For long-time fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, the thrill of scaling heights is part of the experience. However, players may sometimes plunge from precarious positions without a soft landing in sight. To mitigate fall damage, gamers have the opportunity to acquire a valuable mastery skill from Naoe’s Shinobi skill tree, known as the Igan Roll. Unlocking this skill not only enhances gameplay but also rewards players with the “Sometimes”trophy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
How to Unlock the Igan Roll Ability for Naoe in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
If you find yourself frequently navigating tall structures in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it’s crucial to prioritize unlocking the Igan Roll ability for Naoe. To do so, access the Shinobi skill tree and invest one mastery point in the Igan Roll, located on the far right.
This particular landing roll skill is exclusive to Naoe; players won’t find it suitable for Yasuke, who is less agile and not equipped for high-altitude excursions.
To unlock the Igan Roll, players must achieve a Knowledge Rank of 2. If you’re still at the game’s early stages, consider advancing your Knowledge Rank by engaging in various side activities marked with an orange hexagon. These activities consist of:
- Hidden Trails
- Temples
- Shrines
- Kuji-Kiri
- Horse Archery
- Kata
- Kofun
By completing these side tasks, you can earn 1 Knowledge Point for each task accomplished. Accumulating sufficient Knowledge Points will elevate your Knowledge Rank, paving the way for unlocking the Igan Roll ability.
After acquiring the Igan Roll skill, test it out by finding a high location and executing a jump. As you descend, make sure to hold the “dodge”button. This will prompt Naoe to roll upon landing, effectively breaking her fall. For reference, the controls are as follows: “B”on Xbox, “O”on PlayStation, and “ALT”on PC keyboards.
Once you successfully perform the roll, a notification will appear on your screen confirming that you have unlocked the “Sometimes”trophy. Congratulations! You’ve not only gained this invaluable skill but also moved one step closer to completing your trophy collection in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
