I decided to come back to making gaming lore videos for fun, and to start with I want to cover as much Assassin's Creed stuff as I can. Im aiming for 1 a week and plan to just start with Assassin;s Creed, but I am interested in revamping things like my Resident Evil and MGS videos and such. This is going to be different though as I intend to hit ALL the extra media, so Novels, Comics, Extra Media and such. Let me know if your one of our old subscribers before we tried other ideas, Also if you are looking for the old videos, the Listcussions or the DND< they are unlisted. I'll leave the playlists, but I didnt want them visible if I just wanted to use my old channel for my own fun passion project.
Finally I found someone else saying the same thing I've been saying for years they also resemble the beings they talked about in Congress here recently.
@@kapnkarhoonch5497 it is so that i saw that from the first ones being that i had read up on the Annunaki myths for yrs before and even now with the newer games i see it more
I started AC properly with Irigins and had zero clue about any of this. You can imagine how much my mind was blown when I first went under the Sphinx and found the first ISU stuff. I literally had to stop playing. I spent the next few days hunting through Egypt trying to find out more about this story. I had no idea if it was ancient, future, different dimensions, aliens. My mind was blown.
They sure are. Totally took the ancient Sumerian creation story. With the next game taking place in Mesopotamia, maybe we will get an ISU origin story. One can hope at least
@@nimbusnimbus.IV. seeing the tomb of Gilgamesh like an Isu temple, or the Anunnaki pantheon represented with Ea, Damkina, Dumuzi like Isu maybe with Ishtar being Juno would be very accurate. Pretty much a little for present day Lore about Abstergo being the instigator of the Irak (Ur) invasion and taking over the Isu remmants pieces of Eden and Isu archives from the Golden Era. Now That's Something.🧞🪃
@@Sosa_freed i'm not talking about anime, i'm talking about the Mesopotamian mythology. Ea/Enki is the head/invisible force of Gilgamesh Epic, he sees Gilgamesh like a narcisist hybrid demi-god and he creates Enkidu to make him realize the value of responsability and friendship. So I think that Ea was the reason of Gilgamesh searching everlasting life in his journey. What If the "Me Tablets" where Isu tech, and If Ea was Jupiter or another Isu creating hybrids. And the "Athrahasis" where Enki saves Utnapishtim (Noah) from the Flood. Then Gilgamesh go to Utnapishtim to adquire knowlegde about inmortality, that was all influenced by Ea's decision making. So I think in the Lore that GOT Something to do, at least they wanted to overlook the primal inspiration of their franchise and lose one of their biggest opportunities to fix the lore, giving realism to the search of the Templars, and the mission of the Creed.
Single best AC lore video explaining the ISU aspect of the games, I lost my patience at around Odyssey, but seeing the new ISU lore around the last triligy, I think this is a very nice idea to follow, can't wait to check out your future deep dive videos. Becoming a huge AC fan again, no small thanks to your work! ( might even give another shot at the games to play/replay)
Thank you! I plan to dive into all aspects at this level, just working on the Book/Game comparison for Odyssey right now, almost done, then its off to the Valhalla Story for the games
Odyssey is one of the best AC games ever made. The Spartan Kick ability alone makes the game worth playing, not to mention the Isu DLC, and size of the game as a whole. I remember when AC games could be 100% within 30hrs. Odyssey has me at 180hrs. Way more bang for your buck.
@@monkeysk8er33Can't lie, I have 140 hours in Odyssey and 75% complete on achievements and completed the story and DLC story lines, Valhalla I honestly completed in a week, no sleep none stop played, was so zoned in I honestly didn't eat, drink or use the toilet, it was like the game was all I was focused on, Odin's spear is by far the most op weapon you can get but it's so wank you get it so late in the story and that's the only spoiler I will give for in case there's anyone who comes across this comment and hasn't completed it yet lol, felt the DLC's for Valhalla were lacking but honestly Odyssey's are so good, it got a bit repetitive with some missions but that's to be expected, every game has that if you play it enough hahah
@@Brendon-ox2tlYou don't gotta lie on the internet to impress people. There's no way, none, zero, nada, not happening, that you went an entire week without food, drink (especially), using the toilet (unless you still went but didn't use the toilet, gross.), or not sleep. I get exaggerations and hyperbole, but you're just lying.
