 Hello everyone and welcome to Immortals Phoenix Rising, a sponsored video by Ubisoft! I've gotta get my Christmas bonus somehow! So I just wanna say thank you again for allowing me early access to showcase this amazing game for you. I've had so much fun, which we're about to see in the preceding video! This is a game where you take control of Phoenix, just a mere mortal in a land of gods. And if you hadn't have guessed it already, this is of course steeped in Greek mythos. We take on stuff like the Minotaur, Medusa, all those lovely beasties, and taking on the biggest boss of them all, the Titan, Typhon. Who has apparently like killed all the other gods and now it's up to you, Phoenix, to kinda restore the rest of the world. How'd you take on such creatures like the Minotaur and the Cyclops and even Typhon himself? You use weapons of heroes past, like Achilles' sword or Odysseus' bow. While you play the game, you also have commentary supplied by Zeus and Prometheus, which in some parts can be quite hilarious. So basically, I don't even need to talk! So a big shout out to Ubisoft for sponsoring this video and allowing me early access to show you this game. So sit back and enjoy! Let's go! Build Mother Divine! Wise as the Thenum! Mighty Poseidon! The Earthshaker! Sailor's Artemis! With her deadly aim! Set to pierce it in the heart of a hummingbird! Pain-type beings! All of them! I see them there! Coming closer! Behold your death! She popped into battles! Let the heal of Achilles! These weaknesses will be the runway! So he's a good guy, right? I have no such flaws! There are stuff all in! Only one stands between me and the rehabilitation of Olympus. Only the foulest, most arrogant, narrow-minded, cocksers that have drawn us will drop me in his death! The one and only Zeus! Oh, look! It's Prometheus! I love you! I change you up and basically let you die! Out of love! Your liver was pecked out every day by a crow! Typhoon is free. The once forth beside his allies, the Titans, convince him to stand down. Go on. Blast me! I can't! He took my lightning! He took everything! Even the other gods are missing! Look to the mortals! That's done! Those evil, imbycilic, tasteless parasites were all turned to stone! If you win, I'll end your punishment and set you free. But if I win, you help me stop Typhoon, whatever it takes. And your liver still gets pecked out every day by a raven. Let the tale of Phoenix be my redemption! Oh, no! Not one of your stories! How long is this going to- My tale begins at sea, a ship of soldiers, returning from a faraway battle, their victory ambushed by an unexpected storm. The sea tossed and turned, waves churned to a fron. The line between sky and sea all but vanished. The mountainous peaks of the waves descended into valleys nearly as deep as Tartarus. You're really painting a picture here! The lowest ranked among them, a shield-bearer, who dreamt of battle, but had seen nary a skirmish. Wait! Don't tell me! It's me! Oh, come on! That's what I'll be! Bald! Yes! My green dude's ready! Washed up on an unknown shore, Phoenix awoke. Look, August! Captain! Can anyone hear me? No! And this is where I could take control, is it? Oh, brilliant! Alright, let's get this tutorial out the way! I must reach the top of the mountain. Ooh, look! A stamina bar! That's new! I must find a weapon! Jump towards it! Ooh, collect! Oh, Fobos? Fobos! It lives! That's right, put yourself on it! Oh, look! Friends! Run away, run away! Oh my God, like a boss! Oh, more of them! Oh! Almost a double kill! I'm killing my friends! I'll be able to survey the land from up there. Ooh! Just like Assassin's Creed! Oh, water! My only weakness! I must climb to the highest room in the tallest tower! And only then can I save the princess! This will be my best friend! I've got to climb all the way to his head! Oh my God, yes! Scout! Ooh! Phoenix's destiny was becoming clear. So far, all you have shown me... Hello! Is a mortal soldier who has fought one real battle! And Typhon grows stronger by the hour! Don't toy with me, Prometheus! I swear to you that soldier shall be our salvation. For if he fails, and Typhon defeats us, through skin of gods, the world will fall to chaos. Ah, that's fine! World's already chaos as it is! If it has an oracle or a seer, they could help me undo this curse. A griffon? They are real! Let me go! Go have their helpless strange ship! I'm