The Animal Taming skill allows you to tame wild beasts from the environment, recruiting them to fight by your side. The Seer skill tree offers perhaps the most useful ability - if not, at least, the coolest. In the Warrior path, the Overpower Chain Throw skill lets you use a felled enemy's weapon to damage another target, and the Adrenaline 2 ability ensures that you always begin combat encounters with a full Overpower charge. Bow Fury and Chain Assassination are also excellent choices, as the first allows you to take a few seconds of slow-motion aiming after a stealthy bow kill, and Chain allows you the opportunity to eliminate pairs of guards instead of just one. In the Hunter tree, you'll want to unlock the Enhanced Predator Bow skill, which allows you to control the direction of a Predator arrow so you can guide it to the most effective target.

There are a few skills that will be incredibly useful later in the game, and you'll want to make sure you don't miss these helpful abilities. If you're more geared towards the 'loud' approach, the Arrow Retriever skill will allow you to replenish your ammo reserves while you fight, and the Fire Bomb skill (which requires you to unlock Dawn & Dusk, a helpful power in its own right) allows you to create area-of-effect damage pools that will be super effective for clearing camps and groups of enemies. If you tend to stick to stealth as opposed to direct confrontation, the Headshot XP and Assassination XP skills will be helpful for gaining levels. Parry allows you not only to deflect many types of incoming attack, but also create a helpful opening that allows you to counter-attack and deal heavy damage to your opponent.īeyond those two, your unlock path will depend somewhat on your preferred playstyle. Regeneration allows you to regain health in combat, which is an invaluable skill to have - though the regen rate isn't incredibly fast, so you'll still need to create distance between yourself and your enemies to regain health.

To that end, the first two skills we recommend unlocking are Regeneration and Parry, both in the Warrior skill tree. As you gain your first few levels with Bayek, it's important to focus on skills that will help you avoid death.
