20 Biggest WTF Moments In Assassin's Creed History
15. That First Leap Of Faith (Assassin's Creed)
It's 2007, and you've just taken you're first leap of faith in Assassin's Creed. It looked incredible; it was exhilarating, seemingly plummeting to your death only to somehow survive, because of a bale of hay. Yeah. It doesn't really make much sense when you think about it.
The jump itself is at least a few hundred feet, so how exactly are you still walking around on legs that aren't mangled to pieces?
It's a wonderful moment, don't get me wrong. Masyaf has been surrounded by enemies, and Al Mualim commands you to ascend a nearby watchtower, and essentially commit suicide. You aren't told about the plan right away, so it is a genuinely unnerving scenario.
There's even a guy to your left who botches the jump, cracking his leg open in the process, and making the whole thing seem somewhat legit. It might even take you a few minutes to really appreciate how utterly implausible everything about the jump truly is.
