Join me in taking on HARD MODE

After finishing AC3 a few weeks ago, I felt good. Happy with the game I played. But it wasn't very hard. So, with the help of r/assassinscreed, I created Hard Mode

The challenge is simple in premise. Complete the game (And any sidequests you want.) while following the coming conditions. Do this, post proof and you will forever be known as a master assassin. The rules are:

  • You mustn't miss more than one constraint in any mission you try to complete. If you complete a mission failing more than one constraint, you must complete it meeting this criteria before continuing to the next mission. This, of course, doesn't include the "beat all constraints in one play" constraint. You may miss one constraints and that one and still continue.

  • No swords. The only main weapons you are allowed to use are the tomahawk, hidden blades and fists. This does not hold true for the first sequences, before you get the tomahawk. You may use a sword during that time.

  • No upgrades of any kind. This includes new weapons, armor upgrades, capacity upgrades, and ship upgrades. The only thing you may buy is ammo.

  • No outfit of Captain Kidd, due to the Shard of Eden.

  • No fast travel. You will be tempted, but don't do it, unless you are forced to.

  • No recruits. You may still do the liberation mission and recruit them, but you may not use them.

  • And the kicker. No HUD. Period. No minimap, no health, nothing. Just you, Connor and the Euros in the corner that just won't go away. You may leave animus tips (think that's what they are called) up. As this has no effect on the gameplay. EDIT: This DOES extend to the ship HUD as well.

I will talk to the Mods and see if I can get anyone who completes this challenge a unique flair depicting their accomplishment. In the meantime, good luck.

Vittoria agli Assassini!
