00:08Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're counting down our picks for the coolest
00:13weapons in the Assassin's Creed series. Mild endgame spoilers ahead, so proceed caution.
00:23Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring
00:29the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:33Bonesickle Assassin's Creed Valhalla
00:41Assassin's Creed Valhalla brought us fully into the Viking fantasy, with a heavier and
00:46stronger protagonist than we're used to. Eivor is brutal, and the weapons we get to use are
00:52more than fitting. The Wrath of the Druids DLC would introduce a whole new type of weapons
00:57for us, with Sickles.
01:06The Bonesickle is so visually striking, and it's a perfectly macabre weapon for the setting
01:12you play in. Of course, it'd be nothing without its moveset, which is awesome to say the least.
01:17You get this grim weapon by defeating the legendary Black Stout, Inconate.
01:30Kusarigama
01:31Assassin's Creed Shadows
01:32Who's there?
01:33Ah!
01:35You!
01:37Taking a massive step up in combat systems, Assassin's Creed Shadows perfected the formula used since Origins.
01:44Outside of being a full-blown assassin, Noah gets to use a weapon we've all wanted for years in an
01:49Assassin's Creed game, the Kusarigama.
01:58It's the de facto ninja shinobi weapon, and it's done in the best possible way. It feels a little difficult
02:04to use at first, but it quickly turns super smooth.
02:07You don't start with it though, and will have to loot your own on your adventures. It's a brutal, fluid,
02:14and versatile weapon.
02:15Apple of Eden
02:16Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
02:22The Apple of Eden has always been especially interesting, given its portrayal and use in the first game.
02:29Though simply a plot device, these pieces of Eden are employed multiple times throughout the game's narratives, without the player
02:35themselves being able to use the items.
02:38Until... Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
02:47We get a mission where Ezio takes the Apple into his own hands, and uses it to escape the Vatican.
02:53All these elite enemies that gave us trouble before, drop like it's nothing against the Apple.
02:59It was a unique mission that hasn't been replicated since, and it's great to finally use a piece of Eden.
03:12Thor's hammer, Mjolnir
03:13Assassin's Creed Valhalla
03:24So, Assassin's Creed Valhalla got us playing a dark of Viking fantasy.
03:28But what really ties the whole experience together, is how in touch the game is with the mysticism of the
03:34Vikings, and their mythology.
03:37If there's one thing players would have wanted to see in this game, it'd be Mjolnir. And sure enough, we
03:43got it.
03:51This powerful lightning hammer can be found in Norway after obtaining all of Thor's armor pieces.
03:57And, you get a little cutscene upon picking it up. It's one of the most powerful weapons in the game
04:03too.
04:12Rope Dart
04:13Assassin's Creed 3
04:18It's time to look at one of the most underrated weapons in the series, the Rope Dart.
04:23This Chinese weapon was first introduced into the Brotherhood by the Assassin, Xiao Jun.
04:28But, our first time using it is in Assassin's Creed 3.
04:31Although, thanks to the popularity of the weapon, it'd become a semi-mainstay in future games.
04:36Even having an ability assigned to it in Valhalla.
04:45In AC3, we're gifted it by Achilles, on Connor's journey into Assassinhood.
04:51While Connor has some brutal finishers, it's hard to top the Rope Dart ones.
04:56One of the many plans given to us by Xiao Yun to...
05:01Sorry.
05:02The Spear of Leonidas, Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
05:06What?
05:08Huh?
05:09Oh!
05:12By the time Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes place, the Hidden Blade had not yet been invented.
05:17Never mind the founding of the Assassin Brotherhood.
05:20Darius is active, but neither Alexios nor Cassandra is an Assassin, in the sense of the order.
05:26Instead, we have the Broken Spear of Leonidas.
05:30But I have to check.
05:37It's a piece of Eden that was used by King Leonidas of Sparta.
05:41And now, it's been passed down to us.
05:43It's partially thanks to this thing that we're so strong in AC Odyssey.
05:59Excalibur, Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
06:12If you know anything about Arthurian legend or watch enough anime, or perhaps you just know the Sword and the
06:18Stone, then you know the legend of Excalibur.
06:21But, in Assassin's Creed, Excalibur is a piece of Eden created by the Isu scientist, Hephaestus.
06:36We're actually able to visit Hephaestus' workshop in Odyssey, so it feels like a neat little crossover.
06:43But that aside, Excalibur is such an awesome weapon.
06:47AC Valhalla would feel like it's missing something without it, especially considering that we explore England.
07:02Tomahawk, Assassin's Creed 3.
07:11Connor was undeniably given some of the coolest weaponry and combat animations.
07:17His weapon of choice, a Tomahawk, is not just any random axe, but one with thematic revelance, and a body
07:24that's shaped like the Assassin logo.
07:26The Tomahawk's combat animation is utterly visceral and brutal.
07:39Combined with his pivot blade, you have one of the coolest, if not THE coolest, weapon combos the series has
07:45to offer.
07:46While Eivor also knows how to handle an axe, it's not quite as impressive.
07:58The Sword of Altaïr, Farius.
08:05Even legendary weapons like Excalibur don't amount to the same epicness that is acquiring Altaïr's sword.
08:12It's a thin, sleek blade that feels like you've obtained the ultimate weapon to rule them all.
08:17In terms of the weapons in AC2 and Brotherhood, it might as well be the strongest.
08:22It was obtainable in most of the prior games up to Rogue, where you can dig it up from having
08:26buried at Portlet Joy.
08:35How exactly the sword ended up in the North Atlantic is a mystery, but with that said,
08:40Altaïr truly does have the greatest sword in the series.
08:50The Hidden Blade, Farius.
08:58We all know there's been one important weapon missing in this video.
09:03And it's the Hidden Blade.
09:05The Hidden Blade is definitely the most underrated weapon in the whole series.
09:09It's the weapon that makes up the core identity of the whole franchise, and it's been recreated or attempted to
09:15have been recreated in real life a hundred times.
09:23The idea of it is so cool, too.
09:27It's easy to scoff at and take it for granted, but the Hidden Blade truly made the series what it
09:32is today.
09:33It's a personal, discreet, and cool weapon that really embodies the assassin fantasy the game set out to give you.
09:47Which Assassin's Creed weapon is your favorite?
09:50If you know one cooler than the Hidden Blade, tell us down below.
10:11Death Blade.
10:13This is The Hidden Blade.
10:15I'll see you next time.
10:15I'll see you soon.
10:16The Hidden Blade.
10:19The Hidden Blade.
10:20The Hidden Blade.
10:21I'll see you soon.
10:21The Hidden Blade.
