was quickly pulled out again desmond was surprised at lucy's coma pro-s as she dealt with the abstergo guards who would surely delay their escape they successfully fought off the guards and lucy was able to take them to an assassin hideout also in italy there they met two assassins sean hastings an english historian and analyst but also rebecca crane the assassin who recruited sean and she was also one of lucy's old friends whom she hadn't seen for seven years since working for abstergo using information lucy had sent her rebecca had made some slight tweaks to the animus the animus 2.0 this one was more like a chair and allowed for information to be sent from outside the animus sean utilized this by sending various databases to desmond and also speaking to him while he was in the animus despite the improvements the bleeding effect was still an issue however lucy told desmond she planned on utilizing it to make desmond an assassin learning the skills of his ancestor ezio auditorium going back into the animus ezio wasn't a baby anymore but a brash confident and cocky 17 year old who despite his eagerness for adventure and mischief was a man of honor integrity and family however more important than that was that this florentine noble was somehow connected to the apple in his days reliving etio's memory desmond experienced this child's growth into a wise and capable assassin whilst also picking up his skills and most importantly the truth desmond found those symbols clay left behind those glyphs each containing some sort of revelation that revealed the scope of this war to be even bigger than what desmond already comprehended after decoding them all he was left with a recording of one of clay's genetic memories two people running through a city so long ago seventy thousand years ago in fact yet everything looked kind of futuristic [Music] and i have it eve look out what he was seeing was adam and eve escaping eden an isu city with an apple of in and these two people these two humans adam and eve would lead the rebellion against the issue when ezio reached the vault under the sistine chapel a place said to have's great power ezio met minerva an isu scientist who explained to him who she was and who her people were telling him that humans were an isu creation that went south due to the aforementioned rebellion she told him of a great catastrophe that effectively decimated the issue during their time and that this catastrophe this cataclysm was set to occur again she tells desmond to find the grand temple so that this could be averted desmond was pulled out of the animus being told abstergo had found them and that they were attacking using a hidden blade that lucy got from i don't know probably wherever cleopatra got hers anyway after fighting off some abstergo guards and warren's plans to reclaim desmond were effectively crushed he fled as did the assassins heading to the villa editorial in monterrey jones the ancestral home of the editore and used it as a base to hide from the templars and continue looking for the apple by reliving the memories of ezio de tora whilst opening the door to the sanctuary desmond saw three numbers over a triangle using eagle vision 1419 1420 and 1421 although the assassins didn't exactly have a conclusive answer to what this meant just yet much like his previous animus sessions with ezio desmond found multiple messages from subject 16 this time in the form of riffs as opposed to glyphs after decoding all of them desmond mechlite as i mentioned before clay managed to imprint himself into the animus before his death and he told desmond of many things eve the son his son all before disappearing compiling subsystems infrastructure tendons heart voice object 16. yes yes subject 17. you're dead i saw your blood no time it is far later than you know too late to save them who she is not who you think she is everything you hope to become everything you hold dear it's already gone explain please eden she in eden find eve the key her dna tell me i cannot the sun your sun too weak must replenish energy don't go i am with you till the end find me in the darkness after going through seven years of ezio's memories in the coming days watching him lose monterey joni and mario only to topple the [ __ ] and become a mentor with an army of assassins at his back he learned that he left the apple under the coliseum the only thing they didn't have was a password which luckily enough sean figured out symbol matches the one on the door to the vault 14 19 14 20 14 21 what if they aren't dates 14 19 14 20 oh my god what god tell us already i am i am that i am the tetragrammaton the 72 names of god you see they're all contained within three verses exodus 19 through 21 and get this you'll like this if you arrange the four hebrew letters in god's name within an equilateral triangle their numerical values add up to the same number 72 are you absolutely sure about this that's kind of why i'm saying it out loud rebecca yeah but i haven't got to the kicker yet construction on the coliseum began in the year 72. i think we have our password sean go get the van the assassins finally have it the apple but desmond's very presence sets it off freezing everyone in that moment none of them could move and just then juno spoke to him that that's a phrygian camp it stands for freedom and that that's a masonic eye now those two come together in only one place what's happening i can't move your dna communes with the apple you have activated it let me go on the 72nd day before the moment of awakening you birth from our loins and the loins of our enemies the end and the beginning of [ __ ] and honor the final journey commences there is one who would accompany you