Thanks for this video. As a non-gamer who only got into gaming last year to play the Arkham games, I was only aware of Assassin’s Creed as a game on the shelf that wasn’t Batman. Recently I got interested in the AC Black Flag title because of the pirate stuff, but I had no idea the AC series had all this lore. I tried watching some other videos explaining it but it was far too complicated. This video really helped get a good overview of what this series is all about…
Im so glad I could help! Hopefully you'll stick around and enjoy all of the other lore as I break it all down bit by bit, there is a LOT of lore with this series
I'm playing the Ezio Trilogy again on PS4 with the remaster it's been so much fun playing AC2 again and can't wait for Brotherhood and Revelation's. The voice actor to Ezio just got so much better as the next 2 games came out
Amazing video, man. Been playing AC since forever but the ISU lore got way too complicated for me. This video got me up to speed while waiting for Mirage!
The scary part to me is even before assassin's creed i thought that this was the case in real life and the "Elite" are hiding this truth from the world
You earned my subscription with this quality video as a big assassins creed fan since the beginning the story was fascinating the philosophy of this game was just something else but with all the commics and all different extra stuff its harder to understand everything about the story of the franchise and you do a excellent job in explaining those gaps in between
This absolutely made my day I honestly can't wait the Assassins creed franchise is one of my favorite it would also be cool if you did a deep dive into warframe
Ayyy, I can get behind this. The massive amount of Assassin's Creed lore can be daunting so kudos and good luck on your undertaking. I certainly look forward to it.
I'd love to see more franchise lore added onto this channel tekken, mk, dead space, last of us godamn there are to many to mention but yeah I'm looking forward to seeing what this channel brings us much love to you Andy Hudson Dan hey and sal also loved that you Rob managed to get a video out not long ago 🤞
Reminds me of book of Enoch. Instead of giant blue aliens (angels), we got the Isu. I always wondered what happened to Juno. I'm irritated they didn't conclude her story in the games
Came across this video to summarise what's been going on - LOVE IT. Thanks for this. Btw, if it's not already been suggested - I think the answer to 9:00 is the Mimir Well in Valhalla, isn't it?
Thanks for bing willing to cover the comics it acctually annoyed me that we didn’t get these answeres in the canes cos England where I live not huge for comics
As a long time subscriber. (To the point you still had those intros with the Batman image.) I must say that I really enjoyed this. And while the Isu storyline is confusing as hell, you definitely made it a bit easier to understand. Although it also feels like you skipped a bit with Minerva and Juno. Maybe something you could go a bit more in depth with in a future video? (Edited a spelling error) Loved this, and looking forward for more. Also, side note: Take a shot whenever Benny says Isu.
Juno in general is going to be an entire video, so her direct issues with Minerva will come up. Juno was the original plot for like 11 games, then 12 comics. So her story is something of its own. The purpose of this video was just to clarify the overall Isu plot itself, not all the little plots that came out of these goals. (Shroud, Valhalla, Staff, Juno, that kind of thing) Originally i was going to put it ALL into this one video, but the raw audio was reaching 35 minutes before we cleaned it up so I figured this is enough for one video lol
@@EligibleMonster Lol, it makes sense. Though a full 35 minute video of it all would be something I'd br interested in watching. But I'm sure I'm in the minority with that. Like the full on 4 hour long stories on Conicstorian. Great "podcast" material.
I'm new to Assassin's Creed, I really needed this because I was really confused about the Isu and the pieces of Eden. I started with Odyssey & played Valhalla too but I went back to play through it properly, I'm currently on Unity and I'm looking forward to Syndicate. So far Black Flag is my favourite then Odyssey as I really like Greek history.
WOW, great video man! I'm looking forward to your newer ones and one question I have is how is Eivor able to talk to Odin at the end where he proceeds to explain solar flares? I thought he was locked away in that machine located underground in Norway.
lol welcome back! (I assume you got a sub push) I'll be covering gaming lore here again. Its how my whole YT journey started and I missed doing it. Hope you enjoy!
I've always found it incredibly interesting that, relatively recently, we've gone around to different cultures, examined their entire mythos and seemingly looked for something we could call a dragon, and now dragons are everywhere lol. I love it though.
