Assassin’s Creed Shadows [PS5] | Prologue & Humble Beginnings | [PLAYTHROUGH 1]
[Music] [Applause] [Music] Memories come to us in fragments. You within a jigsaw experiences and emotions. Some memories are soothing and familiar. Wrapped inside them, you feel tranquil, complacent. And then there are the ones I have reconstructed. What I am about to show you. In these memories, there are imperfections, aberrations that defy algorithm and biology. I’m getting ahead of myself. You may not understand what you’re seeing at first, but you must trust me. Trust yourself. Years ago, my journey started at sea. as it must for all who journey to these lands. A complex and precarious [Music] place at war with itself for centuries. From that chaos and bloodshed, my opportunity surfaced. in the form of the most powerful warlord their history had known Nounaga. A lord who took an interest in me. An outsider among [Music] outsiders. [Music] for the Baragano. You are expected to appear before Lord of Nounaga today. Thank you so much to be there. We are ready. [Music] Now I’ll hear you temple. [Music] Fore difficult. [Music] [Music] [Music] Aisha or Lord Oda Noinaga Lord will see you now. [Music] Lord Noaga commands that the man join you. But he is my swordbearer, a slave. He does not speak the language. Lord Nounaga commands it. [Music] [Music] The should father [Music] Lord Nounaga, I present to you Father Valagnano. Father Valagnano has come to request free movement for his priests in your lands. That is correct. Sir Ran Maru, you will address Lord Nounaga. Of course. Of course. Forgive me, Lord Nounaga. Please accept this gift. A European chair made by the finest artisans in Portugal. You may rise. You ask me to let your priests walk freely, but your priests are here already. Father Valikano, perhaps before you worry about your priest feet. You may wish to plead for their heads. Your black man has the instincts of a warrior. As he realized the danger you are in, his eyes found every threat in the room. I I am sorry, Lord Noonaga. He does not understand us. I would have many questions for this man. If only he understood. He is all the people of Kyoto speak about since his arrival. Lord Noonaga, I do understand you. [Music] Have you been deceiving me, Father Valignano? No, Lord Nounaga. Even I am surprised to hear Dieago speak like this. Your name is Dio? Yes, Lord Nounaga. That is what they call me. Lord Noaga would like to speak with Dooo alone. [Music] [Music] sit. [Music] Has your skin always been this way? Yes, Lord Noonaga. My homeland is very far from here. All the people there have this color. I had thought to kill you all. If the Christians were gone, it would be one less thing to consider. But they have proven fair traders and a bull work against the Buddhists. Luis Freysce amuses me. We’ve shared tea. But this Vigano I do not know. What are you to him do? I am like a bodyguard. I am to ensure he is safe in this land that is foreign to him. You are his bodyguard, but also his slave, are you not? Yes, Lord Noonaga, I am. Valyano will not be pleased that I kept you here. What do you think he will do with you? Kill you? I do not know. I have been subject to worse men and I yet live. These are worse men. Who are they? [Music] Father Valignano, I will grant you what you came for. Your priests are free to move in these lands. Thank you, Lord Nounaga. You will not. But your servant, Dio, stays, he may yet prove useful to me. Ah, very well. Though he is good for little more than bearing your sandals. Under me, sandalbearers become lords. I see potential in this man. A warrior whose spirit can inspire armies. He will be tested. He may become a legend or he may die. This memory is fractured. What was left? It trails off into infinite decimally smaller fragments. I’ll fast forward you to the next reassembled memory. One moment. The integrity of a memory can be tampered with. There are a variety of reasons. viruses, data corruption, environmental disturbance. But sometimes it’s because because she doesn’t want you to see them. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Hat. [Music] [Music] Villagers do not give up easily. [Applause] Holy God. [Music] Can you feel the breeze, Yasuke? It fans the total destruction of Ega. A most perfect night. Ready to finish them off? At your command, my lord. What is it? I’ve never fought a battle like this. So many lives. Ever the righteous man. While Eager calls its unifier a tyrant. 