through the gate she lies not within our sight the cross darkens the horizon what are you doing the path must be opened you cannot escape your part in this the scale shall be balanced stop please you know very little we must guide you [Music] cease your struggle [Music] no [Music] it is done the way lies all before you only she remains to be found awaken the sixth go alone the apple communicated with desmond and showed him what would happen who loose he was and in this alternate timeline that never came to be the satellite launch failed anyway i killed her you know saw what she was what would happen if i let her live i could have stopped myself i mean there was a force there but i didn't have to i chose to desmond lucy was going to betray us and take the apple back to abstergo i saw the satellite launched i saw them turn it on and then it failed after killing lucy desmond passed out and was taken away by the assassins at some point sean and rebecca met back up with william miles who put desmond back in the animus with this version of the animus also working a sort of life support and desmond awoke in a dark grey place the one that clay had mentioned and upon exploring this weird island desmond came across 16. just walk right past me 16. no they didn't tell you my name oh god damn it i'm still in the animus quite a shock rebecca get me out of here they can't help you desmond you're a broken man your mind it's broken broken i feel fine so did i look at me now let's talk buddy walk with me what is this place it's nice isn't it we're in the guts of the animus original test program no memories here just basic physics weather simulations hello world you're lucky someone up there had the sense to plug you in here saved your life saved it from what right now you should be sitting in a hospital drooling and chewing on your tongue for now the animus is keeping you intact keeping all your ancestors from collapsing into one big mess but if you can't find a sink nexus all those personalities will smash together that won't be pretty a sink nexus i'm getting there hold on there that thing is your way out you're screwing with me here's the problem your brain is hash too many ghosts in your head too many voices so how do you fix that you claw your way back into the stored data you find unfinished memories and you crack them open finish what you started until your ancestor has nothing left to show you that is a sync nexus and when you find it the animus can separate desmond from ezio and altair and send you home back to your body how do you know all this because it happened to me but my body it's warm food now so i'm stuck here a word of warning when you step through there everything changes nothing feels normal and so one last time desmond began reliving the memories of etsyo de toure and ultier ibn ahad so he could reach the sing nexus and after reaching this sync nexus desmond came across the isu jupiter ah there you are good a strange place this nexus of time i am not used to the calculations that has always been nervous domain i see you still have many questions who were we what became of us what do we desire of you you will have your answers within which to work each dedicated to a different method of salvation they were placed underground to avoid the war which raged above and also as a precaution should we fail in our efforts each knowledge was transmitted to a single place [Music] it was our duty blind minervas and junos to sort and sound all that was connected we chose those solutions which held the most promise and devoted ourselves to testing their merits six we tried in succession each more encouraging than the last that none worked and then the world ended [Music] [Music] [Music] you well so [Music] the earth shook for days the fires burned for weeks and when the ash had settled less than ten thousand of your kind still lived and far fewer of ours but we carried on together to rebuild to renew listen you must go there to the place where we labored labored and lost take my words pass them from your head into your hands that is how you will open the way i'd be warned much still remains in flux and i do not know how things will end either in my time or yours seeing the toba catastrophe and knowing what awaited the earth desmond told the assassins he knew what to do after heeding juno's warning they headed to the grand temple which was under a small village called turin in new york the apple would open the temple however there was another door further inside that needed a key to be opened one in the form of a necklace desmond initially followed the memories of his ancestor the british templar hatham kenway in the colonies in the 18th century he soon learned that heitham's son redone her gaiden or a hangarden or whatever noah what's name of choice was that day sorry it's still really annoys me also known as connor simply he held the cave in between animus sessions juno would tell desmond more about the ones who came before such as her husband aita a fellow issue scientist notable for the building of the observatory she told desmond how he was used as an experiment to see if the isu could have their consciousness placed into an artificial body this was one of the six methods of salvation various last-ditch efforts the isu had to try and save themselves from the catastrophe but of course none of them were successful when the experiment failed and aita faced a certain death juno implanted a trigger into the human genome so that at random in very rare cases certain individuals called sages would take on aita's memories and oftentimes his personality and dedication to juno although not always desmond also took breaks to find power sources to keep the