Your explanation was very good and you are the first one who to mention like there is many sections of isu I watched a couple of exploration videos about the precursor race but no one had mentioned the trio June or Jupiter, and manner of a lot better than you. You know in five minutes and also explained why there is mythology in the game.
Man much needed. I've played everything but Origins and Odyssey and I Absolutely love the lore in this series but definitely confusing. Can't wait to see future videos on this!
Thats....a lot. Wow. Thank you so much for this video, it explained many things and I cannot wait to see what Loki is going to do in th future. I'm still unsure if he is a villain, hero or some kind of anti-hero in this whole plot. We shall see.
I wondered what happened to the Juno plot line. I don't read comics so I'm pissed they did away with it so quietly. After Mirage, I thought Loki was the reincarnation of the sages. This whole lore is confusing AF. Thanks for straightening it out as best you can
I've personally never really liked the Isu or the Precursors. Seeing an idea of what History could have been like or the "why" something may have happened, when talking about the more supernatural parts of history, is generally interesting. But I generally feel that they take away from the game's scope when it comes to depth. It's a problem in a lot of titles when you can point at something and say "this is where it came from/ this is what caused it" and when dealing with the differing gods of the many cultures that have spanned Human History... it can really feel hollow and at times dismissive to have a "ah, this is the answer" for beings that were created to explain what was then, the unexplainable. Still, the video was really well done. Great job compiling and explaining a lot of the jumbled parts of the lore.
I like the whole deep lore rework thing that they are doing with origins and odyssey and valhalla. the fate of atlantis DLC was amazing i really like the concept of isu being the gods our ancestors worshipped.
its great that you like the new direction and rewrite of ac lore but i personably disagree. both gameplay and lore was relatively grounded in our own reality, and the isu was the answer and the "real" reason to why humans have historicaly been religous and believed in magic and the supernatural, and why people and leaders of the world have always strived for power. the departure from this in both gameplay and lore to have actual superpowers and the isu being gods or godlike beings takes away the feeling of what if that was OUR reality and deep philosofical and existential questions that the lore of ac provided.
My entry point to AC universe was Odyssey. Boy oh boy was I confused. Then I played Black Flag that got me even more confused (sage story). Ezio trilogy made it all clear for me.
AC Odyssey (specifically the fate of Atlantis DLC) Left me completely confused with the isu. I am so lost now that I'm tempted to drop the franchise, it was so much easier and more simple when I could just toss any plot holes into either the "the Animus is buggy" or "the isu were too advanced to understand" bins. Hopefully this video clears some of it up
Is this the comicstorian? great video very useful. I have one question though that I’m sure someone in the comments can answer but those scene with Odin at that table what are they from I’ve played all of the main game of Valhalla so I’m guessing one of the dlc?
Yknow this plot is a little bit like Halo. The assassins are the UNSC. Desmond and Layla are kinda like Spartans (their blood / lineage makes them the “chosen ones”) the isu are the fore runners, they have ancient hi tech artifacts and the templars are the covenant, they want to wield the artifacts of isu for their own benefit, or to their lesser counterparts, elevate them to heaven.
Wait a second!!! #1, I just found this channel. It's awesome, so thank you!! But!!!!! I've played all the games. How did I miss that Loki reincarnated as Basim??? What about the Sage from Black Flag??? Who is that???
Welcome to the channel! Ignore some of those older videos, they are slowly going to be removed as I improve and fix a bunch. But as for your Sage question, thats Juno's husband. I'll be making a video on the Sages and Resurrections soonish (I have the Daniel Cross story next week and wanted to explain the 6 Apples of Eden first) The Basim/Loki and Eivor/Odin resurrections are actually separate from the Sage resurrections though.
@@EligibleMonsterAre they tho (Asgard Sages)? We only know what Valhalla told us. For all we know, they could have been reborn before or even after. Their DNA was introduced into the human DNA gene pool so it is possible. All the Aita Sages only had the memories of ISU Aita, never the memories of their past human lives.
