Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets has been keeping one of 1666: Amsterdam's coolest mechanics under wraps: abilities found in jewelry box coffers that currently offer limitless buffs and perks… with a catch.
"When you die again, you lose those abilities that you found, and then you go back into a lottery [when you find a coffer]," Désilets tells journalists during a later level demo following a hands-on 1666 Amsterdam preview. "And so each time you lose, and you have to restart [the mission], you will have a different set of abilities with which to play the mission." So does that mean there is a limit to how many abilities Noa can equip if she doesn't die at all in the game? "Right now, no."
