Introduction:

 

Welcome to Ryse: Son of Rome a swords and sandles epic tale of betrayal, revenge and divine intervention. You step into the greaves of Marius Titus, a young Roman soldier fighting for family and the honor of Rome. Developed by Crytek it's expectedly gorgeous and among the best looking Xbox One launch titles. The Hack 'n' Slash combat is easy to pick up but surprisingly more difficult to master, which you will need to do to some extent to make it through the game on Legendary.

 

Walkthrough:

 

Step one - Story: First thing is first you're going to want to jump into the story mode where you will be picking up the majority of the achievements. A minimum of two playthroughs are required for the completion, your first can be on any difficulty as the difficulty achievements will stack. Completing the game once will unlock Legendary for your second run. Playing through the story once at the Centurion difficulty level will net you 19 achievements for 580:gsicon::

 

  • To Protect And Serve
  • I Have A Story To Tell
  • Forever Lost
  • I Will Avenge You, Father
  • Saving Private Marius
  • Who's That Girl
  • Trouble In Sherwood Forest
  • The Bigger They Are
  • Heart Of Darkness
  • Inner Demons
  • Siege Me If You Can
  • From The Dead
  • Never Give Up, Never Surrender
  • Ave, Caesar
  • Not My Type After All
  • Settling Old Debts
  • Veni, Vidi, Vici
  • Empire Of Dirt
  • Bad To The Bone

 

A Second playthrough on Legendary will net you a measly 40:gsicon: and the achievements:

 

  • I Have A Story To Tell (Legendary)
  • I Will Avenge You, Father(Legendary)
  • Saving Private Marius (Legendary)
  • Trouble In Sherwood Forest (Legendary)
  • Heart of Darkness (Legendary)
  • Siege Me If You Can (Legendary)
  • Ave, Caesar(Legendary)
  • Settling Old Debts (Legendary)

 

**WARNING: Although the achievements themselves don't appear to be glitched, the game seems to have trouble recognizing when you are selecting 'Legendary' difficulty for some people. To be sure you are playing on Legendary as soon as you start Chapter I check to see what your base execution bonus number is, for Legendary it should be '0'.**

 

During these playthroughs there are also a number of misc. achievements you will want to be working on, along with the collectibles, take a look at the relevant sections of the guide for more information on those.

 

Step 2 - Multiplayer: This is where you will be spending the majority of your time if you are going for the full 1000:gsicon:. The achievements aren't too hard to come by and most will come naturally on your way to level 100, which will take a fair amount of time. Check the relevant section of the guide for some multiplayer leveling tips. NOTE: Only 3 of the 12 MP achievements need to be done with another player, the rest can be accomplished in the 'Solo' playlist.

 

Step 3 - Mop Up: If you are still missing any of those misc. achievements or collectible you can just go to 'Timeline' and choose any level to replay on whichever difficulty you want, making mop up a fairly easy endevour.

 

Conclusion

 

Ryse is a fun, albeit fairly short game, like most of the launch titles the achievements aren't that taxing and pretty enjoyable to obtain. Just have fun, enjoy the eye candy and welcome in the next gen with style.

I Have A Story To Tell (Legendary) 5:gsicon:

Complete The Beginning On Legendary Difficulty

 

Story related, cannot be missed.

 

This achievement will be unlocked by completing chapter I on Legendary Difficulty.

 

Legendary difficulty is unlocked after completing the story. Some notes and tips to completing the game on Legendary:

 

 

  • Parry and evade are essential, the enemies hit much harder so you can't just eat blows like you can on the lower levels. Also health regain is vastly reduced.
  • Heavy attacks are your best friend on the bigger enemies. A heavy attack is performed by holding either http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/xbut.png or http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/ybut.png and will stagger them, even if they are mid swing, and you can follow up with a couple of sword strikes before moving onto another enemy or just rolling back and repeating.
  • Unblockable attacks no longer have the red highlight on your attacker, including bosses, so you need to get a feel for the animations so you can either time a perfect parry or get out of the way.
  • Your base execution bonus is zero. This means that, unlike the lower levels where you can miss a button press and still receive your base bonus, if you miss a single press during your executions you get nothing.
  • Stick with the Health execution bonus, the minor damage bonus is not worth giving up the extra health from your executions, especially when regular hits take off an entire health capsule and heavy ones a capsule and a half.
  • Try to make every execution count, even if you have to slow down your presses to soldier hits, having the lowest bonus is better than having nothing.
  • Plumes are your friend, try to keep a good stock of them as much as you can. During combat the quick throw, http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/lb.png + http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/rb.png, will set up standard enemies for instant executions and disarm the shielded enemies.

Misc Achievements

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/headexe.jpg

Head Executioner 10:gsicon:

Perform 100 Executions in Any Game Mode

 

This will come easily over your first playthrough, just remember to hit http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/rt.png to execute the enemy when you see the skull icon appear above their heads.

