Assassin’s Creed: Origins was the first game in the AC timeline to completely overhaul the combat system, and without it, we wouldn’t have Odyssey or Valhalla. And, we also wouldn’t have had Bayek of Siwa or Aya of Alexandria, two of the most charismatic assassins in history, and the original two founders of the Hidden Order. Arno had Eagle Pulse. Origins has Animus Pulse, a function of the Animus, not of Bayek. And there is no evidence in Origins that Bayek has a telepathic connection to Senu. That's pure conjecture based on a spinoff comic about a different and unrelated character entirely . GreekHole •. In Assassin’s Creed: Origins Bayek obtained the weapon known as Hercules’ Gladius in the Egyptian city of Heraklion. Hercules doesn’t just have connections in Odyssey and Origins but to Ercole Massimo from Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood , this could potentially mean the some of the planned DLC for Odyssey will date even further back. Assassin’s Creed got a soft reboot with Origins last year, and that’s how we all came to know and love Bayek. The Siwan Medjay murdered his way into our hearts, but since this year’s Odyssey But he could have been more. For what it’s worth, he was a good vessel for exploring the world of Assassin’s Creed. 6. Bayek of Siwa. This is going to annoy a lot of people. Bayek is a very good character and I like him a lot, but I just prefer other Assassin’s Creed protagonists. The story of him helping found the Assassin Brotherhood is The beginning of the end starts with Bayek and Aya standing on a beach with Aya preparing to set sail to Rome to kill Septimius and Caesar, and finally complete her (and Bayek’s) cycle of vengeance. Bayek may not hear the words, but the players can: THIS is the challenge issued by the First Civilization, with the Isu Armor the prize awaiting the one to complete it. To do it, players will need to solve each of the twelve Stone Circle puzzles scattered across the world, marked on this scale model by the pointed black rocks. Bayek (IMO) was the first AC protagonist to feel like a real person and as much as I love Ezio, he always felt like he was just a video game character. Your not wrong, and it’s not an unpopular opinion, Bayek of Siwa IS the best AC character. Bayek was the most effective Assassin (maybe tied with Amunet) specially because he did everything by himself, unlike most others who had help/training from the Brotherhood. What's even more funny is that Eivor as a non-Assassin ended up probably being the person who did the most damage to the OOTA. Sam Cawley. Bayek from Assassin’s Creed Origins is being hailed by fans as the best protagonist in the series, closely followed by Ezio. Now I’m aware that might be a tough pill to swallow, given how Ezio Auditore is essentially the poster child for the Assassin’s Creed series with several “peak” games under his belt. DzVL.
