The setting of Assassin's Creed Origins is older than any Assassin's Creed to date, but there's lots of new cool stuff to do. We've played a sizeable chunk of the game's open world and are here to report back on the six coolest things we've done so far. Subscribe to Outside Xbox for more Assassin's Creed Origins gameplay! http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
First off: raiding tombs. In another little known history fact, Pyramids weren’t just built to look cool, sometimes they had dead bodies inside them as well. I know, right? Gross.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is set in the Ptolemaic period, around the year 49 BC, over two thousand years ago. That’s about two and a half thousand years after the majority of the pyramids were built, so these imposing triangley structures are as ancient to Bayek as he is to us.
Taking that into consideration, it seems entirely fair for us to break in and loot everything that isn’t 1. nailed down, or 2. a canopic jar full of old pharaoh guts.
Pyramids in Assassin’s Creed Origins serve as optional side missions, similar to the assassin’s tombs of previous games. These pyramids mostly offer a puzzle or acrobatic skill test for you to beat, and they are also guarded by evil spirits, where by evil spirits we mean evil spiders.
And once you’re done raiding a pyramid, it would frankly be rude not to climb all the way up to the capstone and do what we’ve all dreamed about doing since we first saw a pyramid: slide all the way down it. Just watch out for crocodiles at the bottom, those things are everywhere.
