Yeah Brush with Death is a hugely, hugely impactful skill and you should pretty much always have it for boss fights
Much as it was in AC Od.
I don't think he's talking about the slowdown on a perfect dodge skill, but slowdown when health is low skill.
...because what the game doesn't tell you is that it also makes pretty much all non-power, non-ranged attacks non-lethal as long as you have rations and health above 0 before the slow time effect ends.
I meant dodge slow. Last Chance Healing is the health slow down, also very very good, but not as useful as often as Brush With Death.
Finished the dream arc, way better than atlantis but suffered still from a bit of "this takes me away from the gameplay I enjoy a lot more." Also spoilers for a boss fight in the valka dream section.
Second form fenris can fuck all the way off.
Yeah I can say that when I first arrived I was so giddy with joy. But after a few hours there I was ready to be done. It's too vertical for my liking.
Holy fuck how do you kill crusaders? they seem basically invulnerable. i've gotten one down to 25% health, and there are three more wandering around nearby.
I fought one last night. They were power level 90 and I am 110. They wrecked my shit... Broke through my shield with just about every hit. Every melee I tried was blocked and stunned me.
I'm having trouble seeing the actual white dots themselves on the World menu map. Like in Lendonshire region I only see 4 blue dots left but the checklist has 4 blue and 2 whites remaining. Did a lot of zooming/panning/squinting to find the last artifacts on the menu map itself. They blend in quite well if it's on a bright part of the map in the middle of nowhere away from named areas.

unfortunately, synching with all the view points does not automatically reveal all the goodies, or at least artifacts, in the area. You'll have to do some on-foot exploring if you want to catch them all.
Good rule of thumb that has helped with me is to go to the closest zoom level and look for the small gold dots (which always shows up as long as the map area is revealed) with no Xs that represent bigger dots you've already gotten nearby. Pretty much every place with something to do has at least one small chest with loot in it, and they almost never bother to put them in places where there is nothing else to loot or do, so a lone or couple of small gold dots in the middle of nowhere with nothing else important looking nearby is usually a good indicator of something else being there.

Yeah the verticality much like it was in the atlantis dlcs is just an obnoxious as fuck design choice. Like I dunno who I have to talk to at ubisoft to get them to stop doing it, but please stop

Speaking of which: Someone on /r/speedrunning found an exploit to avoid fall damage. I've tested it several times and can confirm it works. I'll spoiler it just in case.
As you're falling wait until you're right next to the bottom (as close to the ground as possible) and press Pause. In the pause menu just start navigating through menus (go to inventory, click on your pack at the top right to open that and highlight around, go to the map again highlight some marks, press left on the dpad to open the main menu, go back, press right on the dpad to go to the store and go back.... And then close the pause screen and you'll have landed without taking any damage.
It's not fast but so far it's made it much easier for me.
Weirdly I don’t think I’ve ever actually suffered fatal falling damage so far, I thought I was the other day and instead I hit the ground and went to zero health, but was immediately able to heal and recover from it
So if you run into a bug with your tattoo person where she'll have a dialogue option and then you try and do any changing of your person and your screen blacks out? Close it, come back in, complete the dialogue walk away from her and then you can go in and get a tattoo or whatever.

I lost because I ran out of arrows.
Are you remembering to upgrade your quiver and rations pouch?
The shield templars you literally have to harpoon, arrow, and then parry. They were super hard and they are the early ones versus the later ones without shields.

Yeah I'm at the point where I need 4 cloths or something for my quiver and don't know where to find them.
If you have the skill to slow down time when you dodge an attack that helps a lot for shield zealots, because attacking during that slowdown staggers them for a couple hits. At least, it does for the dane axe i'm using.

Nah, just dodge their attack so you get the slow-mo, then hack the shit out of them.

I assume the later materials are gated in the higher level areas. I'm still in the level 20 zones and have only ever found carbon ingots as Treasure.

Also I just found a reference to portal, old jokes are the best jokes ubisoft!

I started seeing nickel ingots in East Anglia which is level 50. Still haven't seen any cloth yet.
Speaking of East Anglia, the third quest fight
the interaction between Finnr and Eivor made it seem like the fix was in so I let Oswald win. It gave me some dialogue about how they might make a king out of Oswald yet. Did anyone beat him? Curious if there's any difference in the post fight dialogue
Edit: fixed the region because apparently if I don't have the map open I have no idea where I'm at
I started seeing nickel ingots in East Umbria which is level 50. Still haven't seen any cloth yet.

I beat him. He gets up and the fight continues, three times. After that they tell him to stay down, and that the important part wasn't winning it was that he faced the challenge with all the strength he had.

East Anglia I believe is where you are at.
I beat his ass bloody I lose to no one. I recall them mentioning he didn't give up, but he was still a wimp.

I just didn't see any benefit to lying to him, given what they'd be up against.

Ha oh man just ran across a great tribute in Essexe spoilers for a mystery quest.
You run a cross a dude named keith who just wants to play music but he's harrangued by a bishop you have to "Smack" to get them to play music. So you have to smack the bishop... DO YOU GET THIS REFERENCE?!?

Just select the dot with A and it puts a way point marker on it for you.
On the map, that is.
