Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Witcher-osity can’t be downplayed. If you’ve been wearing a hidden blade since 2008, you’ll be happy with the current order, but if 2018 was your first AC experience, Kassandra and Alexios will be teetering on the pinnacle of open world adventures. For now, it’s best to make sure you’re earning as much experience as possible for using the most common tools in the Assassin’s playbook.Your ranking of AC Odyssey depends on when you experienced the series for the first time. In this crucial early stage, try not to get tempted by the cooler looking abilities that your skill tree has to offer you can always nab them later.


Do the math, and you can see how they can work in tandem with ‘Assassination XP’ to net you far more experience than before.

After that, try and focus on abilities that can cater to those three perks in particular.įor instance, ‘Chain Assassination’ lets you kill two people in one foul swoop while ‘Assassination Streak XP’ gives you more XP for every consecutive stealth kill. The ‘Assassination XP’, ‘Headshot XP’, and ‘Tool Kill XP’ perks all give you more experience for every assassination, headshot and tool use respectively, so make sure you get them before anything else. You can tell it does, because certain perks and abilities found in Bayek’s skill tree are designed to help speed up the levelling process, all of which can be acquired from very early on in the game for only a single ability point each.

Instead, bring up your map and move to another region with level recommendations that suit your Bayek’s current progress, and if you think you’re good enough, you could even head somewhere that’s a few levels above you, where XP will be even more abundant. Don’t complete every single side quest or point of interest in an area if they were designed to be played two or three levels ago, as the XP you receive will be far less substantial than those from higher level missions. If you’re on the hunt for healthy heapings of XP, you should only focus on pursuing objectives with level recommendations that are either at or above your current level. That side quest tip comes with a few strings attached, though.
