Complete Resource Guide for Assassin's Creed Shadows: How to Find and Use

Like in any role-playing game, in Assassin's Creed Shadows, you need to level up your character and gear to fight stronger opponents in the final stages of the game. Special resources, which can be replenished in all locations, will help you with this. Let's discuss what materials you can find in the new part of the legendary series and what they are used for.