I did enjoy this video and I did agree with most of this stuff because if anybody played the games they would know these things. But I'm under the impression Loki is a human/isu hybrid and maybe so we're all of those other gods in Valhalla, but my thing is Desmond was still wasted because Layla joined him for absolutely no reason. I'm just mad at the writing of AC in Valhalla. The Staff had something special an they wasted it
I thought Mirage would really set up Loki and Aletheia as the new Isu antagonists of the games. A proper, fully attuned Sage, a disembodied voice that doesn’t have godlike power over the internet. I was so READY.
This story line is the truth about our creation as human beings. The 3 gods name was just changed. Alot of twist in story line but is still a stem of the truth. Its all coming from the Tablet of Thoth. The 3 gods were Enki, Enlil and Anu.
Man am I glad I stopped playing the games after 3 when Desmond died. I heard Black Flag was really good but I couldn't be arsed to keep investing. Considering Juno's story was relegated to comic and how crazy it got, I'm completely validated in that decision in my mind.
I highly suggest playing most of the games for the actual historical side of things. I own the entire franchise but never spent more than $50 on a game because I wait for it to be on sale. Specifically black flag was only $10 with the DLC recently, And most of the games can be bought for $20-$40 if you get lucky and find a bundle deal. Just ignore the Isu parts if they're really that much of a deal breaker for you (which is totally fair, I'm debating on dropping the franchise because of how confusing it all is getting)
Can someone explain Kassandra and why she’s immortal? I played odyssey but I literally could not care enough to pay attention. Same with Valhalla but I liked it enough to actually finish it, didn’t even recognize Kassandra at first in those few missions
@@solowingpixy2242 ok, didn’t know she turned to dust. I only played Valhalla’s main campaign, went back after a few months when there was a bunch of new content but I uninstalled like the next day bc I forgot how tedious it was. Thanks for the info brother!
@@Nutterbutter123 this was featured in the main storyline of Odyssey - Kassandra, with the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, is biologically immortal and manages to live up to modern day, where she (at the advice of the ISU Aletheia, whose consciousness resides within the Staff) hands over the Staff to Layla (the so-called Heir of Memories). Valhalla focuses more on the destruction of the 'Norse' ISU, their subsequent 'reincarnation' plan and Loki (an ISU) being awakened in modern day in the body of Basim Ibn Ishaq (kept in a state of dormancy in Yggdrasil).
It’s like CoD zombies lore. And tbh, after watching lore vids on them, I’m still confused. It’s like showing how to do division for the first time, I got it but it’s still 😬
If Minerva is Gunnlöd in Valhalla, then just maybe Odin was a bad guy really. They were definitely not nice, the Asgardian Isu. Which could make Basim an anti hero in Mirage. Morally ambiguous. I really hope so. I liked him a lot.
This is fn crazy ! How do they expect an average player to put it all together?! I have been playing AC from the begining and even with youtube videos like this explaining I can bearly put my mind around it. Jeez! 😒
@@morris9974 the thing is, it can be a simulation, but it can also be reality, like all previous AC, in the videos of Adam and eve we can see a futuristic city, and atlantis is like that, if you combine all of my points then it creates the question, is atlantis the real city of the issu?

The Isu lore is basically the Annunaki story. The Enumer Elish, and The Book of Enki.

This is basically the book of Enoch I imagine the writers had a massive influence but the likes of Zachariah Sitchin. The similarities are uncanny.

Please make more of these, I just played through the whole series over the past year or so, this helps a lot especially with the Juno plotline
Juno plot was the best part... to hell with the comic
My entry point to AC universe was Odyssey. Boy oh boy was I confused. Then I played Black Flag that got me even more confused (sage story). Ezio trilogy made it all clear for me.
The world was meant to end, and Desmond with the gang were to seek a new Earth to re-populate.
So there were the towers, digital uploading and reincarnation through the human geonome. What were the other attempts to survive the solar flare?
Also based on the Sumerian tablets of the annunaki
You’re doing god’s work my friend
One of the most interesting/ historical accurate video game franchises in history. Up there with GoW
“Time was, Assassins fought for peace, not freedom” ~ A dude who understands both ideologies.
