Hidden Blade in New game Plus

[slayer0527]

Ubisoft - I just tried the boost and saw that it give access to hidden blade before the player gets to alexandria. Why the players are not given access to hidden blade from the start in NG+? Last time I started NG+, i did have access to it till i trigerred that quest in alexandria.

IMHO mate, its has to do with the mandatory quest to meet aya; thus giving bayek the ability to assassinate. sad;y cannot be used at the beginning but is permanently upgraded/transferred after obtaining from non NG+.

according to the story:

Aya showed Bayek a royal papyrus with the Snake's emblem, linking the Ptolemic Court to the Order. Aya attained this intelligence from Apollodorus who, on behalf of Cleopatra, had spies tracking the Order. Bayek was not trusting toward Cleopatra due to her ousting, but decided to trust Aya's judgement. Aya entrusted one of the two relic "HIDDEN BLADES", that belonged to the Persian proto-Assassin "Darius", to Bayek to assassinate the last member of the order, whom they believe to be The Snake, who killed Khemu. Due to her assassination of Actaeon and Ktesos, Aya was pursued by the Phylakitai of Alexandria, Gennadios, entrusting Bayek with the task eliminate him as well.
