Assassin’s Creed Shadows Difficulty Levels Explained
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you have four distinct difficulty settings to choose from, tailored to different player preferences:
- Story: This mode is perfect for those who want to enjoy the narrative without the stress of combat. Enemies in Story mode react slowly and do not attack simultaneously, making it easy to overpower them.
- Forgiving: A slight step up from Story, Forgiving mode ensures enemies won’t gang up on you, and Naoe performs better in open combat situations.
- Normal: The default setting, Normal difficulty requires careful combat strategies. Naoe needs to rely on stealth, while Yasuke should focus on engaging enemies of similar strength.
- Expert: The toughest setting, Expert mode features aggressive enemies who hit harder. You'll need to be highly strategic, using stealth and keeping your gear upgraded to survive.
Difficulty Tuning
While the four difficulty levels cover a broad spectrum, Assassin’s Creed Shadows also offers further customization through Difficulty Tuning. Navigate to the Gameplay tab in the settings menu and select Difficulty Tuning to adjust combat and stealth difficulty independently. This feature lets you tailor the game to your strengths; for instance, if you enjoy combat but find stealth challenging, you can reduce the stealth difficulty.
Additionally, you can enable the Guaranteed Assassination option, allowing Naoe to perform one-hit assassinations on all enemies, bypassing the need to upgrade her Assassin Mastery tree.
How to Change Difficulty
Changing the difficulty in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is straightforward and can be done at any time. Simply access the menu, go to settings, and navigate to the Gameplay tab. Adjust the difficulty as needed and return to the game to continue your adventure with the new settings.
