This boss, Troy Calypso, is one of them. Because of his significance in the story, it is no wonder that Troy is one of the toughest fights in the game and cannot be taken down easily....

Assassin’s Creed games have been Ubisoft’s bread and butter over the last few generations. However, each game presents a somewhat standalone adventure, and so Ubisoft is looking to unify the experience with Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
