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 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, guiding you directly to where you need to go and preventing you from getting lost.

Without Guided Exploration, you'll need to engage more deeply with the game's world, using clues and information to track down NPCs or uncover your next steps. For example, if you're tasked with finding a specific character, you'll have to rely on your detective skills to piece together their whereabouts or search for additional clues to guide you to your goal.

Guided Exploration simplifies this process by providing immediate direction, eliminating the need for extensive investigation.

Should You Use Guided Exploration Mode?

The decision to use Guided Exploration mode is entirely personal. From my perspective, the investigative elements in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* don't significantly enhance the gameplay experience. If you prefer to immerse yourself in the story without the risk of getting 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. Simply pause the game, navigate to the menu, and go to the Gameplay section. Here, you can switch Guided Exploration mode on or off as needed.
