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

4. Break Down Weapons To Get Crafting Components MUCH Faster Than Hunting

Though the hunting in ACO is fun enough as you run in spear a'flailing, it's much faster (and far less risky) to just break down your weapons and outfits instead.

Doing so grants huge amounts of soft and hard leather, alongside timber and every other major foundational component.

From here you can use these pieces to improve your hidden blade, chest-piece and arrow quiver, alongside base melee damage. All are essential if you want to stand a chance against over-levelled enemies, and with the main mission thread having one hell of a pace once you get going, your attacks need to hit hard.
