Assassin’s Creed Rogue Beginners Guide – Hunt Assassins In Style

Assassin’s Creed Rogue is a weird entry in the Assassin’s Creed series since it lets you play as a templar instead of an assassin. Here, you play as Shay Cormac, an assassin turned Templar out for vengeance after being betrayed by his brotherhood. 

Therefore, to ensure that revenue is served cold, read this Assassin’s Creed Rogue beginners guide to start the gamer in the best way possible. After all, killing highly trained assassins and pirates is not exactly an easy thing to do. 

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Tips And Tricks

To become a pro templar and assassin hunter in an assassins creed game, here are some of the things you need to know:

Hunt With The Eye Of An Eagle

The Eagle Vision is one of the most interesting additions that made the entire Assassin’s Creed franchise unique. The eagle vision allows you to enter a trance-like state that allows you to see through walls, covers, and more.

In this Assassin’s Creed Rogue beginners guide, you play as a Templar instead of an assassin. Therefore, you will constantly be hunted by assassins, who will be hiding in the shadows. This is where the eagle vision comes in handy, revealing enemies close to you, including assassins hiding in the hay.

In addition, it reveals the location of various enemies and items in the world. Therefore, before you enter an area. This allows you to use the eagle vision to scout the area ahead and plan your stealthy backstabs accordingly.

Meet My New Best Friend – The Air Rifle

One of the best additions to this game is the Air Rifle. This is a gun that you can lock and load with different types of ammo. Each ammo has different functions, which you can switch anytime and strategize accordingly to serve your grand plan.

The air rifle has three types of ammo that you can use in Assassin’s Creed Rogue. They are:

• Poison Darts: As the name suggests, these are poisonous bullets that can be fired from your air rifle. It allows you to kill an enemy with one dart, irrespective of their size. I would recommend using this only on stronger enemies, and not waste ammo on lesser grunts and guards.

• Rope Darts: Inspired by the grappling hook from Assassin’s Creed Revelations, the rope dart functions in a very similar way. You can shoot a rope with a hook letting you climb up elevated places like rooftops and tree branches. In addition, you can also aim this at enemies and pull them closer for a gut stab, or pull them to their death from the ledge below them.

• Berzerker Darts: Confusing enemies and forcing them to slaughter their own brothers in a fit of rage is a satisfying scene indeed. Use this dart at the strongest enemy in a group, and see the tides of battle turn in your favor. Just sneak past all enemies and kill the remaining survivors in clean (or brutal) ways as you seem fit.

• Firecrackers: These are by far my personal favorite distraction tool in Assassin’s Creed Rogue. This tool allows you to create a flash of blinding light that stuns enemies temporarily for a few seconds. In these few seconds, you can easily pick off enemies one by one as they are too stunned to scream also.

Your Secondary Weapons Are Important Too

Besides your primary weapons like swords, hidden blades, and air rifles, you have an assortment of secondary tools as well. However, two of them are pretty useful throughout the entirety of Assassin’s Creed Rogue – smoke bombs and the throwing knives.

The smoke bomb is an essential piece of equipment that you can use both offensively and defensively. When on the offense, use it to disorient enemies caught in the smoke and backstab them one by one. Sneaky, deadly, and precise.

Defensively, you can use it to run from powerful enemies (and assassins) and escape from them to gain some distance.

The second secondary weapon is the throwing knife. Cormac is pretty affluent with these weapons, and so will you have to be too. When using these knives, you have to ensure that you aim at the upper body of lonely enemies to kill them in one hit. 

Mortar Enemy Ships

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered has retained the excellent naval combat from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag.

Here, you control the sloop of war The Morrigan. While it is a smaller and thinner ship for navigating the seas faster. However, it’s still as deadly as Kenway’s The Jackdaw from AC4 Black Flag. 

When you engage in naval fights, position yourself relative to the enemy ships and use your cannons and mortars. They will be easily able to sink a hole into the ships and drown them faster. 

Go Hunting For Parts

An interesting mechanic introduced in AC Rogue is the option to craft equipment from animal parts. While this was supposed to be introduced in Assassin’s Creed III, it finally saw its release here on Assassin’s Creed Rogue beginners guide.

Here, you can hunt for animals, assassins, and almost anyway who gets in your path. Therefore whenever you see a corpse in front of you that resulted due to your actions, loot them for parts. Use these parts to create bullets, darts, and lots more.

Keep Your Raids On

As a templar, you get to be as evil as you want and raid all enemy ships and fortresses. As you explore the Assassin’s Creed Rogue map, you get to see many enemy fortresses, assassin bases, warehouses, and lots more.

Using your wits and equipment that you have, it’s best to raid these places as soon as possible. This will help you get a lot of loot from the chaos, making you richer and deadlier in the process.

Upgrade The Morrigan As Much As Possible

As the captain of the Morrigan, you must treat it like your own child. Therefore, to make sure it’s safe and is able to stand up against other mean ships, upgrade it while you can. 

There are a lot of upgrades available for the Morrigan in the Assassin’s Creed Rogue beginners guide. This includes upgrading its ballistic power in the form of cannons and mortars. You can also upgrade its defensive power in the form of upgrading its hull, broadsides, and armor. 

Some of the most important upgrades are the storage, heavy shot weapons, broadsides, and mortars. Save your fire barrels and harpoons for the end since they are not exactly essential for naval combat.

You need to upgrade your ships, use your air rifle, and call out your eagle vision at the right time to prevent being backstabbed by assassins. Also, ensure that you know how to use smoke bombs and throwing knives to ensure that you are best prepared for all fights.
