How To Avoid Fall Damage in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Discover the methods in this detailed guide to reduce or even avoid fall damage in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows features intense combat and deep exploration, often requiring you to jump from high buildings or towers. Upon landing, there are chances of getting significant damage. This fall damage is temporary, and the health replenishes quickly. However, this regenerative mechanism does not work during active combat. Thus making your character vulnerable and susceptible to deadly damage. This article will help you avoid the fall damage in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Avoiding Fall Damage in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Before you take your next leap from a height in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, keep in mind that there are some ways by which you can reduce the fall damage and even avoid it. Here is a detailed guide for each method:

1. Hay or Water: If you have to jump from a height, and there is hay or water below, you can safely land without damage.
2. Lowering the character: If there is not a pile of hay or water to cushion the impact, the only option to reduce the fall damage is by lowering the character before jumping. To do this, press the dodge button (Circle for PlayStation or B on Xbox) near the edge to hang from it. Afterward, move the joystick in any direction to make the character jump. While this method would not eliminate the fall damage, it will reduce the damage by a significant amount.
3. Igan Roll: Igan Roll is a skill only available for Naoe. This skill minimizes the fall damage to a large extent by doing a front roll just before the landing. You can perform an Igan Roll by simply pressing the dodge button at the landing time.
4. Ninja Fall: Unlike Igan Roll, Ninja Roll can help you avoid the fall damage in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It is the next upgrade of the Igan Roll skill.

Using any of the above methods will give you an edge while exploring the vast map of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
