Segment details
1:00–1:03 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_27build a stronghold hideout in this game,
Segment details
1:03–1:05 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_28and you're gonna be needing resources to
Segment details
1:06–1:08 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_29build those. And you get those mainly from
Segment details
1:08–1:10 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_30killing stuff and looting stuff like this.

1:14–1:16 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_32stronghold hideout. And then you do all
Segment details
1:17–1:19 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_33this stuff here, and then you just go
Segment details
1:19–1:20 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_34around the castle. And that's probably the
Segment details
1:21–1:22 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_35best way to level up in Assassin's Creed
Segment details
1:23–1:25 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_36Shadows. So then you run around here and
Segment details
1:25–1:27 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_37then you just kill the enemies. Look how
Segment details
1:28–1:29 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_38steep these stairs are. It's more like a
Segment details
1:29–1:31 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_39ladder than a staircase. And then you go
Segment details
1:32–1:35 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_40around here and then you can sneak around.
Segment details
1:35–1:38 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_41There's usually loads of enemies, uh,
Segment details
1:38–1:41 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_42apart from today, I guess it's their day

1:41–1:43 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_43off or something. And then you go around,
Segment details
1:43–1:45 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_44there's some over there, so we can do like
Segment details
1:45–1:48 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_45a stealth, stealth attack.
Segment details
1:48–1:51 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_46So when you're doing stealth attack, you
Segment details
1:52–1:53 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_47want to aim for the most dangerous enemy,
Segment details
1:54–1:55 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_48probably that samurai-looking guy here.
Segment details
1:56–1:57 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_49How do they not see me? And then you can
Segment details
1:58–2:01 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_50take out these unarmored guys
Segment details
2:02–2:03 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_51effortlessly,
Segment details
2:03–2:04 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_52like so.
Segment details
2:06–2:07 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_53Okay, kill this guy.
Segment details

Segment details
2:13–2:16 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_55So you just want to do that and grind and
Segment details
2:17–2:18 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_56grind and grind until you level up so you
Segment details
2:19–2:20 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_57get more of the abilities, because the
Segment details
2:21–2:22 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_58game's pretty good, but in the beginning
Segment details
2:23–2:24 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_59you don't really get many of the
Segment details
2:24–2:24 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_60abilities. So you gotta level up to get
Segment details
2:25–2:27 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_61the abilities. Oh,
Segment details
2:27–2:31 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_62there's loads over there. So what you
Segment details
2:31–2:34 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_63want to do is sneak up on them. And that's
Segment details
2:34–2:38 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_64level 7 guy, and that's level 5 guy.

Segment details
2:42–2:43 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_66actually, so we're gonna sneak around.
Segment details
2:43–2:47 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_67We want to kill as many as we can.
Segment details
2:47–2:49 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_68I assassinated the wrong guy.
Segment details
2:51–2:53 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_69Now it's 5 versus 1.
Segment details
2:57–2:59 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_70Just don't let them surround you.
Segment details
3:03–3:06 · rev_5b270d546f90064b3c909ac548c2fe0a_71That's one down.