40,000 of our countrymen ride with me. Is that tyranny, Yuski? No. warrant his conviction. They trust in their future with you. Yes. And that belief makes you my samurai. Rebellion stands in the way of harmony. I ride with you. Go find Momo Sandou. His death will sever the sword from the hand of Ega. [Music] Light your fires. The wind will spread them. Arrows, fight yourselves. [Music] Fight for Lord Noana. Escape will not stop me. Stay still. He can’t avoid all upgrades. Here’s the [Applause] [Music] Incomun samurai are no match for egens. [Applause] [Music] Your armor is strong. I must break it. [Applause] One last door to get to [Music] I one-man [Music] [Music] army. Another memory just fine art particulate at this point. Listen carefully. Memories can be fractured, ignored, twisted, but what has been can never truly be lost. The past is power. Do you understand how the structural integrity of her memories is solid? There is much for you and her to discover. I wish you luck. Otherwise, this will be the last time we speak. Goodbye. for [Music] now. He comes We need a plan. Stewart, what do we do? We ride to Akuni’s shrine now. You’re not telling me everything. I can see it on your face. What was in Hati Hanzo’s letter? The world is at many wars now. E, not just the ones Odo Dodaga fights. Someone else is coming to Ega. Yes, but what they want from us, they cannot have. Then we won’t give it to them. No, we won’t. I know you cannot tell me everything, but I need your trust. You have it. Then tell me what to do. I can do it. I can help you. [Music] [Applause] Just Shut up. [Music] [Applause] 20 of them for every eaggan. They are not the only ones here. She gave it to you. So I could protect him if they came. What matters now is defeating Oda. All our forces pour in from every direction. The mountains, the tiger mouths, and I will meet them. There isn’t one we have pledged. We pray our oath to her and they died with her. [Music] Do what you must. I understand. [Music] Wait. My heart belongs to to you. My blood is eager. I will get you to Nidulo Castle. I’m coming with you. No, I need you elsewhere. [Music] Run to the mountain. The door will open to this blade. It’s a key. What? Inside the Kofoon is a box. Protect it with your life. It’s You said you wanted help. Now is the time. Cannot let Saiu stand alone. Show [Music] me. Go. I will meet you there. The valley the box it cannot be opened. It cannot be taken. Promise me bum. I promise. [Music] [Music] Focus. Get to the coffer. Don’t fail me now, Blade. [Applause] Follow me. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Yeah. [Music] Don’t stop. Just find the box. The coffin. [Music] Stew is counting Call me. [Music] [Music] You’re here. [Music] No. [Music] [Music] With this, we rewrite our history. Hurry, someone’s coming. [Music] Deli, [Music] I got you. [Music] It’s too You are alive. It’s rest my plum. I’ve got you. The box. I couldn’t stop him. I should not have put you there. My oath. So many secrets. The jewel. The box. Your mother. My mother. So much like her. Never saw her again. If we can just reach Tommy, there is hope. She will help [Music] us. Do it. I’m Tommyo. Your father brought you here. I’m surprised he made it in his condition. He fell into a dead sleep after dragging you in. There will be some hard days ahead, but he’ll live. You can sit up. How’s the rest of you? Nothing’s broken. I can move. I can fight. fight. I didn’t fix you up just so you can bleed again. I have to go. I lost something very important to my father. I must get it back. Lost what? I can’t tell you. Nagato has his secrets and I look the other way. It’s best for us both. You know my father well and my mother less well. I’ve lost too much time. I’ve got to go. Go. Go where? Do you even know where to start looking? Then help me. Tell me what you can. How did you come to lose this thing? There was a man in armor, a samurai. He came up behind me. I was careless. What did he look like? It was dark. He wore a mask. Many samurai dear. Can you describe it? It was pale like an unio. I think father grabbed it from him. It might be among Nagato’s things. I put them aside when I dressed his wounds. This is it. I’ve seen one like it years ago. What does it mean? Who is behind it? I’m not certain, but you should go to Katano. There’s a connection there. I’ll take my father’s horse. I could reach the castle tonight. And what will you do if you find your samurai? What I should have done at the tomb. Take his life and take back what’s ours. See that you do run. I’ll get the box and everything will be as it was. Everything will be all right. [Music] [Music] I should take Kitty. [Music] Datano right kitty. What is Chichi hiding? Kitty, what’s in the box? Yep. If Steu is willing to risk his life, I can do no less. I will not regret my mistakes, Kitty. I will fix them. That must be Katano Castle. The box thief will be somewhere he feels safe, a well-guarded place. They’re going, of course. My grappling hook will get me up there. [Music] There it is. That’s not the box they stole from me. I need to keep looking. [Music] You weren’t even there. Any progress? I’m going to update you. Someone else here. Chasing shadows. Still not the right box. The thief must have it with him. Find something. Nothing found yet. Why don’t you believe me? Oh, any progress? Found nothing yet. [Music] the way quickly. They’re coming forces. Do not delay. It is ours. We have waited for this night. He will reward me. But how greatly, I wonder. He’s there with the box. This is it. To get the box back, I have to kill him. I can do it with my grappling hook. other fight. [Music] I have to leave. Assassins among us. Where are you going? Stop. [Music] [Music] I can’t get you down. