Fun fact: Altair held the apple for decades and learned wisdom beyond measure and decided to make a glock. This detail shows that he's truly from the hood.

[AustinGamingXD]

Altair invented the mechanism that removed the need to cut of one’s ring finger. It’s called *STOP PUTTING YOUR FINGER IN FRONT OF THE DAMN BLADE*

[Ezeebo]

"Oh cool! So what alterations did you ma-"
" *G U N* "

[tomu]

That wasn't first time Bayek used hidden blade. He just couldn't move hand to right position at that moment as he was being drowned.

[mertdinc]

I dont know why they needed apple and codex for the second blade. Just double it and give it to the next person

[morganellit]

The last part is wrong, just wrong. The finger never needed to be cut off. Bayek used the blade before without cutting his finger but during the scene, he was struggling and couldn't pull his fingers back up because his fingers were held while he was trying to punch. The only reason they do it is because it shows devotion like a mark of the brotherhood. Which is actually cool when you remember that Ezio was devoted to the hood and didn't complain about the tradition when Da Vinci joked about it.

I hate how the later games butchered such a iconic weapon

[icephoenix]

I find it so funny that Altair needed the apple to learn how to put on two hidden blades

[kryptoknyght]

Removal of the ring finger was symbolic. Representing the sacrifices one makes for the greater good. The sacrifice Bayek made to ensure the elimination of his target was the catalyst of the tradition.

[BradSimkiss]

Didn’t really explain why they use them though

[angryfoxzd]

The hidden blade in AC syndicate might have been the most advanced version. It had poison darts, brass knuckle gloves, a grapple hook/zip line, and additional armor protection. The Swiss army knife of hidden blade gauntlets.

[Ray-pdff]

Connors hidden blad turned into a knife always liked that

[gpavl]

I know that Altair used the apple to modefy the hidden blade but did bro really need the help of the apple to think "hey imma put a blade on my right arm BAM dual hidden blades"

[wraith]

Love that Altair had to ponder an orb for decades to figure out he could use two of the thing he’d been using to murk people most of his life

[IshanKashyap]

Funny how the ring finger ritual became a thing because the first assassin recruit cut her finger to prove her devotion and loyalty to the cause despite Bayek's disapproval.

Its like everyone at the office staying late because one guy just wouldn't leave on time.

[MrCalie]

AC unity's hidden blade and it's upgrades are some of the reasons it is in my top 3 games over all.

[-carpet-]

Bayek intentionally chose to extend the blade sacrificing his finger in order to win the fight.

[Deestroying]

I love double hidden blades. Especially in black flag the combat was great

[azgerrr]

Wasn't da Vinci the one who made all these hidden blade alterations in AC2 and then Altaïr used the apple of Eden to see into the future or something? Because when Ezio recieved his hidden blade it was still made to cut off a finger but da Vinci modified it. He also added the gun

[elliottcrain]

Bayek was lucky not to lose all his fingers considering how his fist is clenched and that blade is wide AF