coming! No, you're not! We're going to the temple! Reveal everything! Reveal yourselves! How to get down? We jump, you fool! Of course! But first, let me collect this shiny thing. Yeah! I'm brosier! I love rice pudding! It smells like honey! And the first day of spring! And my first kiss! All rolled into one! I know, man! I love rice pudding, too! I guess I die! Oh, it actually told me to jump in the pond below. I didn't realize that. Well, that's lucky. I got it right. It's weight, a reminder of the heavy responsibility. You gave him your blade? Oh, Achilles. I meant to ask, why exactly would you expect to receive a sword from Achilles? Oh, as an offering, just a routine offering from someone Oh, look! Offerings in a temple! Let me pillage! I love pomegranates! I left a rose on his breastplate. Got something in my eye. Keep going. Haha! I like the commentary between those two guys. It's awesome. Hey, look, a statue! Oh. Get to the action part. Fine. Now that's more like it. Wait a minute! You've got pomegranates! I love pomegranates! Oh! Oh, dodges! Dodge towards! Dodge, dodge! Blast! They are meant to be shared by Typhon's minions, metal of the gods. Unlike the mortal flesh, which had been frozen into marble, the pomegranate sprung forth defiantly. It's all about the pomegranate. Ah, you got it, man. Just run. Oh, I'll take 40s! I'll take 40s! I love taking 40s! Hello? Can you hear? Nix approached the axe, feeling it gall to him. I love you! Looks like the axe of Atalanta. That must be a copy. Although, but before Phoenix could claim it, the axe was pulled into the pit by a terrible force. Goldilocks! You think that all draping to my partner said the sight loops to the sailor. Okay. I mean, he sounds nice. Let's go. Perfectly possible storytelling. I won't lie, there were moments that were right, but he really caught me with that ending. Oh, that's brilliant. That's the one I would edit in. Time for you to head... Suss, suss, suss, suss. Oh, really? That is not... Aww. Wow. Where am I? This doesn't look like a swamp. What was this strange place? It started... Are you ready, guys? Are you ready? Oh, I almost died. Are you ready for a speed run? The nasty abyss where I imprisoned... What? He must have opened rifts into the vaults of the underworld when he escaped. You know it, I know it. Say it. Phoenix was in time. Sure. Oh! Oh, it's a scary lever. I want to run. I forgot what run is. Yeah! But I don't believe... Oh, no. Better be to do that. Let's see if you can complete my challenge. Or if you will fall like all the others. Challenge? This is hardly a challenge. You just put levers all over the place. This is easy. As he almost falls off the edge by swiping a sword. Yes. Treasure! I push this back now. Oh, my God. What's this? Oh! He read my mind. Phoenix ran his hands over them. Shiny. Rusty spooks. I've ripped them apart. They seem to be man-made. I wonder how they work. If they even work. Aww. I got broken wings. That means I can double jump. Yes! Oh, look. It's the axe. Well, they were doing naughty things in my temple. They deserve to be lions. All right then. Aww, yay! Yaw! Oh, that's how you take down the shieldy dudes. Oh, yes! Yaw! Oh, this is so much fun. I love killing things. Great fun. Totally a good show. Yaw! I don't even need to be facing them. Yaw! I said something. A bolt of my lightning. Scatterth. Hidden by Typhon. It's over. Phoenix is hell of a flash. No one can handle those bolts but me. Oh, really? Oh, yes, Gibby! Oh, I... Wow! One of the curbs uses lightning bolt? No way! Power serves to Phoenix. AHHHH! What's happening to me? Bye-bye, Morphole. And then, just like that... No! The wings crowned the lightning. They were designed to withstand storms. That shouldn't be possible. And yet, this is just the beginning. Look at me go! Look at me fall! With the wings, he would be able to flip across the ancient bridge and find out. I wouldn't just strap on this garbage junk. Who knows where those have been? Many a night, Phoenix had told tales of a genius. An inventor named Tedos and his extraordinary wings. Perhaps someone copied their design, Phoenix News. So junk! Ah, I can sprint with me wings! And then I can just click that and make... Oh, ho, ho, ho! Oh, this is great. All right, I still need... Where am I going? Oh, yeah! Piggy! Wait, I need my... Oh my God, the piggy can do rolls! Yeah, it's my piggy! It's