AC Odyssey (specifically the fate of Atlantis DLC) Left me completely confused with the isu. I am so lost now that I'm tempted to drop the franchise, it was so much easier and more simple when I could just toss any plot holes into either the "the Animus is buggy" or "the isu were too advanced to understand" bins. Hopefully this video clears some of it up
Is this the comicstorian? great video very useful. I have one question though that I’m sure someone in the comments can answer but those scene with Odin at that table what are they from I’ve played all of the main game of Valhalla so I’m guessing one of the dlc?
This is Comicstorian and that's from the ending of the Odin storyline in the main game
Animus anomalies. Do them and you shall see
Yknow this plot is a little bit like Halo. The assassins are the UNSC. Desmond and Layla are kinda like Spartans (their blood / lineage makes them the “chosen ones”) the isu are the fore runners, they have ancient hi tech artifacts and the templars are the covenant, they want to wield the artifacts of isu for their own benefit, or to their lesser counterparts, elevate them to heaven.
Damn didn’t realize it was comicstorian till halfway through!!
Wait a second!!! #1, I just found this channel. It's awesome, so thank you!! But!!!!! I've played all the games. How did I miss that Loki reincarnated as Basim??? What about the Sage from Black Flag??? Who is that???
Welcome to the channel! Ignore some of those older videos, they are slowly going to be removed as I improve and fix a bunch. But as for your Sage question, thats Juno's husband. I'll be making a video on the Sages and Resurrections soonish (I have the Daniel Cross story next week and wanted to explain the 6 Apples of Eden first) The Basim/Loki and Eivor/Odin resurrections are actually separate from the Sage resurrections though.
@@EligibleMonsterAre they tho (Asgard Sages)? We only know what Valhalla told us. For all we know, they could have been reborn before or even after. Their DNA was introduced into the human DNA gene pool so it is possible. All the Aita Sages only had the memories of ISU Aita, never the memories of their past human lives.
I did enjoy this video and I did agree with most of this stuff because if anybody played the games they would know these things. But I'm under the impression Loki is a human/isu hybrid and maybe so we're all of those other gods in Valhalla, but my thing is Desmond was still wasted because Layla joined him for absolutely no reason. I'm just mad at the writing of AC in Valhalla. The Staff had something special an they wasted it
I hope it comes back around very soon, because I agree right now its just wasted.
Loki wasnt a half breed, he was just a different race of ISU.
If I can fall down the Metal Gear rabbit hole, I can fall down the Assassin’s Crees rabbit hole.
Yep, they're dropping bread crumbs
@@timothy8080 More like just Bread 🍞
I read elsewhere that the Templars were put in place by King Aelfred. He called himself Poor Soldier fellow of Christ, just like the Templars would
I thought Mirage would really set up Loki and Aletheia as the new Isu antagonists of the games. A proper, fully attuned Sage, a disembodied voice that doesn’t have godlike power over the internet. I was so READY.
This reminds me of Chuck Austen's Max take on Eternals.
Im eagerly waiting for the valhalla isu story since you said you were going to make it
Yep! Its my next Isu storyline since its the freshest in many peoples minds.
@@EligibleMonsterStill waiting............
Your not cringe for mispronouncing😂 it is a bit frustrating when a lot of things are said in game but that’s a lot to go through. Amazing vid
Woah found another comicstorian channel? Nice
“Humans weren’t supposed to be intelligent”
Shows footage of npcs glitching in a level.
Perfect.
Mirage brought plastic cutlery to the table and 2 40oz's. The 40s were just for Mirage.
I didn't know he had other channels just found this one (comic full story) is another
This story line is the truth about our creation as human beings. The 3 gods name was just changed. Alot of twist in story line but is still a stem of the truth. Its all coming from the Tablet of Thoth. The 3 gods were Enki, Enlil and Anu.
Humans weren’t created.
We evolved through natural, well understood processes. This is a work of fiction as are real world gods.
How did I randomly remember the name of this channel and decide to look it up just to see it's uploaded in the last 2 hours wtf
LOL Now thats funny
Man for the first 30 seconds I didnt recognize it was Benny from Comicstorian lmao
The annunaki
Can you explain the complete kenway saga?
Welcome back Eligible monster
My grandfather was a grandmaster mason and i can confirm there was some very very weird shit going on with them.
Welcome back
You too!
Whoa. It's been a minute
They took it straight from sumerian tablets like Enuma Elish and Arta-Hasis story of human and cosmical creation.
