Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Enable Guided Exploration Mode?

The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its expansive open-world exploration, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this tradition. If you're considering using the Guided Exploration mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, here's what you need to know.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained

Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in many *AC* games, makes a return in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode will always highlight your next quest objective, ensuring you never lose your way.

Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage more deeply with the game's environment to find your next steps. For example, if you're tasked with tracking down an NPC, you'll rely on the clues and information provided in the game to deduce their whereabouts or search for additional hints to guide you to your goal.

Guided Exploration simplifies this process by directly pointing you to your objective, cutting out the investigative legwork.

Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?

The choice to use Guided Exploration mode is entirely personal. In my experience, the investigative elements in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* don't significantly enhance the gameplay, so enabling this mode won't detract from your experience. If your focus is on enjoying the story without the risk of getting lost or stuck, turning on Guided Exploration is a good choice.

How to Turn On Guided Exploration

You can toggle Guided Exploration on or off at any time during gameplay. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and go to the Gameplay section. From there, you can switch Guided Exploration mode on or off as desired.