just like Assassin's Creed Odyssey all over again! Oh, bye, people! Where'd you go? Well, he's dead. So yeah, if you guys enjoyed my Assassin's Creed Odyssey series, or pretty much any of the Assassin's Creed videos that I've done on the channel, you're going to love this one. You've got crafting. You've got leveling up, like skill trees, all that jazz. Everything that makes an Ubisoft game, an Ubisoft game. I was lucky enough to actually play a test build of this. Not too long ago. And, oh my God, I loved it. I loved everything. I love the design. I love the... Oh, what's going on here? Oh, I'm not coming! Like, Greek mythology has always been something that's fascinated me. Just like dinosaurs. And we are going to try and take off. I don't want to find a boss. In this video, I want to find something that's vegan, mean-y. Oh, wait, what's this? Did I do it? What is that? A gorgon? Oh, did it hit him? What's that glimmering? Maybe if I sneak up on it. Stealth attack? Oh, yeah, there you go. That's how you do it. Now for the regulates. Oh, he's got... So every, every thing you face has like a stamina bar and a, or a daze bar and a health bar. Oh, there he goes. Oh, Godlets. These bracers, I've seen them in drawings. They can't be. Ah, but they were. Heracles, mightiest of mortals. Slayer of beasts. Defied Hera. And accomplished the impossible, wearing those bracers. And now, they belong to Phoenix. Oh, Hercules. Bless my soul, Phoenix on a roll. Oh, he's going. Wait a minute. We let him go. Ah, we've been trapped. No, don't carry it. Oh, I didn't know I could even do that. Right, so we're going to take out the Gorgon because the Gorgon apparently is the biggest threat. Sneak attack! Yes. That's how we do it. Okay, more stuns. Yes. So we get the stuns. Oh, well, they can't even touch me because I spin round. Oh, no, I don't think so, buddy boy. That's how we do it. Oh, my prize. More pomegranates. Get in. Ooh, let's go to the table. I'm here. So let me get this straight. Instead of heating up the Temple of Apollo to speak with the Oracle, Phoenix is hightailing it after this stranger. Phoenix, truly a good person, sought to help the mysterious stranger, but he never lost sight of the fact that he was getting ever closer to the Temple of Apollo and a solution to the terrible curse inflicted upon his brother and fellow soldiers. Oh, yes. Remind me to erase my own faults with narration. Oh, are you seeing this? I'm doing amazing here. Like, its first wife by getting up and in her fly, and then ate. Wait, that's what happened to Nettis. I thought she was visiting her sister in Babylon. There we go, see? We can get all done. Guys, I'm just a pro. I'm just a pro at this. I've been playing for what? 40 minutes? Pro. Ooh, the weapon. Is that the bow of Artemis? Oh, Odysseus' bow. Ooh. Footwork, little one. Let's see if you have control. Be yourself. Oh. It's that thing. It's talking to me. Ah. Oh, well, that was easy. Anyway, does it keep these weapons of, obviously these are weapons that are supposed to, you know, stop me from progressing, but doesn't keep them very well protected, let's just say. But the third would require the focus of a master archer. Forget it. Kids today play seashells. Escape rocks, stay at the wall. You know they're hyperactive. This from the God who thinks a weak man constitutes a long-term relationship. Keep that steady arm, little one, and you might just survive. Oh, see that? Them skills. Bam. Oh. Fell into loads of tiny pieces. That's just, that needed just two for this as well. What a coinkie-dink. Heh heh heh heh. It's like it was meant to be. Yes! More lightning! Oh, look at that. Now that's an exit. I'm getting this down. I'm assuming this is it. Oh, no! Wait, what's it doing? Oh, God. It did the thing. I don't know what that was, but it did it. Don't bite me, strangers. Just let me just whack you as well. What, you firing arrows at me, mate? Yaw! Yaw! Heh heh heh. Alright, then. Hold on, let me take the pomegranates before I talk to you. Oh! Sorry, dude. I didn't see you there. Wait. Heh heh heh. There you go. Could I talk to you now? It's over. You can come out. No thanks. I'm good. Is it because I'm green? There's nothing to worry about. If I had wanted to hurt you, I could just as easily come and stab you back there. Through that. So, I'm going to go. Phoenix. Unique name. Appreciate the assistance, Phoenix. Nice