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] She can’t be Kakushiba. She’s just a child. She’s like a cat with a gold coin. She has no idea what she carries. [Music] What are you doing? It will be safe in Sakai. You will be safer with me. [Applause] Murder. That box is not for you. That is correct. It is for me. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] God [Music] My s you [Music] love. Yeah. [Music] The Kakushiba ends with you. [Music] Put them out of their misery. [Music] Your life’s work is undone tonight. [Music] No. Let them suffer. Let them die in pain. Fine. We have what we came for. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Stupid. I’m coming. Just do it. [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] I felt you. No. No. No. I kept too much from you. Now it dies with me. Stop talking like that. There is hope. Follow the blade. Do it. Do it. Remember the song in the music. We are together always do it. Do it. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] You stop. have to get back. What is this place? How did I get here? Did you Did you [Music] [Music] Morning Tur. Morning. The sun is nearly risen. You are late. Yesterday you were slow. Today we move faster. Hi Stew. [Music] Getting past me is the first challenge. What did I say? Faster. Let us begin. Don’t go easy on your father. Pretend I am your enemy. I did not teach I did not. I’m getting better. I am. Show me. You win this match and I will cook tonight. [Music] Deal. Yeah. Yeah. Ah, good. The posture, but always defend. I bet you win. For dinner, I want pickled radish and dried fish. Fine. I am ready to train with the others. to it. This training is enough. You have other obligations. I am the daughter of one of Egga’s greatest warriors. Don’t I have a reputation to uphold? You are also a daughter of Ega. That means caring for the people within. That’s what I’m asking to do. I want to protect them. The ego in the way is shared responsibility, community, and benevolence. You will bestow that upon Matsu today. Ah, Auntie Matzu again. Any day she needs you, you will help her or any of our neighbors. Yes, Jer. Auntie Matza kept me for hours yesterday. Clearing the wasp nest from her tree should have taught you to work quickly. I kept getting stung. No complaints. You know why we help our neighbors? Alone, we are nothing. But together the height of the great mountain is not made by one stone. Yes. To the rest of the country we eans are different people. So we must come together to form a mountain. This morning I feel like rubble. You are a pebble now. As my daughter, much is expected of you. The Fuji Bayashi name is a rock at the base of the mountain. I know she I’ll help auntie. Good. Do you know what she will give you in the return? Breakfast. So it’s not for nothing. You give and you receive. That is community. I have my own work to do. Be on your best behavior. I will. [Music] What will it be today on Timatu? Weeding the turnips, scrubbing your iron pot. I’ll find out just over the hill. Good morning, Auntie [Music] Mat. Smelled my miso brewing across the village, eh? Eggplant in Daiko. Your favorite, but not ready yet. Come later. My father said you needed my [Music] help. An old woman forgets. Let me help. Oh, these knees don’t bend like they used to. [Music] It’s the jewels of my land, my crops. I give them water, wish them well, and in the morning they disappear. Something wanders my yard. Beast or spirit, I am sure. Spirits, auntie, they are everywhere, you know, like nuts. But whatever it is, you will find it. I can always count on my Ni. Observation is the first step to victory. You need higher ground to find what haunts me. Climb the old tower. Tell me what you see. For a ball of your misosiru. Huh? Work first, then rewards. And lucky you, it will be my best one yet. I won’t let you down. [Music] I can see Matu’s crops from up there. [Music] It’s an animal. A deer. [Music] It’s all right. [Music] Don’t. Whoever did this will pay. [Music] Hey, that needs mine. Then why isn’t my hand? Someone made a fire and I hear voices. We should be on the road to Yamato already. Not until my belly is full. Eat. Who are you? Who wants to know? I do. We are innocent survivors from battle, starving and alone. You will turn us away. Now with their flimsy boans, you want [Music] We are good people. If you ask us, we will help. You’re eons. Dirty sneaks and hermits. That’s not true. We’ll ask for help next time if EGA still stands. Leave now. Make us in my [Music] Yeah, she’s not worth it. Go, go and stay out of EGA seat. Chew it. Nothing to worry about. I handled them just fine. But it sounds like something was following them to EG. Something big. Ah, just in time. [Music] So tell me, beast or spirit? Peasant Ashigaru from outside Ega. I fought them off. Of course you did. You’re a Fujibashi. How did they get in our village? My father says Ega is a locked door. What