temple powered off in one of these he came across daniel cross a templar he was previously subject for captured by the templars and forced to relive the memories of his ancestor at only nine years old cross suffered from the bleeding effect severely and often confused himself for his ancestor a russian assassin one time william moyles went searching for another power source in cairo he was captured by abstergo and held in the exact facility where desmond was only weeks before daniel cross was there and when met with the apple it triggered the bleeding effect causing him to flee leaving him defenseless for desmond to kill him desmond made his way up to vidic to see him standing over william with multiple guards pointing guns at him vidic asked one last time for the apple and i really i really don't know what he thought was going to happen here to be honest with you dad not so fast mr miles in case you hadn't noticed i'm the one calling the shots now give me the apple you want it fine here it is wait no you never should have come here you put everything on the line for what so you could rescue your father [Music] with william and the apple secured desmond continued to relive connor's memories until the key was found it was in the grave of connor's mentor's son connor davenport just outside the davenport homestead in massachusetts only the next day over the team retrieved the key and headed into the depths of the grand temple upon arriving the assassins came across juno stood by a large orb mounted upon a pedestal she told him that if desmond only touched it the disaster wouldn't strike the earth when suddenly minerva appeared telling desmond that the reason juno was locked in the temple was because she used technology like this to try and rule the world and would surely try again he was left with two choices to let humanity face a horrible disaster that would nearly wipe them out free of juno's control or die to save humanity leaving juno detroit and take over the world minerva used the eye to show him what would be and try and sway him the ground will crack and spit fire into the skies all the world will burn but this does not end the world merely heralds its arrival darkness follows then you emerge resolving to lay a foundation that such a tragedy does not befall the world again you will become a symbol to those who survive hope knowledge determination you will inspire them to rebuild to thrive once more and as the world heals so too will humanity but you are just a man frail and immortal you pass from the world leaving behind only a memory a legacy you will be remembered first as a hero later as a legend and in time as a god it is the cruelest fate to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise what was meant to encourage life used instead to justify taking it and so now you see that what was shall be again so tell me how is this better despite this desmond decided he'd do it he'd free juno and let the world be to him it was better a world with a glimpse of hope where it was still possible to beat juno and come out victorious rather than one that was so hopeless and desolate he said goodbye to his father rebecca and sean and then made a decision that would change the course of humanity suffice you sacrifice the world for no other reason than to deny me vindication they will enslave your kind desmond is this not why you fight is this not why you came here to ensure more than just your racist future but it's freedom what future what freedom billions dead and the whole cycle began anew this world has known nothing but heartache and horror since we left it our gift to them and you'd see it all returned enough you must not do this whatever juno's planning however terrible it might seem today we'll find a way to stop it but the alternative what you want there's no hope there if you free her you'll be destroyed it will happen in an instant there will be no pain you mustn't it's done minerva the decisions made then the consequences of this mistake are yours to live and to die with you need to go all of you now get as far away from here as you can come with us we'll find another way there isn't time son you know it's true it's already started i need to do this now so go go [Music] three it's some sort of global aurora borealis never seen anything like this before eyewitnesses describe electrical storms and erratic displays of unusual weather residents are being asked to remain inside and wait for geological surveys i was lighter an abstergo team phoned and dissected desmond's body taking every piece of dna they possibly could as ivo grammatical later described it they stripped him for part of their men his dna was then used by abstergo's entertainment sect in the sample 17 project the goal of abstergo entertainment was to use the genetic memories of various subjects to find interesting settings of video games they then used that money to fund the templars one employee who was particularly interesting characterized and well developed was tasked with reliving the memories of haitham's father and conor's grandfather the english welsh assassin edward kenway following his pursuit of the observatory and as i mentioned before this was built by the isu aita and its function was to survey anyone the isu wanted as it turned out an i.t employee at abstergo john standish was an aforementioned sage a reincarnation of aita he was sent to abstergo as a double agent for the assassins he wanted to use him to figure out what exactly happened to desmond but in reality he was a member of the instruments of the first will a cult dedicated to juno and her revival not loyal to the assassins or the templars and his plan was to use the resources of abstergo to