2:15 The history of the Isu all over the place. Well, the same can be said about the history of humans.
Man am I glad I stopped playing the games after 3 when Desmond died. I heard Black Flag was really good but I couldn't be arsed to keep investing. Considering Juno's story was relegated to comic and how crazy it got, I'm completely validated in that decision in my mind.
I highly suggest playing most of the games for the actual historical side of things. I own the entire franchise but never spent more than $50 on a game because I wait for it to be on sale. Specifically black flag was only $10 with the DLC recently, And most of the games can be bought for $20-$40 if you get lucky and find a bundle deal. Just ignore the Isu parts if they're really that much of a deal breaker for you (which is totally fair, I'm debating on dropping the franchise because of how confusing it all is getting)
Can someone explain Kassandra and why she’s immortal? I played odyssey but I literally could not care enough to pay attention. Same with Valhalla but I liked it enough to actually finish it, didn’t even recognize Kassandra at first in those few missions
Immortal because she had the staff of hermes as it's a piece of Eden and that's why when she let go she turned to dust
@@solowingpixy2242 ok, didn’t know she turned to dust. I only played Valhalla’s main campaign, went back after a few months when there was a bunch of new content but I uninstalled like the next day bc I forgot how tedious it was. Thanks for the info brother!
@@Nutterbutter123 this was featured in the main storyline of Odyssey - Kassandra, with the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, is biologically immortal and manages to live up to modern day, where she (at the advice of the ISU Aletheia, whose consciousness resides within the Staff) hands over the Staff to Layla (the so-called Heir of Memories).
Valhalla focuses more on the destruction of the 'Norse' ISU, their subsequent 'reincarnation' plan and Loki (an ISU) being awakened in modern day in the body of Basim Ibn Ishaq (kept in a state of dormancy in Yggdrasil).
More!!!
"Cringe" 😂😂 Benny you are the man
I acctually find it funny when people call u out for miss pronounceing something no one can pronounce lol
Can you do darksiders next?
Sir, Well. FKN. Done!
It’s like CoD zombies lore. And tbh, after watching lore vids on them, I’m still confused. It’s like showing how to do division for the first time, I got it but it’s still 😬
An excellent video, I do like the Isu lore quite so.
I played Black Flag and didn't realize that the John/Juno story had a resolution. I look forward to seeing you cover the comics.
So Loki/basim is the same sage from Black Flag ?
Will you also take a look at the old Nintendo DS games?
Yep Im looking at how to aquire them, or at least the footage and stories.
I woke up this morning repeatedly saying "Isu" to myself. I have not played AC since the Black Flag days. I searched and found this video 1st...
the isu reminds me of the forerunners from halo
or protheans from mass effect, everyone wants to succ the annunaki
Thank you so much for the explanation, I have always been a fan of AC but the isu got me confused and kinda got lost.
If Minerva is Gunnlöd in Valhalla, then just maybe Odin was a bad guy really. They were definitely not nice, the Asgardian Isu.
Which could make Basim an anti hero in Mirage. Morally ambiguous.
I really hope so. I liked him a lot.
The footage of Adam and Eve running at 7:08 ...which game is that from?
first assassins creed secret video iirc.
It was there in AC2
This is fn crazy ! How do they expect an average player to put it all together?!
I have been playing AC from the begining and even with youtube videos like this explaining I can bearly put my mind around it. Jeez! 😒
The ezio trilogy soundtrack is masterclass. Up there with other gaming OSTs.
Yes
Holy shit, you’re back!? That’s a nice surprise!!
I enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing.
They should make a movie series
Question, the expansion of atlantis on odessy was the actual past of the issu??
It was simulation created by alethia in order to teach Kassandra about the staff of Hermes.
@@morris9974 the thing is, it can be a simulation, but it can also be reality, like all previous AC, in the videos of Adam and eve we can see a futuristic city, and atlantis is like that, if you combine all of my points then it creates the question, is atlantis the real city of the issu?
@@redscul129 well in assassins creed lore it probably once was a city.
@@morris9974 lool, OBVIOUSLY was a city, but, was atlantis THE city
@@redscul129 the City of Adam and Eve? I don't think so
