But try to unlock those ASAP as they make a huge difference in combat especially against multiple enemies: Brush With Death (ESSENTIAL on Hard), Last Chance Healing (ditto), Stomp, Weapon Throw, Sprint Attack, Heavy Dual Wield, Advanced Assassination, Breakfall. Speaking of skill points, the skill tree is a MESS to navigate. You get skill points constantly, the game gives them like candy. I picked up a few, then looked up what they did, and they're just loot you trade for. On these particular maps, ignore all the Wealth/Treasure icons (gold icons). It's optional and very annoying, but ties into the ending. Most weapons and armours you already have are perfectly serviceable even on Hard mode.ДЄnother thing worth knowing: a bit later in the game (maybe 1/3rd into England I'd say, depending on how your Settlement advances), you will unlock a side map that feels unconnected to the main plot. You can honestly ignore other treasure (gold dots) unless you really want to or if it's already on your path. They can be quite useful and make combat much easier, especially if playing on Hard.

If you don't want to spend 80+ hours though I'd recommend just sticking to the Animus anomalies (again, assuming you care about the story, if not, skip those too lol) and ignoring all of the side-content, because the game is loooooooong even without side-stuff and there's nothing truly essential or meaningful outside of those.Дo seek out the Skill books (Wealth icons that turn into books, if you run into travelers or the map maker later, pay the fee to unlock them on your map). I did them because they were mildly fun and rare enough, but they also aren't important at all. They are caves you need to traverse with some easy exploration/platforming puzzles. If you dislike them though, don't bother. I found them moderately fun so I did them but all they yield is 1 skill point. Nothing that important, so if you hate them, it's fine to skip.

I found them amusing so I did them, they boost your Charisma (+ some silver), which sometimes unlock dialogue options. They are kind of annoying to fight, later ones are comically easy because Eivor is so OP, and I don't like killing beautiful animals just for the sake of killing them. They are boss fights and I am loathe to ignore boss fights so I did them. Out of all the mysteries, they are the only ones that matter for the story. If you care at all about the story, plot and/or lore, do them. They are platforming puzzles that tie into the modern-day/Isu story. The loot they give isn't very good though (access to a piece of equipment I ended up never using). I did them earlier than recommended so they were pretty challenging. Unique boss fights in East Anglia, one of the better fights really so I'd say those are worth doing. Offering altars, unless you already have the required offering already and you're nearby Boring and annoying puzzles IMO, waste of time. Fly Agaric (trippy mushrooms hallucinations). Super annoying puzzles that just yield 1 skill point and some flashback dialogue.

They are usually really stupid scenes full of meme humour or something equally cringy, and are a total waste of time. They invariably suck and are never, ever worth your time. World Events (the blue dot turns into a symbol that looks like those on this map). If you're near one of those dots you can can always investigate and see what the icon turns into, but I'd skip all of those: The glowing blue/teal dots are 'Mysteries' types of side-quests/points of interests but they vary wildly in how worth doing they really are most are trash and should be skipped. Focus your materials on upgrading that at first.

Upgrade your rations pouch as soon as you're able. A few times I visited some towns where there was seemingly no Fast Travel, only for me to unlock it much later by accident because I went near the docks. Click to shrink.Try to visit the 'port' side of each town you visit, if they are near a river.
