This Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Prologue is, of course, what you step into upon starting the game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
It’s a pretty large cutscene–or it’s large enough to be cut into sections–and also provides you with tips on how to play the game.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Prologue Guide
The battlefield
You’re immediately thrust into a cutscene that drops you into a battlefield.
There are on-screen hints to help you through this part and you have the option of completely taking your time to get to understand the combat system, in case you’re not used to it.
I thought once you get rid of all the captains, the actual “boss fight” cutscene will begin, but I had one guy fall off a cliff and it didn’t trigger, so maybe that’s not the case? You could probably just run to where he is and fight, whenever you’re ready.
Your abilities include:
- A: Bull Rush
- B: Spartan Kick
- X: Battle Cry of Ares
- Y: Ring of Chaos
Once you think you’re sufficient in combat, go to the warrior with a yellow marker on the right side of the battlefield, which will trigger a semi-boss battle.
KURUSH
- Battle Cry of Ares for more attack power and to take less fatal damage.
- Spartan Kick him off guard.
- Dodge when he glows red. (Longer dodges are more recommended than the simple rolls.)
Once the battle is over, in comes another cutscene that’ll allow you to choose your options. Note that you can always change these later in the main menu at any time after you’ve completed the prologue.
Choose Difficulty
- Easy: For players focusing on the story, or who are not very familiar with RPG mechanics.
- Normal: The standard experience for players who are familiar with RPG mechanics.
- Hard: For players looking for a challenge, who are also experts with RPG mechanics.
- Nightmare: You like pain–this’ll hurt. If you come out the other side, you’ll be a champion.
Choose Gameplay Mode
- Guided Mode: A more traditional experience. Markers are displayed at all times, and quest objectives are given to you automatically.
- Exploration Mode: A newer approach to playstyle. The user must investigate the world to uncover targets and quest objectives. This is the way Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is meant to be experienced.
Guided vs Exploration, which to choose?
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a game that has such a large open world, and by exploring that world, you’re rewarded. By choosing exploration, you’re saying that you don’t really want to be locked on target with your quests. You don’t want your hand held and you want to wander the world in search of things while completing quests on your own time.
With guided, you want a more direct experience. You want to know where the quests are and what you’re supposed to do with them. Exploring is kind of on the backburner, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore, obviously.
Choose Hero
- Alexios
- Kassandra
Personal preference for the character creation. Nothing major changes within the game, whichever one you do pick. But there will be minor changes throughout. Like whether you have a brother or a sister in the game.
I find that Kassandra has a better voice than Alexios, but it depends on you.
Plus, there are too many manly leads out there. I like female leads from time to time.
