Can we explore the pyramids of Giza in this game?

Wife got up early today as Wal-Mart had some of their BF stuff (online only) starting last night.
She grabbed me the game ( 29.99 )

Re: Assassin's Creed: Origins

What's the biggest difference in level that I can take out a Phylake?

If I'm an 18, could I take down a 20?

Update: no.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Origins

I finished up the story last night. A bit disjointed in the end and not enough build up for some characters.

I have a bunch of map clearing to do, but I might take a break with Wolfenstein before I start that process.

The world and gameplay are awesome. The side quests were overall fantastic doing a great job of fleshing out the world and it's greater conflicts. The main missions felt uneven and relatively shallow for the themes and story it was weaving.

The majority of the game rests on the shoulders of Bayek as he treks across Egypt on his path of vengeance. Thankfully he is well developed and is easy to identify with thanks to his personality.

Bayek, the gameplay, and world more than makeup for a ho hum main story.

Update: still REALLY difficult at Level 20.

Depends on the Phylake to be honest. Some are harder than others. One thing to consider is trying to engage them without other guards around. I had a hell of a time taking down a few of them cause halfway through the fight a patrol of guards would join in.

Best tip is getting a predator bow and headshotting the phylake a few times before he gets to you. You can usually take 1/3 to 1/2 of their health that way. Between that and the ability to enter combat with full adrenaline for the free overpower on them right away, they got significantly easier as I went. Even the ones that were level 40 were pretty easy when I hit 40 myself.

I went after the Level 20 Phylake (The Outsider) as soon as I reached Level 20, and he destroyed me.

I recommend making sure your melee damage, long rang damage and armor is ranked pretty high. I personally didn't start going after them until I was in my 30s. To be honest their level is misleading. They fight more like a gladiator boss then a regular enemy. So even though it might say 20, in reality I would put their skill level closer to 25.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Origins

Am I the only who cleared out the gladiator arena in Cyrenne or what ever you call it in the northwest part of the map ? Come on guys get to it. If you want a challenge, that arena is a MF'ng challenge.

I cleared the first "boss" then focused on getting the Isu armor then cleared out the Phylakes. Plan on heading back to clear that out now that I'm 40.

The first few I engaged were in areas where I had access to a crossbow and just peppered them until they were dead or near dead.

The last one I defeated I was on my horse and just shot him with arrows and then came at him with my strongest weapon.

How hard are these trials for the armor? I’ve been kinda ignoring them. I’m lvl 30 now.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Origins

Where are these trials?

Yesterday I spent a couple hours going after Phylakes, defeating Sobek, and doing random side activities.

I'm still amazed at the game world. I was wandering in the Qatar depression region yesterday on my way to one of the papyrus treasures and the expanse of nothing was impressive.

.

As far as I know they just pop up on the map when they are active. Look for a blue waypoint. I had one on there when I was playing earlier.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Origins

Are they the timed trials for the animus glitches?

If so I did the Sobek one yesterday, but missed the first one since I was only in the 20s.