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/doubleUL.jpg

Double-Down 10:gsicon:

Perform 50 Double Executions in Any Game Mode

 

This is a little more difficult than the 100 regular executions, but still should come easily over your two playthroughs. The best way to set these up is to attack one enemy until you see the execution symbol then quickly switch to another enemy. Once you have hit him a few times and you see the execution symbol pop up wait for both of them to get in close to you and hit http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/rt.png to start the double execution.

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/comboing.jpg

Comboing My Way Through 20:gsicon:

Defeat 10 Enemies In A Row Without Sustaining Any Damage

 

See 'Monstrum Combo'

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/monstrumUL.jpg

Monstrum Combo 20:gsicon:

Defeat 25 Enemies In A Row Without Sustaining Damage

 

This, along with 'Comboing My Way Through' can be a little more annoying than they sound. There is no indication that an enemy is about to strike you other than the animation. Which is difficult to spot if they are coming up from behind you or you are surrounded and the camera angle is tight. Think the Arkham games on NG+.

 

The best place to unlock this in the MP Arena mode, load up a solo game on Courtyard and choose Mars as your God for a damage boost and start the match. Fight through the 'Warm Up' and wait for the next section to start. The one you want to be looking for is 'Use the oil cauldrons to destroy the bunkers'. Don't bother taking out the bunkers yet and don't worry about getting hit by the initial wave, it has some harder enemy types in there so it's not easy to get through it unscathed. If you can manage it then it will make the next bit a little shorter but it doesn't really matter. Once the initial wave is toast two enemies will continuously spawn from the two bunkers. They are minions and can be killed in 2 hits, just keep on taking out these easy enemies until you have your 25. You can also do this if you end up getting 'Take out the archers' or 'Destroy the catapults', it just takes a little more time. For the archers you will need to go hide behind one of the fences that rise up when their platform does, take out the initial wave again then the minions will start to spawn, only two at a time which makes it a little longer. With the catapults take one of them out then after the initial wave is down go stand right next to the other catapult and it won't fire at you. Once the minions spawn just take them out without moving too far away from the catapult, again they only come 2 at a time.

 

Here is a video of the bunker arena method provided by EnemyBritBomber.

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/timefly.jpg

Time To Fly 5:gsicon:

Perform Your First Environmental Execution

 

This can be obtained right at the beginning of the game on the bridge. You just have to maneuver an enemy up to a railing or a hole in the bridge and attack them until they are ready to be executed. You will know you are set up for an environmental execution because the icon will change slightly, it will have a red crack in the skull.

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/firstblood.jpg

First Blood 5:gsicon:

Perform Your First Combat Execution

 

Easily obtained on the bridge at the beginning of the first chapter. Just perform your first execution outside of the little tutorial.

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/marketerUL.jpg

Marketer 20:gsicon:

Get In Combat With All Executions And Upgrades Purchased

 

Once you have all the upgrades and executions unlocked, simply get into a fight and the achievement is yours.

 

To unlock all the upgrades you will need to get to level 7 in SP and it will cost you 798,000 Valor for all combat upgrades and 1,202,000 Valor for all executions. So that's a cool 2 million total, this will likely take you two playthroughs, to make this a little faster you can buy the XP execution bonus upgrades first and use your XP execution as much as possible. The bonuses during your Legendary playthrough will likely be very small and not worth giving up the health regain for. If you find yourself short on Valor at the end of your second run you can load up Chapter I on recruit and fight your way to the end of the bridge, then restart checkpoint and repeat. Depending on your skill with executions and how high you can keep your multiplier you can easily get 60-100k+ Valor in five minutes.

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/giveceaser.jpg

Purchase And Use An Upgrade In Combat

This is cumulative and does not need to be done in the same match or with the same player.

 

http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/simplybestUL.png

Simply The Best 20:gsicon:

Achieve Rank 100 in Multiplayer

 

Reaching rank 100 is going to take 6 million XP and it is going to be a little bit of a grind, but with some practice it really shouldn't take that long. If you have a partner the best set up would to create a custom game and set the environment to 'Classic Rome'. Set your Gods to Jupiter, his Time Storm ability works the same as your Focus ability in single player and allows you to breach the defenses of any enemies. More importantly it allows you to rack up your multiplier which is key to gaining more XP, couple this with the Focus execution bonus and you can have this on tap for most of the match. You can only have 2 Focus capsules filled in MP so if you have two burn one to up your multiplier. The second player can set their God to Apollo or stick with Jupiter, the XP boost you receive from Diana is not worth it. Apollo's focus ability, Solar Stun, has the same effect as Jupiter's effectively allowing you to double up on your slowdowns and increase your multiplier even more. Mars' damage increase will certainly make things easier but will bring down your XP gain because less hit's = lower multiplier.