revive juno from the great though he was stuck in his tracks and shot dead whilst trying to channel juno's consciousness into the body of one of the employees reliving the memories of edward kenway stanlish's body was used by dr ivo gramatica to launch the phoenix project which was effectively the use of the dna of sages to sequence their rare triple helix genome allowing them insight into how exactly they were so advanced with the end goal being to create an issue after realizing what was going on a group of assassins including sean hastings and galena voronena attacked the paris facility where the phoenix project was taking place destroying the body of john standish as well as one of the shrouds of enemy and this was the trade which housed the consciousness of conscience another issue it was around this time that otzo berg leader of sigma team effectively obstergo's own private military began using another analyst in abstergo to look into the memories of shy patrick cormack it is only a matter of time before i catch the last of them and kill them but it is not enough for them to die what happened in haiti happened in portugal a great earthquake thousands dead thanks to your time to manuscript get him out of here i want them to know how weak they truly are and i want everyone to see them suffer so on the day they finally meet me they will welcome the death i offer them jay was right oh he know more than me apparently my plan is in motion i have no further demand upon you however say story is not complete i would ask that you see it through to the end berg sent footage of shai's templar activities to the assassins is sort of a middle finger i guess i don't exactly see that being like top priority as a military leader and part of the inner sanctum which basically puts you on like the highest of rungs for the templars but like asia for their own i guess also that year the assassin bishop reached out to the helix user you yes you compelling assassin's creed character you who was playing these abstergo video games going through the tampered memories of a templar working with jacques de molay bishop told the initiate of how abstergo was manipulating these memories and also about the phoenix project requesting that the initiate relive the memories of arnold victor dorian so they could find the sage francois thomas sherman before abstergo could he would surely use him to progress with the project although his corpse had decomposed to the point where it was effectively useless the next year the initiate would team up with bishop rebecca and sean to track one of the shrouds of eden and isu artifact are notable for its incredible regenerative powers the assassins discovered the schrade was under buckingham palace after reliving the memories of twin assassins jacob and evie frey galena shawn and rebecca arrived to collect the shroud however so would otso berg as well as fellow templars violet decosta a member of sigma team and isabel ardant head of historical research and abstergo the two groups fought with shawn killing our daunt and violet shooting rebecca rebecca survived and the only person to die that night was isabella dunt in the heat of battle de costa escaped with the schrode bringing it back to gramatica's lap he intended to use this road to create a member of the eso however when he left it was revealed that violet was a member of the instruments of the first will who intended to help juno rule humanity hence why she was locked away in the grand temple because that has always been her grand plan and i did forget to mention that the issue created humans essentially to use them as slave labor you know that little chestnut is why she felt a little bit entitled to that but the other two members of the triad simply won't happen hello it's me brought the shroud as you asked but i'm scared do not fear me you've done well i'm not scared of you i'm scared for you anyone finds out what you've been doing you have played your part my instrument i will save you i will save you all in 2017 abstergo sent a member of the historical tactical team leila hassan to the guitar depression in egypt to find a piece of eden valuable to the templars previously laila had somehow managed to develop an animus that was able to read the dna of people unrelated to it and it was also able to decipher severely damaged dna it's not really explained at all but she wanted to prove herself to abstergo that she was more than just your average employee so when she and her employed girlfriend diana geary were sent to retrieve this artifact she found the tombs of bayek and aya which is when laila decided to use her portable animus which i guess she was just carrying about to relive their memories both of them were founding members of the hidden ones an early form of the assassins that would later bridge into the 11 teens during her time reliving their memories sigma team investigated what exactly was going on because laila hadn't reported back to abstergo they killed diana and attempted to kill layla who was able to defend herself after killing members of sigma team she effectively made herself an enemy of abstergo later on the assassin william wiles turned up and asked this abstergo employee there and then to join the assassins alongside you know this otso berg tear plastic surgery he's had he's he's also like suffered a severe brain injury in the last five years and all this game isn't very well written i'll i'll just let you decide in the coming months as layla worked as an assassin desmond's illegitimate son elijah miles is being used by the instruments of the first will a few years earlier he was captured by abstergo as his mother had him taken into one of their clinics only