Yes, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s hidden blade can instantly kill – review

At the announcement, we suspected that the hidden blade in Assassin’s creed valhalla will again be able to kill enemies with one blow, as it was in the “classic parts”.
Now this was confirmed by the creative project manager Ashraf Ismail.

According to the developer, Avor will receive a weapon early enough, having learned with the help of the correct technique and timings to kill any enemy with one blow. Apparently, for instant killings, you still have to learn some kind of skill.

It is worth recalling that the developers also partially get rid of the levels of enemies: they will still have a normal level, however, the outcome of the battle will be dictated by the ability of the player and character

For fans of older Assassin’s Creed, this detail can be very important: they criticized “The origins“And”Odyssey“For moving away from the traditions of the series, including the inability to kill many enemies with one blow. In the Odyssey, the protagonist did not have a hidden blade at all.

In addition, Ismail once again confirmed that social stealth will return to Valhalla: the player will be able to hide in the crowd – in the original Assassin’s creed it was almost the main feature of the series, which was thrown in the antique parts.

But many may ask a logical question: how can the leader of the Vikings mix with the British? Ismail is still secreting on this topic, only promising some unusual approach to mechanics.

The idea is that the Norwegian or the Viking do not want to be there. They want to stay incognito and try not to stand out from the crowd.