bracelets. Thanks. I'm on my way to the Temple of Apollo to see the Oracle. Me too. Ha! It's right over there. Oh, great. I can use all the help I can get. We should go together. Wait, how did he open the door? My bracers. That rotten little thief. I saved you. Kill him! Break your legs. Oh, I guess here we go. You do everything you can for them and then they betray you. Step forward into the light. What light? The mysteries I have to offer are as infinite as the grains of sand scattered. Yeah, yeah. Just give me what you got. All that I have to show on Moon Souls. Well, let's took a turn. Go on the attack. And sooner than later, change them all back. A pearl in the seas, forged fires lit, a wise child convinced, a feather's weight of weight, and destructed his father overthrown. You know? Now that was a prophecy. What was? Have these bracelets back. You're going to need them when you're going. Come with me. No. Look, I'm sorry about stealing from you. It's just something I do. It's kind of a problem. So it's not even remotely. I needed an offering for the Oracle. I thought you were a nobody and I didn't like your face. But that's all behind us now. It's because I am green, isn't it? We don't have much time. Nobody ever likes the green guy. He will be here soon. Who? I have just a ticket for you to make it to the mainland. Where are those wings? These? Now who's the thief? Don't look so smug. They won't fly yet anyway. You have to find the other piece. What do you mean, fly? Focus. After that, we need a jar stolen from Aelis. It's in there? I'll go begin the preparations. Meet me at the top of the observatory with the jar. I... I don't understand. You're in grave danger. Help me help you. Okay. But about what you said earlier. And you're gone. Onto the thingy. Then it'll probably open it. And then we click it. And then we could just jump down. Not rocket science. Time to run. Click the things. Grab the things. Place the things. Oh, did you see what they did? They switched it up and thought I wouldn't even notice. But this one's actually the heavy one. Oh, game. That was very clever. No, don't move it off. Maybe I am stupid. That's what you get for being an eager beaver. Oh, hello guys. Gorgons. Gorgons. Don't you make me use my pomegranates. Right, I've got 27 of the buggers. Oh, can I not use them? Do I have to like turn them into like a thing? Oh, laser eyes. Oh, there we go. Off he goes. Like a rocket. I want it. I want it. Wait, was the heel? Oh, it's the golden pomegranate. You see, I probably would have been stuck on this if I hadn't already played the game. I didn't realize you could grab stuff through things. Hey, there he goes. Broly-poly does it. And time to go. Speed run strats. Are you ready? Go. Oh, God. What was it? Make it. There we go. Yes. Oh, whatever. Straight through. Oh, oh, no. That's got Typhus' face on. His thoughts turned toward his mother and father. Were they safe in Argos? Had they two been transformed? Phoenix couldn't help you. A huge monster appears. Oh, no. Oh, this is not so good. It's ginormous, but Phoenix just laughed. So you want to dance, huh? Wait, what? The adorable monster was never so playful. Everything he had prayed for to take his mind off his worries. It was a gift from Olympus. He would treasure forever. Deep within his vulnerable, yet ever expanding. Ah, fine. Have it your way. Just don't make me vomit. Phoenix faced the monster. Ready? The monster. OK, what are we going to do? You're just going to hit him in the eye. That's their weakness. Oh! That's not fair. I'm going to hit you in your eye. Oh, I'm not very good at this. Yes, there we go. There we go. Just rock him. But it's his weakness. Get him. Oh, no. There we go. OK. Come on. Come here, you. I want to hit you in your big eye. I got this. I've got to finish it with the eyeball shot. You ready? Oh, that's the next shot. No, we can't finish it like that. And off we go. That was cool. Taking on the Cyclops. I wonder if this is where we face a lot of the bosses, like the Minotaur and Medusa and stuff. That's a big bottle. More like a vase. This little thing can't contain the wind. That's impossible. Just in this guy was a nobody like two seconds ago and here he is. He's got all this stuff. I mean, do I have some? I just feel like I'm dreaming, aren't I? OK. So in order to make health potions and what's it called? Oh, God. Oh, there you