matters is that you chase them off. Eat. Good for the heart and the bones. Those soldiers, they spoke like something is coming. A battle. You are strong. You will meet trouble with courage and a full stomach. But you must do it without me. Why? My father said you were once a great fighter. That is long behind me. These days I am only good with a horo to chop vegetables. Don’t talk like that. Your spirit is young. My body is old now. Eh, it is tired. Soon I will venture up the mountain and never return happily. Well, as long as you’re around, I will take care of you. And when you can’t even use a hojo, you can live with me and my father. A generous soul like your mother. Oh, how proud Suyu would be to see who you are becoming. No way. My father doesn’t like to talk about her. He has his reasons. Forgive me. Eat more. Huh? They’re coming. The armies of Noaga. His son is at our borders. Noatsu. Ready to attack. I must meet them head on. You can’t let them reach the village. I’ll come with you. No. Protect Matsu. Stay quiet and safe. But I can fight. You do not know what you are asking to do. You are not ready. Trust me. Follow my instruction. Yes, do it. Wait for me. I will return. The peasant Ashigaru, they were warning. Sit, eat. [Music] I feel useless. Waiting is not useless. Like I say, observation is the key to victory. Or else we are carps on the slab. I shouldn’t have taken no for an answer. I should be beside my father right now fighting. He thinks I’m weak. No, no way. Yes, I’m done waiting. I want to help. I want to fight. So, let us go. You have kept your bravery dark behind your eyes so your father does not see it. Enough hiding. Enough hiding. I know just where to begin. Off we go. [Music] You’re awake. That’s good. Can you hear me? Understand me? Now I’ll ask you politely not to run away again. [Music] I can’t go anywhere. Not like this. Glad you have come to your senses. Have you ever seen a bone pierce its way through the skin? Not my own. Huh? If you were to take another stroll on that leg, I imagine you’d see it firsthand. It is a miracle you are alive, young one. I’m not that young. When you get to be my age, everyone is young. What is your name? You will be here for some time. I might as well know what to call you. Fijiashi now of EA. I am Saurin. The little one is Junjiro. And this place is Makino, a temple. or at least what is left of it. War’s shadow has darkened much in Setsu as in Higa. When you found me, did you is he? I am sorry. [Applause] [Music] [Music] you. You [Music] go ahead. I won’t bite. You You should eat more. Saurin says you’ll need your strength soon. [Music] Junior, fetch me a blade, would you? I believe it’s time we freed our guest from her splint. He’s strange. Gingiro, you hardly want to talk. You’ve been a ghost for weeks. Is he afraid of me? Should he be? No. No, of course not. Good. You should know it was Juniro who tended to you day and night. Juniro who kept a cross on your brow to break the fea. Is that when he painted all those portraits? The boy paints what he sees. Be kind to him. Now, he’s lost more than you know. [Music] Pain is expected, but you can walk. It will be some time before you’re at full strength, but you can walk toward it on your feet and maybe even help around the temple for once. What a thought. Ah, a knife. Thank you, Juniro. Wait, what? You said you know how my hands shake in the cold, Chingiro. I’ll leave you to it. [Music] Go on. I trust you. [Music] See, I don’t like handling knives. Are you sure I didn’t hurt you? Don’t worry. I’m tougher than I look. Really? What’s that supposed to mean? I I just meant because you’re Never mind. [Music] [Music] Where? Help me. [Music] No, wait. I was hoping. [Music] Did you do this, Ginger? I don’t I don’t paint like that anymore. Sording said you paint what you see. I’m sorry you had to see this. There are lots of beautiful things, too, if you know where to look. I can teach you. Let me get my brush. Good to be on my feet again, even with the ache. I wonder if I’ll ever be as strong as before. I wonder if it even matters. There’s a Tanuki over that way. Her name is Mikan. Mik. Why don’t you try sneaking up and sketching her? I feed her sometimes, even though Saurin tells me not to. Just remember, be quiet and move slow. You don’t want to startle her. You can do it. I need a closer look. I need to be quiet. Good view from here. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I mean, it looks mostly like a tanuki. You look mostly like a tanuki. You’re right. It’s not very good. Guess I’m not much of an artist, huh? It just takes practice, like anything. And you understand that. You play music. Why do you think [Music] that? Come on, I’ll show you. We found this where we found you. Open it. [Music] No way. [Music] [Music] [Music] Thank you for this. It has reminded me of something very important. What’s that? A [Music] promise. [Music] [Music] Fore speech. [Music] Oh, I love the rock. You don’t [Music] need [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music]
