For Honor: All Knights Campaign Collectibles [Breakables / Observables]

For Honor isn’t just about cutting down your enemies — it’s also about busting open collectible breakables, and staring at environmental observables. Those are the kinda-awkward titles for the collectibles in Ubisoft’s sword-on-sword melee multiplayer game. Instead of finding notes, you’ll want to observe the environment and smash vases. Looking at stuff and breaking stuff is what video games are all about, so kudos to For Honor for making this easier for all of us.

Here, we’re covering the first Chapter of the singleplayer campaign, putting you in the iron shoes of the Iron Legion. These noble knights are the protectors of the realm, and the closest thing to a group of “standard” fantasy heroes you’ll get in this Knights vs. Samurai mashup game. Sure, they might be based on the Crusaders (the fan community just loves shouting “DEUS VULT” at every opportunity), but the Knights are your first step into the weird cross-cultural world depicted in For Honor.

Each mission features a number of Observables and Breakables, the two types of collectibles in For Honor. Breakables are, well, things you can break! Usually breakables are a bunch of vases / crates. You don’t need to destroy them all to “collect” a breakable. Destroying just one of the bunch counts.

Observables are things you can look at — watch for an “eye” icon as you look around the environment. If you focus your camera on it, an [L1 / LB] will appear. Press it to officially observe and “collect” this second type of collectible.
