The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its expansive open-world exploration, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this tradition. If you're considering using the Guided Exploration mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here's what you should know.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained
Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in many *Assassin’s Creed* titles, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always marked on your map, guiding you directly to where you need to go and preventing you from getting lost.
Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage more deeply with the game's world, using clues and information to track down NPCs or uncover your next steps. For example, if you're on a quest to find a specific character, you'll have to rely on your detective skills to piece together their whereabouts or search for additional clues to guide you to your objective.
Guided Exploration mode simplifies this process by immediately providing the location of your next objective, eliminating the need for extensive investigation.
Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?
The decision to use Guided Exploration mode is entirely personal. In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the investigative elements may not significantly enhance the gameplay experience for everyone. If your primary interest is in enjoying the story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration could be beneficial.
How to Turn On Guided Exploration
Activating Guided Exploration is straightforward. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and select the Gameplay section. Here, you can toggle Guided Exploration mode on or off at any time, allowing you to switch between a guided and a more exploratory experience as you see fit.
