Knockout doesn't work?

[Z0ckt]

why I can't knock down the opponents in Assassin's Creed Oddyssey? It's set to E according to the key assignment, and yet I only get the option to stab enemies with a knife using the F key within range of the enemy. Is something broken or faulty? Key E does not work.

Usually I don't have any problems with the controls in games, but Assassins Creed and I, that's a trio in itself... I'm just at the beginning. Could it be that I have to unlock it first?

I'm new to Assassins Creed. I still have to get used to it.

It's a campaign mission?

[15543641354361]

yes, you can't miss it, if you want spoil i can tell you.

[Z0ckt]

Yeah, that would be great if you could tell me. I have now stolen the obsidian eye and killed the newcomers.

You will still need alot of Assassin power to have it work well on harder enemies.

It becomes an available ability once you get the ship, right?

You just have to get someone's health down to near zero then knock them out. You can also sneak up on them and you should get a prompt to do an incapacitating knockout. But, if they're too high a level, you will have to either Vanish and try again, or continue to knock away their health down to zero to recruit them once you're out of combat.

the ship yes, it's barnabas who ask you to recruit a man or a pirate don't remember on a small island just after you leave the beginning island with the boat.
the guy is supposed to stay alive so you need to knock him. then skill is unlocked.

Yes, it was the recruiting mission. Now it works. :)