 

Now about that multiplier, this is the key to earning lots and lots of XP you are going to want to aim to keep that up for as much of the match as possible, all of it if you can manage it. That's craziness you fool I hear you scream, not with the help of http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/lb.png. Hitting that will have you playing to the crowd, which will freeze your multiplier while you wait for more enemies to come or you go out and find them. If it starts to flash, hit it again. Here are some tips to keep your multiplier going:

 

 

  • Take your time, slashing at thin air will end your combo faster, you have more than enough time to get your bearings after a kill to find an enemy before your multiplier drops. Don't just point your analogue to where you think they are and hit http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/xbut.png if you can't see them. Keep in mind while you are heading to your next objective than any combat action, evading or parrying arrows, will restart the timer on your multiplier dropping off. If this happens before you get to the combat hit http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/lb.png again to stop the timer.
  • Get into a rhythm with your strikes, pushes and parries. Most regular enemies will take two strikes then they will evade so you should be looking for your next target as that second strike lands, if you don't have any push them and strike again. Shielded enemies will need to be pushed, then struck twice, then move on.
  • Co-ordinate with your partner on when to use your Focus ability. If you see an advanced enemy type joining the fight, dual wielders or heavies, you are going to want one of you to hit your ability so you can quickly take them out of the game and go back to the regular enemies.
  • Keep your eye out for archers, they are hell on your multiplier. If you can, take the fight out of their line or sight. If they spawn near you quickly hop up and take them out before fighting the rest. But remember that even in the middle of a fight if you can hit http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/Abut.png at the right time you can still parry the arrows.
  • Executions will give you a moment to breath because you are invulnerable during them and some enemies will back off or just lose interest in you completely and go after your partner.
  • Try to spread out and share the enemies whenever possible. Getting to close together can be confusing and cause you to get hit, losing your multiplier.

If done correctly you will perform a co-op execution and the achievement will unlock.

Use An Execution To Set Fire To An Enemy

 

Can be obtained as early as Chapter I, during the fight with the fire wielding barbarian warlord towards the end of the chapter. Use your shield to push him into the flames he created and strike him until you see the execute prompt, hit http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/rt.png to begin the execution and the achievement will unlock.

 

Can also be unlocked in the MP arena, on certain environments there will be fire trap tiles that cause a ring of fire to encircle you for a couple of minutes. Enemies will jump through the flames to attack you, attack one until you get the execution prompt and just get him close to the fire before hitting http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/rt.png to initiate the execution.

There's No Such Thing As Luck 10:gsicon:

Kill An Enemy By Perfectly Deflecting An Arrow

 

You have to time a parry with http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j401/markv1982/Abut.png perfectly to deflect an incoming arrow into another enemy. I found a good place to do this is Chapter VI: Pax Romana. A little way into the level you will be tasked with defending a barge from the shore. In the first area you drop down into there are a few archers. Take out a couple, especially any on higher ground, the rest will be on the same level as you and I found it easier to hit them when they are. Step out and wait for the arrows to come and just try to time your parry. You will get it eventually.

Step Right This Way! 10:gsicon:

Use A Trap To Kill An Enemy

 

In the MP arenas various traps will spawn, you can either actively use a trap such as a oil pot on an enemy or you can strike/push them into a trap like the spinning blades. Luring an enemy over a trap tile won't count, as seen in the video below, you have to be actively engaged in combat with them. Once you have managed to take down one enemy with any trap the achievement will unlock.

Awesome guide so far, but I did have a few questions regarding the collectibles. Is there anywhere in the game the tells me which collectible I have in each level at all? It'd be nice if I knew exactly how many collectibles in each level I got on my own, and how many more I missed my first time.

 

Also, do collectibles carry over between playthroughs?

 

Thanks!

The only way I have seen to track them is with the companion app, which isn't ideal, especially seeing as it can't be used on phones. When I put the rest of the videos up later tonight I will add how many there are in each chapter.

Yes they carry over between playthroughs, and they also save as soon as you get them.

This doesn't need its own thread so hopefully someone can answer me here. Why does it keep notifying me that game clips have been recorded when you get to certain parts of the campaign? How do I disable this auto function?

 

FIFA 14 has been doing the same thing. I know how to delete the clips once they've been auto recorded, but i'd rather control what I record myself rather than having the X1 randomly decide what it's using my memory for.

The only way right now is to Go to settings , choose preferences and select to turn off the GameDVR. Unfortunately this will turn off manual recording as well. Significant moments and achievements are auto recorded.

Great thanks alot! It'll definitely make trying to figure out which ones I missed a whole lot easier. I can't believe that they still don't know how to do collectibles properly in this next generation... *sigh*

Hopefully someone can help me out here.

 

I completed the game on Soldier difficulty and got the achievements.

 

I am now playing the game on Legendary difficulty and have completed the first mission twice now and no achievement pop for beat The Beginning on Legendary. I have been skipping the cut scenes. Has anyone had trouble unlocking Legendary difficulty achievements? Should I not skip and cut scenes and just watch them out?
