It says its in the Pantheon set of quests. Not sure if you have to do all 9 missions to get the last one, or just do the 3 mission area 3 times.

how do I get all the hidden cockade/artifact/chest icons to appear on the map? doing tower syncs unveils a bunch but not all of them
You can unlock them in the eshop with Helix Points. You should have some free ones after linking your account to uplay iirc.
My gear was aimed more towards items (phantom blades, smoke bombs, potions and lockpicks being my main priority) while health upgrades let you take a couple of shots. Most of the legendary gear cover both anyways. Once you take phantom blade or stealth kill all the rooftop snipers you can just bulldog your way through everything.
Real talk; this is one of the best Assassin's Creed games in the series. By and large, the main mission design is leaps and bounds better than it has ever been (although there a still a few duds) and even the side content is well-fleshed out and meaningful (barring the awful collectibles gated behind some dumb app I will never play). The addition of stealth mechanics and interiors makes a huge difference.
The story is a tiny bit flat, but the historical backdrop is terrific and the characters are spot on. Arno may be Ezio 2.0, but Ezio was an archetype anyway, so who cares - it works.
The visuals are, on the whole, amazing, and playing offline the performance on PS4 was fine for me. The worst sections appeared in the first couple of sequences, but after that, play seemed relatively smooth throughout.
I also love that they stripped away a lot of the bloat. No more gondolas, ships, horses, wanted posters, Brotherhood mechanics, tower defense, bandit and courtesan guilds, tower defense, bomb-making, or any of that other extraneous crap.
The game is obviously rushed, and could have used a few extra months of polish, but on the whole this is a really solid game and I don't get the hate.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So...I did all this, opened ports, and enabled DMZ for the static IP I set up on PS4 (and my NAT type even changed from 3 to 2) and...still can't connect in Unity.
What now...
I have read that it's either/or.
Either you open ports OR enable DMZ. Not both. Apparently they don't play nice together? So I;ve read anyway. Idk... I recommend trying just the DMZ and see where that gets you.
And make sure you do a power cycle after it's set up.

Ah wonderful, thanks. Now I can go find it.
legendary gear things you buy or unlock?
Are there 'tomb' equivalents in this game with some ultimate set of stuff?

this sync kill trophy is going to be impossible. I have not played one co op game where the rest of the people dont just sprint into everybody and start a huge fight, and I have almost played them all

Luxembourg palace. I think it is north east of Notre Dame, I forget.
edit: beaten
Huh. I accidentally got a quad sync-kill on my first coop mission.

So is the only way it is possible to purchase all the Skills is to do all the co-op missions? Or are there other ways to earn sync points (aside from the main campaign, obviously)?

I honestly dont think I have gotten one sync kill so far.

I really like the way the game presented that to me: in the middle of something, an assassin walks up and whispers 'Someone needs your help'. You press a button, a wham, you're in a club member's coop.
Cool stuff.
I think the stair icons in 'Heads Will Roll' are misplaced, the actual descents are further along the corridors.
I JUST realised you can use the companion app as a quick reference for the map on your lap! Let's see how it holds up tracking the player.
-Not bad!
Everything else about it sucks of course.
Anyway, I'd love a less obtrusive health bar perhaps in the bottom left, near the mini-map in-game. The bright blue default one in the top left is huge and stands out so much against the beautiful game. I can disable it but it's pretty vital.

haha. Literally just got all 10 sync kills in one game. Finally a competent team.
That's pretty cool. Does the game do that every time a club member starts a co op mission?
I don't get what your issue is. Do you have one equipped? It should be on the bar you switch between blades.
Fantastical
Death Prophet
Did my first co-op mission. It was pretty fun, but it's kinda bullshit they put so many sync points behind co-op missions.
Hm, okay... I'll try either or.
Also, just to make sure, you're the one that added me on PSN, right? Same name, but you never know.
If so, I'll talk to you on PSN soon (just doing some homework) and see if we/I can get this to work. I want to play co-op Have you bought a pistol? They are equipped in the gear selection screen. When you have one you should be able to press Left on the D-pad to equip it.
You can also set waypoints by tap and holding.

looks like u might have to do all nomad missions and get the artifacts locked behind the app to fully 100% sync this game. They are both listed under the progress tracker, which adds up the 100%. Considering the artifacts are hidden behind the final locations in the app, this will take weeks

why does my phone say the app isn't compatible, but the ubisoft website says it is?
Hold LB to bring up the aim mode, aim, and RT to shoot. You can quick fire on an enemy when you are focused on them. Has anyone seen a good sniper in coop yet? I can play a good stealth character and a good tank. Most people are either stealth or something random online. I have only seen one player so far who has been good rifler.
I'm really early in the game, but are the side quests also not visible after syncing, or is it just the collectibles? Also, are the bars denoting how much stealth, health, etc. you have just showing your level because of the modifiers, or are there separate stats besides the modifiers?

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Did you get the ranged weapon skill from the ranged skill tree?
I know many people have been calling for AC to be harder combat-wise for so long but fuck me do I miss the killstreaks and brutality of Connor/Edward's fighting styles. Or "auto-win" if you wanna be accurate.
Pulling this off in Black Flag is the most satisfying shit ever:
I do appreciate what they're trying to do though but yeah, I miss the old fighting styles.

Damn, there's a lot of stuff to keep track of. Kind of annoying.
coming off of assassins creed 3 and Black Flag, does this combat seem super janky and slow?
Say what you want about assassins 3 but the combat animations were fantastic, possibly even better than 4 since they suffered from less clipping. Black Flags combat was super fun, quick, and satisfying.
I just got past the intro and I know I still have a ton to go, but yeah. Am I alone thinking it is super slow and unsatisfying?

Somewhat. No more long canned counter kill animations is nice, but the core weapon combos are still pretty sluggish. I don't get why ubisoft can't figure that out yet.
Give them a platinum game and make AC sword combat 1/4 as good and I'll be thrilled.
Beat it earlier. Arno is a great character but man I want to play as Elise. I would say the story in this is quite good. I like the customization and the murder mysteries. I hated the whole Nostradamus riddle solving bullshit. I dislike the fact that I will have to replay coop missions to get the better gear if you don't get it the first time around. Arno sometimes (in my experience it's 80% of the time) doesn't want to go where you want him to. Going to cover sometimes doesn't respond. Out of all the games I played this year, this one has giving me a ton of headaches. I can't barely play half an hour before my head is pounding. The game needed some more time to be optimized. I enjoyed my experience but I don't see myself returning back to Paris. Overall, I agree with all the 7 scores the media has given it.

i still can't do CO-OP missions on PS4. the timer just keep counting up forever and nothing happens. is this Ubisoft problem or are people playing it?
NAT is type2 and I have DMZ'd the console
Edit: also, is there a way to stop that timer after I initiate it? because it locks out the fast travel feature and I have to reboot the game to get rid of it.
