Top Ten Saddest Deaths in Assassin's Creed Games
Assassin's Creed has some of the saddest deaths ever. It could be in the modern day or the select time period. These break every fan's heart. In this I will not be considering the comics, so sorry Ezio and Edward, nor will I consider the movie, so sorry Maria. Without further ado, enjoy the list!
Absolutely the saddest death for me. He was the greatest Templar by far and a savage. After reuniting with his son, Connor, we start to think he will turn good again. Then, he is killed by Connor while trying to help Charles Lee.
This got me. Why did they do it? WHY?! I loved this character. They could have done so much with him! I took a liking to him from the first game because he was the beginning of it all. I even got into an argument with a friend about how important his character was!
Desmond was the first character we truly met. He was in the first five games of the franchise. In AC3, though, he finally meets his end in a tragic scene where he is forced to kill himself to save the world.
Lucy was a likable character, and in Brotherhood, we really feel sorry for her. She lived undercover with Vidic and the Templars for many years and witnessed the deaths of her only friends. She was then stuck in a rundown Italian city for the rest of her life. Plus, she searched for the Apple for so long, only to be killed as soon as Desmond picks it up.
A classic lovebirds' story. After Elise blames Arno for her father's death, she joins the Templars, only to realize she is being targeted and that Germain was responsible for her father's death. After Germain's order is taken out, Arno and Elise fight him, and Elise tragically dies in one of the saddest scenes in any video game.
In Assassin's Creed Origins, we witness a very tragic scene early in the game: the death of Bayek's son, Khemu. While trying to open the vault in Siwa, Khemu steals a knife from one of the members. He unties Bayek, and Bayek attempts to kill the members, but in the struggle, he accidentally stabs his own son.
A super sad scene in Revelations. One of the more well-liked characters is killed in a brutal, brutal way. His death sparks a rally from the Assassins, and led by Ezio, they get their revenge.
I almost cried. I was furious. They didn't have to do this. It still makes me mad!
Mario was a beloved character, and he dies just like that in Brotherhood. It is a very sad scene. During the assault on Monteriggioni at the beginning of the game, he is shot in the back by Cesare.
I remember this. This was sad. Man, all of these almost made me cry!
One of the saddest deaths. Hope was the one character who tried to reason with Shay. After she found out Shay was still alive, she attempted to kill him, and it almost worked, but Shay killed her at the last second in a tragic scene.
This was terrible. Oh gosh, and that music playing in the background too. When he went out into the crowd and announced that he, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, was still alive, it was one of the best comebacks.
At the beginning of Assassin's Creed II, we see both of Ezio's brothers and his father murdered in a public execution. A truly tragic scene that will make some shed tears.
The first Assassin we meet. He doesn't die tragically, but his death is still sad. In Revelations, Ezio is searching for Altair's library. Throughout the game, Ezio is able to view memories that Altair had recorded. In the final memory, in a very heartbreaking moment, we see Altair succumb to old age in the library.
I teared up at this... Why isn't this number one? This was sad! I mean, he was the first Assassin! Come on, this deserves to be number one. (Although Haytham's death was sad, I never got to that point in the game because it kept freezing.)
After the death of Mary, I played the rest of the game without any interest. When I deleted the game, there were a bunch of side quests left to complete, but you know... I couldn't play it without her.
SAD! You know that actually happened? That just makes it worse and even sadder.
Yeah, this one is definitely sad.
I never saw this coming, and they did it in slow motion too. This got me because I liked his character.
Achilles Davenport is the deuteragonist in Assassin's Creed III, and the main antagonist in Assassins's Creed: Rogue.
The first time I actually felt sad for a video game character dying. I remember being extremely sad for a week and couldn't even play Rogue for about ten days.
I was excited to play AC3 (I played AC4 first) and was looking forward to seeing Edward in old age, only to find out he was murdered by men under Reginald Birch's orders. Reginald was one of his employers, so he got betrayed. I couldn't play AC3 for five days after I found that out.