go. Yeah, we have to find a temple in order to... Oh, we... Oh, no, yeah. Don't, son. In order to craft those potions. I don't know where it is. There might be one like right here. I don't think so. Die. Is this it? We craft one here. Oh, no. Define a specific place for it. OK, so there's a lot of these kinds of things in the game. They're cool puzzles, if you like. Ah, got you. OK, that's how we get in here. Put you down. And you'll let me in here. And then... I can just get out of there. OK. Through the fire and the flames. Woo-hoo! Next one. Thank you! And we did it! Ooh. OK, let's collect it. Oh, that's right. So I can't really do these. I think these coins you spend on upgrades and stuff. Well, something we haven't even done. We haven't even done. Let's try that. Is he here? Oh, there he is. Hold on, let me just loot the treasure first. Oh, we got new gear! Oh, my God. We just have to talk about equipping new stuff. Equip. So now, we can do this. So a plus one stamina chunk, minus 10 stamina consumption over time. If we get it to level 4, I think that is. Oh-ho-ho-ho! And there you go. So even if you want to you want to still look like that but have this on, you can click X and you can have that. So you can equip it and have different aesthetic looks but still have the perks. Which is pretty cool. Because you might like one thing the way it looks but not like it's perks. I thought you were preparing something. Yeah, preparing for you to return. You got the wings? Yes. There. Not really good as new. Something new. You have the jar, right? Get ready to open it. What is that? What is that? You thought you could escape me? You stole something from that thing? I told you. It's a problem. Tree delivery boy. You do not deserve the crown you were given. We'll take you down, Typhon. Just like before. Just like before. Like before. We... There is no wing. Not anymore. Oh, that was easy. That's one powerful job. Okay, we need to get to safety. Stat. What was that monster? He was a cutie, wasn't he? Typhon. Not the Typhon. Oh, you have no idea. Gotta get to the Hall of the Gods. Then we can talk. You ready to fly? These were Daedalus' wings. The Daedalus. The great inventor. So? So they didn't work right and killed his son. He'll be fine. Just don't fly too close to Helios. And also don't try to go to the bathroom during turbulence. You should make it to the mainland without crashing. Probably. You literally robbed me. And now you're saving me. Why? I didn't follow most of what the Oracle ran through. But if the prophecy is on the money, hero on high, you're the only one who can stop Typhon from remaking the world. We don't even know if it's about me. For someone trying to help everyone right and left, maybe you should accept help once in a while. It's said the one with green skin can kill him. Isn't it obvious? Hermes? You mean all the stories are real? Something's wrong with your face. It's doing that slack-jawed thing again. Fly to the Golden Isle. Meet me at the Hall of the Gods. I'll be waiting. Phoenix gazed across the narrow band of sea at the peaks and valleys of the Golden Isle ahead. The long path to his true destiny lay stretched out before him. Wait! That was just a prologue! How does it take someone that long to begin a story? Odysseus made it home faster. He's about to jump. Be quiet and listen. This is it. I'm gonna jump, and I'm gonna die. Okay. Wait, hold on. Is there not something here? Is there not something I can do? Okay. I can do it! I can fly! Ahhhh! Well, guys, that's gonna have to wrap up this video here, but if you have enjoyed it, oh my god, that was loads of fun, and it only gets better from here on out. You take on even more monsters, get even better weapons, upgrade all this gear, so much more to do. I can't wait. I'm gonna play some modes by the time, actually. But I just wanna say big thanks again to Ubisoft for sponsoring this video. And again, if you have seen anything that you like, when this takes your fancy, you can pick it up. It's coming out soon. I'll put up the date right now, because I don't know it off the top of my head, but do check it out if Greek mythology and skill trees and upgrading and grinding, all that sort of thing really takes your fancy. But again, if you enjoyed the video, leave a like. Until next time, I'll see you later. Oh, bye-bye. Die, bush! Die! I'm the gardener! Woo-hoo! Bye-bye.
