Hey everyone, I’m new to the Assassin’s Creed series, having just jumped into Mirage as my first game. After playing a few missions, I decided to try out Valhalla at the same time. It wasn’t until Eivor receives her hidden blade and Basim shows off his that it clicked for me: all this time in Mirage, I thought Basim was just using his dagger for assassinations. I remembered him getting the hidden blade but didn’t realize he was using it the whole time! Has anyone else had a similar experience or is it just me being clueless?

Yeah, it can get pretty overwhelming with everything happening in the game. I remember spending a whole mission using just my bow and arrow and completely ignoring the hidden blade. Every game has its own mechanics, and it can be tough to keep track of everything, especially if you’re not familiar with the franchise!
Haha, wow, you really managed to forget it? I guess sometimes the game design can make the hidden blade feel less important. But if you’re coming in fresh, it makes sense! Just remember, it’s pretty much a classic weapon for assassins!
Man, I get it! The hidden blade is such an iconic part of Assassin’s Creed that you’d think it would stand out more. But honestly, when you’re new to the series, it’s easy to overlook things like that. I guess Basim really did flaunt it quite a bit in the cutscenes! So no shame in forgetting!
Right? I mean, I had the same thought when I first played. The hidden blade was basically a background character for me too when I first started!
Exactly! When you play the earlier games, it’s hard to forget the hidden blade, but for new players, it’s a whole new ball game.
