Assassin's Creed Origins: 10 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

5. The Benefit To Passing Time (Using "Dusk & Dawn")

In case you didn't realise through playing (again, the game surfaces hardly any of its mechanics as part of a decent tutorial), every NPC in the game has a routine, not unlike a Bethesda RPG.

As such, targets might go to sleep, mission-givers will relocate and move around - and best of all, unlocking the Dawn & Dusk perk means you can control this manually.

Once it's yours, hold the Touch Pad/Change View/Back button and time will jump ahead to either midday or the beginning of night.

That person you're tracking is perhaps now far more vulnerable, with guard patterns changing and high-level enemies retiring elsewhere, allowing for the perfect kill.
