Assassin’s Creed Shadows: All Difficulty Settings Detailed

Diving into the world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can be both thrilling and challenging. The good news? You can tailor the game's difficulty to match your comfort level. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the difficulty settings in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Difficulty Levels Explained

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers four distinct difficulty levels, each designed to cater to different player preferences:

• Story: Perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the narrative without the stress of combat. Enemies are slow and less coordinated, making it easier to progress through the game.
• Forgiving: A slight step up from Story mode, where enemies still won’t overwhelm you, and Naoe is more effective in open combat.
• Normal: This is the default setting, requiring strategic gameplay. Naoe must rely on stealth, while Yasuke should tackle foes of similar strength.
• Expert: For seasoned players, this mode ramps up the challenge with more aggressive and damaging enemies. Stealth and gear upgrades become crucial for survival.

Difficulty Tuning

Beyond the basic settings, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* allows for further customization through Difficulty Tuning. Navigate to the Gameplay tab in the settings menu to adjust the difficulty for combat and stealth independently. This feature lets you enjoy the intensity of combat while easing the stealth elements if you prefer.

Additionally, you can enable Guaranteed Assassination, ensuring Naoe can take down enemies with a single strike, bypassing the need to upgrade her Assassin Mastery tree.

How to Change Difficulty

Adjusting the difficulty in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is straightforward. At any point in the game, access the menu, head to settings, and select the Gameplay tab. Here, you can tweak the difficulty to your liking and jump back into the action.
