UPDATED AC1 Vaulting Tutorial

I have a lot better understanding of how vaults work now. I am proud of this guide. Vaults are caused by moving from one non-standing position to another while holding empty hand.

14 years later, I finally learned about vaulting in this game.

I love how lots of people are going back to the older games especially AC1

WICKED. Thank you so much for making this, I linked it in the Pinned Comment of the outdated vid I have on it. Absolutely brilliant.

Remember finding this out by accident and going "What the hell was that?", as well as jumping through those vendors stands in multiple ways.
Quite impressive how AC1 actually required a notion of it's mechanics to fully master them, like the hidden blade, it was the most OP weapon but only when used in the right way.

Awesome video! There is one more use of vaulting that’s worth mentioning. Pulling yourself up onto a ledge is also considered a “jump” by the game. Meaning, if there are little clothing racks or chimneys close to ledges, you can hold the necessary inputs to have Altaïr vault those immediately after getting up onto the ledge.

I just started playing AC1 and I'm blown away by the mechanics that I didn't knew were in the game, it seems that the first parkour system has a lot more depth and requires more precision and understanding of the environment

This video was very helpful, the vaulting mechanics make way more sense

1:36 Me as a NPC watching this video: I don't understand what he's trying to accomplish.

[johnmarston]

played it twice and 100synced it and still never knew you could vault

Bro I appreciate the Blood Money soundtrack in here. Jesper Kyd moment

"To make it smooth... Do it at an angle."
Truer words were never spoken, I can't imagine how much time you have spent testing different situations for this mechanic.

[fortunatesoul]

Very brief but comprehensive, I wasn't getting why Altair would just hang when I vaulted, keep up the good work

It’s cool I’m not the only one playing this game out of nostalgia and also because it’s just a better game than most. I’m not saying there aren’t good games being made today but this was from a less cynical era when big title games had a lot more artistic integrity and life in them. It’s amazing what this game achieved using more limited tech than the empty grindathons Assassin’s creed and other open world games have become

Dude, absolute legend. I found out about this yesterday and just have to learn it, I kinda miss how before you needed to have skill to traverse the terrain and perform aerial assassinations. Excellent video.

[brypleb]

cool mechanic wish it was included in the ezio trilogy

[ProrockRus]

Parkour in AC was always pretty stylish but that, damn. Thanks for guide, will try it

[Fafa_Sauce]

For the first time in like 7 years since i first got this game i can finally do it THANK YOU SO MUCH

[ellisclyde]

i have played this game since it first came out and never knew about this mechanic. it rlly shows the level of depth this game had especially for its time

[damanons]

Great job with this. Crazy how much tech that’s still being found in the older games

I can see from your choice of music that your a man of culture
