Guide to Legendary Difficulty

Guides

  • Several things change in Legendary difficulty. You do not get extra execution bonuses, and you will not have an obvious signal before an enemy launches a heavy attack. Flaws in the combat system also are more noticeable, as you can't afford to make mistakes. You must master the system and make use of everything it has to offer, even aspects you didn't need to use on lower difficulties.
  • Do not try to play the game on Legendary until you have almost all of Marius's executions and abilities unlocked. Since your execution bonuses will be much smaller, you need every bit.
  • Master your ability to dodge and block enemy attacks. You need high combos to defeat enemies, and you can only take about four or five hits. Damage executions can be quite effective.
  • You will face many more heavy attacks than you did on lower difficulties. Keep an eye out for enemies about to use a heavy attack and either dodge the attack, or block it at just the right time.
  • You can use heavy attacks of your own when you hold down X or Y. This will make combat easier for you, especially against more difficult enemies.
  • The blocking system is also very effective against bosses. Once you practice, it will become second nature. If you block a boss's heavy attack, the boss will be thrown off balance, which provides a good opportunity for you to use your own heavy attacks.
  • When you are facing multiple enemies at once, vary your attacks between them. If you try to focus on just one, the others can attack you. If you attack each of them, you can hold them off and make your way to victory.

Earn Free Gold

Hints

You can earn gold for Ryse: Son of Rome by reading the tie-in comics found here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/games/ryse/comic/

As you read each comic, you will notice hidden pouches of gold in some of the panels. Click on them. The site will ask you to enter a Gamertag to credit the gold to, so you can either enter your own or someone else's (if, for example, you want to give the gold to a friend who plays Ryse). It is possible to receive a maximum of 50 gold per comic, although there is more than that available.

If you leave or refresh the page, the comic's tracking feature seems to reset.

Of the three listed comics, the first two, Claudius and Porcius, are currently available.

Look in the locations below to find the gold hidden in Claudius:

  • Page 5 - In the bottom panel, an impaled barbarian has a pouch of gold attached to his belt.
  • Page 6 - In the top panel, an attacking barbarian on the left has a pouch of gold attached to his belt.
  • Page 8 - In the top panel, to the right, there is a pouch of gold next to an old man.
  • Page 14 - In the top panel, a soldier holds a pouch of gold in his left hand.
  • Page 17 - In the top panel, a pouch of gold rests beside a fallen soldier.
  • Page 19 - In the top panel, there is a pouch of gold on the left side.
  • Look in the locations below to find the gold hidden in Porcius:
  • Page 4 - In the bottom panel, there is a pouch of gold on top of the wagon to the right.
  • Page 7 - In the top pane, the soldier standing in the middle has a pouch of gold attached to his belt.
  • Page 10 - In the bottom panel, the barbarian on the left has a pouch of gold attached to his belt.
  • Page 14 - In the top panel, the soldier wearing the purple cape has a pouch of gold attached to his belt.
  • Page 20 - In the top panel, the soldier on the left wearing the red cape has a pouch of gold attached to his belt.