to discover he shared subject 17th dna and not just that he was a sight issabelle what brings you here i came to gloat actually look at this data a sage it gets better check his patrol in your line let's see patrilineal line 19th century american midwest century american revolution 16th century ottoman empire 15th century italian renaissance oh my god you don't mean yeah the best part his mother just walked him into one of your new clinics in new york city i'd really like to strip him for parts like we did with subject 17. oh no you don't you had your chance with the shroud this asset is mine and i won't be a party to the needless mutilation of a ten-year-old boy it's inhumane so what do you plan to do with him given his unique lineage i think we should put him into anonymous for the next 50 years think of the data we could extract that's terribly old-fashioned in any case we should send sigma team to recovery no i'm going to keep an eye on him now we'll collect him when the time is right in august 2018 the instruments broke into gramatica's lap forcing him to use elijah's dna to reincarnate juno into a human body and while this was successful the assassin charlotte and cruz pretty quickly killed her and then elijah presumably escaped into the australian desert yes the main antagonist of assassin's creed was killed in a comic you've probably never heard of by a character you've probably never heard of but it's okay because that year as an apology from ubisoft we got assassin's creed odyssey you'll have to be stronger than that in odyssey lyla is searching for more eso artifacts with the assassins and the one she's after is the spear of the anointers which for the record is capable of anything she just finds it at the start of the game cool but a wrench is thrown into the works right when there's two dna samples found on the spit so the animus this animus that's meant to be able to read damaged dna specifically instead of letting you relive either of the samples as it should working off a fixed history as the animus does creates two alternate timelines in which there are literally millions more alternate timelines because the dna is apparently too damaged despite the fact that shatters some of the first dialogue you ever hear in the series and no it's not too old because clay relives the memories of adam and eve which are 35 times older on a much more dated version of the animus this essentially destroys crucial law law that was embedded in the 10 commandments the series should follow a decade ago also make a game more marketable to a casual audience [ __ ] off long-time fans and what the franchise actually was all to have two hollow nothings poorly act and [ __ ] their way through ancient greece or while repeatedly saying malacca because that that's how you write a good character not like your choices have any consequence in the game even if they did the novel set to clear cannon in stone so unless you play the game very linearly you pick one character and emulate the book your choices are inaccurate and devalidated and if you do the game caters to every possible choice making the protagonist nothing and everything at the same time at the cost of what little narrative integrity this series had left like i meant for this video to be an objective timeline but at a point the series roying takes a total nosedive with odyssey being a notable example and i can't i can't just talk my way through this plot as if it makes any sense or is on the same tier as what came before like this game is just astoundingly mind-bogglingly schleiler later meets cassandra wearing a suit who is alive due to the effects of the staff of hermes which grants immortality to its wielder she tells layla that she is the one who will bring balance to the force and hands of this snaff dying in the process the last time we see lyla is in the fights of atlantis dlc where she's going to through atlantis by the isu alethia and she's seemingly corrupted by all that power killing her friend victoria and she later fighted off with otso berg who is now a greek mercenary npc apparently okay uh she presumably paralyzes him but it's it's like made a point of that he's still alive and that is pretty much where we're at i know what i see was a bit of a low point but van gaal's laid writer is derby mcdevitt can't sing his praises enough he's the best writer this series has ever seen he wrote revelations and black flag and embers as i said in the intro and that is the main thing that's got me hyped for valhalla because i know he'll knock it out the park at the very least there's some stuff i didn't include like stuff from the comics and the film but that's because this is purely a recap of the mainline story and there is tons of trans media and like a ton of stuff in assassin's creed really doesn't matter like the overarching story like there is a ridiculous amount to burn through but yeah anyway if you enjoyed maybe leave a like and if you didn't maybe let me know why thank you all for watching and i'll see you all next time in another assassin's creed video

Crazy. It’s been almost 13 years since the first game released

That video is just full of bias and hate on Origins and Odyssey. It's completely fine that he does not like them, but I was looking for a video that just recaps the story nicely to prepare for Valhalla. The video is good up until he reaches Origins story and then he just goes off the rails completely ranting and whining about how bad the games are. Just give me the story objectively without your personal opinion destroying the video. I mean he just glosses over Origin and Odyssey's story in a few minutes, and those are the two games that are most related to Valhalla.
