The *Assassin’s Creed* series is renowned 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 should know.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Guided Exploration Explained

Guided Exploration mode, a familiar feature in many *Assassin’s Creed* titles, returns in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. When activated, this mode ensures that your next quest objective is always marked on your map, helping you navigate the game without getting lost.

Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage more deeply with the game's world, using clues and investigation to track down your next move. For example, if your quest involves finding an NPC, you'll have to rely on the information provided and search for additional clues to pinpoint their location.

Guided Exploration simplifies this process by directly showing you where to go, eliminating the need for extensive exploration and clue-hunting.

Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?

The decision to use Guided Exploration mode ultimately depends on your play style. Personally, I find that the investigative elements in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* don't significantly enhance the gameplay experience. If your priority is to enjoy the story without the risk of getting stuck, turning on Guided Exploration is a good choice.

How to Turn On Guided Exploration

Enabling Guided Exploration is straightforward. At any point during your gameplay, pause the game and access the menu. Navigate to the Gameplay section, where you'll find the option to toggle Guided Exploration on or off. Adjust this setting according to your preference at any time.
